• The Koran mentions Jesus 25 times– "O People of the Book!

Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus…was (no more than) an apostle of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His apostles. Say not "Trinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah. Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son.”

– Allah = name for God in Islam

Objective

Why doesn’t Muhammad have a face in these pictures?

• It is considered blasphemy to draw Muhammad’s face– Blasphemy = disrespect

for God or holy things

The Last Prophet:Muhammad

• Muhammad was born in 570 AD in Mecca

• At that time, most people from Mecca were polytheistic and worshipped 360 gods– Polytheism: belief in

many gods– poly = many; theo = god

• Muhammad was dissatisfied with his life, so he went to meditate in a cave

Four Important Events in Muhammad’s Life

• Muhammad journeys to Jerusalem

• Muhammad flees to Medina

Muhammad Receives Message From Allah610 CE

• The angel Gabriel visited Muhammad and said:

• “Recite in the name of thy Lord who created! He created man from a clot of blood. Recite; and thy Lord is the Most bountiful, He who hath taught by the pen, taught man what he knew not.”– The Koran

The Koran

• Muhammad’s messages from Gabriel over the next 22 years became the Koran

• Muslims believe that the Koran completes the holy writings of the Jews and the Christians, but it is even holier because it is made up of Allah’s actual words

Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset during the month of Ramadan to remember the first

messages Muhammad received from Allah

Fast = to not eat

Muhammad receives first message from Allah

• In your notes, provide a summary for the event “Muhammad receives first message from Allah – 610 CE”

heads, each head having 70,000 mouths, each mouth having 70,000 tongues, each tongue speaking 70,000 languages; and every one singing Allah's praises

• That’s 24 quintillion languages!

The Persecution of Muhammad

• T • People traveled to Mecca from

all over the world to pray to 360 gods at the Ka’bah

• For a while, this made Mecca very rich!

• However, once Muhammad started to preach about ONE god, less people came to the Ka’bah and Meccan merchants made less money.

• ROLE PLAY: If you sit on the right, pretend you are a Meccan merchant. If you sit on the left, pretend you are Muhammad.• Meccan merchant, tell

Muhammad how you feel.• Muhammad, defend yourself!

• Meccan merchants began to dislike Muhammad, and so they boycotted Muslim businesses• boycott: to refuse to buy

something

• Meccan merchants even threatened to kill Muhammad!

• Review:• How were the Jews

persecuted?• How were the Christians

persecuted?

One Form of Persecution: Boycott

• Around 620 CE, Muslim businesses were boycotted.

• In 1933, the Germans began to boycott Jewish businesses. This is how the Holocaust began. A Nazi officer posts a sign that reads:

“Germans! Defend yourselves! Do not buy from Jews!”

The Persecution of Muhammad

• Muhammad tried to convince the polytheistic Meccans that only one God exists

• Even after he split the moon in half, most Meccans did not believe him!

• So, Muhammad had to flee to Medina to save his life!

Don’t you people ever get confused with 360 gods? Do you have 360 gods for the 360 degrees of a circle that your head spins when you try to remember all of their names? I can hardly remember all the names of my wives much less the names of 360 gods. Do you really think that you have a

better chance at getting what you want just because you have more gods? Well, I only have one God and he’s Allah need… get it? No? Okay, okay, fine, put down your swords already. I’m gonna run away to Medina for eight years, but

I promise you, when I return, I’m gonna Mecca you a Muslim!

Muhammad and the “People of the Book”

• Many Jews and Christians lived in Medina• Muhammad asked his followers to respect

Christians and Jews• Like Muslims, these “People of the Book”

believed in one God• In the Constitution of Medina, Muhammad

declared that Muslims will be allies with Christians and Jews

Muhammad andthe “People of the Book”

• In 627 CE, the polytheistic Meccans besieged Medina

• Muhammad believed that the Jews would betray him and take the side of the Meccans

• Muhammad and his followers killed 600-900 Jewish people
