Muhammad was born in Makkah, with his father already dead. Following customs, his mother sent him away to live with nomads for a few years. Sadly, his mother died soon after he came home, making him an orphan. His uncle took him in, and after accompanying his uncle on trading trips, he became a trader.

Some of his followers were tortured, but the Muslims didn’t give up. As the number of Muslims grew, the Makkans started to boycott, and refused to do any business with the Hashim clan, Muhammad’s clan. This took a toll on many people in Muhammad’s clan, resulThe year Muhammad’s family died, he went on the Night Journey. This was a winged horse taking him to Jerusalem.
Muhammad went to Madinah, because he was getting protection there. Over here, he made a Muslim community, and had everyone respect Christians and Jews. Like Muslims, they were known as People of the Book. The Makkans and Muslims fought many battles against each other. After everything settled down, Muhammad led his final pilgrimage, and in Makkah, he delivered the Last Sermon, and died soon after.
After Muhammad’s death, Arabia was succeeded by 4 “rightly guided” people, also known as the 4 caliphs. Over the course of 100 years, the 4 caliphs expanded the empire, and spread Islam from Spain to India. There were sometimes disagreements, and the Muslims and the Umayyads started a civil war when Ali became 4th caliph. After Ali was murdered, the leader of Umayyad clan claimed the caliphate and started a dynasty, which eventually lead to a split between the Sunnis and the Shi’a. During the reign of the dynasty, Arabic language and acceptance of Islam unified the

The specific poster that I wish to discuss is located on page 503 in our textbook. It is titled, “Gee!! I Wish I Were a Man. I’d Join the Navy.” This poster is clearly meant entice American citizens, specifically men to join the navy and help in war efforts. The main focal point is the woman who is wearing a navy sailor’s dress blues uniform. She has the rank of Petty Officer First Class on her shoulder. Just by viewing the context of what this woman (Bernice Smith) said, it’s apparent that women were not allowed to join the armed forces at the time. Propaganda was great tool in order to recruit people to join the military. The- main point of this poster in my opinion is to say that even women who aren’t allowed to join want to join. These
Many blamed Ali for the death of Uthman and as a result caused conflicts within the Muslim people. Ali wins his first battle against an army fighting in support of Muhammad’s widow, A’isha in 656, but his success quickly comes to an end. People started to loose faith in Ali, which allowed for the rise in power of Muawiya, the son of Abu Sufyan, the leader of the Abd Shams clan. The majority of the members of Abd Shams had rejected Muhammad, which of course was not to Ali’s advantage. Many people abandoned Ali, and they became known as Kharijites. Eventually, one of the Kharijite’s killed Ali. After Ali’s death in 661 the expansion of Islam started to decrease.
As Muhammad got older, he became known as a very trust-worthy, noble and kind man. When Muhammad was twenty-five years old, he became a trading agent for a wealthy, noble lady by the name of Khadija. Khadija was so

In 570, Muhammad was born into the culture of Arabic poetry, in Mecca. When he was a baby, he was sent to live with a nomad family in the desert, but his mother died soon after his return, leaving him an orphan, as his father was already dead. He was sent to live with his grandfather, but was eventually raised by his uncle, upon his grandfather’s death. His uncle took him on many trading journeys, where Muhammad was first exposed to places outside of the Arabian deserts. He gained a reputation for being honest, and carried on with more trading journeys. He got married at the age of 25, when a widow named Khadijah proposed to him, since she was impressed by how he was managing her caravans.
The Muslim prophet, Muhammad, was born in 570 in the city of Mecca. Muhammad lived a normal life just like any Muslim, until he began seeing visions believed to be inspired by Allah. Muhammad believed that since Allah has already revealed himself to Moses and Jesus, it was now his turn to receive the final revelations. After receiving them, Muhammad tried to convince his people that the revelations were true, but most thought he was insane and crazy, or that he would upset the social and political order of society. As a result, Muhammad and some of his followers left to the rival city of Yathrib in 622. Yathrib was later renamed Medina, which meant “city of prophet”, as he began to win support from the residents in Medina and on the surrounding country side. With these people, Muhammad formed the first Muslim community.
Muhammad’s birth took place around 570 C.E. in Makkah. where at very young age when his dad died and his mom (from a poorer clan) gave him to a nomad family. He soon returned to his hometown and spent a very little time with his mom. His mom died when he was about five or six and he became an orphan and was taken in by his grandpa. Soon he became a trader and slowly as he grew up made more trading journeys where he meet Khadija (the widow) and she proposed. And he accepted and shortly after their marriage they had children.
Muhammad a prophet for our time is written by Karen Armstrong. This book is like a diary that tells the life of Muhammad and how he played a big role in the Islamic religion. Muhammad was born in the year 570 ce and died in 623 ce. Muhammad was a man who did not have much going for him, he couldn’t read and lived in a cave with his wife at the time. When Muhammad was reached down upon by Allah he did not know what was happening and why it was happening. “ he knew that some people expected the imminent arrival of an Arab prophet, but it never occurred to him that he would be the one entrusted with the mission.” (p.10). Muhammad was 40 years old when this happened and he lived in Mecca. Mecca at the time had many different civilizations and was a big trading center. Arabs at the time did not like this and kept moving from places to place to get something stable. Some of the Arabs even had settled in urban areas around Mecca. Society in Mecca was based on laws and traditions that even though Allah is the main god
Muslims believe God sent messages to Mohammed, through the angel Gabriel over a 22-year period, beginning in 610 C.E. The Revelation of the Quran to the Prophet Mohammed is said to have taken place while he was in meditative retreat in Saudi Arabia.
Muhammad’s strong denunciation of idolatry in Mecca earned him rejection and a great deal of persecution by his own people. Some of his followers fled to Abyssinia in Africa at the advice of the prophet. The death of Muhammad’s uncle, who protected him from youth, left him vulnerable and unsafe in Mecca. He fled to Medina where he had established a good relationship with the citizens. They welcomed him. This made Muhammad rise to a great level of influence not just as a prophet but also politically.
Muhammad, who is believed to be a prophet of God, is considered the last prophet sent by god to the Muslim people. Muhammad is believed to have brought the word of God through the Qur’an. The Prophets’ life started in Mecca where he grew up orphaned. During his life, specifically in the month of Ramadan, he would spend time in a cave outside Mecca where he originally received revelations about the sacred text. Originally Muhammad found little success preaching God’s word but eventually gained a following of Muslim people, which would turn into the tradition it is today.
