What do you(as non muslim person)know about islam religion?
154684
<*>I know that it started about 600 yrs after the birth of Christ.\n2. It agrees with much of our Old and New Testament teachings but distorts them.\n3. I know they do not accept Jesus as God nor do they understand or accept the Trinity.\n4. I've heard that they think that mary the mother of Jesus was the sister of Moses\n5. I know they do not think Jesus died on the cross or that he was resurected.\n6. I know that it is a religion that depends on good works for salvation and concequently has no assurance of salvation.\nI have many other details but those are the most important ones I think.

Yes\nIt is Islam.\n\nIslam, a name given by Allah to this religion (Quran 5:4), is an Arabic word which literally means obedience and peace. ISLAM is derived from the Arabic root "SALEMA": peace, purity, submission and obedience. So 'Islam' would mean the path of those who are obedient to Allah and who establish peace with Him and His creatures. Its follower are called Muslims.\n\nIslam is not a new religion. It is, in essence, the same message and guidance which Allah revealed to all prophets before Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. Allah says in the Qur’ân:\n\n"Say, `We believe in ALLAH and that which has been revealed to us, and that which was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and in that which was given to Moses and Jesus and other Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them and to HIM we submit." (Qur’ân 3-85)\n\nSix main Articles of faith in Islam\n\nTo believe in the Oneness of Allah. \nTo believe in all His Angels. \nTo believe in all His Books. \nTo believe in all His Prophets. \nTo believe in the Day of Resurrection. \nTo believe in the Decree of Allah \n\nThe Five Pillars of Islam (Declaration of the Islamic Faith)\n\nIn order to enter into the fold of Islam i.e. to be Muslim, one has to know, believe, accept totally and sincerely apply the five basic principles (Pillars) on which Islam is based: Ibn Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allah - Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) said: Islam is based on the following five pillars (principles).\n\nBearing witness that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah \nObservance of Prayer \nPaying Zakat \nFasting during Ramadhan \nPilgrimage to the house of Allah.

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.

there is no tollerence in you for judging without knowing.\nThere are 2 types of disbelievers, the ones who knowingly reject islam, and those that havent heard of islam.  The ones that don't know islam, they are only responsible for believing in one god. The ones that do learn about islam, it is their fault for not pursuing it.\n\n\nEDIT: Just come in to a mosque and put a true attempt at learning islam, if you do not like islam after that then that's your decision to not be muslim.  But don't learn islam from bias sources, come learn from people that know islam best.

I am not a moslim, but I did see some good and not so good things about the Islam\n\nGood:\n1) It teaches you a lot about self discipline\n2) It does not give a human face to god. It considers the prophet as messenger of god, and not god himself\n3) It teaches you that life is a struggle and there is no shortcut. \n4) It teaches you that the only path to heaven is by being a good human being and putting humanity above every thing\n\nNot Good: I thing there is no problem with the religion, but the so called problems are because of following reasons.\n\n1) Some fanatics do not believe that the relgion should evolve with time\n2) In some cases, the men use the religion to curb the fredom of women.\n3) It does not allow inter racial marriages. A moslim must marry only moslim or convert the other person.

because i was born muslim and Allah made me a muslim because i had already chosen to die as a muslim. I have been trying to find my purpose in life without Islam, but once i looked at Islam again I understood everything. I have looked up many other religions, but Islam is the best.\nI just heard Puerto Rican convert yesterday giving a speech on how he converted to Islam and Islam makes humans more humanly. we keep clean, we worship Allah five times a day even though sometimes we don't want to, we eat and dress properly, etc.\nhe also said the truth hurts sometimes. i think he meant that almost everyone wants to sleep during Fajr (morning salaat), but once you think about it you might want to pray more.

islam does not teach peace mercy and forgivenes. it teaches hate racism and the killing of innocent people. what other religion teaches that if you blow your self up you will be rewarded with 72 virgins. this is a crazy an violent religion.

