I chose to research this question because there was some terror attack which Muslim people were related and I was interested in how Islam was created. Also, I wanted to know the difficulties that Muhammad had to make a new religion. From what I knew about Muslims, there weren't any positive thing about it so I wanted to research about it.
Creation of Islam
Creation of Islam
Creation of Islam was that Muhammad told about Allah and that everybody was equal and god doesn’t judge by how rich or how poor you are. A lot of people who listened to him first were his family or friends or poor people. The places he had his first followers was in Mecca where he lived for most of his life. After they believed about Allah is the only god, they will be Muslim. The time period that Muhammad was alive was around 570 AD and have died 632 AD.

War and fights
War and fights
During 624 Ad to 627 AD, there were two war/fights between Mecca and Muslims and a fight with Medina and Muslims.
- Muslim won the first and the last war but lost the second war. The first war was called Battle of Badr and it happened because Meccan did not like to have a new religion and about 1000 men attend to the war to destroy Islam. It is called Battle of Badr becuase the place they fought was in Badr.
- The second fight was called Battle of Uhud and it was a revenge from Mecca because they have lost in a previous fight. Muslim lost because, before the fight, a lot of Muslim moved to another place in Saudi Arabia so they had fewer people to fight back at Meccans. The reason why it is called Battle of Uhud is that they fought in from Mountain Uhud.
- The third fight was Battle of the Trench. It was a fight to protecting themselves from an attack of Medina. Medina is a somewhat close city from Mecca and it is about 500 km away. This battle was fought in Medina which means Islam started the fight. It is named Battle of the Trench becuase because they used Trench to win against Medina.

Answer
Answer
The religion was not against Islam but people who were against Muhammad and the followers were mostly the people who lived in Mecca. Mecca is a city in Saudi Arabia where Muhammad was born and grew up for most of his life. Meccan didn’t like or was scared of having a new religion and especially religion which was monotheistic. They were afraid that their gods will do something bad to them so they have been trying to defeat or to destroy Islam. This is also a reason why the war had happened.
