Islamic History
The Arab people are descended from Abraham's son Ismael, who, according to the Quran, went to the site where Mecca was to be when Sarah, Abraham's wife and the mother of Isaac, demanded that Abraham banish Ishmael and his mother Hagar from the tribe.
When Muhammad was born, the main religion in his area was an animistic polytheism. He was born in to the highest tribe in Mecca.
How would often go to visit a cave for solitude and to search for the one true God, which he found to be Allah, and one day the angel Gabriel came to him and told him to proclaim, after several protests, Muhammad became the great prophet of Islam. He went home and told his wife who became his first convert.
In the year 622, Muhammad made his pilgrimage to Yathrib, later called Medina with his companion, Abu Bakr. This pilgrimage is called the Hijrah, and the Muslims date their calendars around this event.
