До ісламу араби були ідолопоклонниками, тобто поклонялись різним богом, ангелам і демонам. Мекка традиційно була їхнім релігійним центром, в ній налічувалось 360 святилищ і невеликий храм – Кааба, всередині якого знаходився Чорний Камінь, що існує і нині. Вважається, що Чорний Камінь ще в давнину був переданий Аврааму архангелом Джабриілом (Гаврилом – у християнській традиції).
Мохаммед на основі своїх видінь заявив, що Аллах є єдиний істинний Бог. Оточення пророка не підтримало його, і він змушений був залишити Мекку. З цього часу бере відлік ісламський календар (622р.н.е.).
До самої смерті Мохаммед продовжував переказувати різні видіння та одкровення, котрі ретельно записувались. Так з’явився Коран (буквально – збірка віршів).
Мусульмани вважають Мохаммеда найголовнішим і останнім пророком Божим.

The Bible
Bible is the sacred scriptures of Judaism and Christianity. The Christian Bible consists of the Old Testament and the New Testament, with the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox versions of the Old Testament being slightly larger because of their acceptance of certain books and parts of books considered apocryphal by Protestants. The Jewish Bible includes only the books known to Christians as the Old Testament. The arrangements of the Jewish and Christian canons differ considerably. The Protestant and Roman Catholic arrangements more nearly match one another.

You have heard that it was said: “An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth”. But I tell you not to resist him who is evil; rather whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
You have heard that it was said: ”You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy”. But I say to you: “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”
But take care not for your righteousness before men in order to be gazed at by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in the Heavens.
No one can serve two masters.
Do not judge, that you be nor judged.
Ask and it shell be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you. (From the Gospel according to Matthew).
