I'm a Muslim. Do you know Islam?
A "Muslim" has a conventional meaning, and a deeper, more universal meaning.
First meaning of Islam (conventional meaning):
Islam is the religious dispensation given to man through Muhammad (pbuh). Its book is the Holy Qur'an. Its house of worship is a mosque, in English, and masjid, in Arabic. They have their Prophet-Founder - Muhammad, their calendar - the hejira (and all their religious holidays in it), their holy book - the Qur'an, their sabbath - Friday, their law - Sharia law, and so on and so forth. The entirety of this religious dispensation is called Islam. Its followers are called Muslims.
Second meaning of Islam (deeper, universal meaning):
Islam is the religion of the submission to the will of God. That's it. Someone who practices Islam is a Muslim. A Muslim is a person who practices the religion of submission to the will of God. In the Qur'an, Abraham and Moses and Jesus were called Muslims. But wait a minute? Abraham and Moses and Jesus existed long before Muhammad, so how can they be Muslims? They are Muslims because they practiced and promulgated and guided people to the religion of the submission to the will of God. ALL religions of God are Islam, each in its own time and each for its own prescribed time, until the next Messenger comes along. "Islam" has a more universal definition than the first meaning, it's more than the religion brought through Muhammad. Yes it is the Muhammadan dispensation, but it's also more. It is EACH dispensation, when God appointed that for mankind. Before Jesus, the Muslims were the followers of Moses. Before Muhammad, the Muslims were the followers of Jesus. You see?

I am a christian but I grew up in a church that celebrated all the same holidays that the Jewish religion has by different names. We didn't celebrated Christmas or Valentines day or Easter. We didn't even celebrate our own birthdays. We had the same diet restrictions of the Jewish and we went to church on Saturdays like the Jews do. The sunday Friday night to sundown Saturday night was in effect every weekend. I honestly believe that it doesn't matter what religion you have just as long as you live your life as closely to what you believe God would want and that you believe. You read the bible, you pray, and be the best human being you can be and then everything will fall into place. The bible says to love one another. It doesn't specify what religion you are to love. Even the 10 commandments are really self evident. Just be as good of a person as you can be. Love everyone. Leave the jugments up to God and have fun in your life. No religion is better than another. We are all just humans, after all.

merely to respond to the "G-d" section. that is an argument of understand. The call of G-d shouldn't in any respect be defaced. it isn't written down everywhere that the paper may be torn, dirtied, thrown out or otherwise disrespected. Technically it in ordinary words applies to THE call, as written in Hebrew, yet many Jews carry it by using to all different varieties. element of that is that historic written Hebrew had no vowels, so it really is the "o" it quite is dashed. And as one among my Jewish correspondents advised me, writing it that way is a reminder that any word or call or theory that he makes use of won't be able to in any respect completely convey the nature of G-d. the area, for him, is an acknowledgment that his information of G-d is, and continually will be incomplete, as a human being.

I walk the red road. The path of Native American spirituality. We worship God. Not nature as many people believe. We do honor God and nature though. It is a marvelous gift that has been given to us. This planet is entrusted to all of us to take care of. The more we learn to respect the earth and all of its inhabitants. The more we learn to respect ourselves and walk in the integrity of our own truth.
