To find out general facts about Islam their are many websites such as \nhttp://www.fisabilillah.org/ebooks.asp\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam\n\n1) Muslims do not spend the interest they earn on any bank account/building society account they have.  This is becasue Muslims belive that you should spend money that they have earned not free money if you can call it that.http://www.mustaqim.co.uk/usury.htm\n\n2) One in five people in the world is a Muslim and\njust under two million Muslims live in the UK.\n\n3)  Muslims women have many rights, such as The right and duty to obtain education. The right to have their own independent property. The right to work to earn money if they need it or want it. Equality of reward for equal deeds. and many more\n\n4) Muslims fast during the month of Ramadan; this is the month that Mohammed performed his meditation and the quran Islams holy book was revealed.  \n\n5) Islam is a complete way of life that governs all facets of life: moral, spiritual, social, political, economical, intellectual, etc.\n\n6) Muslims accept the original unaltered Torah (the Gospel of Moses) and the original Bible (the Gospel of Jesus) since they were revealed by God. However, none of those original scriptures are in existence today, in their entirety. Therefore, Muslims follow the subsequent, final, and preserved revelation of God, the Holy Qur'an.\n\n7) Terrorism, unjustified violence and the killing of innocent people are absolutely forbidden in Islam. Islam is a way of life that is meant to bring peace to a society, whether its people are Muslim or not. The extreme actions of those who claim to be Muslim may be, among other things, a result of their ignorance or uncontrolled anger. Tyrant rulers and those who commit acts of terrorism in the name of Islam are simply not following Islam. These people are individuals with their own views and political agendas. Fanatical Muslims are no more representative of the true Islamic teachings than Timothy McVeigh or David Koresh are of Christianity. Extremism and fanaticism is a problem that is common to all religious groups. Anyone who thinks that all Muslims are terrorists should remember that the famous boxer Muhammad Ali, perhaps the most celebrated person of our era, is a practicing Muslim.\n\n8) Muslim women wear the head-covering (hijab) in fulfillment of God's decree to dress modestly. From a practical standpoint, it serves to identify one as attempting to follow God in daily life and, therefore, protects women from unwanted advances from men. This type of modest dress has been worn by righteous women throughout history. Prominent examples are traditional Catholic Nuns, Mother Teresa and the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus.\n\n9)Allah: is Arabic for God and is the same word used by many Christian Arabs. Allah is the same God worshipped by Christians and Jews.\n\n10) Jihad: means ‘to exert ones utmost’.  Muslims consider that the greatest Jihad is to struggle for inner growth in their daily lives.

Peace\n\n     I'm a Muslim... I love Islam for every thing it has, I too believe that Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are all the same.\n\n   I wish the whole world can look at life the way we do. \n\nTry taking a look at the Quran, It has great scientific miracles, and it explains a lot of things that scientists are barely discovering.\n\n\nPeace, and love for all humanity, and God bless us all.

I was raised a Catholic but personally I think Islam is a great faith, too bad some followers of  Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab have given your religion a black eye, but don't true Muslims view terrorists as Fasiq or Munafiq, I've read that the virgin Mary is mentioned more often in the Qur'ān than in the Bible, and having a Pope and Cardinals that live extravagantly in mansions after taking a vow of poverty certainly is hypocritical, let alone all the corrupt priests, and Evangelists that have been caught doing despicable things. We should all command what is good, forbid what is evil, and strive to seek God's approval.

In the name of Allah most gracious most merciful, I'll try my best to help you if u r really interested in Islam.\nFirst of all I'm Muslim because Islam has provided me the internal peace I'm searching for, In Islam I've found the unity of all Muslims in alot of occasions for example the times of prayers when u see alot these Muslims (not all of them due to lack of their faith) doing the same moves and asking the only God, renweing their faith five times a day through the whole day, especially Al-Fajr prayers when u wake up from your bed and go to make wodoo2 by washing your limbs and head with water then going in your path towards the mosque (if it was accessible or close to you) or towards the place where u do ur prayers and in the silence of the surroundings making the dialogue with your only God.\nI've found their unity in yearl pilgrimage (called hajj) to Makka from different spots of the earth having one target which is pleasing the true king of everything.\n\nI've beleived in Islam while i found it's talking to your mind and soul and guiding you to how to live peacefully with others and how to deal with all your problems.\n\nI've beleived in Islam while it has solved many of my daily problems and even fllowing it's commands made me a better person by the testaments of other people knowing me.\n\nI've beleived in islam while it dealt with other religions peacefully and has granted them free will to deal with their religions whether it was.\n\nI've beleived in Islam while it has been based on what humans can do not miracles, miracles have never been introduced in islam except when it was so necessary and in situations which will not face a normal(not a prophet) person ever.\n\nI beleived in islam while it treats my mother and father nicely and gave rights to women as far as they demand and more.\n\nI beleived in islam while u r in direct contact with God and not needing anyone or anything in between you.\n\nI beleived in Islam while I've found it's prophet telling about things which was far futuristic than his era and have been fullfilled as he said and will be fullfilled as he said.\n\nI beleived in Islam while when I read Quran I feel it's like a heavenly words coming through my spirit.\n\nI beleived in islam while it makes me manage my life easier than I could do.\n\nI beleived in islam while it made me respect myself as a human and gave me the right way to establish a successfull person.\n\nI beleived in it while I've talked to many christians and Buddhists, infidels and read about judaism but they never gave me the answer which can make me have peace with myself.\n\nThe greeting of islam is Peace be upon You so how come it calls for war and terrorism.\n\nIslam makes me clean, tidy, relaxed, thoughfull, considerate and trustfull.\n\nIslam means (maybe I'm not so good in English) providing yourself to your God.\n\nI've a special Doaa(asking God) which whenever I use it never fails.\n\nIslam deals with me by discussion of matters not by faith without reasons, there're ofcorse things which have to be beleived but it has reasons why should u beleive in.\n\nIslam has dealt with me as a normal human not burdening me without care.\n\nI hope i can talk more but I'm not a scholar anyway, u coudl email me on my add.: ahmedeldeeb@yahoo.com and I'll send you some links, books and even will try to get you to some place where u can learn about Islam if u really want it and will Inshaa Allah(God willing) try to provide you with the nearest place that could help you.

