Islam Begins

Islam began billions of years ago. Allah (Meaning God in Arabic) made the first man and woman to set foot on Earth. Their names were Adam and Hawwa or Adam and Eve. Adam (Alayhissalaam) was sent down first and he was made a prophet of Allah. He was sent to spread the message of Islam when there was a bigger population. Adam and Hawwa got married in Heaven. As a test, Allah commanded them to never take a fruit from a specific tree in heaven. They both listened to Allah but many years later, Shaytaan or Saytan told them to take a fruit from that tree and they both listened. Allah got angry with them and sent them to

live on Earth. On Earth, they gave birth to two sets of twins, two girls and two boys. They had children and spread the message then their children had children and so on.

Interesting Facts

Did you know that Prophet Idris or Enoch was the first prophet to use a pen and write?

Did you know that it was a black man named Bilal that first called out the Islamic call to prayer?

Did you know Muslims that invented the astrolib and algebra?

Did you know that Muslims believe that we were all born Muslims and that's why if you convert to Islam it's not called convert, it's called revert because your coming back to your baby religion?

Changes

A long time later, the Muslims who forgot everything of Islam decided to make up their own religions such as, Idol worshiping, Christianity, Judasim and many other. People became racist and terrible over each other, forgetting that they were once Muslims.... Some forgot the religion of Islam but knew that the other religions could not be right. Others kept on changing the ways of Islam such as the ones who made up Christianity. Some of the things in the Bible are the same as in the Quran because they kept some Islamic information from the past in the Bible. People kept fighting each other over whose religion was correct when they all started off with the same religion!

Islam was still around and spread by prophets over time but some people went astray even though Allah sent down prophets!
