Muhammad was born in 570 A.D. in Saudi Arabia.
Muhammad was kind and his nickname was
the “truthful one”. He was orphaned and his
uncle raised him.
Muhammad then became a successful
merchant and married a wealthy widow.
However, he felt as if some part of his life was missing.
So he went on a retreat…
Muhammad went to
Mount Hira to pray in
a small cave. He knew
about Judaism and
Christianity and
wanted a deeper
meaning for himself.
Muhammad was upset about the cruelty of his
people:
• The way they killed baby girls to control the
number of women.
• The mistreatment of the slaves.
Muhammad had a very strong sense of right and
wrong and wanted change. He had no idea that his
prayers would lead to a new religion.
Islam began in 610 A.D.
When Muhammad claimed that the Archangel
Gabriel appeared in the cave.
The Crescent
Star of Islam
Archangel
Gabriel
• Archangel Gabriel is an angel who is thought to serve
as a messenger from God.
• He exists in multiple religions, including Christianity,
Judaism, and Islam.
•In Islam, he is the medium through which God
revealed the Koran to Muhammad.
Archangel
Gabriel
The Koran is the holy book
of Islam.
It contains the messages
from the Archangel
from the past 22 years.
•Prior to moving to Medina, people moved in Mecca.
•Mecca had 360
shrines to different
gods.
People didn’t like the
idea of just one god.
They thought that
more gods gave them
a better chance of
getting answers to
their prayers, so they
became outcasts.
•They moved to Medina in 622 A.D.
•Medina became the center of
Islamic civilization.
Mecca
•By the time Muhammad died, he had united many
people in the Arabian Peninsula.
•It is said that Muhammad met Archangel Gabriel
again at the end of his life.
•The angel led the prophet to a mysterious animal called
a burag.
•This event is called the Night Journey. Muslims all
over the world celebrate this event.
Depicted in the picture in
the right is Muhammad

on the burag, which
appears to have a human
face, angel wings, and a
horse’s body.

• Muslims believe in the
Five Pillars of Islam.
Muslims must do these five
things:
• The first, Shahadah, is a
declaration of faith.
• The second pillar, Salaat,
means that Muslims must
pray five times a day.
• Zakaat, the third pillar,
means to give to the poor.
• Muslims fast during the
month of Ramadan.
• The last pillar is Haj, a
pilgrimage to Mecca.
All Muslims want to go to Mecca
(birthplace of Muhammad).

Mecca to

Ka’bah, or
Kaaba, is a
small brick

Muslims say their prayers in mosques, but
some carry a prayer rug to pray anywhere.
