Islam is a religion, but not in the western meaning of religion. The western connotation of the term "religion" is something between the believer and God. Islam is a religion that organizes all aspects of life on both the individual and national levels. \n\nIslam organizes your relations with God, with yourself, with your children, with your relatives, with your neighbor, with your guest, and with other brethren. Islam clearly establishes your duties and rights in all those relationships. \n\nIslam establishes a clear system of worship, civil rights, laws of marriage and divorce, laws of inheritance, code of behavior, what not to drink, what to wear, and what not to wear, how to worship God, how to govern, the laws of war and peace, when to go to war, when to make peace, the law of economics, and the laws of buying and selling. Islam is a complete code of life. \n\nIslam is not practiced in the mosque only, it is for daily life, a guide to life in all its aspects: socially, economically, and politically. \n\nIslam is complete constitution. Thus Islam keeps the Muslim away from confusion, because Islam is logical and rational. Allah is one. Allah is one Allah has no sons. Allah is not associated with trinity. Allah does not kill to save. No mediation is required between Allah and man. Islam organizes human nature, but does not go against it. There is not a class of clergy in Islam; nor is there celibacy. Islam is complete way of human life. \n\nSource : Islamway

Your question alone shows me that you have no idea what Islam is.  Let me put a question to you have you ever read the Holy Quran?  I know the answer is NO.  My friend read it before you talk or atleast visit my site to get some basics about Islam.  http://askmuslims.com\n\nHope to hear from you.  E-mail me....

In spite of all the bad publicity going on in the non-Muslim world, Islam is a truly wonderful religion. It has all the answers to the social problems that we currently suffer from. I’ve read a lot about other religions and they don’t come close the details and specificity that Islam has. It’s a complete social, economical, professional and political life guide system.

what u wrote clarifies that u don't know anything about any religion.\nAny way.... I'm Muslim & I'm PROUD of my religion & The Holy QURAN which is revealed by Allah to His prophet Muhammed PBUH.\n\n"Alif Laam Raa. A book which we have revealed to you (Muhammad) so that you may lead the people from out of the darknesses into the light by their Lord's leave to the path of the All-Mighty, the Praiseworthy." [Qur'an 14:1] \nSo.....\n\nDon't say writers.........our holy book QURAN is revealed by Allah.\nit's the words of Allah.\n\nlet's talk logically...\n1st... \nProphet Muhammed lived his life in the Arab land & never read about Hinduism, judaism, zorastrianism  ..... simply coz he was illiterate.(PBUH)\nNotice that Allah has chosen him PBUH to be the last prophet and to TEACH us how to live in peace & worship ALLAH , the Creator of the whole universe.\n\n2nd.....\nDo u consider it logical for a religion -supposed to be a religion calling for Tawheed ( worshipping only one God)- to borrow from other believes & thoughts that associate others with God in His Divinity ?!!\n\n3rd...\nthere is nothing called islamic or non-islamic version of paradise.... All religions that came from God has the same paradise.\n\n4th....\nthe five prayers of Muslim were not 5.....actually they were 50\nin the night of Israa & Miraj......\nthe Prophet (PBUH) began his ascent through the seven heavens, where he saw the other prophets till he reached Sadrat Al-Muntaha, the remotest lote tree, symbolizing the end of worldly knowledge. He was then taken before the Divine Presence. Allah enjoined the Muslims to perform salah (ritual Prayers) 50 times a day. After his audience with Allah and on his way down, Muhammad (PBUH) met Musa (Moses PBUH), who asked him how many Prayers were laid upon his followers. When the Prophet (PBUH) replied 50, Musa (PBUH) told him that the congregational Prayer is heavy and your people are weak. He advised him to go back and ask Allah to reduce them. Muhammad (PBUH) made several trips back and forth, and each time The Merciful reduced the number, till finally He reduced it to 5 Prayers a day and if they are performed properly the worshipper will be given credit for 50.\n\nIs this present in zorastrianism???\n\nWaiting for ur replies.....waiting for more examples to discuss.\n\n\n\nThose who remember Allah, standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: "O Lord, You have not created this for nothing. Glory be to You! So safeguard us from the punishment of the Fire." \n(Surat Al 'Imran: 191)\n\n\nThese will help u....\nstudy them ..... \n\nConsept of worship \nhttp://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/tawheed/conceptofworship.html\n\nIsraa& miraj......prayers\nhttp://www.islamicity.com/mosque/isra/\n\nhttp://www.islamonline.net/English/introducingislam/Prophet/Life/article04.shtml

Islam is a belief.  Islam is not an idiot running around the streets setting fire to everything.\n\nJust like Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, etc.  aren't either.  Yet how many millions of people have been killed in the name of all religions.\n\nYou should see example in your heart, look for it there and let it guide you.

YOu have to look at what Islam teaches you.\nFor jut a moment, disregard what others tell you about the violence people are accusing islam of.\n\nIslam teaches to respect life. IT is forbidden to harm anything, human, plant, insect, animals for no reason\n\nIT is forbidden to lie, backbite.\nIts a duty of every muslim, to help the needy, the poor, orphans, visit the sick.\n-Be good to ones neighbour.\n-Vist others and have food with them, regardless of faith.\n-Respect others faith, muslim or not.\n-Have patience, and enjoin the good, forbid the evil\n-Believe in one and only one God.\n-It is forbidden to commit any sort of crime, robbery.\n-Do not hurt another person, physically or emotionally.\n-Respect ones parents to the utmost- do not talk back to them, do not talk loud infront of them, walk behind them as a sign of respect.\n-Acquire knowlege, \n-Use this life in the most beneficial way possible.\n-Society and house manners should be maintained.\n-Be humble and have humility, do not be arrogant.\n\nSo you see, Islam is a beutiful religion, and it teaches one to be good and humble.\n\nAs for the violence, its a shame that some muslims do not understand the rules of Islam and tend to interprete it themselves the wrong way.\nYou cannot really blame the religion for how its followers are not following it correctly.

Islam\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. \nWhy I Believe in Islam\nThe following is an extract from the writing of Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad—the second successor to the Promised Messiah and Mahdi, founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam.\n\nI have been asked to state why I believe in Islam. When I put the question to myself, the reply I received was, for the same reason for which I believe in anything else, that is to say, because it is the truth. A more detailed reply would be that in my view the central doctrine of all religions is the existence of God and man's relationship with Him, so that the religion that can succeed in establishing a true relationship between God and man must be true, and the truth of a faith is surely a sufficient reason for believing in it. \n\nIslam claims that the Creator of this universe is a living God and that He reveals Himself to His creatures in this age in the same manner in which He used to reveal Himself in the ages past. This claim can be tested in two ways. God may either manifest His signs direct for a seeker after Him, or the seeker may come to believe in God by studying the life of a person to whom God has revealed Himself. As by the Grace of God, I happen to be one of those people to whom God has on many occasion and in a supernatural way revealed Himself. I stand in need of no further reason for believing in truth of Islam than that I have experienced the truth in my own person.\n\nFor the benefit of people who have had no similar experience, however, I proceed to relate the grounds which, in addition to my personal experience, have been the cause of my believing in Islam.\n\nFirst of all, I believe in Islam for the reason that it does not compel me to accept all those matters the sum total of which is called Religion merely on authority, but furnishes convincing arguments in support of its doctrines. The existence of God and the nature of His attributes, angels, prayer and its effects, Divine decrees and their sphere, worship and its need, Divine Law and its benefits, revelation and its importance, resurrection and the life after death, heaven and hell -- with regard to every one of these, Islam has given detailed explanations and has established their truth with strong arguments to the satisfacti

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
