When Muhammad died how far had Islam spread?
Answer 1
it was a very small place and he was popular..... Myth... meaning stories parents told there kids and on and on and then there are stories too.
Answer 2
Mohammed's death did not spread or help to spread Islam. It was actually a detriment to the early spread of Islam. A large minority of Arab tribes had seen converting to Islam as a loyalty pact to Mohammed as opposed to an eternal religion. As a result, when Mohammed died, they considered themselves "released" from Islam. Caliph Abu Bakr was then forced to fight a civil war in Arabia to reunify the seceding Arab tribes into a unified Islamic region. It was not until Caliph Abu Bakr had quelled this dissent that Islam could spread under his successor, Caliph Omar.

2:Salaah
The second pillar of Islam, is Salaah. Many people translate the word Salaah, as 'prayer'. To pray, is to ask for help... to beseech -how a person beseeches in the court of law, to ask for help. Prayer does not denote the complete meaning of the Arabic word, Salaah, because in Salaah... besides asking for help, we also praise Allah (SWT), we also get guidance in the Salaah, so therefore the English word prayer, does not denote the complete meaning of the Arabic word Salaah. The more appropriate meaning that I say, I verily prefer calling it as programming, because we Muslims... we are programmed in our Salaah. We are programmed in what is wrong, and what is right -do the good things, do not do the bad things, do not rob, do not cheat, do the good things, love your neighbour, etc. We are being programmed.
We Muslims are supposed to pray 5 times a day -in the morning before sunrise, it is the Fajr Salaah -the Zohar Salaah, after the sun reaches highest, that is early in the afternoon -the Asr Salaah, late in the afternoon... that is before the sunsets -the Maghrib Salaah,after the sun sets immediately, and the Isha Salaah, that is late in the evening or the early in the night. We have to pray minimum 5 times a day. How... for a healthy body, the doctor will tell you -You should have three meals a day. Similarly for a spiritual soul, you should offer Salaah, 5 times a day, minimum. And whenever we offer Salaah, when we enter the Mosque, we remove our footwear -this was the commandment given to prophet Moses (Peace be upon him). It is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an in Surah Taha, Ch. 20, Verse 11 and 12, that...'' When he approached the fire he heard a voice... 'Oh! Moses verily I am your Lord ; take off thy shoes for thou art in the sacred valley of Dua'.
This was the commandment given to Moses(Peace be upon him) which we Muslims follow -We take off our footwear when we offer Salaah. Besides that, we are hygienic people, who want to see our place of worship is clean. And since we do prostration, we do not want to prostate in mud, dirt and filth which comes along with the footwear. Before offering Salaah, the Holy Qur'an says in Surah Maidah, Ch. 5, Verse 5...(Arabic)... 'O ye believe, when you prepare yourself for Salaah, when you prepare yourself for prayers, wash your face, and your hands, and arms, up to the elbow -rub your head with water, wash your feet upto the ankle'. It is the ablution -In Arabic, it is called as wudhu. It is compulsory that before we offer Salaah,we should do ablution, we should wash ourselves. Because we are hygienic people, we want to be clean before we appear in front of the Lord. And besides that, it is also a mental preparation -that mentally we are being prepared, that now we are going to appear in front of Allah (SWT), in front of Almighty Lord. Our believed Prophet said -it is mentioned in Sahih Bukhari, Vol. No. 1, in the Book of Adhan, Ch. No. 75, Hadith No. 692. Our prophet said... 'When you stand for Salaah, stand shoulder to shoulder'. In another Hadith, it says that... 'When you stand for Salaah, stand shoulder to shoulder, so that the devil does not come in between you'.
