  2. Bell-Ringer: • What do you know of Islam?

  3. Main Idea • In the harsh desert climate of Arabia, Muhammad, a merchant from Mecca, introduced a major world religion called Islam.

  4. Desert Land: Arabia • The Arabian Peninsula lies near the intersection of Africa, Asia, and Europe. • Arabia lies in a region with hot, dry air. • The climate has created a band of deserts across Arabia and northern Africa. • The desert has limited water, which is located mainly in oases. An oasis is a wet, fertile area in a desert.

  5. Two ways of life • In a nomadic life, people moved from place to place within tribes for protection and as the seasons changed. • Sedentary people settled in oases, where they could farm. These settlements often became towns. • Towns became centers of trade. Many had a market or bazaar where goods were traded.

  6. Islam, a new religion • A man named Muhammad taught a new religion to the people of Arabia. • Muslims believe that God spoke to Muhammad through an angel and made him a prophet. • The messages he received were the basis for Islam and were collected in the holy book of Islam called the Qur’an.

  7. Muhammad’s Teachings • Muhammad taught that there is only one God, Allah, which means “the God” in Arabic. This is similar to Christianity and Judaism. • Muhammad’s teachings were new to Arabs, who worshipped many gods. This teaching upset some people. • Muhammad said the rich and poor should be equal. Many wealthy merchants did not like this idea.

  8. Islam spreads Islam spread from Mecca to Medina. • Rulers of Mecca began to threaten Muhammad with violence as Islam started to influence more people. • Muhammad left Mecca and went to Medina. • This departure became known in Muslim history as the hegira, or journey. • Islam thrived in Medina, and other Arab tribes in the region accepted Islam.

  9. Islam spreads from Medina to the rest of Arabia • Muhammad’s house became the first mosque, or building for Muslim prayer. • Muslim communities in Medina grew stronger, and other Arab tribes accepted Islam. • Mecca finally accepted Islam as its religion in 630.
