Arabia, a vast peninsula in Western Southwest Asia, is home to the holy city of Mecca, where the prophet Muhammad was born. He spent 15 years in deep contemplation, seeking ways to reform the religious and social life of the Arab people. This led him to establish Islam in 622 CE. Initially, Islam was embraced by many who sought its teachings, but it also faced strong opposition and persecution. After Muhammad’s passing, his followers continued to spread the faith, and it flourished in Central Asia, West Asia, North Africa, Turkey, and Northwest China.
The teachings of Islam are enshrined in the Quran, which comprises 114 chapters written in Arabic. Islam emphasizes the concept of destiny and predestination. When faced with adversity, Muslims often say, “This was preordained.”
The Quran explicitly mentions the concept of reincarnation in Chapter XXX:
“Allah creates all beings, causing them to reincarnate repeatedly until they return to Him.”
