For the first part, we watched the movie, Islam Empire of Faith and it talked mainly about Muhammad, how Islam was formed, and the ottomans.

I was not really surprised but more like I thought it is ridiculous that Muhammad was the messenger of God and the angel came to him in a cave. But, I am not trying to be mean but seriously? I thought it was weird because I never would have thought of any angels coming to you and told you that you would be the messenger of God’s. It kind of reminds me of Virgin Mary, she was approached by an angel, Gabriel and was told that she would be pregnant with God’s baby. Since Muhammad was the messenger of God’s and I was not really shocked to learn that Muhammad was needed to be removed soon, and run him out of town that villagers think. I learned that when I was practicing and studying to be a Roman Catholic when I was little. I felt that story is a lot similar to what I had learned back then, maybe it was about Muhammad. I don’t really remember whether it was really him or not because IShow MoreRelatedIslam: Empire of Faith1335 Words   |  6 PagesIn the movie Islam of Faith Part 1, the narrator starts off with the translation of azan to highlight the strong words and the strength of faith.
