Prophet Muhammad
Object Pronoun = The Arab People
The Arab people, were invited by Muhammad to accept Islam. Some responded
favorably, but most of them rejected Islam. They also turned against him. In 622 A.D.
Muhammad migrated to Madina. It was in the 12th year of his prophet hood. In
Medina he was accepted as a leader of an Islamic state. There he established the
foundations of the relation among Moslem people and between Moslem and non-
Moslem people in general.
The Islamic calendar begins from the time of migration. Migration in Arabic is “Hijrah”.
In Mecca he tried to established belief in One God among Arabic people. In Medina he
tried to established a social life among many different people. Muhammad continued
to preach Islam in Medina. He worked with unmatched patience and great wisdom.
A short time after his death the message of Islam spread to most parts of the world.
Islam contributes to world history. It also contributes to civilization and scientific
development. Today, about 1,000 million Muslims all over the world accept Islam.
