The prophets job were to spread word of the religion across the land.
Muhammad
Muhammad was one of the prophets of the Islamic Religion. He was the last of the prophets and most people believe that he was the greatest. What he did was one day while he was meditating he had a revelation that he was going to be a prophet and the teacher of the new belief, Islam. When he had his revelation he began by telling the people of Mecca. Some of the people believed him while others prosecuted him. He fled to Medina so his prosecutors couldn't catch him. When he was in Medina he raised an army and went back to Mecca to convert all the people who weren't yet Islam. He did it without blood shed and slowly his word kept on spreading.
