The Holy Prophet of Islam, born in 571 AD, is considered by Muslims and non-Muslims alike as the most influential person who ever walked on the earth. Muslims consider him the restorer of an uncorrupted original monotheistic faith (Islam) of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and other prophets.

He is viewed as the final prophet of God in all the main branches of Islam, though some modern denominations diverge from this belief. For Muslims, he is a model to be emulated. Every speech given by any Islamic scholar exhorts Muslims to follow the Prophet in their daily lives. His life and teaching are relevant to Muslims in their daily-to-day lives; each action, each saying and each habit of his are emulated faithfully.
