The Qur'an is supposedly God's message delivered to Mohammed.\n\nThe Hadith are recollections of things Mohammed said and did.\n\nBoth are a source of sharia law.

This is not an exhaustive list..... \n\n1 : Our belief is simple , One God . Mohammed (SAW) is His last Prophet.\n\n2 : Islam is a religion of peace , there is no doubt about that. The fault is in the follower not the the religion itself just like any other religion.\n\n3 : We mean no harm , we come in peace :)\n\n4 : Our woman arent as down trodden as think they are.\n\n5 : We dont live in mountains , arent poor and dont live in really backward areas like most of you imagine.\n\n6 : Live and Let Live.\n\n7 : Islam opposes transgressors openly and without doubt.\n\n8 : we do get satellite and watch ( and sometimes laugh ) CNN and Fox\n\n9 : If we hold some values sacred , you should atleast respect that and not make fun of it.\n\n10 : Social liberties do not include making mockery out of any other religion. West calls it civilized , so should act like it.\n\n11 :We all wonder and think the west has become more barbaric and is killing ALOT of innocent ppl in the name of war on terror.\n\n12 : You can not go around taking over countries just because you felt like it.\n\n13 : Dont believe everything you read or watch in the media. Try to do some research of your own.\n\n!4 : We donot treat our women like commodities and respect and protect them. There are some extreme cases but where doesnt that happen ? Cannt judge the whole society based on a few test cases.\n\n15 : Suicide bombing is an act of cowardice , muslims history shows clearly that muslims have fought wars with bravery and openly. Which is totally the opposite of these suicide attacks.

The common story all muslims mention about Mohammad not being able to read or write is not actually true and there are different facts which could support what i said. First of all, as we know Muhammad was in charge of all Business activities and tradings of his first wife Khadijah. Such responsibility required him to at least know how to read, write and do simple calculations. The other story which is mentioned in almost all famous islamic books is the fact than when Muhammad was about to die he asked for a paper and a pen to write something so Muslims won't deviate from the path of God. Such stories clearly show that he knew how to read and write but did not want others to know it so he could sell his stories better !

Guys above - believe me muslims learn from all the prophets. Mosques are not secret organisations. Go to the Jumrah (prayers) on Fridays and listen to the sermon - anyone is welcome to listen.\n\nMohammed (pbuh) is the final prophet not the only one.

http://members.iinet.net.au/~asmaazam/what_doyou_know.htm\n\nTHE RELIGION OF ISLAM The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word \n\n"Islam" itself means. The religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of Christianity which was \n\nnamed after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. \n\nNor was it named after a tribe like Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus. Islam is the \n\ntrue religion of "Allah" and as such, its name represents the central principle of Allah's "God's" religion; \n\nthe total submission to the will of Allah "God". The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's \n\nwill to the only true god worthy of worship "Allah" and anyone who does so is termed a "Muslim",Islam is the \n\nreligion which was given to Adam, the first man and the first prophet of Allah, and it was the religion \n\nof all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind. The name of God's religion lslam was not decided upon by later \n\ngenerations of man. It was chosen by Allah Himself and clearly mentioned in His final revelation to man. In the \n\nfinal book of divine revelation, the Qur'aan, Allah states the following: "This day have I perfected your religion \n\nfor you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion". (Soorah Al-Maa'idah 5:3) "If \n\nanyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah (God) never will It be accepted of Him" (Soorah \n\nAal'imraan 3:85) "Abraham was not a Jew nor Christian; but an upright Muslim." (Soorah Aal'imraan 3:67)

Prophet Mohammad wrote the Quran, the foundation of Islam. Muslim means "one who submits" and Islam means "submission". These are references to submitting to God and His will. It is related to the Jewish faith in that Muslims believe that there has forever been only one faith. It just gets regular updates from Allah when needed. So ... God sent Prophet Moses. Latter God sent Prophet Jesus. Then God sent Prophet Mohammad. In Islam this represents a steady, unbroken stream of faith. And for what its worth ... Arabic and Aramaic are closely related languages. Aramaic would have been the everyday language Jesus used. The word for God is the same in both. Its Allah.

Osama IS NOT the leader of Islam he is a radical terrorist who uses and manipulates the teaching of the Quran to promote his own political agenda. Islam preaches peace and submission. I was raised Cristian and and Converted. I was very ignorant before I picked up a Quran myself and read it. Please do not fall into the trap of believing only what you hear and see from the Media. I have many reason to back everything up and if you want a personal discussion about this I would love to IM.

Muhammad (SAW). Last prophet of Allah and Islam.

