i'm sorry Fatima, but maybe you should read up on your own religion, because these so called non-Muslims know more about it than you!

mohammed was NOT educated, he was illiterate. and while he was a member of a powerful tribe he was no well respected till AFTER his mariiage to Khadiga. also, he was not from a powerful family - his father died before he was born and his mother died when he was a child (he was pretty much an orphan, which made him a vulnerable not powerful person)
