Mohammed had ten wives altogether. Only by his first wife did he have children. Muhammed's only grandchildren were by his daughters Zaynab and Fatima. I INTRODUCTION Muhammad (prophet) (570?-632), founder of Islam, whose prophetic teachings, encompassing political and social as well as religious principles, became the basis of Islamic civilization and have had a vast influence on world history. HISTORICAL ESSAYS Internationalization of Islam Encarta Historical Essays reflect the knowledge and insight of leading historians. This collection of essays is assembled to support the National Standards for World History. In this essay, Richard Foltz examines the dynamics and consequences of the rapid expansion of Islam that began in the 7th century ad. Muhammad was born in Mecca. He belonged to the clan of Hashim, a poor but respected branch of the prestigious and influential tribe of Quraysh. His father died before he was born, and after his mother's death when he was six, he was brought up by his uncle Abu Talib. Pensive and withdrawn in temperament, he displayed an acute moral sensitivity at an early age, and he was known as al-Amin (“the trusted one”). Like his fellow tribesmen, he became a trader and made several journeys to Syria, where he may have met and conversed with Christians. He then began to manage the business of a rich widow, Khadija; she was greatly impressed by both his honesty and ability, and she shortly offered him marriage, which he accepted at the age of 25. II FIRST REVELATION HISTORIC SPEECHES The Teachings of Muhammad During the early 7th century, a trader named Muhammad was meditating in a cave near Mecca in what is now Saudi Arabia, when he experienced a vision of the archangel Gabriel who declared Muhammad to be a prophet of God. Other revelations followed, and Muhammad began to preach to others, reciting in verse the instructions he had received from God. These revelations became the Koran, the sacred scripture of Islam. In this passage from Muhammad’s teachings, he teaches his followers, called Muslims, to lead a righteous life through their faith and works. Muhammad probably heard Christians and Jews expound their religious views at commercial fairs in Mecca, and, troubled by the questions they raised, he periodically withdrew to a cave outside Mecca to meditate and pray for guidance. During one of these retreats he experienced a vision of the archangel Gabriel, who proclaimed him a prophet of God. He was greatly perplexed by the experience but was reassured by his wife, and, as new revelations followed, he came to accept his prophetic mission. His wife and his cousin Ali became his first followers, and eventually he began to preach in public, reciting the verses of his revelation, which came to be known as the Qur'an (Koran). He gained some prominent converts, but the movement grew slowly. III TEACHINGS GREAT WORKS OF LITERATURE The Merciful Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the direct word of God as it was revealed to the prophet Muhammad in the 7th century. Also known as the Koran, this book is the sacred scripture of Islam. Divided into 114 chapters called suras, the Qur’ansets forth the basic requirements of Muslim life, including spiritual, social, and legal codes of conduct. This sura calls on both humans and jinn (spirits created from fire) to acknowledge the power of God. Muhammad's earliest teachings emphasized his belief in one transcendent but personal God, the Last Judgment, and social and economic justice. God, he asserted, had sent prophets to other nations throughout history, but, having failed to reform, those nations had been destroyed. Muhammad proclaimed his own message, the Qur'an, to be the last revealed Book and himself to be the last of the prophets, consummating and superseding the earlier ones. IV OPPOSITION Insisting on the necessity of social reform, Muhammad advocated improving the lot of slaves, orphans, women, and the poor and replacing tribal loyalties with the fellowship of Islamic faith. This egalitarian and reformist tendency quickly aroused the enmity of the rich merchants who dominated Mecca. They persecuted some of Muhammad's weaker followers, and in 615 he ordered 83 families to take refuge in Ethiopia. When both his beloved wife Khadija and his uncle and protector Abu Talib died in 619, he despaired of his position in Mecca. After an unsuccessful effort to convert the nearby town of AtTa’if, he was approached by a delegation from Yathrib (later Medina), a city about 300 km (about 186 mi) to the north that was divided by tribal feuds. They asked him to arbitrate the feuds, offering him considerable