Early Islamic History Details
Early Islam - Born in Mecca,
Muhammad is the founder of Islam, which has profound influence on Africa,
India, western Asia and Europe. He is considered by Muslims to be God's
last and greatest prophet. The Koran (Qur'an), 114 chapters of Muhammad's
divinely inspired revelations, is the Islamic scripture, which resembles
Judaism and Christianity -- two religions that largely influence Muhammad.
These three religions are the world's only monotheistic faiths.
610 CE: Early Islam - Originally
adhering to a polytheistic notion of the divine, Muhammad has a religious
experience that changes not only his life, but the history of a large part
of the world. He hears a divine voice, later believed to be the angel
Gabriel of the Christian religion, tell him that Allah is the only god.
He receives further instructions to adopt the name of "Prophet" and
convert the Quaraish to accept the monotheism.622 CE: Early Islam - The Quaraishs resist the new religion. Muhammad and his small band of followers migrate to the town of Yathrib in the north, which is open to his new faith. The Hijrah of 622, the migration, marks the beginning of the Muslim era. After making himself ruler, Muhammad changes the name of the town to Medina ("city of the Prophet"), and Medina becomes the seat of the caliphate.
