1. What

of
Judeo-‐Chris0an
religions).
Believers

of
God
(Allah)
–
and

teachings
of
Muhammad
(c.
570
AD
–
June
8,
632
AD),
considered
to
be
the
last
prophet
of
God.
The
example
of
Muhammad’s
life,
including
his
words,
deeds,
habits
and
prac0ces,
make
up
“sunnah”,
and
is
emulated
by
Muslims.

–
no
God
but
Allah
• Prayer
–
Muslims

notes:
History
of
Islam
(leaving
out
lots
of
stuff)

by

and
it
spread
rapidly
through

East
Asia,
Central
Europe
and

served
as
the
