Dear Friend, I have traveled to Makkah and Madinah for business, and have met a man named Muhammad as well as his followers. Muhammad and his followers believe in a religion called Islam, which Muhammad teaches about. Muhammad is a teacher of the faith and religion of Islam. He was born in 570 C.E. in this city, Makkah in Arabia.
In 610 CE A man named Muhammad was outside of a cave meditating and soon began hearing voices. As he listened he heard them say “Give birth to a religion called Islam.” Islam began to spread faster than any other religion. Other religions disagreed with this because they didn’t want to believe that Islam was bigger and better than their religion. After about 140 years, many followers of Islam had created an empire that ruled the Middle East and spread across to North Africa to Europe.
The Islamic empire was a dominant force for about 600 years, they were so dominant that even today we see many examples of their impact on the world now. They conquered territory which spread from Spain through east Asia. They faced many geographical barriers due to their unique location such as the terrain of the Arabian peninsula but they dealt with this adversity. The Islamic Empires' geographic extent, contributions and ideas in all fields, and influence on different regions led them to have a lasting impact on the world.
Islam is a religion that was established by a man named Muhammed and means ‘submission.’ As sources say, an angel approached Muhammad while he was meditating in a cave; and told him about the word of Allah, the only God. After Islam was born, and the word of the angel was the beginning of the Qur’an. Islam was established as a monotheistic religion, as Muslims would only believe in one God, and was first preached by Muhammad. Islam grew, and eventually, the first Muslim community was developed in Medina, a city in Saudi Arabia.
Muhammad had a strange visit to the caves by mount Hira. He came back and reported the news to his family saying that Gabriel told him that Allah was one God, and that he was sent from God to give him this message. In 610 CE, in Mecca (Arabia), Islam spread quickly because of the impact the trade routes had on them, the importance of the Qur’an, and the five pillars. To begin with, the trade routes played a very important role in the spreading of Islam. In the middle of the sixth century, Mecca was prosperous and important.

Muhammad, the final messenger of God, and his followers spread the message of Allah to the Arabs in the Arabian Peninsula in 610 CE. Surprisingly, Muhammad was pretty popular and his word, Islam, spread rather quickly because of Trade routes in the peninsula, the Muslims military conquest, and treaties and toleration. Out of all of those three main reasons why Islam spread fast, Treaties and Taxation was the most important. The treaties and toleration that the Muslims assembled were the main reason why people either stayed in the Islam religion and others transferred and started practicing Islam.

For Muslims, Muhammad is the last prophet and Abraham is the patriarch of the Qur’an, Bible and Torah. Islam is followed by over a billion people and Muslims make up approximately one quarter of the world’s population. Islam spread quickly during the 600’s trade, choice, and conquest.
The Islam religion, believed by Muslims, has spread across the globe at rapid speeds. Muhammad ibn Abdullah started the religion. The religion began in Mecca. The religion was made known in 610 CE. The two major themes of the religion are “Allah is the one God” and the importance of charity.
Mansa Musa helped Islam spread by leaving to pilgrimage and introduced the empire to the Islamic World. He encouraged learning to read the Arabic language to read the Qur’an. He hired architects to build mosques as well. Another example is the Songhai empire. Songhai leaders were Muslims as well.
Why did Islam spread so fast? In 610 CE A man named Muhammad was outside of a cave meditating and soon began hearing voices. As he listened he heard them say “Give birth to a religion called Islam.” Islam began to spread faster than any other religion.
