"ISLAM"

Covered in silver and gold, the walls of the house of worship shimmer in the light. The people turn toward the niche in the wall that tells them they are facing Mecca, their holy city. They pray. These Muslims are carrying on a religious tradition that dates to the A.D. 600's. That was when Arabian people united behind a prophet named Muhammad and the Islamic faith began. During the next 800 years, the Islamic Empire grew to rule lands stretching from the Near East to western Europe.
