'passage': 'محمد که از روش زندگی مردم مکه ناخشنود بود، گهگاه در غار حرا در یکی از کوه\u200cهای اطراف آن دیار به تفکر و عبادت می\u200cپرداخت. به باور مسلمانان، محمد در همین مکان و در حدود ۴۰ سالگی از طرف خدا به پیامبری برگزیده، و وحی بر او فروفرستاده شد. در نظر آنان، دعوت محمد همانند دعوت دیگر پیامبرانِ کیش یکتاپرستی مبنی بر این بود که خداوند (الله) یکتاست و تسلیم شدن برابر خدا راه رسیدن به اوست.',
