Abstract
The geographical expansion of the Islamic faith was somewhat limited during the life of the Prophet Muhammad (c. A.D.570-632) when compared to the centuries following his death. He received his first revelations around A.D.610 according to traditional accounts, and the remaining 20-odd years of his life witnessed the initial rejection of Muhammad's claims in his native city of Mecca, the migration of the Prophet and his followers to the Arabian city of Medina, their establishment and acceptance there, and the gradual fanning out of the Muslims through the surrounding areas by conquest and conversion. This process culminated during the life of the Prophet in his being acknowledged as Prophet by his native city of Mecca and the conversion to Islam of the inhabitants of this Arabian city.