Our prophet was not talking about the devil which you see in the Onida T.V. add. You Know the Onida T.V. add it has the devil with two horn and a tail. Our Prophet was not talking about the devil which you see in the Onida T.V. add or in the comic strip with two horns and a tail. He was referring to the devil of rascism, devil of casteism, devil of colour, of wealth mean irrespective of whether you are rich or poor, whether you are black or white, whether you are from America or from China or from India or from Pakistan, whether you are from a noble family, or you are not from a noble family. When you offer Salaah, stand shoulder to shoulder, so that it shows the best Universal brotherhood, five times a day.
when we offer Salaah, irrespective from which ever part he is coming, whether he is rich or poor, whether he is black or white, when they stand for Salaah, we Muslims, we stand shoulder to shoulder. Universal brotherhood... the best example, practical example ...so that the devil of racsism, the devil of colour, the devil of cast, the devil of wealth does not come in between the brothers.
And the best part of the Salaah, is the sujud... is the prostration. The Arabic word sujud, is mentioned in the Qur'an, no less than 92 different times. And the Psychologists, they tell us, that the mind is not directly under our control. The body, it is directly under our control but our mind, keeps on wandering. It is not directly under our control... It keeps on wandering -the body is under our control. So to humble the mind, you have to humble your body -And which is the better way, than the way we Muslims do. We put the highest part of the body... that is the forehead, to the lowest part of the ground, and then say...' Glory be to Allah (SWT), Who is the most greatest, glory be to Allah, Who is the most highest.
And if you analyse, that when we offer Salaah there various benefits of the Salaah (i.e. prayers). Normally, throughout the day, there are electrostatic charges given out from the brain. When we do sujud, these charges get grounded -there is grounding of the frontal lobe, there is grounding of these charges. How, we have a three pin plug and a two pin plug... Three pin plug grounds. That does not mean, that if you put your hand below the head you will find, you will get a shock. It is not that grounding as the electric grounding, but it is dominance of the frontal lobe. Normally when you live, you always stand erect -blood is being pumped by the heart to the brain, but it is not sufficient for a very healthy brain. So when you do sujud,extra blood flows from the heart to the brain, due to gravity. This extra flow of blood, is a requirement for a very healthy brain. So when we do sujud, extra blood flows in to the brain, which is very good for a healthy brain. When we do sujud, there is extra blood supply to the skin of the face, which prevents 'Chill bane'. When we do sujud, the secretion of the synuses... the 'Aismodal' synus, Magniotal synus, they get drained- there are less chances of a person suffering from Synusitis. Normally when you breath, only 2/3rd of your lungs capacity is utilised. The remaining 1/3rd is known as residual air. But when we do the sujud, and when your breath in the sujud, the abdominal vicra, it presses against the diaphragm. The diaphragm presses against the lower part of the lungs, and even the residual air... the 1/3rd air is exhaled out, so more fresh air enters in to the lungs, in which there are less chances of that person suffering from lung diseases. When we do sujud, there is drainage of secretion of the Brocheal tree, in which there are less chances of a person suffering from Bronchitis. When we so sujud, there is increased vynus return, to the Abdominal vicra... when we do sujud there is less chances of having Hamroid. There are several benefits. When you do kayaam, ruku, sujud...when you stand up, and when you get up from the sitting position, the calf muscles are being activated. The calf muscles are referred to as peripheral heart, because they supply blood to the lower part of the body. So when you do kayaam, ruku, sujud... when you stand up, sit up, prostate, get up... the calf muscles are activated, and it increases the blood supply to the lower part of the body when you stand up bow down and prostrate the vertebrae is being exercised you have less chances of having disease of vertebrae. There are several medical benefits only of salah -You can give a talk only on that. But we Muslims, we do not offer salah, for these medical benefits -these are only side dishes. We offer salah, to praise Allah (SWT) to thank...Allah (SWT). That is our main dish...that is a biryani. The medical benefits are side dishes -we do not pray for these medical benefits. It may attract a person, who does not believe in Islam -that okay, you get medical benefits... he may come closer to salah. But we Muslims offer salah, to thank Allah (SWT)... to praise Him -That is our main biryani. This is the additional benefit that Allah (SWT) gives us.
