He was known for being honest and truthful before prophethood. Worked as a shepherd and later as a trader. Married his first wife Khadija, and the mother of his surviving children, when he was 25. She was 40.
49 The Prophet His prophethood In 610, he received his first revelation at 43. These revelations were compiled later into the Quran The nobles of Mecca refused his call, ostracized and persecuted him and his followers. After 12 difficult years, he immigrated in 622 to Medina whose people welcomed him. In Medina, he was a prophet and a statesman.

58 The Muslim Women The first to accept Muhammad s message was his wife Khadija. Many of his followers were women who embraced Islam before their spouses or fathers. Islam gave women the following rights, 1400 years ago: The right to decide their future Muslim husbands. The right to a definite share of the estate of a father, husband or children. A will cannot take away or abrogate this right. The right to own property independently of their husbands or children. The right to education. The right to conduct their own commercial business. The right to participate in politics.
59 Communicating with Muslims Muslims take their religion, and its symbols, very seriously. Muslims invoke prayers frequently in their daily chores. Muslim women are required to dress modestly and not to show their beauty except to near family. Muslims are not supposed to sit or meet alone with members of the opposite sex. Muslims are respectful of elders, women and persons of authority. Out of respect they may not look at you in the eye, not because they are avoiding you. Muslims have dietary restriction; mainly they are not allowed to eat pork, wild animals or animals slaughtered improperly. Islam forbids alcoholic beverages and drugs.
60 Winning the Muslims Know them better: their religion and culture(s). Communicate with leaders and institutions to build trust and cooperation. Solicit advice from leaders on handling issues and situations. Show respect and understanding: soft approach works better than hard one.
