An ordinary muslim


They would find all of the new music and recreational activities. Including chess and polo. One of the new cool things for the ordinary muslims was the zoos, because they get to see animals they never even heard of before. The zoo had a science impact, but the others not so much. The impact for them was long impact though because people still play chess, polo, and go to zoos.

Islam, Judism, and Christianity

The religions Judism, Islam, and Christianity may seem very diffrent, which they are but they are also very similar. For one, they all beleive in one supreme god. Also,they each have a holy book, and beleive in a brotherhood with people of the same faith. My last, is doing what is right like helping the poor and the ones who can't help themselves, which to me is very important.

Qur'an

The qur'an is the book the muslims use to teach Islam to the world, to keep spreading the religion. It's a primary source, because they are the exact words of Muhammad, but many people believe otherwise because since he could not read or write other people had to make it.

Life and Teachings of Muhammad

Muhammad lived a life growing up in many places. He started by living with nomads for about five years then when he came back to his tribe and mother, his mother soon died. So, he moved to his grandfather, but he too soon died and he stayed with his uncle. He became a merchant like his uncle. When he started the religion he tought in worshiping one god, studying the koran, and being kind to others.

Life in Arabia during Muhammed

Muhammed lived in Makkah, Arabia growing up and is known as the holy city. Makkah was/is very dry and is desert land which means no oasis or much agriculture. The city was very wealthy, because of its trade, so Makkah was full with many merchants. They traded spices, sheepskins, and other items. In Makkah they traded with many places including Yemen, Syria, and Africa.
