 * //__Where it Began__//**

The Islam religion began in Mecca. It was founded by Muhammad either in the late 400s or early 600s.
====Islam began in Saudi Arabia (Mecca and Medina city) when phrophet Mohammad first received vision from Allah through the angel (Jibril or Gabriel) in Hira cave. The first vision that Mohammad received, known as surah Al-Alaq, was when the angel asked him to "Read in the name of Allah". Mohammad couldn't read, but with Allah's help, he could read. That's when Mohammad knew that through surah Al-Alaq articles, he was a phrophet and Islam began, which makes all the old religions which are not, perfect to be perfect in one name, Islam. The Qur'an contains all the information that people should know to live their life the right way. The Qur'an is life guidance for Islam people where we can find Allah's regulation to get the best quality for their life.====