authority. After careful negotiations, Muhammad accepted and asked his followers to emigrate from Mecca to Medina. V THE HEGIRA Muhammad left Mecca just as his enemies were preparing to murder him, and he arrived in Medina eight days later. His emigration became known as the Hegira (Arabic hijrah) and marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. Muhammad was soon given supreme authority in Medina, and he began to establish the ritual practices of Islam and to carry out social reforms. He promulgated a charter that specified the rights and relationships of the Muslims, Jews, and other groups of the city. The Meccans, meanwhile, persisted in their hostility, demanding the extradition of Muhammad and his Meccan followers. They were supported in Medina by a group, referred to in the Qur'an as the Hypocrites, who had submitted to Islam but were secretly working against it. This group in turn was aided by the three Jewish tribes that were residing in Medina. VI WAR WITH MECCA Muhammad's strategy in the developing conflict with Mecca was to attack Meccan trade caravans returning from Syria and thus economically weaken the city. In 624, the first major battle occurred, in which the Muslims, despite their inferiority in numbers and weapons, soundly defeated the Meccans. In the next major battle, the following year, the Meccans had the advantage but were unable to achieve a decisive victory. A Meccan army of 10,000 besieged Medina in 627 but failed to take the city. Muhammad meanwhile eliminated his enemies within Medina. After each of the first two battles he expelled a Jewish tribe, and after the third major battle he had the males of the remaining tribe massacred for collaborating with his opponents. VII VICTORY Dome of the Rock The oldest extant Islamic structure, the Dome of the Rock stands on the sacred rock in Jerusalem where the Prophet Muhammad is believed to have ascended to heaven. Caliph Abd al-Malik built the mosque during the late 7th century. The mosque’s basic octagonal design encloses a central space topped by a dome. A rich mosaic decoration covers the outer walls.Israel Ministry of Tourism In 630, the Meccans, unable to conquer Medina and crippled by the severing of their trade routes, finally submitted peacefully to Muhammad, who treated the city generously, declaring a general amnesty. Tribal delegations arrived from throughout Arabia, and their tribes were soon converted to Islam. Muhammad, now the most powerful leader in Arabia, enforced the principles of Islam and established the foundation of the Islamic empire. He ordered the destruction of the idols in the Kaaba, the traditional place of pilgrimage in Mecca, which then became the holiest shrine of Islam. He granted Jews and Christians religious autonomy as “peoples of the Book,” whose revelations anticipated his own. On his last visit to Mecca, at the time of the annual pilgrimage, he gave a sermon in which he summarized his reforms, declared the brotherhood of Muslims, and repudiated all distinctions of class, color, and race. He died suddenly and unexpectedly in Medina about a year later, on June 8, 632. HISTORIC SPEECHES Muhammad's Universe Muhammad is the chief prophet of Islam, one of the world’s major religions. Islam is based largely on the Qur’an (Koran), believed by Muslims to be divine revelation conveyed to Muhammad by the archangel Gabriel. Author Michael Cook describes the core concepts of Muhammad’s worldview, in particular how the Islamic conception of the universe equates religion and politics. Quoting liberally from the Qur’an, Cook argues that Muhammad’s political worldview proved instrumental to the survival and spread of Islam. VIII DESCENDANTS As long as Khadija lived, Muhammad took no other wives. After her death in 619, when he was 50, he eventually married nine women, including Aisha, the daughter of his kinsman and early follower Abu Bakr, who was to become the first caliph, or successor to Muhammad. He also took a Christian Coptic slave as a concubine. Muhammad's sons all died in infancy, and the only daughter to survive him was Fatima, who married Ali, the fourth caliph. © 1993-2003 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Ibn Udad
of Arabia
