The Origins of Islam
Muhammad was born in 570 CE in the city of Makkah, which is now
known as Mecca. His parents died when he was young, so he was looked
after by other members of his family. Later in his life, he became a camel
driver or shepherd. Makkah was a bustling and noisy city so Muhammad
often escaped to the caves in nearby hills to think and pray in peace and
quiet.
It was there in 610 CE that Muhammad heard the voice of an angel who
told him the words of Allah. Muhammad was told he was the last prophet
in a series of prophets which included Moses and Jesus. A prophet is
someone who speaks for God. These words were written down in the
Qur’an or Koran the Muslim Holy book. The Qur’an is the holy text for the
Muslim community, but it also tells people how to live ethical and moral
lives.
Muhammad spent the rest of his life preaching the holy words of Allah in
Mecca, and telling residents not to worship other gods. Muhammad and his
followers were monotheistic, and were often persecuted by other local
communities. In 622 CE Muhammad took his followers and moved to
Medina. He started the first completely Muslim community there and began
the Muslim calendar.
Muhammad died in 632 CE but the religion of Islam continues today.
