Is Islam One with God?

Is Islam One with God?
Islam began in 610 CE, when Prophet Muhammad received his first revelation in Mecca, according to Islamic tradition. This event is considered the starting point of Islam, as it marks the beginning of the divine revelations that would later become the Quran.

Note: Many years after Christ

Mecca, or Makkah, is the holiest city in Islam, located in the western region of Saudi Arabia. It's the birthplace of Prophet Muhammad and the location of the Kaaba, Islam's most sacred shrine, which is the center of the Great Mosque (Masjid al-Haram). Mecca is also the destination for the annual Hajj pilgrimage, a mandatory journey for able-bodied Muslims who can afford it.

Note: Matthew 24:26; Jesus says “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it.

Does the Prophet Muhammad come from the desert?

While Prophet Muhammad was born in the city of Mecca, which is located in the desert, it's important to clarify that he wasn't born in the desert itself. Mecca is a mountainous town in the high desert plateau of western Arabia. He was raised in the desert, as it was common practice to send infants to live with Bedouin families, according to Islamic tradition.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Place of Birth:

.

Prophet Muhammad was born in Mecca, a town known for its bustling trade and religious significance.

Desert Environment:

.

Mecca is situated in a mountainous desert plateau, making it a desert city, but not the desert in the traditional sense.

Early Life in the Desert:

.

As a young infant, Prophet Muhammad was sent to live with a Bedouin family in the desert as part of a common practice. This practice was believed to promote the health and resilience of children.

Later Life:

.

He later returned to Mecca and continued to live there until his emigration to Medina.

Note: 1 Corinthians 13:1-4 says If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

As I've examined, some verses in the Quran, such as 47:4, or 9:29, directly tell them to kill the people who reject Islam or God. I found this kind of disturbing, considering that Islam is supposed to believe in the one true God and follow the image of God, and welcome all people, and if the Quran is the word of Allah himself, God can punish people himself because he is the creator.

Note: For Example- In the story from Genesis, the King of Egypt, Pharaoh, was not actively prevented from sleeping with Abraham's wife, Sarah. Instead, the Bible tells that God intervened to protect Sarah. God caused Pharaoh to be stricken with sicknes
