Islam\n"Surrender, submitting." Islam is the name of the true religion, according to the Qur'an. One who submits to God is a Muslim. The same root (*slm) as salam "peace." There are five or six central Islamic beliefs: monotheism, revelatory scriptures, angels, prophets, eschatology and (not always) predestination.

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.

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 is the most peaceful, holy and accurate religion. \n\nIf there was one grain of evidence that there was a God, I would become a Muslim.  Since there isn't and the body of evidence points towards evolution without any divine actions disrupting or adding to that process, it seems to me that all religions Islam or otherwise cause more harm than good in the world.  So we should remain agnostic and focus on world peace as a spiritual guide.

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, the religion of over 1.2 billion in the world, provides humankind with a unified view about the purpose of our creation and existence, our ultimate destiny and our place among other creatures. It is a way of life that is in complete conformance with nature, and with reason, logic and science.\n\nThe Arabic word Islam means voluntary surrender \n\nto the will of Allah and obedience to His commands. Allah is an Arabic word, the proper name of God. Muslims prefer to use the word Allah rather than God. A person who freely and consciously accepts the Islamic way of life and sincerely practices it is called a Muslim.\n\nBASIC BELIEFS \n\nTAWHID is the most important Islamic belief. It implies that everything in existence originates from the one and only Creator, who is also the Sustainer and the sole Source of Guidance. This belief should govern all aspects of human life. Recognition of this fundamental truth results in a unified view of existence that rejects any divisions of life into the religious and the secular. Allah is the sole source of Power and Authority and therefore entitled to worship and obedience from mankind. There is no scope for any partnership with the Creator. Tawhid teaches man that Allah is not born, nor is anyone born of Him. He has no son or daughter. Human beings, like the rest of creation, are His subjects.\n\nRISALAH means Prophethood and Messengership. Allah has not left humanity without guidance for the conduct of our affairs. Since the creation of the first human, Allah has revealed His guidance to mankind through His prophets. The prophets who received books from Allah are called messengers. The message of all the prophets and messengers is one and the same. They urged the people of their time to obey and worship Allah alone and none other. Whenever the teachings of a prophet were distorted by people Allah sent another prophet to bring human beings back to the Straight Path. The chain of Risalah began with Adam, included Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Lot, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and Jesus, and ended with Muhammad (peace be upon them all), as the final messenger of Allah to mankind.\n\nThe revealed books from Allah are: the Torah (Tawrah), the Psalms (Zabur), the Gospel (Injeel) and the Qur’an. The Qur’an was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (p)1, as the final book of Guidance. Among all these books, it is only the Qur’an that remains unchanged, in its original revealed form.\n\nAKHIRAH means life after death. Belief in Akhirah has a profound impact on the life of a believer. We are all accountable to Allah on the Day of Judgment when we will be judged according to how we lived our lives. One who obeys and worships Allah will be rewarded with a permanent place of happiness and bliss in Paradise (Jannah); One who does not do so will be sent to Hell (Jahannam), a place of punishment and suffering.\n\nFIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM \n\nIslam has five pillars or basic foundations of action. Acting correctly and sincerely on these foundations transforms a Muslim’s life into one that is in harmony with nature and thus in conformity with the will of the Creator. Faithful practice of these duties inspires her to work towards the establishment of justice, equality and righteousness in society, and the eradication of injustice, falsehood and evil.\n\n1. SHAHADAH, the first of the five basic foundations, is the declaration, knowingly and voluntarily, of: La ilaha illal lahu Muhammadur rasulul lah. “There is no god except Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah”\nThis declaration is the basis of all actions in Islam, and the other basic duties follow this affirmation.\n2. SALAH (compulsory prayer) is offered five times a day. It is a practical demonstration of faith, and keeps a believer in touch with her Creator. The benefits of Salah are far-reaching, long lasting and immeasurable. It develops in a believer the qualities of self-discipline, steadfastness and obedience to the Truth, leading her to be patient

