The answer is OPTION 4: Mecca is located on the coastal plain near the Red Sea.

Mecca is a city located within a valley and surrounded by desert. It is in southwestern Saudi Arabia in the region of Hejazi and Tihamah, which it's a coastal plain near the Red Sea.

The other options are incorrect because:

  1. Islamic law isn't decided in Mecca, it was already determined by Muhammad's revelation of the Quran, a holy book that holds the Islamic laws. The older Quran was written in Mecca while the later Quran was written in Medina.
  2. It wasn't the site where Allah lived, Allah is Muslims' God, and according to the Quran, he has never lived in earth. Mecca is actually considered the holiest city in the religion of Islam because it was the birthplace of Muhammad, a prophet and a founder of Islam, and the place where he stated that Allah revealed their holy book.
  3. Mecca wasn't always an Islamic city, meaning that people from different religions resided there before the Muhammad's revelation (609 CE - 632 CE).
