Muhammad was the prophet, he was meditating in a cave outside of Mecca when a voice called to him. This voice was believed to be Allah (the one god of Islam). This religion was not allowed in Mecca for fear the monotheistic religion (belief in only one god) would cause citizens to lose respect for traditional Arab gods. Due to this he and his early followers moved to Medina where the religion was accepted and her gained more followers. Later Muhammad and 10,000 of his followers returned to Mecca and took over. Mecca became known as the location of Islam.
