The September, 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon have brought to the surface a lot of ignorant beliefs and stereotypes about Islam. More than ever it is time for all of us to educate ourselves on the second largest religion in the world.

Origins of Islam

Prophet Muhammad born on the Arabian Peninsula about 570 CE in the city of Makkah Makkah was the site of an important house of worship called the Kabah, which the Arabs associated with the Prophet Kabah, Abraham (Ibrahm) and his son Ishmael (Ismail) (Ibrahm) From 610 to 622 CE, Muhammad received revelations from Allah and he transmitted them to his followers in Arabic. The words were written down and in to the Quran Muslims believe it to be the direct word of God

Origins of Islam

During centuries following the rise of Islam and the expansion of the Muslim state, spread across parts of Africa, Europe and Asia. Between 1500 and 1800 CE Islam continued to spread, mostly in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, West Africa and Southeast Asia. During the 19th century European colonization of Muslim regions increased the economic and political effects of the growing shift in manufacturing and trade toward Europes favor. After World War Two nearly all of todays modern Muslim countries had achieved independence from European powers. Today we have more than 50 countries with Muslim majorities and dozens more with significant minorities.
