    Before the prophet Muhammad was born Islam originated from the Arabian Peninsula spread throughout the land mostly by caravan trade. Much like Greece and Rome, Arabia was divided into tribes and cities, with different gods and goddesses they were devoted to, around sixth century A.D.

Therefore, to develop an understanding of the Muslim culture, we must review the birth and expansion of Islam. Islam began when the angel Gabriel appeared before Muhammad, telling him that God had declared him as “His last prophet” (Clark 9). This happened in 610 A.D. in Mecca, presently known as Saudi Arabia. Over the course of twenty years, Muhammad spread word of God’s messages, which later became the Qur’an.…
