First and foremost, Islam teaches that "there is no god but God". This means that Islam accepts no deity, no being, nothing whatsoever that is worth worshipping, except Him alone. This is the truth.
In the Arabic language, the word "God" is "Allah". He is the one who created humans and all its wonders, the animals, the plants, the sun, the moon, the planets, the galaxies, and the expanding universe. God is the one who created your eyes. God is the one who created you.
On Judgement Day, no human can save anybody, no family member can save another, no statue will come and give help, and certainly no animal or human creation can too. Every soul will be judged to His favor.
Theoretically in Islam, anybody who worships only Him will enter Heaven. But for those who commit sins, they will first have to serve time in Hell (including sinful Muslims). And after that God will joyously take the person away from Hell, have him cleaned, and then open the gates of Heaven for him.
Secondly Islam teaches that humanity has always had guidance from God, in the form of the teachings by selected people called "Prophets". There were around 313 messengers sent throughout human history. Alongside this, there were 124,000 prophets to the many tribes and peoples of the world. In Islam, these messengers/prophets include Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Ishamel, Moses,and Jesus (p.b.u.t.). And of all these people, the final messenger was the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.).
Some messengers were sent to particular tribes of their time. Some were sent to the Persians, the Romans, the Chinese, the Jews, the native Americans, the Arabs, the Africans, et cetera. (In the Quran, only 25 messengers were mentionedby name, but Muslims are to believe in all thousands of them). However, the last messenger God sent was to all of humanity. The Messenger teaches humans how God wants to be served, how to pray, how to deal conduct with other people, how to do business, how to teach children, how to treat animals, how to study, et cetera. We would certainly understand that God wants humans to live as best as they can, therefore He commands the Messenger to tell them how to do just that.
From the two points I've given, the core of Islam is summed up as such: "La ilaha illallah, muhammad rasul allah."
"There is no god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God."

Islam is not a new religion, but the same truth that God revealed through all His prophets to every people. For a fifth of the world's population, Islam is both a religion and a complete way of life.
The Arabic word 'Islam' simply means 'submission', and derives from a word meaning 'peace'. In a religious context it means complete submission to the will of God. 'Mohammedanism' is thus a misnomer because it suggests that Muslims worship Muhammad rather than God. 'Allah' is the Arabic name for God, which is used by Arab Muslims and Christians alike.
The religion of Islam is the acceptance of and obedience to the teachings of God which He revealed to His last prophet, Muhammad .

Hello My Friend, Islam, the word came from the word Salaam, it means THE PEACE. Its a religion of peace but it doesn't mean that other are not a peaceful one. It having its own code of conduct. Those who obey that code are called as Muslims. As I am being a Muslim, I agree that not all the Muslim name holders are following the code but most of them. In short, ISLAM means "SURRENDER AND SUBMISSION TO GOD".

Iam wonder about one narrowminded, intolerant and ignorant answer for this question !!
Islam or Muslim is not for eliminate Jewish or Zionist. If Jewish belived holocaust happend under the German Nazi regime, why they balme Islam. Now Zionist made a country by invading Palestine property. If they beleive holocaust happend why dont they go to Germany? Why Muslim should suffer this BURDEN?
Iam sure if they go to Germany again, no one will left in the Planet.
Cowards!!

Islam is derived from the Arabic root "Salema": peace, purity, submission and obedience. In the religious sense, Islam means submission to the will of God and obedience to His law.
