Answer 2

Islam is a religion of the Book, like Judaism and Christianity. The word 'islam' means: assiduousness (to God). The Arabic language knows root words which are usually made up of three consonants. "Islam" comes from the root s-l-m-, of which the words reconcile (salam), peace (salaam) and well-being (salama) are also deduced. The word "muslim" and the names Saliem, Aslam and Sulaimaan belong to the same group. The word "muslim" means: someone who is in the condition of islam. The expression 'islam' describes the inner state of assiduousness to God in reconciliation, peace and well-being.

Islam is a religion, but encompasses much more than only faith; it is a lifestyle. This religion in full comprises inner conviction, rituals, ethics, a spiritual path, a vision on society and very practical guidelines for everyday life. Islam doesn't have priests and it's not a 'church' in the usual sence of the word. In principal, all muslims form a worldwide community of believers, but there is no central authority of religious doctrine.

As to who can be a muslim: everybody can and is welcome to be a muslim.

islam is a very peaceful religion but there are many black sheeps in every family. and not all members of the family would take the responsibility of an individual's action. no man who uses the mask of religion and Allah to fulfill his dirty intentions can be a good muslim.

when u meet a muslim in ur day to day life, u will find him exactly like u: a worried parent, a caring sibling and a faithful partner. u will find him so absorbed with his life and family, that he does not have time to think of dirty intentions.

may the peace and blessings of Allah be on us and may He guide us on the right path

Answer 7

Islam is a religion of the world and anyone can become a Muslim.
PS: Your question is very stupid.

Answer 8

...ok i don't know why people are acting like one religion is superior to another....you asked a question, and here's your answer:

Anybody can be a muslim, as long as they stay pure and true to one another. Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism all pretty much want to lead you in the same direction - follow the path of God.

Allah and God are synonym by the way. theres no such thing as YOUR god and MY god, we share a common God, one higher power.

The difference between all religions are the teachings.

Find yourself a Qu'ran, make sure you put it at the top right of your bookshelf whenever you want to put it away, and read it thoroughly.

Be with God, and He will be with you.
