The Life and teachings of Muhammad

Muhammad was born in Makkah, but then sent to be raised in the desert until he was five years old he was sent back to be raised by his grandfather. For fifteen years Muhammad worked as a merchant, until, he went into a mountain to pray and he received the call to be a prophet. From then on he taught things like; people must worship one God, that all believers in God were equal, and rich should share their wealth. For the rest of Muhammad's life the angel Gabriel called upon Muhammad because he was the messanger of God.

the significance of the Qur'an as the primary source of Islamic belief

The significance of the Qur'an as the primary source of Islamic belief was that it contains what Allah told to Muhammad. It is also the sacred text that Islamic people live their lives by and worship.

Arabia before Muhammad

Before Muhammad was born, Arabian society was divided into many social classes. There were the wealthy families that came to Mecca to rule the city, they did not share their wealth with the poorer families or clans. The Arabians also cherished women. They would go to battle with other tribes, just to protect the women in their tribe.
Before Muhammad Mecca was not a religous center. Strong Religon was brought to Mecca when Muhammad became the prophet. Before religon Mecca was run by trade. They mainly traded between South Arabia, South Asia and East Africa.

Desert

This is a picture of an Arabian Desert. It has vast sand that spreads for miles. Since there are little to no trees many sandstorms occur. Deserts also have very little water so the desert and the area around the desert get very little water per year.


This picture shows a desert. i chose this picture because its shows that the Arabian deserts are barren, but do have life from the little rain that they get. This picture also shows a plateau which are common in the Arabian deserts.

This is a picture of a cactus in the Arabian desert. This was an adaptation of the Arabians because with little water the Arabians had to find another source of water. Since cactus's store a lot of water in them, the Arabians would break the cactus's to get to the water.

Arabian clothing was a big adaptation in the desert because since the desert is hot and there is little to no shade people would have to cover up a lot and wear light layers so they do not over heat but stay protected from the sun