3: Zakah
The third pillar is Zakah. The Arabic words Zakah,means purification... it means growth. In Islam every rich person who has a saving of more than the nesaab level, more than the minimum wealth, that is seven and a half tolaof gold. He should give 2.5% of that saving every lunar year, in charity -and the criteria to do the charity is given in Surah Tauba Ch. 9, Verse 60, which says... 'It can be given to the fukra, to the poor people, to the masakeen who are needy, whose heart is bent towards Islam, to those who are in debt, those in freeing of slave, a way farer who gets scanted in a foreign land, and those who spend in the way of Allah(SWT)'. These are 8 categories given in Surah Tauba, Ch.9,V 60, to whom this Zakat can be given. It is compulsory for every rich Muslim, who has saving of more than the nisaab level, he should give 2.5% of that saving, every lunar year, in charity. I ask a question, that if every human being in the world gives Zakat, gives 2.5 % of his excess wealth in charity... poverty will be eradicated form this world. There will not be a single human being who will die of hunger. That is why the Holy Qur'an says, in Surah Hashr, in Ch. 59, Verse 7, that... 'It prevents the wealth from circulating among the rich -is that, that the rich will not become more richer'. It prevents the wealth from circulating amongst the rich. The Holy Qur'an says in Surah Taubah, Ch. 9 Verse 34, that... 'Those who bury gold and silver, and spend it not in the way of Allah (SWT), do not give charity, announce to them a grievous penalty. That on the day of Judgement, heat will be produced from this wealth, from fire of hell, and they will be branded on their fore heads, on their flanks, and on their back. And it will be told to them, that you hoarded the wealth- now have a taste of your wealth'. Hoarding of wealth, is prohibited in the Holy Qur'an -You cannot hoard wealth.
4: Fasting
The fourth pillar in Ramadhan, is saum. That every adult Muslims should fast, should abstain from having food and drink, from sunrise to sunset, in the complete lunar month of Ramadhan. The Holy Qur'an says in Surah Al-Baqarah, Ch. 2, Verse 183, that... 'Ramadhan has been prescribed to you, as it was prescribed earlier, to the people who came early before you, so that you may learn self restrain'. The reason for fasting has been described in the Holy Qur'an,for self restraint. And the Psychologists, they tell us today, that if you can control your hunger, you can control almost all your desires. That is what Qur'an says, that... 'Ramadanhas been prescribed to you, so that you may learn self restrain, you may control your desire. If you can control your hunger, you can control almost all your desires. And there are various benefits, that if a person can abstain from having alcohol, from sunrise to sunset, he can very well abstain from having alcohol, from the cradle to the grave. If he can abstain from smoking from sunrise to sunset, he can very well abstain from smoking, from the cradle to the grave. It gives an opportunity to improve yourself. I call it the over hauling -like how your machine requires servicing...like you service your car every three months, every four months... your motor cycle every five month, etc. If you allow me to call the human being a machine, I would say... It is the most complicated machine on the face of the earth. Ramadhan is a servicing of the human body -one lunar month, every lunar year... servicing. There are several medical benefits even of the Salaah. I would not like to go in to detail. But it also improve, increases the intestinal absorption when you fast, it increases your intestinal absorption.
