Audience- Josh Raymond



The audience of Islam was in the beginning mostly people found in the Middle East, but it has spread to the rest of the world through quicker communication abilities. The earliest form of this audience started as a “ religious tradition that developed in the Middle East in the 7th century C.E.,” (Religion Library: Islam). At this time, the audience was just people found in the Middle East. This was mostly because of the long time it took for information to travel in this time period. In modern times however, the audience is the whole world, which is now more easily achieved through tools like the internet. The affect Islam has on the worldwide audience is making them believe in its form of a god. To be more exact, the message of the Islam religion is, “ Islam is the worship of Allah alone and the avoidance of worship directed to any person, place or thing other than Allah,” (Philips). So the overall affect Islam tries to have on its audience is to make them believe in “Allah alone” and to go through different steps to achieve this, such as prayer or worship.

=History- Alan Beall= The history of Islam traces back to 632 of the Current Era with the death of Muhammad, the founder of the Muslim community. The religion split up into two groups that had different beliefs on Muhammad. The Religion then spread across the world.
