3. History of islam
• . Muhammad's father, 'Abd Allah ibn'Abd al-Muttalib, died before
the boy was born; his mother, Aminah, died when he was six. The
orphan was consigned to the care of his grandfather, the head of
the clan of Hashim. After the death of his grandfather,
Muhammad was raised by his uncle, Abu Talib. As was customary,
Muhammad as a child was sent to live for a year or two with a
Bedouin family. This custom, followed until recently by noble
families of Mecca, Medina, Tayif, and other towns of the Hijaz,
had important implications for Muhammad. In addition to
enduring the hardships of desert life, he acquired a taste for the
rich language so loved by the Arabs, whose speech was their
proudest art, and learned the patience and forbearance of the
herdsmen, whose life of solitude he first shared and then came to
understand and app reciate
4. History of islam
• In the later Middle Ages, destructive Mongol
invasions from the East, and the loss of
population in the Black Death, greatly
weakened the traditional centre of the
Islamic world, stretching from Persia to
Egypt, and the Ottoman Empire was able to
conquer most Arabic-speaking areas,

challenges of the Early Modern period

• Born in about 570 CE in the
Arabian city of Mecca,[11][12]

merchant, as well as a shepherd,
and was first married by age

7. Sources of islamic beliefs
• Islam is the guidance which was first inspired by the
Almighty in human nature and after that it was given
by Him with all details to mankind through His
prophets. Muhammad (sws) is the last of these
prophets. Consequently, it is now he alone who in this

tacit approvals, has the authority to regard something
as part of Islam until the Day of Judgement. The
