Summary
The religion of Islam was founded in the Arabian
peninsula in the early 7th century AD. Followers of Islam, known
as Muslims, believe in one god who they call Allah. They believe
Allah to be good and kind and to have absolute power.
Muhammad, the founder of Islam, was born in 570
in Mecca. Originally a shepherd and caravan conductor he claimed
to have received his first revelation from God in the year 610.
After some years of teaching Allah's will he declared
himself to be the prophet of God.
The Koran, or holy book of Islam, was said to
have been passed on to Muhammad by Allah and was written by his
followers.