MOHAMMED, known as the Prophet of Islam, was born of the esteemed Qoreish tribes in Mecca on the 20th of April. The chief occupation of his tribe was trade. \n\nThe Islamic Prophet led a life of simplicity and poverty. His house, built of mud walls and thatched with date-palm leaves, often remained dark for want of oil for the lamp. At times he did not even have the flour with which to prepare bread. \n\nMohammed's father was Abdullah. He died while returning from a journey to Medina. His mother died six years later, leaving Mohammed in the care of his uncle, Abu Talib. His mother's name was Amna. \n\nMohammed was illiterate but from an early age he showed a remarkable aptitude for concentration. He was a serious child and never took part in pranks or frolic. \n\nWhen he grew up he earned a great reputation for his honesty and integrity. He always fulfilled his promises. Because he was extremely trustworthy, he became known as Al-Amin. \n\nOne day, Mohammed accompanied his uncle to Syria on business. On the journey he met Bahera, a Christian monk, who immediately recognized in the young boy a future prophet. \n\nWhen Mohammed was twenty-five years old he married Khadija, a rich widow of Mecca, then forty years of age. She was a gentle woman of spotless character. \n\nTHE BIRTH OF ISLAM\n\nMohammed frequently went to a cave in the desert three miles from Mecca, where he would spend months in prayer and meditation. One morning, the angel Gabriel appeared to him and said: "Rise, for thou art the Prophet of God. Go forth and preach in the name of thy Lord. Your God is merciful." A voice was heard - the voice of the Lord - addressed to the Prophet. It was recorded and became the text of the holy Koran. The Koran is not a literary work of Mohammed; it is a direct revelation of the Lord. \n\nWhen he returned from the cave, Mohammed was filled with divine majesty. On informing his wife of the vision he had, she said, "You are faithful and never utter an untruth. Therefore, you may obey the call and follow the voice." Khadija was the first disciple to profess faith in the Prophet. She became his disciple and the first follower of Islam. \n\nMohammed delivered public sermons on his faith to a large number of people, proclaiming the unity of God and denouncing the evil of drunkenness and impurity. Though some ridiculed and turned away, others were converted by the power of his words. \n\nOnce, he went to the Kaaba and proclaimed that there was no God but Allah. The worshippers of idols looked upon this as a great insult and attacked him, but he was rescued by his disciples. He was abused and insulted frequently in public. \n\nThe Prophet of Islam did not hold any debates nor did he challenge anyone to controversies and discussions. He silently converted people to his faith through his strong personality, charming demeanor and force of divine virtues. He bore with patience the persecution of his tormentors. His characteristics as well as the power of the verses of the Koran captivated the hearts of people. \n\nTHE SPREAD OF ISLAM\n\nMohammed fled from Mecca to Medina in 622 A.D. when he learned that the Qoreish tribe planned to take his life. The Muslim calendar begins on the day of this flight, known as the Hijra. \n\nThe people of Medina accepted Mohammed's faith readily because it was plain, simple and direct. With their help and with an army of men the Prophet later returned to Mecca, where he succeeded in converting his relatives and fellowmen. He then sent missionaries to other parts of Arabia in order to convert the entire peninsula to the new faith. \n\nThe teaching of Mohammed attracted numerous followers because they came from a simple and honest man who never posed as a world teacher. He often told his disciples that he was an ordinary man as they were, teaching them to believe in Allah and His revelations. \n\nCOMPASSION IN ACTION\n\nMohammed had great compassion and love. He served the widows a

Who is Muhammad (PBUH)?\n\n    Muhammad (PBUH), was born in Makkah in the year 570, at a time when Christianity was not yet fully established in Europe. Since his father died before his birth, and his mother shortly afterwards, he was raised by his uncle from the respected tribe of Quraysh. As he grew up, he became known for his truthfulness, generosity and sincerity, so that he was sought after for his ability to arbitrate in disputes. The historians describe him as calm and meditative.\nMuhammad (PBUH) was of a deeply religious nature, and had long detested the decadence of his society. It became his habit to meditate from time to time in the Cave of Hira near the summit of Jabal al-Nur, the 'Mountain of Light' near Makkah.\n\nHow did Muhammad (PBUH) become a prophet and a messenger of God?\n    At the age of 40, while engaged in a meditative retreat, Muhammad (PBUH) received his first revelation from God through the Angel Gabriel. This revelation, which continued for twenty-three years, is known as the Quran.\n    The Mountain of Light where Gabriel came to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).\n    As soon as he began to recite the words he heard from Gabriel, and to preach the truth which God had revealed to him, he and his small group of followers suffered bitter persecution, which grew so fierce that in the year 622 God gave them the command to emigrate. This event, the Hijra, 'migration', in which they left Makkah for the city of Madinah some 260 miles to the north, marks the beginning of the Muslim calendar.\nAfter several years, the Prophet and his followers were able to return to Makkah, where they forgave their enemies and established Islam definitively. Before the Prophet died at the age of 63, the greater part of Arabia was Muslim, and within a century of his death Islam had spread to Spain in the West and as far East as China.\n\nExamples of the Prophet`s sayings\n    The Prophet said:\n\n    'God has no mercy on one who has no mercy for others.'\n\n    'None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself.'\n\n    'He who eats his fill while his neighbor goes without food is not a believer. '\n\n    'The truthful and trusty businessman is associated with the prophets the saints, and the martyrs.'\n\n    'Powerful is not he who knocks the other down, indeed powerful is he who controls himself in a fit of anger. '\n\n    'God does not judge according to your bodies and appearances but He scans your hearts and looks into your deeds.'\n\n    'A man walking along a path felt very thirsty. Reaching a well he descended into it, drank his fill and came up. Then he saw a dog with its tongue hanging out, trying to lick up mud to quench its thirst. The man saw that the dog was feeling the same thirst as he had felt so he went down into the well again and filled his shoe with water and gave the dog a drink. God forgave his sins for this action.' The Prophet was asked: 'Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?' He said, 'There is a reward for kindness to every living thing.'\n\nTo to the person who said we do not know if he existed:  Proof lies in Hadith, the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).  The fact that Islam exists today is proof that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon) existed.
