The founder of Islam was a man called Muhammad. He was born the approximate year of 570AD. An important event in Muhammad’s life is known as the Night of Power around 610AD. It was when Muhammad went to his favourite cave to fast and reflect on the changes that were happening in Mecca. During this time, he had visions of Gabriel, who asked him to recite certain words. Slowly Muhammad began to share the words he had heard with others. It took Muhammad several years of experiencing the visions to come to believe they were from God. He eventually began writing the words of the angel down and these became the Qur’an, the holy book for the Muslims.
