Islam, one of the world’s major religions, originated in the 7th century CE in the Arabian Peninsula, founded on the teachings of Prophet Muhammad. Born around 570 CE in Mecca, Muhammad was known for his honesty and integrity, earning the title “Al-Amin” (the trustworthy). At the age of 40, he received his first revelation from Allah (God) through the Angel Gabriel while meditating in the Cave of Hira.
