Muhammad was a very kind and considerate person. He cared about the well-being of everyone, especially the poor. He thought that everyone should be fed and that the rich should help feed them.But not everyone liked this. Leaders, mechants and other rich people hated him. he told them that they should worship only one god instead of many. Nobody liked this. So  they ran him out of the city of Mecca. He was forced to go like in the city of Madina.
     Muhammad left town with only a few followers, including his wife and daughter. They stayed in Madina, but while they were gone other people left Mecca to come to Muhammad. They started to listen to him. They wanted to hear what he had to say. Those people became known as Muslims, followers of Islam. In the region of Islam, every Muslim is expected to give food to the poor, Muhammad wrote that in the Qur'an or the Islamic holy book. Muhammad wanted this because he too was a rich merchant and he saw all of the poor begging for food or money. He didn't like that at all so in his religion he taught people to help them.
