How The Revelatons Came?

How The Revelatons Came?

            Islam began as world religious movement in the first decade of the seventh century of Makkah (Mecca) in Arabia. It was thaught by Muhammad, son of Abdullah, of the tribe of Quraysh and the clan of Hashim. When Muhammad was forty years old, he began to have visions in which God sent down a series  of relevations throught the Angel Gabriel. The relevation, recited in Arabic form, were a disclosure not of God, but of His will or commandments.

            The relevtions came piecemeal, sometimes asserting God’s existence, His unity and providences, His judgment on the last day, sometimes describing what should be done in a situation which called for a solution, dispensation, or guidance. Somtimes the relevations applied to a situation with a wider religious context such as relations with unbelievers, or with Cristians and Jews, of whom there were many in Arabia and the adjoining countries. At first Muhammad himsself didi not believe. He thought he was having illusions or was being tempted or prossessed by the devil. But the visions became convinced the God was trully ccalling him to rise and teach the new faith. The first convert was Muhammad’s wife, Khadijah. She cecame convinced even before Muhammad, that he was indded a prophet.
