  1. Rise of Islam Bedouins emphasized ideals of courage and loyalty, which end up funding the background of Islam Trading throughout the Arabian peninsula along the GSR pass along ideas Mecca- city where religious pilgrims travel to worship Allah at the Ka’aba

  2. The Prophet • Muhammad born into powerful Meccan family, but abandoned and raised by his uncle and grandfather • At 40 years old, Muhammad hears the voice of Gabriel outside, and begins to believe that he’s the last of the prophets • Some Arabs find Muhammad’s revolutionary teachings neglectful toward the polytheistic gods worshipped at the Ka’aba • Muhammad and some of his followers migrated to Yathrib (Hijrah). Yathrib is now called Medina

  3. While in Medina, Muhammad rises to political and religious prominence • Muhammad and his 10,000+ followers march back to Mecca and destroy the Ka’aba. This solidifies Muhammad and Islam even though he dies two years later

  4. Practice of Islam • Main teaching is that there is only one God Allah • Five Pillars • Faith- “there is no God but Allah” • Prayer- five times a day, Muslims pray in the direction of Mecca. They may meet at a mosque, or wherever they are • Alms- giving money to the poor through a special religious tax • Fasting- during Ramada, Muslims fast between dawn and sunset • Pilgrimage- all who are financially and physically able need to perform the hajj at least once • In addition to the five pillars, Muslims are forbidden to eat pork or drink intoxicating drinks. Friday afternoons are designated for worship.

  5. Ulamaare a class of religious scholars who apply the teachings of Muhammad to life • After the death of the prophet Muhammad, his revelations are recorded in the Qur’an • Muslims find that Muhammad’s example (sunna) is the model for living • Shari’ais a system of law that regulates the family life, moral conduct, and business and community life

  6. Links to Judaism and Christianity • Muslims find Jesus as a prophet, not the Son of God • Believe in the Qur’an as the holy book as Christians and Jews believe in the Torah and Gospels • All three believe in heaven and hell • All three trace ancestry back to Abraham
