What did Muhammad Ali protest for?
Boxing! But seriously, you are probably thinking about the preacher Muhammad. If you put Ali at the end of that name, you are talking about the famous boxer.
Back to the point, Muhammad started a new religion called Islam. Allah is Islam's god. He started preaching after the angel Gabriel appeared to him. He had many scholars, and after his death, they wrote about his life and preachings in a book they call the Qur'an, the Islam "bible" if you wanna put it that way.
