Question
According to the Muslim faith, in about the year 610, the angel Gabriel visited Muhammad. He told Muhammad that he was a prophet of God, or "Allah" in Arabic. Muhammad told people in his hometown, Mecca (present-day Saudi Arabia), about this experience. Mecca's rulers didn't like what he was saying, so they kicked him out. Muhammad moved to Medina, and he and his followers began spreading their faith to nomadic tribes and ambushing caravans from Mecca. Finally, he rode back into Mecca and faced little resistance. He had become a religious prophet and political leader. Islam spread very quickly under the leadership of Muhammad. He combined military conquest with strategies that made it desirable in society to join the faith.
