Islam had its beginning as Muhammad fled from the city of Mecca to the city of Yathrib in 622 A.D. The name of the city was changed to Medina - "The City" - the city of the prophet. A few years later, Muhammad and his people returned to Mecca, and with the power of the sword, began the spread of Islam.

As we read the New Testament, one of the continual recurring themes is that we are in a spiritual battle. As we study Islam we can rejoice that the God of Truth has made a way of escape. "Jesus said, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" (John 14:6). The way is still open to all who choose to accept it - even a Muslim.
