IslamHistorical factsWhere and how does this perspective of faith originate?Islam began with Abraham, who gave birth to two sons: Ishmael and Isaac. Ishmael and his mother, Hagar, are forced to leave Abraham, and Ishmael's descendants develop into the Arab people. The origins of Islam are found in Arabia, specifically in the sacred area of ​​Mecca, where a meteorite was heard falling from the sky, and sacred rituals and events that occurred afterward developed around the stone. The story states that Abraham built the Ka'ba and set the stone when he went to visit his son. Another shrine is the Zamzam, a sacred well, which appeared when Ishmael was dying of thirst and began kicking the ground, and a well appeared. Ishmael is considered the founder of Mecca, a holy city and the center of worship for Arab pilgrims. Founder and Followers: The founder of Islam is Muhammad, also known as the Messenger of God. He was born in 571 AD, the son of only one mother, as his father had died and his mother would die when he was six years old. As a result he was raised by his grandfather and uncle, growing up in poverty. Muhammad continually questioned the religious beliefs of Mecca, and when he married Khadija she encouraged his religious pursuits. It explored the Jewish and Christian belief in a final judgment and punishment of idolaters by eternal fire. Muhammad was visited by God and explained that Muhammad was a Messenger/Prophet of God. Muhammad often went into trance and uttered verses, and traveled to Mecca to preach the word of God to the people of Mecca. However, many ridiculed him, but continued to return to hear Muhammad speak. After ten years, Muhammad only a few followers, Khadija, Zaid and Abu Bakr, and others enlisted, in total... mid-paper... ate the fate in paradise, which will be decided on the Day of Judgment. .Ritual Training: The Islamic faith consists of many daily, weekly, yearly, and lifelong rituals. Muslims set aside time each day for five acts of devotion and prayer during: dawn, midday, mid-afternoon, dusk and darkness. This prayer involves spreading a prayer mat, bowing to Mecca, and offering praises and promises to Allah. Then on Friday the men have a special day of public prayer. Muslims give information to the poor, needy, debtors, slaves and beggars. They fast during the month of Ramadan, not eating or drinking from dawn to dusk. Once in a lifetime they must make a pilgrimage to Mecca, during the holy month of Dhu-al-Hijja. This pilgrimage includes seven times circling the Ka'ba, seven trips between Safa and Marwa, the journey of Arafat and the sacrifice (feast and miserable offering).
