what is islam in political and relgiouss sense
Islam born out of the mind of muhammmad was a political dictate, came into being as a pursuit to achieve an impactful life. He had certain issues with the pagans of that time and having born into them he wanted to created a different society, he married a jewish girl who was older than he was, he learned about judaism from her and copied it to create islam, not having able to read and write, he learned it orally from her.
now although it is debatable whether the condition of people during that time was really bad or not, but given that it was arabia, it has always been dry state and at that time when growing crops was a luxury it is not hard to believe that the people over there could be in conflict with eachother all the time, so in order to resolve it and make it fall under one umbrella, and to conquer other states to provide better condition for his people and himself, he created Islam. which is evident by understanding that islam is nothing but commandments by which muslims are expected to adhere to.
he didnt forbid taking female slaves and made a patriachical society by which a man can marry upto 4 women but a woman only one, and children to be taken as a gift of god, which isnt a bad thing but having observed it muslims dont indulge in family planning.
In short islam is laws, by following which it claims peace is achievable, it makes a claim that by applying it a person will achieve peace, although a idea of peace in itself is debatable of existence but that is another matter.
he believed the way he saw everything to be is right way, and forced in a mental blockade sense in the lives of other people and his followers there laws; he lured others, particularly people belonging to his own tribe by luring them with better life. Hee probably did that because the jewish faith that he had seen which was probably more prosperous at that time, would make life better for him as a trader, a warlord and off course sexually he would take more woman.