5: Hajj
The fifth pillar is Hajj. Every Adult Muslim who has the means to perform Hajj, that is pilgrimage to the Holy city of Makkah, should at least do it once in his life time. And I say that the Hajj is the best practical example in the world, of Universal brotherhood -There is not a better example. In Hajj, there are 2.5 million Muslims who gather in Mecca. In Mina, in Arafat... the holy land, 2.5 million Muslims from various part of the world, from America, England, Japan, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Singapore and various part of the world. And the men, they dress up in two pieces of unsewen cloth preferably white -so that the person standing next to you, when he is performing the pilgrimage, you cannot make out whether the person standing in front of you is a king or a popper. You cannot come to know, whether he is rich or poor. All of the Muslims from various parts of the world ...they collect -It is the biggest annual gathering of the world. 2.5 million Muslims, 25 lakhs Muslims, they gather there and they perform their pilgrimage, and they are dressed in the same simple unsewen pieces of cloth -Best example of Universal brotherhood. I started my talk by quoting a Verse from the Holy Qur'an, Surah Hujurah, Ch.49, Verse 13, which says... (Arabic)... 'O human kind, We have created you from a single pair of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye shall recognize one another, and not that you shall despise one another'. And the most honoured in the sight of Allah (SWT) is the one who has taqwaa, who has righteousness, who has God-consciousness, who has piety. The Holy Qur'an says that... 'The whole of the human kind, has been created from a single pair of a male and a female'. And God Almighty has divided them into nations and tribes, so that they shall recognise each other not that they shall despise each other -That I am superior to you... or you are superior to me. And the Prophet said that... 'No Arab is superior to a Non-Arab, neither a Non-Arab superior to an Arab, neither a White superior to a Black, nor a Black superior to a White'. The Qur'an says -the only criteria for judgment in Surah Hujrat, Ch. 49, Verse 13... 'The only criteria for judgment in the sight of Allah (SWT) is not sex, it is not caste, it is not colour, it is not wealth, it is not age, it is taqwaa, it is God-consciousness, it is peity, it is righteousness, it is by God-consciousness... not by wealth, colour or nobility'. These are the guidance given by the Holy Qur'an, for Universal brotherhood.
These were in a nutshell the five pillars of Islam. If you remember the Prophet said these are the pillars of Islam, these are the principles of Islam. This does not constitute the complete Islam. Many people have a misunderstanding that if they do these 5 things they become very good Muslims. These are only the 5 pillars, and any engineer will tell you, that if the pillar is strong, then hopefully the structure will be strong. If the foundation is strong, then the structure will be strong, so if we follow these 5 pillars correctly, then InshaAllah the structure will be correct. And the other structure, the do's and don't's are mentioned in the Holy Qur'an. How a person should lead his life, is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an. The Holy Qur'an says in Surah Dhariyat, Ch. 51, Verse 56...(Arabic)...
'That We have created the jinn and the men, not but to worship Me'.

What mountain do the Prophet Muhammad preached it?
The mountain upon which the first revelation took place was Jabal al-Nour however, to be more specific it took place in the Cave of Hira.
Why do you think Muhammad's teachings were popular with poorer people?
Muhammad demanded that the wealthy give away some part of their wealth to look after the poor and the wealthy did not want their money taken from them. It is the same reason that most wealthy individuals in democracies vote against left-wing programs that redistribute wealth; they do not want to lose their money.
Why is Muhammed known as the founder of Islam?
he was the messager of Allah helping Allah
Hazrat Muhammad (May peace be upon him) didn't discover Islam. It was already there in the form of Judaism and Christianity. The key belief in Islam is the ONENESS (TAUHEED) of Almighty God (ALLAH). The belief that Almighty God is the Sole Creator, Sustainer, Provider, and Ruler of all the worlds He has created. He has no Parents, No Off-spring, No Son, No Partner and No Associate in His person or His Absolute Authority. He sent about 1, 25, 000 Prophets (May peace be upon them all) for the guidance of humans. All of them preached Islam.
The last Prophet of islam Hazrat Muhammad (May peace be upon him) got the message of his being a Prophet from Almighty God through the Arch Angel Hazrat Gabriel (Jibril), as did the previous Prophets like Hazrat Abraham (AS), Hazrat Jacob (AS), Hazrat Moses (AS) Hazrat Jesus Christ (AS). His age that time was 40 years. It was 610 AD when he first received the opening verses of the Qur'an.

What do christians believe about Muhammad prophet?
