Question

I wanna see how many of you acutally know?

ok a clue: it has to do with abraham his wife and thier servent

arkangyle is real close

Answer 1

I just wanted to add, Muslims consider themselves to be descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's eldest son, while the Jews trace their lineage to Isaac, Abraham's other son. Muslims view Hagar to be the true wife of Ishmael, rather than Sarah.

Everyone else covered most of the rest with cut-n-paste posts, but I wanted to chip in my penny because I think Jenny is cute *shrugs*.

ADDED : Ok so you want more detail on Abraham? Well, Abraham and his wife Sarah couldn't seem to produce a male heir ... so Sarah agreed to allow him to father a child with their servant girl, Hagar. Hagar gave birth to Ishmael ... but then later Sarah, at a supposedly very elderly age, gave birth to a son, Isaac. While Ishmael was the eldest son, he was conceived outside of the marriage.

And some people claim atheists don't know anything about Biblical history :P

Answer 2

The Muslim religion is Islam. I think the answer you're looking for is when Abraham brought his wife Hagger and son Ismael to the desert and left the two of them there by God's order. Haggar became desperate for water to give her thirsty son, so she ran 7 times between two mountains, Safa and Marwa, seeking sustanance. Not able to find any, she was at the brink of dispair. just then, she saw the Angel Gabrial hovering above her son and with his wing, scooping some of the sand by his feet. Ishmail kicked the same spot with his foot and a spring of water sprang up. THis spring is called Zam Zam and still flows today. Years later, Abraham and his son Ishmael built the Holy Kaba at this site. The events mark a historical time in Islam's history and a ritualistic ceremony called Hajj is performed every year to mark this event. Prophet Muhammad is a decendant of Hajjar and Ishmael.

Answer 3

Islam (Arabic: الإسلام; al-islām listen (help·info)) is a monotheistic religion based upon the Qur'an, which adherents believe was sent by God through Muhammad. Followers of Islam, known as Muslims (Arabic: مسلم), believe Muhammad to have been God's (Arabic: Allāh) final prophet; most of them see the historic record of the actions and teachings of Muhammad related in the Hadith as indispensable tools for interpreting the Qur'an.

Like Judaism and Christianity, Islam is considered an Abrahamic religion.[1] With a total of approximately 1.4 billion adherents, Islam is the second-largest religion in the world.[2]

Secular historians place Islam's beginnings during the late 7th century in Arabia. Under the leadership of Muhammad and his successors, Islam rapidly spread by religious conversion and military conquest.[3] Today, followers of Islam may be found throughout the world, particularly in the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia.

Answer 4

Off the top of my head, without looking anything up: in a tribe called Qureysh, a man named Mohamed or Mahomet, who was an orphan at an early age, was raised by an uncle. He became a businessman. He was a religous man. In those days, there were competing pagan religions, Judaism, and Christianity. Many of the Jews and Christians in the area where Mohamed had lived had backslid.
He went to a cave to meditate. There, he was visited by an angel sent by G-d (All-h) who revealed to him His Will and Knowledge for Humanity. Mohamed went down from the mountain to his wife, a wealthy widow. She supported him, gave him courage not to run away from his vision. He began to share it and got many followers. They were persecuted by others, and had to flee Mecca. After a period of exile, they made a comeback, through both preaching and military incursions against the enemy which had and continued to persecute them. This was the beginning of Islamic History.

I note your clue about Abraham. Again, I have remarked on the existence of Jewish and Christian worshippers and believers who no doubt influenced Mohamed. As Moslems say, all three --Jewish, Christians, and Moslems, are called People of the Book, -al Kitab.

