The room where the Prophet and two of his companions are buried
The Death of the Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him) died in 632 CE. He had founded a new world religion. He had also presented the world with a concept, the ummah (or community), which stood for social justice, compassion and tolerance. Out of the incorrigible warring factions of the tribes of the Arabian peninsula, Muhammad (peace be upon him) had, with God's help, forged a coherent force capable of spreading out from the Arabian peninsula to the rest of the world.
