Origins of Islam
  • The Prophet Muhammad was an Arab born in 570 CE,
    in Mecca, which is in present-day Saudi Arabia.
    He was a merchant known as al-Amin, the
    trustworthy one.
  • According to Islamic tradition, in 610 CE, while
    he was praying in a cave, he had a vision of the
    angle Gabriel, a figure in the Hebrew Bible.
  • The angle gave him messages from God, called
    Allah in Arabic.

  • Muhammad taught that Abraham, Moses, and Jesus
    were each prophets, but that Jews and Christians
    had misunderstood their teachings.
  • Many of the poor who heard Muhammads message
    accepted it because he called for social justice
    and equality.
  • A great number of powerful leaders and rich
    merchants, however, rejected Muhammad's
    message.
  • They saw him has a threat to their economic
    security.

6
  • Before 700 CE, Muhammads followers were fighting
    over his successor.
  • The fight split Muslims into the Shia and the
    Sunni.
  • The Shia comprise 10 - 15 of Islamic followers
    today and Sunni comprise close to 90.
  • Sunni Orthodox Muslim who accepts the
    traditional teachings of the Koran and the
    authority of the descendants of Caliph Ali.
  • They believe that the Caliph (leader of Islam)
    does not have to be a blood relative of
    Muhammad.
  • Shia (Shiite) A Muslim who rejects the
    authority of the religious leaders
    who succeeded Muhammads
    son-in-law Ali the Caliph must be
    a blood relative.

Quran
  • Muhammads followers memorized his messages and
    his words and deeds.
  • After his death, Muhammads followers collected
    his teachings and wrote them down in a book
    called the Quran.
  • What are the holy books of the other two major
    religions?

Beliefs
  • The central teaching of Islam is that there is
    only one god named Allah and that Muhammad is his
    prophet. (What is a prophet?)
  • Islam teaches that the world has a definite
    beginning and will end one day and on that final
    day God will judge all people.
  • Muslims believe that the people who have obeyed
    orders will live a life in paradise, which is a
    place full of fine food and drink.
  • People who have not obeyed will suffer.

    written record of Muhammads words and actions.
  • The hadith is also the basis of the Sunnah.

    which provides a model for the duties and the way
    of life expected of Muslims.

    for how Muslims live.

    actions. All of these actions fall on a scale
    ranging from required to forbidden.
