The Divine Revelations
Tradition has it, at the age of 40 Muhammad was alone in a cave outside Makkah seeking solitude (which was usual for him) and was visited by the angel Gabriel
Muhammad was instructed to teach humanity more about God and how to worship Him.
![Page 11: The Prophet Muhammad. Arabia Before Muhammad What do you see here? What skills would a person need to survive and prosper in this environment?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032309/56649d0b5503460f949df3ed/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Divine Revelations
Muhammad, like the prophets who preceded him, taught people to believe in One God (in Hebrew is “Eloh” and in Arabic is “Allah”).
Muhammad’s miracle was the Qur’an itself, which Muslims consider to be the final message from God to humanity.
At first not many believed Muhammad.

The Divine Revelations
Geometric shapes cover the images of Muhammad and Gabriel in this picture, because Muslims believe that depictions of the prophets of God and other respected persons are not acceptable and they request others respect their view on this matter.
