on the Arabian Peninsula where many
merchants had become wealthy. Makkah was
also a religious center, and pilgrims from all
over Arabia came to worship at the Kabah.

2. The Kabah was built by Abraham, for
God, centuries before Muhammads birth.
In Muhammads time, most Arabs were
polytheists and the Kabah housed statues
of many different gods.
3. Though there was no central government
uniting Arabs during this time, they shared
ties of culture, particularly language.

2. Few people noticed Muhammads birth. His
family was not very wealthy, and his mother sent
him to live with a family of nomads in the desert.
He later returned to the city and his mother,
before becoming an orphan. In time,
Muhammad became a trader who was known for
his honesty. When he was 25, a widow named
Khadijah proposed marriage. She and
Muhammad had several children, including a
daughter named Fatima.

God.

contains the messages from God that
Muhammad received from Gabriel.

Section 5
2. Muhammad taught that people must worship one God,
that all believers in God were equal, and that the rich
should share their wealth with the poor. He urged
Makkans to take care of orphans and the poor, and to
improve the status of women.
3. Makkahs leaders did not want to share their wealth, and
they feared that if Muhammad became too powerful he
would seize political power.
4. Jerusalem is the site of Muhammads Night Journey
where he met and prayed with earlier prophets, such as
Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, before being guided
through the seven levels of heaven and meeting God
(Allah).

control by the time Muhammad died. After
his death, later caliphs unified Arabia and
expanded Islamic territory across the
Middle East and North Africa. The fourth

After his death, Sunnis and Shiah split in
a dispute over who should be the next
caliph.
