The Development of Islam Graphic Organizer and Timeline
 * //When and Where was Muhammad born?//**
 * //Mecca Around 570 A.D.//**


 * //Early Life://** **//Muhammad came from an important and wealthy family. Both his parents were dead by the time he was 6. He was then raised by his grandpa then his uncle. As a child he would travel with his guardian often. At 25 years of age he began working and the place he worked at was owned by a lady called Khadijah. They soon engaged.//** **//Over the years few people became wealthy, but they saw the suffering of the poor, but they just ignored.//**


 * //Message-//** **//Because of the foolish ways Muhammad would go out to the hills and pray or meditate.//** One day he meditated in a cave. In that cave he saw an angel. It told him to “Recite in the name of your Lord who created, created man from clots of blood! Recite! Your Lord is the Most Bountiful One, Who by the pen taught man what he did not know.” It is believed that it was a message from god to Muhammad. He went a while without telling anyone what had happened, except his wife but in a few years he told them. They called these messages Islam, to submit god, Followers were called Muslims. More messages were sent, and soon recorded into the bible, Qur’an.


 * //Reactions to Muhammad-//** **//With Muhammad many changes occurred. His ways were also like Judaism and Christianity. Though his ways also challenged and upset Arabians. Many aspects were brought. People just didn’t want to accept another belief in their home, but some just loved the new ideas. If only the other did know everything about Islam.//**


 * //Hegira (Migration from Mecca to Medina//****//) Muhammad moved from Mecca to a new place, named after him, Medina, which means the Prophet’s City. Muhammad didn’t have to leave, but he felt best to. In Mecca many leaders were threatening to kill Muhammad because some people did not want to follow his ways as well. So to prevent any chaos he left to Medina. The journey he traveled is known as Hegira.//**
 * //Returning to Mecca -//** **//Several years after the Hegira people from Mecca, who kick Muhammad out, saw all his publicity and worthiness. They felt bad for what they had done so they had asked for him to return. He accepted the offer and returned, but when he got back he knew that some still didn’t accept. To show his passion for his religion he burned down all statues of gods. Soon all of the citizens of Mecca became Muslims.//**
 * //Death of Muhammad and grown of Islam to Arabia-//** **//Muhammad felt that it was wrong to have left Medina so he moved back, but would come back to Mecca as well. Shortly after coming back to Mecca, while living in Medina, Muhammad died, but his ways were still spread throughout and so was his spirit.//**

Hadith Summary Hadiths are Muhammad's sayings.The Hadiths are like his ways and a true follower will do them and listen to his advice. They can make a real and better Muslim. These sayings are things such as quotes he said and advice. And It is important to follow to become a great Muslim. Taught by Muhammad.

**The Qur’an** Muslims consider the Qur’an to be the exact word of God as to be told to Muhammad. Beliefs Central teaching in Qur’an: They are to believe in only one god and that god is Allah. “And that Muhammad is his Prophet.” And another belief is that the world will one day end and that one final king will give them paradise if they obey. The ones that don’t obey will suffer. Guidelines for Behavior Acts of worship, guidelines for behavior and social life: People had rights to follow and other restrictions. People also had to follow ways and to give respect. Relations Among people: People were to treat others with equal rights, but it didn’t happen for everybody. Jihad (definition): To Try Real Hard **The Sunnah** The Sunnah refers to: The way of Muhammad’s life, which gives an example of how Muslims should act, and what they should do. The Five Pillars of Islam Definition: Needed worships for Muslims. __Describe each of the 5 pillars of Islam.__ 1. Statement of faith: A good Muslim should have good trust on others. And they have to be loyal. Once in their life they have to say “There is no god, but God, ad Muhammad is his prophet.” 5. Hajj: A pilgrimage to Mecca: All Muslims must travel to Mecca at least once in their life. The Sunnah and Daily Life Is like a guideline to how you should treat others. It is polite and good to treat people with generosity and giving. **Islamic Law** Shariah: Shariah is way to reward people for their good with work and punishments for their bad work. Muslim countries today: Blend Islamic Law. Western legal system like we have in the United States
 * __Chapter 3; Section 3 Notes__ **

 * 2) Donation to charity: They also have to make a donation once year. The money will help the poor, pay for bills, or help build mosques.
 * 3)  Fasting: They would go without food and drink: The 4 th thing is that they must fast, not eat or drink anything from dawn and sunset in the month they celebrate Ramadan.

__//** Photo Gallery Questions : **//__ 1. **In what way are the Muslims you see in the photo gallery** They each have their own styles. Of dressing. Some of them wear the hing on their head and some of them don't. Not all Muslims wear that. The people that wear them are either forced or just don't want to. Most of the people that don't wear them are mostly young. The older poeple tend to wear them because they are ready, and he young ones don't wear them often because they aren't ready, but the ones who do are probaly being forced. Also some of them have a different tan. I think this is because of the place they are from. Some people may live a a very hot place and others may live in a cool place.

2. **What do you think accounts for these differences?** They dress different because of their homes, and location. Most of their homes are in Arabia which is real hot.