Answer 5

All prophets all started in mountain or caves with the aid of fact how ignorant we are and how many got here and have been given killed and overwhelmed.. no prophet unfold the be responsive to God with actual.. Islam got here in Peace and it ability Peace.. all faith shop on with each and each others in and that they are in basic terms an in the previous branch of Islam, what we Muslims declare is that Christianity and Judaism went over Gods rules with the aid of fact they have did no longer shop their holy books so as that they acceded in interrupting and information Gods words. If there have been no differences in the Holy Scriptures you would be shocked that the basics of the three religions that are ninety 9% comparable (believing in one God, appearing prayers, charity, and carry out Haj) in case you need to work out how close we are to Christians and Jews as Muslims are obligated to nicely known all previous prophets and messengers and their scriptures evaluate media a part and step out of the container.. sick ask you few elementary question to get you waiting.. tell me how bombing from Muslims in the previous 9/11 and how many cases you have heard the be conscious terrorist?? look on the Muslim undertaking who's come over who?? study historic past what led to Muslims to bypass to war??? Why can’t you look how Muslims got here to India, china, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Africa and Europe??

Answer 6

The History of Islam involves the history of the Islamic faith as a religion and as a social institution.

Background
Like most world religions, Islam's historical development has had a clear impact on the political, economic, and military history of areas inside and outside what are considered its primary geographic zones of reach (see Islamic world). As with Christendom, the concept of an Islamic world may be more or less useful in looking at different periods of history. An important strain in Islamic culture encourages identification with a quasi-political community of believers or ummah, and this component is reflected in the behavior of a number of factors in history. The history of Islam as a religion is closely related to political, economic, and military history.

Islam appeared in Arabia in the 7th century . Within a century of Muhammad's first recitations of the Qur'an, an Islamic state stretched from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to Central Asia in the east. This empire did not remain unified for long; the new polity soon broke into a civil war known to Islamic historians as the Fitna, and later affected by a Second Fitna. After this, there would be rival dynasties claiming the caliphate, or leadership of the Muslim world, and many Islamic states and empires offered only token obedience to a caliph unable to unify the Islamic world.

Despite this fragmentation of Islam as a political community, the empires of the Abbasid caliphs, the Mughals, and the Seljuk Turk, Safavid Persia and Ottomans were among the largest and most powerful in the world. Arabs made many Islamic centers of culture and science and produced notable scientists, astronomers, mathematicians, doctors and philosophers during the Golden Age of Islam. Technology flourished; there was much investment in economic infrastructure, such as irrigation systems and canals; stress on the importance of reading the Qur'an produced a comparatively high level of literacy in the general populace.

Later, in the 18th and 19th centuries C.E., Islamic regions fell under the sway of European imperial powers. Following World War I, the remnants of the Ottoman empire were parcelled out as European protectorates. After many centuries, no major, widely-accepted claim to the caliphate (which had been at least claimed by the Ottomans) remained.

Although affected by various ideologies, such as communism, during much of the twentieth century, Islamic identity and Islam's salience on political questions have arguably increased during the late twentieth century and early twenty-first century. Rapid growth, western interests in Islamic regions, international conflicts and globalization have influenced Islam's importance in shaping the world of the twenty-first century.

[edit]
Note on early Islamic historiography
There are several Muslim versions of early Islamic history, as written by the Sunni, Shi'a, and Ibadi sects. 19th century Western scholars tended to privilege the Sunni versions; the Sunni are the largest sect, and their books and scholars were easily available. Over the last hundred years, Western scholars have become much more willing to question the orthodox view and to advance new theories and new narratives. Still today, many parts of Islamic history are not as well known internationally as other components of history, such as that of the west.

Answer 7

Why are you trying to test peoples' knowledge? This site isn't about intelligence, and knowledge, it's about asking questions or advice, and anwering questions and helping. Stop trying to sound so smart. I know how Islam started... I happen to be an expert because I was very interested in Islam when I was in high school due to having so many muslim friends. I researched it alot.

yeah, so, I know about islam...Am I bragging?

This site isn't for showing off or testing peoples' knowledge, or trying to prove how stupid people are.

Answer 8

The Roman Catholic Church encouraged it. See Kent Hovind @ Dr.dino.com for more on that.
"The cresent moon is from a moon God of polytheism... multiple Gods. The muslims with Roman Catholic leaders helped choose the moon God to represent the peoples faith and unite them in a common bond." If you research yourself you should find that answer to be accurate. Good luck with that. Good question.

But I think you want to hear... Sarah's handmaids son.... Ishmael and his decendants. Look deeper and you will find the real truth and love of the Lord. Hope your smiling. Be blessed.
