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.
In 622 CE, Muhammad decided to leave because everyone was against his preaching. After his death in 632 CE, Muhammad’s words from Allah were written down in a book called Qur’an. “Only the Arabic Qur’an expresses without the fault the word of God” (World religion). That’s why the Qur’an can’t be translated, it can only be paraphrase. Muslims doesn’t follow the bible because it’s translated and it isn’t the exact words from God/Allah.
Q1c) Muhammad led the Muslims to proclaim God as Allah. Allah was known as the one true God. Q1d) In the beginning Muhammad’s contemporaries refused to hear his message due to several reasons.
A powerful religion was born inside of a Cave in Mecca. Where a faithful, respectable man named Muhammad, received the word of God. A message that changed the world we live in today. This event that occurred on 610 CE was the starting point of Islam. Islam spread in a very fast way, and in not much time the word of Allah, which is the Arabic term for God, had gotten to many places around the globe.
D. with astonishing similarities to Christianity. Muslims believe that Muhammad was called by Allah (God) to be a messenger of his words, much like the figures of Jesus and Abraham. Islamic culture uses the Qur 'an as Christians and Jews use the Bible and Torah. The literature, architecture, philosophy, artworks, and music that derived from these religions through their civilizations richly reflect the teachings and tradition behind these spiritual views of the world (Sayre). The three major books, the Hebrew Bible, the Christian Bible, and the Qur’an, all contain scripture recorded by followers inspired by
The Islamic religion was created by the prophet Muhammad and his revelations from Allah. He gained many followers because his teachings appealed to many different people. Islam continued to grow throughout many regions, uniting people and cultures. Because their geography was set in the midst of Eurasia, it gave them the ability conquer and spread ideas quickly. Muslims had a large tolerance of other cultures and they were able to advance scholarship to the highest level of that time.
Islam developed and changed over time because of how Islam founded the prophet Muhammad in the 7th century. The two most important foundations of Islam is the Qur’an and the Sunnah. The Qur’an describes God’s moral teachings and the Sunnah is the example that Muhammad set throughout his lifetime. The Muslims that followed the Qur’an and Sunnah were allowed to follow the Five Pillars of Islam. The Muslims started to have expanded leaders that came across new situations that the Islamic Law had influenced.
Muhammad repeated what the angel told him to repeat and those words are the first verses of the Qur 'an. Following this revelation, Muhammad began enlightening and teaching others in Mecca about morality, social justice, and the Day of Judgement. In many cases, his preaching were not accepted by the others. One challenged faced by the early umma in Medina was conflict with Quraysh tribe.
Islam developed over time and changed over time due to many reasons. Islam started of when Muhammad received the message of God from the angel Gabriel and spread it as God’s prophet. From there the Qur’an the holy book of Islam was developed. The Qur’an is a huge part of Islam and contained God’s final revelations, and helped guide Muslims.

The Islamic faith holds six key beliefs, many of which are concerned with Allah as “Muslims believe that all the laws that govern the universe belong to Allah, and that he controls the destiny of all things” (Illustrated Encyclopaedia of World Religions).
