Rise and Impact of Islam
Muhammad (570–632)
“The unbelievers have this day abandoned all hope of vanquishing your religion. Have no fear of them: fear Me. This day I have perfected your religion for you and completed My favor to you. I have chosen Islam to be your faith.” (Koran 5.3)
“He has revealed to you the Book with the truth, confirming the scriptures which preceded it; for He has already revealed the Torah and the Gospel for the guidance of men, and the distinction between right and wrong.” (Koran: 3.1-4)