Muhammad in Christianity is a prophet per God revelation of Quran to him through the angel Gabriel to call people to worship God (Allah) as the one and only one God with no partner and to correct the deviations in previous religions from the righteous God path. Refer to the question below on why was Quran revealed for more information in this regards. As Jesus (Peace be upon him-PBUH) is a prophet per God revelation of the Bible to correct for the deviations in Judaism from the righteous path originally called for by Moses (PBUH), Muhammad (PBUH) is a prophet per God revelation of Quran to correct for deviations in Judaism and Christianity from the righteous path originally called for by, respectively, Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them).
As for prophet Muhammad in the eyes of Christians, Christians were not having the same view.
- Some believe in Muhammad prophesy and in Quran holy book.
- Some respect Muhammad and respect the Guides of Quran but don't believe in Muhammad prophesy and don't believe in Quran holy book.
- Some falsify the facts about Muhammad and his prophesy and falsify facts about the Quran holy book.
1. About Christians who believe in Muhammad prophesy and Quran holy book:
- During the life of Prophet Muhammad, many Christians believed in Quran and believed in the prophesy of Muhammad despite remaining on their Christian faith. Many Christians believed in both Muhammad and Jesus as two of the five greatest prophets. The other three are Noah, Abraham, and Moses.
- Some Christians who seek the truth, believe in the prophesy of Muhammad and believe in Quran. About those, Quran says (meaning English translation): ".... You will find the nearest in love to Muslims those who say "we are Christians'. That is because amongst them are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world and they are not arrogant. And when they listen to the Quran revelation received by the Messenger (Muhammad), you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of the truth they have recognized. They say ' O Lord! we believe; so write us down among the witnesses. And why should we not believe in Allah (God) and in that which has come to us of the truth (Islamic Monotheism)? and we wish our Lord admit us in Paradise along with righteous people (prophet Muhammad and his followers). So because of what they said, Allah (God) rewarded them Gardens under which rivers flow in Paradise where they abide forever. Such is the reward of the good-doers. But those who disbelieved (Quran God revelation and Muhammad prophecy) they shall be the dwellers of the Hell"[Quran, chapter 5, verses 82-86]
- When prophet Muhammad first met by the Angel Gabriel and returned back to his wife, Khadija, trembling and afraid and not recognizing what is going on, the Cousin of Khadija, who was Christian called Waraqa Ibn Nofal, saw Muhammad and told him that he would be the prophet of this nation and if he would be long lived he will back and support him.
- When the early Muslims faced torture in Mecca from the nonbelievers, they immigrated to Ethiopia that was ruled by Christian ruler who guaranteed their safety and welcomed them and believed in the true prophesy of Muhammad (without convert to Islam) and was in good relations with Muhammad after the spread of Islam in Saudi Arabia.
- Quran says about those Christians (and Jews):{And indeed, among the People of the Scripture (Christians and Jews) are those who believe in Allah (God) and what was revealed (Quran) to you (Prophet Muhammad) and what was revealed to them (the Bible and Torah), [being] humbly submissive to Allah. They do not exchange the verses of Allah for a small price. Those will have their reward with their Lord. Indeed, Allah is swift in account. (199) O you who have believed, persevere and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful. (200)} [Quran, chapter 3, verses 199-200]
2. About Christians who respect Muhammad and respect the Guides of Quran but don't believe in Muhammad prophesy and don't believe in Quran holy book.
Quran says: { ... among the People of the Scripture (Christians and Jews) is a community standing [in obedience], reciting the verses of Allah during periods of the night and prostrating [in prayer]. (113) They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and they enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and hasten to good deeds. And those are among the righteous. (114) And whatever good they do - never will it be removed from them. And Allah is Knowing of the righteous. (115)} [Quran, chapter 3, verses 113-115]
3. About those who falsify the facts about Muhammad and his prophesy and falsify facts about the Quran holy book.
- Some claim that Muhammad is a false prophet and that he is just a political leader who unified the scattered Arabs under a system of law to accomplish this unity. They forget that many non Arabs (Ethiopians, Persians, ...) believed in the prophet and followed Islam religion. They forget that all Arab leaders offered the prophet to accept him as their ruler and offered him to be the richest among them on condition that he abandons calling for Islam but he refused.