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their concern and questions on my religion.  It brings joy to me to see so many wanting to find the truth.\n\nThat said, there are some importnat notes we most consider.\n\n1. As Muslims we cannot lie about anything, especially about our religion.\n\n2. We have original recorded sources of our religion:\n\nA) The Quran\n\nB) Teachings of Muhammad.\n\nThis is a very unique part of Islam, not available in any other ancient religions.\n\n3. Sometimes "questions" contain misinformation. We must qualify what it is that someone is saying against what they are implying.\n\n4. If you find the answer to your question makes you say, "I didn't know that" or "This is good" are you ready to worship your God and your Lord without and partners?\n\nThis what Islam is really all about. The most important subject is the worship of Almighty God, without any partners or associates or "gods" besides Almighty God.\n\n\nYou speak of an arabic word when you do not know the language nor what the word means.\n\nNow, Islam is an arabic word. In order to understand what it means we must look at it in arabic rather than english.\n\nThe root word is s-l-m. Which has 5 distinct meanings:\nSurrender\nSubmission\nObey\nSincerity\nand Peace.\n\nSo you see, Islam is Surrendering and Submitting to the Will of Allah by obeying His Commandments in sincerity and peace.\n\nLike in English, the verb would be submitt, someone doing this would be a submitter. the er at the end makes it clear that it is an attribute to a person. In arabic, -mu is added but to the beginning of the word. For example, Islam would eb a Mu-islam, or just Muslim. Hajir, means to make pilgrammage, to miagrate, and so forth, a person would be called a muhajir. Once that is understood, then you can see that all "Mu-Islam"s do is surrender, submit, obey Allah in sincerity and peace.\n\nNow, what is this "Allah" that I speak of? "It makes no sense" Well, like in english, you have God and god, Gods or goddess. In arabic, there is ilah, which means god, eliha, which means gods. Howeever, in arabic, it also means someone to be worshiped. Allah is The One and Only God, it cannot be made plural nor genderized. It is not lower case nor upper case. IT is clear. So, Allah is The One and Only God to be worshiped.\n\nNow, from the time of ADam to Muhammad peace be upon them all, there was only one thing being preached, Islam, which you can substitute for "Surrendering, submitting, and obeying the Will of Allah(The One and Only God to be Worshiped) in sincerity and peace" . They all preached this same thing, therfore making them Muslims. This means that What we have today as Islam was actually a way of life, a verb, that was followed by all the prophets of Allah Almighty.\n\nSo once you can understand this, we can see that It isnt Allah's Words that are constatnly changing it is Man's words. Allah keeps on sending the same messege. In arabic the word Man is Insaan which comes from the root word, Nasa(bear with my translations) which means to forget.\nSo what did Adam preach to his children and grandchildren and so forth? To Surrender, submit, obey the Will of the One and Only God to be worshiped in sincerity and peace. (peace be upon Adam)\nWhat did Noah peace be upon him preach to his people?the same thing.\nWhat did Moses peace be upon him preach to his people?the same thing.\nDavid?Soloman?Jacob?Ishmael?Isaac?Abraham?and all the rest?peace be upon them all.the same thing, they all preached the same thing.\n\nSo now, and I dont have time to continue all of this, What did Jesus peace be upon him preach? All the prophets preached that Islam(To Surrender, submit, obey the Will of the One and Only God to be worshiped in sincerity and peace.) was the correct and only way. So why would Jesus peace be upon him say otherwise?Why would he preach otherwise? Of course he didnt.

