Best Answer

Muhammad taught that there was only one God, Allah. The belief in one God was a new idea for many Arabs. Before this time, Arabs prayed to many gods at shrines. The most important shrine was in Mecca. Many people traveled to Mecca every year on a pilgrimage. Muhammad also taught that the rich should give money to the poor. But rich merchants in Mecca rejected this idea.

Christianity also has pilgrimage locations, such as Santiago de Compostela, in western Spain. Pilgrims from all over Europe and the world have travelled there since the early medieval era. It is the second most popular pilgrimage location next to Mecca. Jerusalem also serves as a popular pilgrimage location for multiple religions.
