  5. The Origins of Islam • Origins of Islam can be traced back to 7th century Arabia • The Prophet Muhammad introduced Islam in 610 C.E. after he experienced “angelic visitations.” • Revelations which followers believe “Allah” transmitted to him through the angel Gabriel.

  6. Qur’an • These revelations were written in Arabic and collected in the Qur’an (Koran). • Qur’an according to Islam, is the holy book and the prefect words of Allah. • Qur’an dictated by Muhammad, but did not originate with Muhammad- instead was given by God to the angel Gabriel, then to Muhammad • 114 Chapters (chapter = Surah) • The teachings of the Qur’an formed the basis of the new religion that Muhammad began to preach to his clan and the people of Mecca.

  7. Initially Accepted? • Only in small circles. • Umayyad notables (clan of Quraysh Bedouin tribe who founded Mecca) start to notice the spread of Islam. • Do not like the growing religion because it threatens to undermine the gods of the Ka’Ba • Why does this matter so much? The Shrines of Ka’Ba have established Mecca as the wealthy city of commerce between the Bedouin tribes.

  8. Muhammad flees… • Pressure put on by the Umayyad causes Muhammad to flee Mecca to Medina. • Muhammad’s presence in Medina and spread of the Islamic faith strengthens Medina and worries Umayyad in Mecca • Treaty with Umayyad/Quraysh in 628 CE, that allows Muhammad to return to Mecca where he gradually wins over the inhabitants of Mecca to Islam.

  9. Appeal of Islam to People of Arabia • Gave them a form of monotheism that belonged to no single tribe and transcended clan and class divisions. • Provided an ethical system that healed many of the deep social rifts between the clans of Arabian society • Promoted a moral code and obligation for the wealthy and strong to protect and aid the poor and weak. • Was translated into a body of Islamic law that held followers accountable for their lives on earth and determined their fate in eternity.

  10. The 'Five Pillars' of Islam • The framework for Muslim life. Essential practices • 1. The declaration of faith: • "There is no deity but God, and Muhammad is the messenger of God." • 2. Prayer: • Five obligatory prayers each day. • A direct link between the worshiper and God. • No hierarchical authority or priesthood. • 3. Zakat: • Obligatory charitable giving. • Wealth belong to God and it is held in trust by humans. • Zakat, or, "purification" by setting aside a portion (2.5%) for the needy. • 4. Fasting: • From sunrise to sunset during the holy month of Ramadan. • 5. Pilgrimage/Hajj • A pilgrimage (Hajj) to Mecca, Arabia to worship Allah at the Ka’Ba.
