Who was Muhammad?

In 570 AD a boy was born to a trading family in the city of Mecca, his grandfather named him Muhammad, ‘The Praised One’. Muhammad was 6-years-old when both his parents died and he was raised first by his grandfather and then by his uncle.

As he grew up, Muhammad was given many titles, amongst them the name ‘al Amin’, meaning ‘the trustworthy one’. One story that shows why he earned this reputation was for destroying the idols of the Kaaba.
