From Babylon to Timbuktu pg. 45 "After Mohammed became a camel driver, he traveled to remote and intriguing lands. He led his caravans to Persia, Syria, and Egypt, transacting business with merchants of every kind. On his business trips, he met Jews, Christians and members of other sects. He interrogated them on the tenets of their religions. He frequented the environment of the Jews and their rabbis, mostly because they were merchants and an omnipresent merchant group. Because he could not read or write, his ears were attentive and keen to everything that the Jews related to him. Mohammed learned and extracted much from the Jewish religion, and compounded it with his new religion, Islam."

2) On a pilgrimage to the temple in Mecca, some of Yathrib’s best citizens had been converted by the teachings of Mohammed when lived in Mecca.

Finally the pilgrims returned to Yathrib and disseminated their new religion. These converts could readily accept Islam because they were influenced to a great extent by the concept of the one God of the Israelites. Eventually, Mohammed was proclaimed ruler of the city, and in his honor, the name of Yathrib was changed to Medina.

The Second Stage of the Islamic Revolution:

So it was with Mohammed, He had come to a point of no return. He became a religious extremist in order to give his people a better life on a rapid scale. Mohammed came to the conclusion that all means of persuasion had been exhausted. The period of patience was past and he was now determined to propagate his religion by the sword.

For he said: “I last of the prophets, am sent with a sword! The sword is the key to heaven and hell. All who draw it in the name of Faith will be rewarded!” Mohammed became a martial prophet, and the pagans and stubborn Israelites became his victims.

In the year 627 the Battle of the Foss occured. The Israelites were defeated by the armies of Mohammed. Seven hundred Israelites were gathered in the market place and offered the alternative “the Koran or the sword.” But the devout Hebrews were accustomed to martyrdom. They did not hesitate in their choice. Mohammed carried out his bestial threat, excuted the Hebrews, and the women were sold.

There was another city northeast of Medina called Chaibar. This city was the headquarters of the Hebrew power in Arabia. After a long siege, the city capitulated to Mohammed. Under the rulership of Omar, the Israelites of Chaibar were transplanted to Syria. Mohammed attacked tribe after tribe and caravan after caravan that were going to the city of Mecca. These acts enraged the Meccans and they equipped a large army to destroy Mohammed. In ensuing battle Mohammed was almost killed.

Finally, the prophet marshaled his forces and entered the city of Mecca. The entire city was abandoned because its inhabitants were afraid of Mohammed. Mohammed decimated the idols in Mecca. However, he did not demolish the Temple. When the Meccans saw that Mohammed did not destroy their Temple, they returned to the city and joined his religion.

The third stage of any revolution:

Is marked by the preservation and continuation of the new order. The successor of Mohammed was Abu Bekr; he was called Caliph. Abu Bekr wrote down the speeches and sermons of Mohammed. By this time, Islam held a tenacious grip over the lives of the Arabians.
