History of Islam

The history of Islam concerns the political, economic, social, and cultural developments of the Islamic civilization. Despite concerns about the reliability of early sources, most historians believe that Islam originated in Mecca and Medina at the start of the 7th century. Muslims however believe that it did not start with Muhammad PBUH, but that it was the original faith of others whom they regard as Prophets, such as Jesus a.s, David a.s, Moses a.s, Abraham a.s , Noah a.s and Adam a.s.

In 610 CE, Muhammad PBUH began receiving what Muslims consider to be divine revelations.
