| 31 | the center of the islam religion. it is where muhammad was born, married, and discovered the islamic faith around 610 ad. muhammad tried to spread islam all through mecca but he was told to leave. this was because mecca was a place many polytheistic people made pilgrimages to worship there and they didn't want mecca to stop being the center when people followed muhammad and became monotheistic. when muhammad returned to mecca he broke all their idols and conquered them into the religion of islam. mecca had now become the center of islam. when modern muslims pray they must face the direction of mecca. according the five pillars, all able muslims must make at least one pilgrimage to mecca in their lifetime. | 2 sets |
