Mohammed’s acquaintance with Islam is closely related to his personal experiences, spiritual journey and encounters with divine revelations. He was born in 570 CE in Mecca and grew up among people who practiced polytheism, tribalism and inequalities. Nevertheless, Muhammad’s search for truth and spiritual fulfillment would ultimately lead him to the last messenger of Islam. This narrative explores the different stages of revelation that shaped Muhammad’s understanding of Islam, beginning from his early childhood until the time he received divine revelations.

Early Life and Influences:The Quraysh tribe belonged to Mecca where they had been entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing worship at Kaaba, a holy shrine that housed idols worshipped by pre-Islamic Arabs. Though orphaned at an early age Muhammad lived with his grandfather first then uncle Abu Talib. As a young boy he earned a reputation for honesty, trustworthy and deep thought, which earned him the name “Al-Amin”.

Since his growing years, Muhammad had been exposed to different religious and cultural influences present in Meccan society. The polytheistic belief of the pagans was practiced alongside diluted versions of monotheistic faith inherited from Abraham and Ishmael that were corrupted by idolatry and superstitions. These contrasting world views with which Muhammad grew up would lead him into a path of introspection and spiritual questioning.

In all human history, this desire to know the cosmos has been universal; and nothing would change with the diverse cultural perspectives on it. One of the most amazing episodes in that ongoing story is Islamic astronomy. It developed into a rich tradition during the Golden Age of Islam (8th-14th century). In that period, many scholars in the Islamic world made contributions to science generally, thereby making further exploration possible while also changing our understanding of how sciences work.

To grasp how much impact Islamic astronomy had, we need to be aware of its historical context. The era was marked by a proliferation of scientific activities as well as cultural and intellectual pursuits in huge Islamic caliphates from Spain to central Asia. This was the time when Muslim theologians greatly advanced various fields of science based on knowledge borrowed from ancient Indian, Greek, and Persian civilizations.

One key figure in Islamic astronomy was Al-Battani (858-929 CE), who is also known by his Latin name Albategnius. He contributed great ways that improved celestial observations and challenged existing astronomical theories derived from Ptolemy.
