Answer:

A. In which region of the world did the Muslim religion originate?

Explanation:

Islam is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the Koran, which establishes as a fundamental premise (shahada) for its believers that "There is no God but Allah and Mohammed is the last messenger of Allah"

Islam is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion that exclusively worships Allah without partners. It is the second largest religion in the world, after Christianity and the one with the highest growth in terms of followers, who are estimated to reach 1.8 billion or 25% of the population, known as Muslims. Muslims are the majority of the population in 50 countries.

Islam began with the preaching of Muhammad in 622 in Mecca (in present-day Saudi Arabia). Under the leadership of Muhammad and his successors, Islam spread rapidly. There is a discrepancy between Muslims and non-Muslims of whether it was extended by religious or military imposition, or by conversion of peoples to Islam.
