I mean, relatively speaking. It was created in the 7th century, more than half a millennium after the death and resurrection of Christ. However, it became such a definitive part of a large part of the world from that point on, easily displacing Christianity and other religions in the Middle East before rapidly spreading further. I mean, this random 40 year old merchant starts claiming he’s the final prophet of God and by the time of his death 20 years later, he’s amassed an army of followers and converted most of the Arabian Peninsula into his personal empire.
I’m not a Muslim and I alway assumed it was a few hundred years older than that just because of how secure it was in the Middle East by the early Middle Ages. It’s amazing that it spread so far and in such a short period of time.
