On that note let me briefly remind friends the time line of Muhammad(Life to death) as a person and as a Prophet of Islam..
year wise time line of Life of Prophet of Islam "Muhammad" from Islamic sources 545: Birth of Abdullah,
the Holy Prophet's father.571: Birth of the Holy Prophet. Year of the Elephant. Invasion of Makkah by Abraha the Viceroy of Yemen, his retreat.
577: The Holy Prophet visits Madina with his mother. Death of his mother.
580: Death of Abdul Muttalib, the grandfather of the Holy Prophet.
583: The Holy Prophet's journey to Syria in the company of his uncle Abu Talib. His meeting with the monk Bahira at Bisra who foretells of his prophethood.
586: The Holy Prophet participates in the war of Fijar.
591: The Holy Prophet becomes an active member of "Hilful Fudul", a league for the relief of the distressed.
594: The Holy Prophet becomes the Manager of the business of Lady Khadija, and leads her trade caravan to Syria and back.
595: The Holy Prophet marries Hadrat Khadija. Seventh centuryWe must realize here, until thetime year 594., there is nothing big deal about that young fellow Mr. Mohammad., no hint of any God/Allah choosing him as his/her/its messenger. But many of the so-called Islamic religious teachers write so much nonsense about this guy even before that alleged Allah first revelations took place in that Hira cave.
7th Century (600-699) C.E.
605: The Holy Prophet arbitrates in a dispute among the Quraish about the placing of the Black Stone in the Kaaba.
610: The first revelation in the cave at Mt. Hira. The Holy Prophet is commissioned as the Messenger of God.
613: Declaration at Mt. Sara inviting the general public to Islam.
614: Invitation to the Hashimites to accept Islam.
615: Persecution of the Muslims by the Quraish. A party of Muslims leaves for Abyssinia.
616: Second Hijrah to Abysinnia.
617: Social boycott of the Hashimites and the Holy Prophet by the Quraish. The Hashimites are shut up in a glen outside Makkah.
619: Lifting of the boycott. Deaths of Abu Talib and Hadrat Khadija. Year of sorrow.
So in the year 610, when The first revelation in the cave at Mt. Hira was revealed to Muhammad instantaneously with in few day he become Holy, And holy Prophet himself along wih few close relatives was commissioned as the Messenger of God[/b].
We must realize also here until the day Hadrat Khadija(ra) died the Holy Prophet Mohammad and his Islam was nothing but a local discussion in t Pagan temples of Mecca ro at the best feudal class fighting with each other for town power or with in couple of towns. His REAL ISLAM indeed started after the death of his first wife Khadija.
620: Journey to Taif. Ascension to the heavens.
621: First pledge at Aqaba.
622: Second pledge at Aqaba. The Holy Prophet and the Muslims migrate to Yathrib.
623: Nakhla expedition.
624: Battle of Badr. Expulsion of the Bani Qainuqa Jews from Madina.
625: Battle of Uhud. Massacre of 70 Muslims at Bir Mauna. Expulsion of Banu Nadir Jews from Madina. Second expedition of Badr.
626: Expedition of Banu Mustaliq.
627: Battle of the Trench. Expulsion of Banu Quraiza Jews.
628: Truce of Hudaibiya. Expedition to Khyber. The Holy Prophet addresses letters to various heads of states.
629: The Holy Prophet performs the pilgrimage at Makkah. Expedition to Muta (Romans).
630: Conquest of Makkah. Battles of Hunsin, Auras, and Taif.
631: Expedition to Tabuk. Year of Deputations.
632: Farewell pilgrimage at Makkah.
632: Death of the Holy Prophet. Election of Hadrat Abu Bakr as the Caliph. Usamah leads expedition to Syria. Battles of Zu Qissa and Abraq. Battles of Buzakha, Zafar and Naqra. Campaigns against Bani Tamim and Musailima, the Liar
So frankly speaking Muhammad's Islam started in the year 621 and ended in the year 632. which is ~ 11 years..
well continue to dissect the life Prophet Muhammad on and off in this thread with little more details in those last 11 years of his life..