- Some claim that and the prophet just created a new sect of Abrahamaic faith derived from Judaism and Christianity. They forget that if Islam religion is derived from Christianity/Judaism why there are principal dogmatic beliefs with them? He could have canceled them and earned additional people beside him.
- Some claim that Quran is a human written text. They forget the many proofs that Quran is real God words revealed to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel. Refer to related link below for more information.
- Quran says: {They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers. (72) They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the third of three." And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment. (73) So will they not repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (74) The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him...} [Quran, chapter 5, verses 72-75]
______________________________________________________________________
Answer B (from a Christian stand point)We, Christians, actually, only believe that Muhammad came to reassure what Jesus Christ said, that there was only one God. He didn't do or say anything else. The Bible speaks extremely little of him, and this all it reads:Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 18:
"I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."
Muhammad is not mentioned in biblical scripture & he has nothing to do with biblical prophecy or christianity.
What are the events in Muhammad's life?
The key points in the life of the last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (May peace and blessings of Almighty God be upon him) are:
1. Birth, childhood, Youth-known for his honesty, truthfulness, integrity and piety.
2. Meditation in the Cave of Hira.
3. Revelation of the holy Qur'an. Age 40 years. Prophet-hood.
4. Preaching of ONENESS of Almighty God in a society where 360 idols were worshiped.
5. Maltreatment, Torture at the hands of non-believers
6. Ma'araj (Visit to Al-Aqsa Mosque, Ascent above heavens), visit of Hell and Paradise. Order of Prayer for the Muslims five times a day. Meeting the past Prophets.
7. Migration to Madina Munawara.
8. Battle of Badr 2. AH
9. Battle of Uhd 3 AH.
10. Attack of combined Tribes of Arabia, Battle of Khandaq (Ahzab)
11. Peace pact at Hudaibia 6 AH
12. Fall of Makka Mukarma to the Muslims. General amnesty to non-believers
13. Hajj and the last Address to the Muslims in the field of Arafat 10 AH.
14. Passing away 11 AH.
Because Prophet Muhammad is the one who preached to the whole world about Islam in spite of many major hardships in the beginning of the Islam era, he wanted to spread the world of Allah and taught the world about what Allah want us to do as his worshippers.
Prophet Muhammad always wanted to help in every way possible and guide them to the right path. Prophet Muhammad showed the Muslims how to do every thing till the day of judgment. Prophet Muhammad guided how to win the tough fights / wars. The Muslims most of the time won with Allah's help and mercy.
He taught people to read and write Qu'ran, he taught people to do salat, pay zakat, how to fast, and how to do hajj. He showed Allah miracles happen. He helped everyone, and he was honest. Everyone trusted him. He was prepared for any thing every time. He was a very pure and clean person. Allah wishes for everyone to be like him and to follow the straight path. If everyone were like prophet Muhammad then the world would be a better place to stay. Because he taught Muslims to live life properly, and told us about shaitan and not to follow him. Whoever follows shaytan will go to Jahanam (Hell) or who ever follows prophet Muhammad will go to Janah (Paradise).
Prophet Muhammad has made most Muslims successful and pure by teaching them about Islam. If he hadn't taught Muslims then, we wouldn't be aware of Islam and Islam would not have spread and no one would have followed Islam. So we should be grateful to prophet Muhammad for showing us how to live in this world and what to expect here after and what to do in this world to go to Jannah. He is role model for the whole humanity and if we follow him we will be definitely on the right path and with Allah's mercy we can go to Jannah. Prophet Muhammad always prayed for the best for his followers in this world and also in the hereafter. Prophet Muhammad never wanted any thing for himself. He loves his followers so much and he will ask Allah go forget the sins of all the Muslims and also Allah to give Jannah to all the Muslims. If Prophet Muhammad wanted lots of money, or any thing he could have got it but he just wanted to spread the word of Allah and Islam and nothing for himself. Even Jannah he wants for all Muslims.
