He went on trading trips with his uncle, as he grew up he was known as a honest trader. He helped manage a widowed trader Khadijah’s caravan, and married her when he was 25.

The religion was founded in 622 C.E by a prophet named Muhammad Ibn. Muhammad gained many followers throughout his declaration, however in his hometown, they both suffered many persecutions and eventually, they migrated towards a city named Medina. This aviation is known as the Hejira and is known as a marker event in Islam. Due to the Hejira, Islam was no longer just a religion and practice. It became a political power where the followers became a community and Muhammed became their political and religious leader.
In the 7th Century came the rise of a new religion that began in the heart of the Middle East. Islam, the second most popular religion in the world today (“Major Religions Ranked by Size”), was formed after a man named Muhammad claimed he had received a revelation from god himself. Muhammad, known famously as the Prophet Muhammad, spread his message that he received through his revelations to his people and eventually to the world. Although the famous prophet ran into his fair share of obstacles, he was ultimately successful with his quest to spread the message throughout the Middle East alongside his Sahaba (the Prophet Muhammad’s companions that helped him spread the message). While Islam started off as one big group when Muhammad was in
Islam was started in the 7th century by a merchant trader in Mecca called Muhammad. He believed that there was one true god Allah, and received his revelation at Mt. Hira in 610. In 632 C.E. Muhammad died and Islam later spread throughout the world. Although, when he was alive many people didn’t like the ideas of Islam and wanted rebel against it.

In the year wchih followed the Revelation, Muhammad began his public preaching. The first converts include his wife – Khadija, cousin – Ali, other people closely related to him, and eventually more people from his own clan of Hashim. At first there was no sign of opposition against Muhammad’s teaching, but as it become more widespread in Mecca, people start seeing it as a threat to the city’s stability. Muhammad’s message about a single, all-powerful deity negates the legitimacy of the haram and its idols, puting the holy and neutral status of the site at risk. This theological clash continued to put pressure on Muhammad and his followers. However, they receive protection because of the solidity of the clan system. It had been Abu Talib, Muhammad’s uncle, who united the Hashim in support of Muhammad and protected him for his Meccan opposition.
Muhammad, who was a merchant in the trading city of Mecca, had begun to preach his beliefs in the cities. This set of beliefs had not only tied in the roots of both Judaism and Christianity, but also cultural qualities of the Arabic people at the time.

The book chapter “Cultural Animal” in the book Social Psychology by David Myers focuses on the role of the culture in human communities. The culture defines universal or localized rules for the accepted or expected social behavior of the society's members. In my opinion, the culture affects all aspects of human’s life and differentiates people from other species. Myers makes several arguments to support his claim that human beings are cultural animals. Firstly, he notes that when establishing social groups, humans use the culture to make their lives more convenient than other animals' ones (Myers 161).
Muhammad went into the hills to pray. He states he was visited by an angel and told to preach a new religion called Islam.
