Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) is the Last Prophet sent by Allah and is Seal of Prophethood.
Era of Uncivility (Daur e Jahilayat) 
Before the advent of Prophet Muhammed SAW many evil practices/rituals were prevalent in Arab world such as: Ill-treatment of Orphans: Considering the orphan as inauspicious and treating them badly or slurping their wealth & property.  Female fortification or infanticide was practiced as fathers would prefer to bury girl child alive.  Unfair distribution of Property: Girls had no share in the property of their fathers. Even in many so-called modern societies these practices are performed where girl is treated more or less as burden and boys are considered as care takers of parents during their old age. While these Arabs took great pride in their Arabic Poetry & Literature. Much to their disbelieve and awe, Allah has revealed His last book Quran in poetic form to His Last Prophet SAW , who was “Ummi” , unable to read or write. 
End of Uncivility (Jahilayat) : Just as his predecessors, Prophet Muhammed PBUH, led by example in abolishing these evil practices. Allah has used Prophet Muhammed PBUH to negate the evil rituals. He was born as an orphan. His father passed away before his birth, but he was considered a very lucky child wherever he goes he brings good fortune to the family. Allah had given him 4 daughters while his sons passed away in infancy. His love and care for all his daughters especially the beloved Bibi Fatima Zohra Rz is well known. After the demise of his last son, arab leaders taunted and made fun of  Prophet Muhammed PBUH that he will not have any one to carry his name further and he has no descendants (“abtar”). In response to these taunts, Allah had revealed Surah Kausar where Allah had said that the enemies of Prophet SAW will in fact be devoid of descendants. Although Prophet did not have any male descendants but True to His word, the name of Prophet Muhammed SAW resonates 5 times a day from sun rise to sun set in Azaan (the call for prayers).  This is unique privilege Allah has granted Prophet Muhammed AS. Countering the False Allegations:
  • Prophet Muhammed AS had heard stories of Bible and Old Testament and wrote Quran as new book: [FALSE]
    • Prophet Muhammed AS was “Ummi”, a person who can’t read or write. There is no question of him hearing the stories and write a new book based on them.
    • If Quran was his book, he would have given more importance to his own ancestors (Ishmael AS) rather than the progeny of Isaac AS.  There are chapters dedicated to Bibi Maryum AS & her son Isa AS, Progeny of Imran AS, Yusuf AS etc.
    • Moreover, Quran is not merely stories, it has rules, laws and guidance to lead life the right way.
  • Prophet Muhammed AS married a child [FALSE]
    • Islam does not objectify women. Hence marriage is considered sacred.
    • At the age of 25, Prophet Muhammed AS married Bibi Khatija SA who was 40 yrs of age.
    • All of his children (except one) were born out of Bibi Khatija SA.
    • Till the demise of Bibi Khatija SA , he did not had any other wife.
    • Other wives he had were mostly divorcees, widows, etc.
    • Bibi Ayesha AS was very young at the time when she was married. She did not had any children of our own.
    • Marriages are destined by God not by humans. When Prophet Muhammed AS was taunted, harassed abused by people, he needed someone for comfort and moral support. Hence, Allah has given him a very strong and mature spouse in form of Bibi Khatija SA.
    • When Prophet AS needed to pass on his Ahadees, Holy Verses and religion doctrine, Allah had given him spouse in form of Bibi Ayesha SA.
    • The largest collection of Ahadees of Prophet Muhammed AS had been narrated by Bibi Ayesha SA.
    • Moreover, issues like Intimate relationships, childbirth, menstruation, impotency etc. had been considered taboo even in modern times.
    • Questions and concerns in relation to this are embarrassing to discuss with any man let alone the Messenger of God.
    • Hence a young girl, Bibi Ayesha SA was used by Allah to narrate Ahadees related to these human issues.
    • Both women Bibi Khatija SA and Bibi Ayesha SA were his source of support at different stages of life.
    • Allah had used both these partners of Prophet AS for different purposes.
