In the year 610, Muhammad, a successful merchant, reported hearing voices that recited passages to him, which he later recognized as revelations from God. Muhammad shared these revelations with his wife and close friends, gradually attracting a small group of followers from his hometown of Mecca. This led to the formation of a new religion known as Islam.

However, Muhammad’s popularity and his declaration of the existence of only one God threatened powerful individuals in Mecca, leading to opposition against him. In 622, Muhammad and his followers migrated to Medina, where they built a community centered around a mosque.

Muhammad taught his followers to worship the one God, live simple lives based on their religious beliefs, and assist those in need. His following grew rapidly, allowing him to eventually return to Mecca and conquer the city. As a result, the people of the surrounding areas embraced Islam, and rulers and tribes from other parts of the Arabian Peninsula gradually accepted the religion.

Islam served as a unifying force for the Arab community, promoting justice in society and equitable distribution of wealth. Muhammad was widely accepted as the final Prophet of God, and Mecca became the center of the Muslim world. By the time of his death, Muhammad had become the leader of most of the Arabian Peninsula.
