He did non approve of their flawlessness worship, nor did he approve of the lifestyle that ncluded beverage and illicit relations between hands and women. Therefore, Mohammad (pbuh) regularly went away from the city to the retract to contemplate life and to seclude and keep himself from the actions and lifestyle of his people. At the age of 40, Mohammad (pbuh) started to grow revelations from God through the angel Gabriel. These revelations were the term of God, conveyed to Mohammad (pbuh) through the angel Gabriel.Mohammad (pbuh) was told by God that he was chosen as a Messenger to his people, and that the revelations he was receiving were the holy Quran and they were a messege from God to all of humanity. He was as well as nst ructed to deliver the sum to his people, and to teach and cash in anes chips them. The revelations continued for 23 years until soon before the death of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh). Although Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) was known by his people as â€Å"the trustworthy”, many of them refused to believe in him when he started to teach his message to the people.The leaders of Makkah and the loaded classes spurned the message not because they did not believe that Mohammad (pbuh) was saying the truth, and not because they did not believe that the Quran was the word of God. In fact, many of them later admitted that they had a smell in their hearts that it was he truth. However, they rejected the message in order to shelter their wealth and government agency.

The Muslims spend a pennyed the prime(prenominal) Muslim nation in A1-Madinah, and were ble to pull their religion freely for the first time. As the Muslims began to gain more followers and establish their power in A1-Madinah, their old enemies in Makkah became very uneasy. They saw that the balance of power was switching in favour of the Muslims as Arab tribes started to accept Islam.They attacked the Muslims and after several battles, the Muslims gained the top(prenominal) hand. The Muslims then sent a abundant a nd well equipped regular army to Makkah to end the attacks once and for all.
