Great Religious Leaders: Muhammad And Islam

Muhammad was born in the seventh century in Makkah, which is in present-day Saudi Arabia. When he was about 40 he started to have revelations from the One God, Allah. At first he was unsure if they were messages from God, but once he could no longer doubt them he started to talk in public about Allah's message. Gradually, people realised he was a prophet and started to follow his teaching and became Muslims.

This book tells you about the life of Muhammad, who he was and what he did. It explains his revelations from Allah, what he taught his followers about the Muslim holy book, the Qur'an. There is also information about sacred places, festivals and how Muhammad's teaching is as important today as it was hundreds of years ago.
