（单词翻译）

 For Muhammad's followers1, leaving the place of their ancestors, their families and tribes was the ultimate test of devotion. In doing so, they began a new community, a new tribe. For the first time, they were bound together not by blood, but by faith. In the course of a single caravan3 journey, Islam marks its true beginnings. Their journey is known as the Hegira4. 622 in the Christian5 calendar marks the Muslim Year One.

 
Muhammad's goal among the people of Yathrib was the same as his larger mission-- to bring unity2 and peace with his message.
 
He was asked to be a Solomonic figure to mediate6 tensions between tribes that seemed intractable.
As his work succeeded, the town would become known as the City of the Prophet -- Medina. 
 
Muhammad's great task in Medina was to try and bring together his various groups and try and forge a community of believers in a way that would bring people together in a sort of harmony. 
 
To the divided clans7 of Medina, Muhammad offered a vision of solidarity8. But even as he spread the word of Islam, he didn’t challenge the beliefs of other faiths. 
 
Islam sees itself in relationship to the earlier revealed religions of Judaism and Christianity and treats them as People of the Book. It believes that God had revealed himself, his word to mankind many times to Moses, to Jesus for example. But each time people went astray. 
 
Throughout the Koran we have a sense of the humanity of Muhammad, his humbleness9 as a person and the extraordinary challenge of the mission he was given by this divine revelation. 
 
As the Muslim community grew in Medina, a life of simple devotion and ritual developed. A freed Abyssinian slave named Bilal was the first to call believers to prayer at Muhammad's house. It was the first mosque10.
 
The call to prayer has recounted the first Islamic pillar which is the affirmation of God's unity, la ilaha illa Llah, that beautiful phrase which many Muslims chant over and over in their mind or vocally11, to constantly remind themselves of unity of God and unity of what we should focus on in our life.
