Mohammad

In Islamic beliefs, Mohammad is the final prophet and the messenger of God. In 610, it is said that the angel Gabriel goes unto Mohammad and tells him that he is the messenger of god. Mohammad then begins his preachings in Mecca around 613. Mohammad preaches the word of Allah, and Allah is defined as "one and only god". In 622 Mohammad and his followers are forced out of Mecca to Yathrib but later return in 630. When he finally does return, many people convert to Islam. Mohammad is said to be to the Islamic people what Jesus is to the Christians.
