Islam isn't all bad, its just some certain sects (or groups) within islam take their beleifs very, VERY seriously and try 2 follow them in very violen ways. They are only a small percentage or the religion, but they give all Muslims a bad name. \nIslam is a monotheistic religion, meaning they worship only one god (Allah). it is the same god that Christian, Catholics, and Jewish people worship.

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 ~

ISLAM is the Way of all of the prophets from the first (Adam, peace be upon him) to Muhammad, peace be upon him. They all called the people to submit their free choice that Allah had given them to the Will of Allah. That is what "Islam" is really all about.\n\nWhen the people begin to corrupt and change the message, they give some name to it that makes it distinct for them. Usually they chose a noun such as a person, place or thing. The examples are many, but let me mention the Hindus, from the nation of Hind, the Jews from the tribe of Judah, the Christians from The Christ, the Buddhists from the name of their Buddha. All of these are "nouns" right? So that is where they took the names.\n\nIslam is from Allah, The Creator and Sustainer of all that exists. As such, it is for Him Alone to command and direct His creation and He Alone is responsible for what He will accept and what He will not accept. It is also for Him Alone to decree what is good and what is bad and He must be the One to show the right path in all things.\n\nEverything in the life of the creations of Allah, especially for those who have choices to make (us), must be dictated and clarified by the One who Created everything in the fist place. We understand from this that Islam must be a complete and total way of living, explaining everything in the life from beginning to end and from birth until death.\n\nIslam is careful to remind us that it not a religion to be paid mere lip service; rather it is an all-encompassing way of life that must be practiced continuously for it to be Islam. \n\nThere are other injunctions and commandments which concern virtually all facets of one's personal, family and civic life. These include such matters as diet, clothing, personal hygiene, interpersonal relations, business ethics, responsibilities towards parents, spouse and children, marriage, divorce and inheritance, civil and criminal law, fighting in defense of Islam, relations with non-Muslims, and so much more. \n\nIn conclusion, we are forced to realize that ISLAM is a complete way of life for the human being. Everything is covered in Islam from birth to death to live in the complete submission to the Will of the One Who Created man in the first place. \n\n(Is that detailed enough for you?)

It is true and among educated people, there is absolutely no question about the falsehood of Islam. How cool would the world be without Islam. (sighs)

THANK YOU FOR ASKING ABOUT ISLAM. \n\nIslam believes on one True God without any partner. we muslims call HIm by "Allah"\n\nA person can call Allah by any name but it should be the most beautiful name. for example, Most merciful, Most gracious. Etc\n\n"Say: ‘Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman: by whatever name ye call upon Him, (it is well): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names....‘"[Al-Qur’an chapter 17:verse 110]\n\nThe most concise definition of God in Islam is given in the four verses of Chapter 112 of the Qur’an:\n\n"Say: He is Allah,  The One and Only. "Allah, the Eternal, Absolute.\n"He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him."  \n[Al-Qur’an chapter 112: verse 1-4]\n \nIslam comes from the root word salam, which means peace. It also means submitting your will to the will of God almighty. In short Islam means peace acquired by submitting your will to the will of God almighty. Anyone who submits his will to almighty God is a Muslim. \n\nIslam states that Allah sent messengers and prophets throughout the ages with the message of oneness of God, and accountability in the Hereafter. Islam thus makes it an article of faith to believe in all the prophets, starting with Adam, and continuing with Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, John and Jesus, Muhammad amongst many others (may peace be on them all). If any Muslim rejects faith in any of these messengers he ceases to be a Muslim. \n\n"Say: we believe in God and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il: Isaac, Jacob and The Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus and the Prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another, among them, and to God do we bow our will (in Islam)."\n(Quran,  3:84 & 2:136) \n\nThere are six beliefs in Islam. \n\nBelieve in oneness of God \nBelieve in His angels, \nBelieve in prophets of God, \nBelieves in books (i.e. the revelations of God almighty), \nBelieve in the day of resurrection, \nBelieve in divine destiny i.e. Qadar \n \n There are five pillars of islam \n\n1.      Testimony of faith i.e. There is no god worthy of being worshipped except Allah, and Mohammad is His Messenger.\n\nPrayers i.e. Salaah \nCharity i.e. Zakaah \nFasting in the whole month of Ramadan i.e. Saum \nPilgrimage i.e. Hajj \n \n \n\nMany people have the misconception that Islam is the new religion and Prophet Muhammad pbuh founded Islam. Prophet Muhammad is not the founder of Islam but he is the last and final messenger of Allah. Islam is there since Man sets foot on Earth. In fact, the first man on earth i.e. Adam pbuh was first messenger of Allah.\n\n \n\nThe messengers before Prophet Muhammad pbuh were only sent for a particular group of people at a particular time period, and their complete message was not sent for the whole of humanity but was only send for a specific group of people at that time period. Prophet Muhammad pbuh was sent for the whole of humanity.\n\nQur’an, is the word of God revealed to His last and final prophet, Mohammed (peace be upon him). The Qur’an is the Last and Final Revelation. All previous Revelations before Qur'an were only sent for a particular group of people and for a particular time period. The Qur’an was Revealed for the Whole of Mankind. \n\nQur'an 14:52 Here is a Message for mankind: Let them take warning therefrom, and let them know that He is (no other than) One Allah. let men of understanding take heed.