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.

I like how the islamic people who answered the question keep saying, "don't listen to people who say bad things about us."\n\nI don't believe islam is, in and of itself, a bad religion. I just think the fringe in this religion is more tenacious than the fringes of other religions. There are christian psychos but they're not blowing themselves up in Saudi Arabia or the UAE. There are jewish fanatics but they're not blowing up christian churches.\n\nI think the stigma towards islam is, and muslims cannot deny this, if you look at almost every major violent conflict in the world, islam is somehow involved: india v. pakistan, israel v. palestine, russia v. chechnya, bosnia v. serbia, east timor, philipines, etc. etc.\n\nSometimes the muslims are the victims but often they are the aggressors. From an outsiders perspective, though muslims are peaceful, they do not seem too tolerant of others views.

I believe Islam means Peace.According to the "Holy Quran", the book from Allah for Muslims, Islam is the complete code of life. I don't know what made u ask this question, but I will tell u, Islam is peace.Islam teaches muslims to be truthful, to be kind to weak and suffering people.Islam says dont go to bed, having your neighbours hungry.Islam says dont cheat people...........And a lot.If you really want to about Islam try collecting history books.May be u wonder, if Islam means peace, then why are muslims bombing in cities, attacking and killing peoples! My answer is Muslims are attacked, so they r protesting.But some are trying to kill innocent peoples, dont count them as Muslims, they are just spys, trying to worse the image of muslims, and want to destroy them.Its really hard to take their mask off.

I have said this now for years, and I say it because I believe it to be true. (Note here: This is in no way meant to put down any one or any faith. Its just an opinion, based on a variety of reasons that I won't go into here. Going into my reasons here now would take to much time and detail.) From a monotheistic standpoint, given the Abrahamic tradition, Islam is the only truly viable religion in the world today. And that is my main thought concerning Islam. ~ Peace & Blessings ~

My religion is Islam.I believe that Islam is the right choice for me because :\n1)Islam with the holy book Al Qur'an and Hadith as an inheritance from Muhammad peace be upon him (pbuh) is the last and complete life guidance from Allah the only one God and no other god than Allah\n2)the other religion with its holy book are outdated and have many\ncontradictions and uncomplete such as Zabur,Taurat and Injil or\nBible because it have been changed by dirty hands\n3)Islam gives us a right path as our straight way which will give us all kindness and happiness in this world and kindness and happiness in eternal life after death\n4)Islam is a peaceful religion which spread out by love  and no force because islamic teaching is logic and gives us a free will\n5)Islam increased the level of recognation and honour of women\nas stated that heaven is on the foot palm of a woman and kids should first serve their mother than their father. \n6)Islam regulates social,economy,politic,management, ,law and culture that are better than the other religions which  more regula \nte for praying as a communication to God\n7)Islam is logically believe in one God who has no son,no mother and no father Allah is really only one God who has omni power.\n8)Islam is the only one religion that is accepted and blessed by Allah for our savety in our life here in this world and then in our eternal life after death if we obeyed all of Allah's instructions and prohibitions\n9)Islam gives the principles of a good living and discipline and clean life for our health and  gives the best way for our earning income and for disbursing our income\n10)Islam gives the basis for a prosperous and peaceful society in line with islamic teaching because we should work hard,pay islamic taxes and donation/alm,help the poor and orphan and make a togetherness with our family,neighbours,friends and rela tives,groups,among races and among countries.We are brothers and sisters as descendat of Adam and Eve/Hawa..
