    Jesus Christ’s birth is celebrated around the world on the 25th of December also know as Christmas but Jesus was not actually born on the 25th of December.

Mohammed originally called Halabi was said to be born around 570, A.D. at what is known as Mecca.…

    Muhammad is the central figure of Islam instead.. He is known to Muslims as the "Holy Prophet", almost all of whom consider him to be the last prophet sent by God to mankind to restore Islam. Islam was founded on the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad as an expression of surrender to the will of Allah, the creator and Sustainer of the world. Muhammad was born in Mecca. He was raised by his uncle and he became a successful merchant. Later, he married Khadijah. In his forties, he began to retire to meditate in a cave on Mount Hira, just outside Mecca, where the first of the great events of Islam took place. One day, as he was sitting in the cave, he heard a voice, later identified as that of the Angel Gabriel, which ordered him to “proclaim”. Muhammad spent the next three years seeking truth for himself, he shared that the faith in Allah was the only way to paradise. He also converted others to this new faith. Muhammad claimed he was a prophet and started degrading the pagan faiths of the vast majority of the Macon pilgrims, the town elders realized it was bad. One night, they entered his home to stab him, but he escaped to Yathrib. He used military forces to spread his faith, he defeated the soldiers of Mecca In 630 C.E., Muhammad entered Mecca and destroyed the idols of Kaaba, declaring once and for all that only one god-allah-would be allowed within the city’s borders.

    Fatima, the daughter of prophet Mohamed, married Ali. Ali then became the fourth caliph of Isalm but not all the people were pleased with that which consequently split the people into two groups; the orthodox Muslim were known as Sunnis and the family of Ali, the Fatimites named after his wife Fatima were known as Shi’ites. The Fatimites believed to be the followers of the “Divine Right” and intended to conquer the Arab world and, to their belief, lead them to the right religious path. At the end of the 9th century a Shi’ite missionary went to Barbary and attained political and spiritual influence over the Berbers. Following by example of prophet Mohammed, Ali formed a large army in 908. Although they extended their rules to almost all of North Africa still they had intended to capture Egypt. Mo’izz, the Fatimite Caliph, was a cultured man and a just ruler who was different. When he first entered Cairo he didn’t murder all the population, which was the usual case upon conquering a new land at that time, but he wanted to form a new city “Al-Kahira” – Cairo.…