In ethnographic terms, Arabs belong to the Mediterranean local race, a subgroupof the Caucasoid geographic race. According to tradition, Arabs are descended from a southern Arabian ancestor, Qahtan, forebear of the "pure" or "genuine" Arabs (known as al-'Arab al-'Aribah), and a northern Arabian ancestor, 'Adnan, forebear of the "Arabicized" Arabs (al-'Arab al-Musta'ribah). A tradition, seemingly derived from the Bible, makes 'Adnan, and perhaps Qahtan also, descend from Isma'il (Ishmael), son of Abraham. The rivalry between the two groups spread,with the Muslim conquests, beyond Arabia; it even recurred in northern Yemen in the 1950s when the Zaydi imams, descendants of the Prophet Muhammad, a "northern" Arab, were called "'AdnØni." [EncyclopŒdia Britannica CD '97, ARABIA: THEPEOPLE] ---------- NOTE: Muhammad the Prophet never traced his ancestors farther than AdnØn, and declared that all who went back further were guilty of fabrication and falsehood. "Beyond AdnØn none but the Lord knows and the genealogists lie." --- Sources: Title: GEDCOM File : emsuggs.ged Author: Not Given Note: ABBR GEDCOM File : emsuggs.ged Note: Not Supplied Text: 25 OCT 2003 Title: GEDCOM File : 2746994.ged Note: ABBR GEDCOM File : 2746994.ged Page: 55 Text: 3 JAN 2004

Nebajoth
of the Old
Testament
Genesis 25:13. And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations; the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, 25:18. And they dwelt from Havilah and Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria; and he died in the presence of all his brethren. ------------------------------ Nebaioth, Nebajoth, the "first-born of Ishmael", and father of a pastoral tribe named after him, the "rams of Nebaioth" being mentionedby the prophet Isaiah with the flocks of Kedar. From the days of Jerome this people had been identified with the Nabathaeans, of whom Petra was the capital,until M. Quatremere first investigated the origin of the latter, their language, religion, and history. It is possible that Nebaioth went to the far east, to the country of his grandfather Abraham, intermarried with the Chaldaeans, andgave birth to a mixed race, the Nabat. It is, however, safest to leave unsettled the identifcation of Nebaioth and Nabat until another link be added to the chain that at present seems to connect them.

And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. 25:13.

Abraham or Abram, biblical patriarch,according to the Book of Genesis (see 11:27-25:10), progenitor of the Hebrews, who probably lived in the period between 2000 and 1500 BC. Abraham is regarded by Muslims, who call him Ibrahim, as an ancestor of the Arabs through Ishmael. He was once considered a contemporary of Hammurabi, king of Babylon Because the biblical account of his life is based on traditions preserved by oral transmission rather than by historical records, no biography in the present sense can be written. Originally called Abram, Abraham was the son of Terah, adescendant of Shern, and was born in the city of Ur of theChaldees, where he married his half sister Saral, or Sarah. They left Ur with his nephew Lot and Lot's family under a devine inspiration and went to Haran. Receiving a promise that God would make him a "great nation," Abram moved on to Canaan, where he lived as a nomad. Famine led him to Egypt but he was driven out for misrepresenting Saral as his sister. Again in Canaan,after quarrels between Abram and Lot and their herdsmen, they separated, Lot remaining near Sodom and Abram continuing his nomadic life. He later rescued Lot from the captivity of King Cliedorhiomer of Elam and was blessed by the priest Melchinedek, king of Salem. Then God promised Abram a son by his wife Sarai,repeated his earlier promises, and confirmed these by a covenant. when this covenant was later renewed, the rite of circumcision was established, Abram's name became Abraham, and Sarai became Sarah. God subsequently repeated his promise of a son by Sarah by means of visiting angels. when God informed Abraham that he intended to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah because of the wickedness of their inhabitants, Abraham pleaded with him to spare the cities. Eventually it was agreed that God would spare the cities if he could find only ten righteous men. The ten men could not be found, and God destroyed both cities. Ismael, first son of Abraharn, whose mother was Hagar, an Egyptian slave, was born when Abraham was 86 years old. Isaac,born to Abraham by Sarah in his 100th year, was the first of his legitimate descendants. God demanded that Abraham sacrafice Isaac as a test of faith, but because of Abraham's unquestioning compliance, God permitted him to spare Isaac and rewarded Abraham with a format renewal of his promise. After Sarah died,Abraham married Keturah and had six son by her. He died at the biblical age of 175 and was buried beside Sarah in the Cave of Machpelah, in what is now Hebron, West Bank. Christians,Muslims, and Jews accept Abraham as an epitome of the man of unswerving faith, a view reflected in the New Testament.
