The Importance of the Qur'an

The Qur'an was special because it told the story of Muhammad taking a winged horse to Jerusalem.  This was the city that directed prayers towards them.  This is where he met Abraham, Moses & Jesus.  Soon he began to pray with them all.  Soon enough meeting the seven levels of heaven, where he met God.

Life & the Teachings of Muhammad

Muhammad's life was a struggle when his mother sent him off to live with a desert nomad family. Later he returned to the city with his mother, sadly she died soon after.  Muhammad took on duties throughout his life whether it was watching the sheep or later on, trading. His teachings soon began. It all started when Muhammad received the call to become a prophet, or messenger of God, which was called a Allah. Receiving the teachings from Gabriel and the response to his question, he was terrified.  As years went by Muhammad began preaching to other Makkan's.  Believing that everyone must worship one god, and one god only.  He believed that all believers in God were equal.  Many people joined him, from clans all over, strangly though many Makkan's rejected Muhammad's preaching along with the teaching.
