Torah

Psalms
), the
Injeel
(
Gospel

Scrolls of Abraham

Muhammad united Arabia into a single Muslim polity, with the Qur'an forming the basis of Islamic religious belief. Muslim conquests following Muhammad's death led to the creation of the Arab caliphates, occupying a vast geographical area. The Islamic conquests culminated in the Arab Empire being established across three continents (Asia, Africa, and Europe). Today, there are about 1.57 billion Muslims in the world, which is about 1 person in every 4 people. The Muslim population continues to grow.

The Prophet of Islam was a religious, political, and social reformer who gave rise to one of the great civilizations of the world.

From the perspective of the Islamic faith, he was God's Messenger (ras?l All?h), called to be a "warner," first to the Arabs and then to all humankind.