Who killed the Prophet Muhammad?
There was an attempt at poisoning the prophet (pbuh).
It was a Jewish woman from the tribe of Qurayza, after the men had been killed.
She attempted to poison the prophet, but she was not successful, even though the prophet had a taste.
Once he realized it was poison, he called for her...
And asked why she did it.
She gave him the reply, " You killed my husband, and my father, if you are a true prophet you would surely have realised it was poison, if you are a fraud, i would have favoured the people by getting rid of you"
He then forgave her, and let her free.
He died four years later, and as you know.. no poison takes 4 years to kill a man.
So he was not poisoned.

What did Prophet Muhammad affect?
The effect of the teachings of the prophet Muhammad was people still believe on his teachings....!!
What are the beliefs of Muhammad?
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) believs that God (Allah) is the one and only one to be worshiped with no partner, son, father, companion, or any resemblance. He called all people to Islam religion (basically called them to monotheism and worship of one and only one God (Allah).
See related question below for main priciples of Islam.
AnswerMuhammad (peace be upon him) believed that Allah (S) was the only God with no sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, and so on. The people at the time believed in idols which was against my religion (and his). So he was chosen at the age of 40 to spread the religion he believed in. The people hated him soon though they saw the light and converted to Islam. He believed that no matter what he shouldn't be scare because Allah (S) is always there. Did this answer your question?Why did Prophet Muhammad fast on Monday and Thursday?
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Deeds are shown (to Allaah) on Mondays and Thursdays, and I like my deeds to be shown when I am fasting.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 747; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 1041.
Answer: According to Muslim teaching the objectives of jihad are relatively simple. It is to create peace by ridding the world of all infidels viz. any opposed to Islam. In this context it must be understood that 'opposed' includes the idea of any who do not fully accept Islam, even if they do not actively oppose but simply do not believe, or do not accept all the Islamic teachings. Thus, this obligation to kill opponents also extends to those who are called 'moderate Muslims' who simply want to live in peace.
The ultimate objective of course is to have ony one religion left in the world.
Why did the people of Mecca initially resist Muhammad's teachings?
Abu Sufyan and the Meccans did not oppose Muhammad arbitrarily. They had specific grievances, which included:
Preserving Religious Plurality: Abu Sufyan opposed Mohammed because the religious plurality permitted in Mecca was critical for maintaining Mecca's important position along the Arabian trade routes. It was on account of the fact that Mecca was holy site for all Arabian faiths that spared it from internal conflict and allowed the flourishing of commerce in the city. Mohammed made clear that he intended to purge the idols from the Kaaba which would cause mass uproar and ended Mecca's position as a holy site for all Arabians.
Of course, what Abu Sufyan did not take into account is that nearly all Arabians would convert to Islam after the fall of Mecca.
Keeping His Own Power: Abu Sufyan was one of the Chief Leaders of the Qoreish Tribe and one of the most powerful men in all of Arabia. Should Mecca fall to the Muslims, he would certainly lose substantial power. Many Muslims hold that he was corrupt as well, meaning that he stood to face criminal acts if he were subject to Mohammed's authority.
Polytheism: It was likely that Abu Sufyan was fighting in defense of Arabian henotheist religion to which he ascribed against Mohammed who would demand that he abandon all gods but Allah.
Protecting Commerce: During Mohammed's Medinan Period, Mohammed organized and executed numerous raids on caravans heading to and leaving from Mecca, causing disruption to Arabian trade routes. Since Abu Sufyan was in an important position in Mecca, this was something he would be expected to ameliorate.

Different regions of the world have their own unique religions. Whole countries or areas will have a predominant belief system and do not tolerate any others. Since that is the only ideology that is taught in that area, then that is all they will ever know. Other ideologies may not be tolerated in their region. The result is that they may not be receptive to any other spiritual ideas that come along. Freedom of choice is available only to those who wish to explore the many buried truths that have been hidden from our sight. I sincerely hope that you are one of those truth seekers.
