Six hundred years after Christ, while Christians fiercely quarreled over obscure points of theology and emperors wielded creeds as instruments of political power, in the forgotten deserts of central Arabia, the Arabs still recited their verses in a tongue more ancient than Biblical Hebrew.
For centuries, they chanted beneath the spell of spirits and false gods—until one fateful night, a sage from Mecca, deep in prayer and meditation within a lonely cave, was overcome not by a wild spirit, but by the Angel of Revelation himself: Gabriel.
Gabriel—the same Spirit of Truth who brought God’s word to Moses, the prophets, and Jesus the Messiah—now came again. And from the silence of that cave, the chant rose in the ancient Semitic tongue: LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH—no one deserves to be worshiped except Allah.
The Israelites and Moses had called Him Elohim—in Hebrew. Jesus, in his native Aramaic, called Him Alaha. The Arabs knew Him as Allah. Yet for generations, many had turned away, abandoning His worship for that of stones, spirits, and ancestors.
Muhammad came as a warner, proclaiming the coming of a Final Day—when Allah would judge all of His creation. He called his people to worship the One True God, without partners or intermediaries, and to uphold the justice of the Almighty. His message offered even the lowliest of sinners a path—a way back to repentance, redemption, and the promise of Paradise.
