Text

Muhammad is the prophet of Islam, living about 570–632 CE in the setting of Islam’s seventh-century emergence. [1]

Islamic tradition places Qur’anic revelation to him between 610 and 632. This provides general context; revelation dates in tradition differ from the age of a particular manuscript’s parchment or copying.