Happy now.\n\nIt is clear that you are not looking to learn or for the truth. Are you so much scared, of you and others, to know the real true Islam?????

Islam is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the Qur'an. With approximately 1.2-1.3 billion adherents [1][2], it is the world's second-largest religion. Followers of Islam are known as Muslims. Muslims believe that God (Arabic Allāh) revealed his word to humanity through many earlier prophets, and that Muhammad was the final prophet. Muslims believe that the core message of Islam, which is submission to God, has been the central messages in the teaching of all God's prophets.\n\nSecular historians view the religion as being founded by the prophet Muhammad in the 7th century C.E. The faith went through a period of rapid expansion after the prophet's death, and its followers can be found all over the world today.\n\nenet of Islam is found in the shahādatān ("two testimonies"): lā ilāhā illā-llāhu; muhammadu-r-rasūlu-llāhi — "There is no god but God (Allah) and Muhammad is the messenger of God (Allah)." A person who truly believes in the meaning of these words is a Muslim. However, for practical reasons one may need to recite the words in the presence of witnesses to be considered one by other members of their society.\n\nMuslims believe that God (or, in Arabic, Allāh; also in Aramaic Alaha) revealed his direct word for humanity to Muhammad (c. 570–632) and earlier prophets, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Muslims believe that Muhammad is the Last, or the Seal, of the prophets and that his teachings for humanity will last until Qiyamah (The Day of the Resurrection). Muslims assert that the main written record of revelation to humanity is the Qur'an (see below), which they believe to be flawless, immutable, and the final revelation of God to humanity. Muslims believe that parts of the Gospels, Torah and Jewish prophetic books have been forgotten, misinterpreted, incorrectly edited by humans, or distorted by their followers and thus their original message has been corrupted over time (tahrif). With that perspective, Muslims view the Qur'an as a correction of Jewish and Christian scriptures, and a final revelation.\n\nMuslims hold that Islam is essentially the same belief as that of all the messengers sent by God to humanity since Adam, with the Qur'an (the text used by all sects of the Muslim faith) codifying the final revelation of God. Islamic texts depict Judaism and Christianity as derivations of the teachings of Abraham and thus acknowledge common Abrahamic roots. The Qur'an calls Jews and Christians (and sometimes people of other faiths) "People of the Book." Historically, the second Caliph Umar ibn Khattab created what came to be known as "the Pact of Umar" in establishing that any people of the book who submitted to Muslim authority as dhimmis during the wars of Muslim expansion retained their freedom of religion and their existing churches.

"Islam" is derived from the Arabic word "salom," meaning "peace." "Muslim" literally means "one who submits," as in "submits to the will of God."

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

Islam (Arabic: الإسلام; al-Islām) means "submission to the will of God". It is a monotheistic faith and the world's second-largest religion. Islam is considered an Abrahamic religion, along with Christianity and Judaism. Followers of Islam, known as Muslims, believe that God (Allāh in Arabic) revealed his divine word directly to humanity through many earlier prophets, and that Muhammad was the final prophet of Islam.

And how much do you know about Islam??? Lots enough for you to talk about something that indeed you have very less knowledge about it???\n   Many people all over this world talk about freedom including free to be muslim, christian, budhist and so on. But how many of us respect every single person's right to be in which religion they want to? Including respect their faith and beleive. For example, be careful in whatever issue that you want to raise.

Islam is the only true religion.. it is not new, rather it is the only religion which all prophets of God taught, Adam, Noah, Moses, David, Jesus and Muhammed.. they all taught the same message which God is One, believe in Him and worship Him alone.. those prophets may have taught different laws and commandments, because those who those prophets were sent to were/are different.. the last laws which The God, or Allah -in Arabic- has willed for humanity are the Islamic laws which abrogated all the old commandments, like the Mosaic laws and the new laws which Jesus peace be upon him taught.. the commandments of Islam are uniquly suiting all men of all time, since Muhammed was the last messanger who God sent.. and since there will be no other prophets coming after him, and therefore no new laws to abrogate the Islamic laws.. and the Islamic laws may seem strict.. but when you give it more time, to see what Muslims scholars said about each laws.. and learn the wisdoms behind these laws, you may will come to see the big image.. which shows how The God knows exactly what we are in a need to, as you will see these laws perfect! .. \n\nPatience is the key to learn.. \n\npeace.

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)

Islam is one of the major religions of the world. Possibly the world's fastest-growing religion.\n\nTheir holy text is the Quran, it is GREATLY revered. \n\nThey also greatly revere the Prophet Mohammed. They worship Allah. They believe Allah is the ONE, the True God.\n\nI am not an adherent of Islam, but I believe it ought to be respected, as ought any religion.
