Islam began with God. Allah means "the God". He is the one and only, no one can compare. Muhammad was His prophet. He was born into an ignorant chaotic world, where there was lots of corruption (his view). "The times call for a deliverer". He was pure hearted and beloved, with a good character. He married a women 15 years his senior, her name was Khadija. When he was up contemplating in a cave an angel can to him. The angel told him to "proclaim". He went to his wife, who was convinced that he had become a prophet. He began to preach about God. He said he was only a preacher of God's word, God's message.
Muhammad's preaching, views, created great hostility. People began to attack and ridicule him. Eventually people openly persecuted him. At first he gained few followers, however, slowly he gained many more followers.
Muhammad received a sign from God and he led his people to Yathrib (which turned into Medina). From the time he arrived in Medina he assumed a leadership role. He unified people throughout the rest of his life.
He died in 632 A.D. he died with almost all of Arabia under is control.
