what is islam?

Answer 1

Islam (Arabic: الإسلام; al-islām listen (help·info)) is a monotheistic religion based upon the Qur'an, which Muslims believe was sent by God through Muhammad, as well as teachings of Muhammad recorded in the Hadith. Followers of Islam, known as Muslims (Arabic: مسلم), believe Muhammad to have been God's (Arabic: Allāh) final prophet.

Like Judaism and Christianity, Islam is considered an Abrahamic religion. [1] With a total of approximately 1.2–1.3 billion adherents , Islam is the second-largest religion in the world.

Although Muslims believe Islam dates back to the beginning of time, secular historians place Islam's beginnings during the 7th century in Arabia. Under the leadership of Muhammad and his successors, Islam rapidly spread by religious conversion and military conquest. Today followers of Islam may be found throughout the world, particularly in the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia.

A prophesy of the Bible genesis~And from the seed of Ishmael I will create a great nation, and from him I will give 12 righteous descendants. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was the only person to claim to be a prophet and from the seed of prophet Ishmael, plus had 12 righteous descendants. The Bible also says false prophets will be unsuccessful, but in the not too far off future, Islam will be the largest religion in this planet. There are many other prophesies, including one from the Bible according to St. Barnabas, which is banned, that says a Prophet named Muhammad (SAW) will come after prophet Jesus. Plus many other examples.

Answer 9

its all about respecting all the other religions and prophets sent by God (Arabic = Allah) its the combination of all the religions.. thats y we see jews and christians everywhere disrespecting all other religions but never seen a muslim dis-respecting jew's or christian's religion and prophet..
and for those who r mistaking the concept of jehad in islam.. jehad is the holy war fought in defence, muslim fight bcuz they r being killed, digrased and raped all over the world (like israel, bosnia, kashmir, other parts of india and recently in iraq) and no what zarqawi and usama did is not jehad.. neither any other religion nor islam tells anyone to take innocent lives.. if u study the books on the jehads done in the time of Mohammad (PBUH) u'll see the rules of war protecting women, children, senior citizens and those who dont wish to fight..