ISLAM literally means submission to the Will of the Almighty.  In our belief ISLAM began when God issued an order to Adam, and Adam was given the free-will to obey..  or not obey.  Thus Islam literally began with the First Command of God, which was issued after free-will was given to Adam. \n\nThus anyone who obeyed or obeys God and puts his own free-will under the Will of the MOST HIGH is technically a Muslim.  The word ISLAM comes from the word PEACE or Salaama in Arabic, which comes about only if you obey the MOST HIGH!!\n\nThus Islam was not founded by a man, but by the Lord Almighty himself.  What is popularly known as Islam and as a faith forwarded by our Prophet Mohammad is in fact a continuum of the system which started with Adam, went through the Noahide laws, Abraham, the Laws of Moses and the implementation of those laws by the great ones of Israel until the chain of prophets culminated in Israel with the arrival of Jesus Christ, who in our belief was the last Guide and Prophet of Israel, before our final Prophet came for all mankind, and established the love of the Prophets and kings of Israel, first in his own nation, then in other nations.  All Muslims are required to bless the Prophets if they take their names, and believe in the ONE GOD.\n\nMuhammad taught obedience to One God in Arabia, where the Arabs of his nation and family used to worship 360 gods, one for each day of the year.  To discard so many gods who met various needs of the arabs was a hard thing to ask.  Some gods were gods of money, others god of health, knowledge, travel, sex etc..  so it was very hard for an average Arabs to dump all his gods enmasse.  It is obvious that one can spread a new faith in a group, but discarding the old faith is not easy without killing people in large numbers. \n\nWhat is amazing is in a mere ten years Mohammad was able to completely remove the Arab pagan religion that had existed for centuries from Arabia.  He began by laying the seeds of obedience to the ONE GOD in the first thirteen years of his ministry, from the age of 40 years until he was 53.   \n\nThe Arabs reacted violently to Muhammad's "intrusion" and teachings which said not only there is only one God, but taught that the great ones of Israel must be loved and respected as their own.  The ancient Arab names were replaced with the names of the Prophets of Israel for naming the children.  Also he taught that the slave and the slave owner were equal in the sight of God, or that the Chief of a tribe and the lowest member in that tribe were equal in front of the Almighty.  Some of these teachings were very offensive to the arabs of his time.  His arch enemy (the only one mentioned by name in the Quran) was his own uncle and his wife is also mentioned as enemies of monotheism.  His uncle was killed in the first battle. \n\nBasically what Muhammad accomplished in the 23 years of first forwarding Islam (in the first 13 years) then combating the extant faith in response to some terrible abuse inflicted on the early Muslims and vanquishing the Arabs completely (in the following ten years ) and establishing ISLAM permanently and laying the foundations for Islam to spread across to many nations is not only a miraculous feat, but an impossible one.  In fact, to this day no other man has completely eradicated an existing religion so completely from such a vast area in a mere ten years as the Prophet of Islam did. \n\nIf one says that God did not support Mohammad in his mission or that he is a false prophet, then they are unwittingly saying that God became helpless in front of a false Prophet.\n\nYou can see that many powerful men are fighting the same people in the same regions and are unable to eradicate the existing religion or install a new way of thinking, even though the blood shed is substantial (less than 2700 died in all battles between the arabs during the eight years of war between the Arabs during the prophet's time), where as thousands ha

The Qur'ān [1] (Arabic: القرآن ‎ al-qurʼān, literally "the recitation"; also called al-qurʼān al-karīm "The Noble Qur'an"; also transliterated as Quran, Koran, and Al-Quran), is the central religious text of Islam. Muslims believe the Qur'an, in its original Arabic, to be the literal word of God that was revealed to Muhammad over a period of twenty-three years until his death. Muslims regard it as God's final revelation to humankind and view it as the closest thing to a part of God in the world.[2] Muslims also call the Qur'an the "Final Testament", "The Book", "Book of God" or "The Revelation."
