Muhammad
|
Muhammad was born into a powerful Meccan family around A.D. 570. He was orphaned as a child and had to work in the caravan trade. At age 25, he married a wealthy businesswoman. Muhammad prospered as a merchant. At about the age of 40, his life abruptly changed. One day while praying, he heard a voice say "You are the messenger of God". He believed that God spoke to him through the angel Gabriel. He then began preaching that there was only one God (Allah) and that all other gods must be rejected. People who believed in this basic principle of Islam were called Muslims.
