* Who Is Allah?

Allah is the Arabic word for the One and Only God, Who is the Creator and Sustainer of the whole universe and everything in it. This means that Allah is not just the God of the Muslims, but of the whole of creation; He is the God of the Christians, the Jews, the Hindus and even of those who deny His existence. The Holy Qur’an says: “Say: He is Allah, the One; the Self Subsisting. He doesn’t beget; nor is He begotten. There is nothing (or no one) like Him.”

* Who Was Muhammad?

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the last of God’s prophets. God revealed messages to him to guide mankind to a life of obedience to God. He was born to a noble family of Makkah (Mecca) in Arabia in the year 570 CE. When he was 40 years of age, the Angel Gabriel appeared to him and revealed the first verses of the Qur’an. He received further revelations from God on many occasions in his life until his death at the age of 63. In the light of this Guidance from God, he preached Islam and many who were worshipping the false gods of the Arab tribes became Muslims. These early adherents of Islam were brutally persecuted by the tribal leaders of Makkah: the name of their tribe was Quraysh. Muhammad (peace be upon him) had to emigrate with the Muslims to Madinah, a city about 250 miles to the north of Makkah. The people of Madinah were more tolerant and they gradually accepted Islam. It was from this town that Islam spread to other parts of Arabia.
