Timeline refelction

Timeline reflection:

                During Muhammad’s life he had many events that really shaped who he was. In my opinion, there were three events in particular that had the biggest impact on his life. The first was by 575 ad, both his parents had already passed away. This is significant because it allowed Muhammad to become closer with his community. Also it gave him validity because he was preaching the word of God and he himself had an ambiguity on his beginnings, it makes him seem more convincing. Second, in 610 ad, when he had his first revelation. This was a huge event in Muhammad’s life because this is when he was first visited by a divine power, it was at this moment when he gained spiritual significance and it would shape the rest of his life. Lastly, in 630 when he marched into Mecca without any bloodshed. This event holds significance because it really solidifies Islam has a powerful religion. Muhammad was able to gain a lot of followers and they were so respected that they were able to walk into Mecca without any bloodshed. This is a true example of his power.