Some Basic Islamic Beliefs \nThe religion of Islam is the acceptance of and obedience to the teachings of God which He revealed to His last prophet, Muhammad .\n1) Belief in God:\nMuslims believe in one, unique, incomparable God, Who has no son nor partner, and that none has the right to be worshipped but Him alone.  He is the true God, and every other deity is false.  He has the most magnificent names and sublime perfect attributes.  No one shares His divinity, nor His attributes.  In the Quran, God describes Himself:\n\n Say, “He is God, the One.  God, to Whom the creatures turn for their needs.  He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none like Him.”  (Quran, 112:1-4)\nNo one has the right to be invoked, supplicated, prayed to, or shown any act of worship, but God alone.\nGod alone is the Almighty, the Creator, the Sovereign, and the Sustainer of everything in the whole universe.  He manages all affairs.  He stands in need of none of His creatures, and all His creatures depend on Him for all that they need.  He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing, and the All-Knowing.  In a perfect manner, His knowledge encompasses all things, the open and the secret, and the public and the private.  He knows what has happened, what will happen, and how it will happen.  No affair occurs in the whole world except by His will.  Whatever He wills is, and whatever He does not will is not and will never be.  His will is above the will of all the creatures.  He has power over all things, and He is able to do everything.  He is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and the Most Beneficent.  In one of the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad , we are told that God is more merciful to His creatures than a mother to her child. God is far removed from injustice and tyranny.  He is All-Wise in all of His actions and decrees.  If someone wants something from God, he or she can ask God directly without asking anyone else to intercede with God for him or her.\nGod is not Jesus, and Jesus is not God. Even Jesus himself rejected this.  God has said in the Quran:\n Indeed, they have disbelieved who have said, “God is the Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary.”  The Messiah said, “Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord.  Whoever associates partners in worship with God, then God has forbidden Paradise for him, and his home is the Fire (Hell).  For the wrongdoers, there will be no helpers.”  (Quran, 5:72)\n\nGod is not a trinity.  God has said in the Quran:\n Indeed, they disbelieve who say, “God is the third of three (in a trinity),” when there is no god but one God.  If they desist not from what they say, truly, a painful punishment will befall the disbelievers among them. Would they not rather repent to God and ask His forgiveness?  For God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.  The Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary, was no more than a messenger...  (Quran, 5:73-75)\nIslam rejects that God rested on the seventh day of the creation, that He wrestled with one of His angels, that He is an envious plotter against mankind, or that He is incarnate in any human being.  Islam also rejects the attribution of any human form to God. All of these are considered blasphemous.  God is the Exalted.  He is far removed from every imperfection.  He never becomes weary.  He does not become drowsy nor does he sleep.\nThe Arabic word Allah means God (the one and only true God who created the whole universe).  This word Allah is a name for God, which is used by Arabic speakers, both Arab Muslims and Arab Christians.  This word cannot be used to designate anything other than the one true God.  The Arabic word  Allah occurs in the Quran about 2700 times.  In Aramaic, a language related closely to Arabic and the language that Jesus habitually spoke, God is also referred to as Allah.\n2) Belief in the Angels:\nMuslims believe in the existence of the angels and that they are honored creatures.  The angels worship God alone, obey Him, and act only by His command.  Among

I know quite alot seeming I study Islam and Christian perspectives on moral issues.  Islam's holy book is the Qu'ran, Muhammad the seal of the prophets received the book over 23 years.Muhammad is not the founder of Islam, Muslims believe that God has been sending Revelations since the time of Adam and Eve. Muslims believe that everyone is born to Islam so people do not convert they revert. To be a Muslim means to Submit and surrender to the will of God.Muslims believe that the Qu'ran is the unaltered absolute word of God, they also follow the Hadith of Muhammad,they believe that the Qu'ran tells them what to do and the Hadith how to do it.The Hadith are sometimes called the sunnah depending on whether it is a Sunni or Sh'iah Muslim. There are five pillars of Islam shadhah, Hajj, Saum, zakah,salah . Things that are allowed are called Halal such as meat thats been killed according to Allah. I could really go on and on about Islam.

Islam is a religion not to be confused with culture.\n\nCulture is usually thought up by human themselves whereas religion is what God ask of you.\n\nJust my opinion  :oD
