Question one

Question one
Islamic religion enjoyed great political and religious strength in the past because of their leader Prophet Muhammad under the support of their Allah. The community was very organized and united under their leader as opposed to their enemies who fought on their basis without a central command base. The Quran reports that the Muslims were supported by all means with their God, as it is believed that God sent over 3000 angels to help them in the war. The third image of the army in the battle of Badr shows a clearly organized army under Prophet Muhammad with an Angel of Allah watching over them. The Islamic community also enjoyed religious strength because of the revelations that God sent to them through their prophet from time to time.
Question two
Islam was a single world with shared meaning implying that they were always united. Even after Muhammad had been forced out of Mecca, he found some 300 followers at Medina who were of his clan and remained loyal to him. They had strong belief that they were fighting for the divine intervention point of view as opposed to human ingenuity. The Islamic religion proves unique as seen from their treatment of those who had been captured during the war. The Prophet directed his people to treat the slaves as their brothers and to provide them with the basic needs assuming them as their brothers. The issue of conflicting communities is indicated from the time the Prophet was forced out of Mecca. He is further attacked by more than 1000 men at Badr in western Arab.

The stiff violence that the Islamic people received from the surrounding communities prompted their Allah to protect them through the wars thus giving them victory and making them recognized in the Arabian land.
Question three
The Islamic religion has proved to be distinct and unique through their expansion and the steps taken by their leader after they captured other societies. Prophet Muhammad emphasized on brotherhood whereby, the captured were to be treated fairly until they could earn enough to buy their freedom. He requested the Islamic people to offer food and accommodation to them the same way they provided for their families. The transformation saw Islamic become a friendly group that was liked by all people in the area as opposed to the previous perspective.
Question four
The images indicate that the Islamic world was very conservative and did not at any single point try to use the experienced power that the Prophet had to make him an idol. This is seen through the blurred faces of the Prophet in all the images. The last image even indicates their effort to destroy all idols that were worshiped in the areas that they took over. The images also show strong unity among all the Islamic people as justified in the third image where the soldiers are under their leader as one team. The first and the third image show how the Muslims were civilized having taken all the necessary initiatives to display their traditional way of life under the Prophet without arousing the attention to worship Prophet Muhammad. The first and the second image show their leader worshiping, thus serving as an example to them. Besides, the third image has blurred the face of the Prophet to prevent any attention that can make people worship him. In general, the impression of the images creates a neutral civilization position of the Islamic people.
Question five
The Islamic history is different from the Buddhist and the Christian history in the early century because of the different initiatives taken by their leader. Prophet Muhammad played a significant role as a political leader to protect his fledgling community from external invasions. Jesus and Buddha did not take any initiative in staging war against any other group. Similarly, the Islamic history has blurred all the images to prevent any form of idolatry of worshiping the Prophet. However, the other two religions especially Christianity displays full clear pictures of Jesus and even advocate people to Worship God through him. Islamic History shows their Prophet having more than one wife, while the Christian History does not point out any scenario where Jesus had a wife on earth. The Islamic history is different from the others having shown their fight for their religion through the Prophet.
