What is the islam?

Answer 1

A crazy man in the desert decieded he should rewrite the Torah and change some of the names and plot points. Bascially, it's a ripoff of Judiahism, but not as cool.

Answer 2

Prior to the Fourth Crusade, which ended in a stalemate between King Richard and Saladin?

Islam was the religion of most of the Arabian peninsula, concentrating almost entirely on Allah's Sciences and Arts via the Jihad of the Pen & Heart, that is, the quest to expand knowing and understanding of Allah. Because of this, the sciences, physical and metaphysical, and the arts flourished, sustaining the wisdom and knowledge of the Greeks, Egyptians, and other ancient religions.

Since the Fourth Crusade?

After the stalemate of Richard and Saladin, Islam as a religion and culture has reacted with a bitter backlash, as if the culture considered Science and Art to have been the error they commited that Allah considered reason enough not to grant them the victory Allah promised to all who were faithful to him. The stalemate left Muslims not knowing as a culture how to respond. Had they won a partial victory, and thus had Allah's favor, or had they partially lost, and thus Allah was punishing them? The Jihad of the Pen & Heart was replaced with the Jihad of the Sword, which previously had been purely intended defensively, and to this day now has a connotation of offensive attack instead of defensive resolve, and the Sciences and Arts have all but died in the area where the Pen & Heart flourished during the Enlightened Caliphate.


I acknowledge the debt scientists owe the Enlightened Caliphate for preserving the knowledge and wisdom of the Ancients by saving much of the text from the Library of Alexandria, but the modern form of Islam does not share in the praise due the Enlightened Caliphate.

Answer 3

Islam (Arabic: الإسلام; al-'islām (help·info)) is a monotheistic religion based upon the teachings of Muhammad, a 7th century Arab religious and political figure. It is the second-largest religion in the world today, with an estimated 1.4 billion adherents, known as Muslims.[1]

Muslims believe that God revealed the Qur'an to Muhammad and that Muhammad is God's final prophet. Muslims consider the Qur'an and the traditions of Muhammad in the Sunnah to be the basic sources of Islam.[2][3] Like Judaism and Christianity, Islam is an Abrahamic religion.[4]

Today, Muslims may be found throughout the world, particularly in the Middle East, North Africa, and South and Central Asia. Only about 20 percent of Muslims originate from Arab countries.[5] Islam is the second largest religion in many European countries, such as France, which has the largest Muslim population in Western Europe, and the United Kingdom

Answer 6

At the age of 25, Mohammed marries a 40 year old wealthy, widow named Khadijah who owns trading caravans. During the next 15 years of his life he interactes with Arabs known as the Hanefites. Hanefites were Arabs who rejected idol worship and were searching for the true religion. They looked to the religion of the Jews and Christians as being close to the goal. The Hanefites abandonded their idols and would retreat to the caves of Mecca in meditation and prayer.

At age 40 Mohammed had his first vision in the year 610 AD. He was in a cave on Mt. Hera and thought he was demon possessed. He went to Khadijah and told her about the event. She consulted with her uncle Waraca, a Hanefite who converted to Christianity, who assured them Mohammed vision was from God. Waraca declared Mohammed was a prophet to the Arab peoples, Waraca died 2 years later never becoming a Muslim.

Mohammed proclaimed Allah as the one true god and rejected the idol worship of Mecca. Khadijah, his wife, was Mohammed first convert to Islam. Few listened to Mohammed’s message and animosity grew against him as he confronted the idol worshippers and preached his religion to Mecca. Abu Talib his uncle and his tribe the Hasims protected him during this early Meccan period. In 619 Khadijah and Abu Talib died. Abu Talib headed the Hasim clan, which Mohammed was a member. The new leader of the Hasim tribe his uncle Abu Lahab refused to protect Mohammed. During the next 3 years Mohammed would fear for his life. He sought refuge and protection in nearby cities from those seeking his life.

Then in 621 during the Hajj, Arab tribes from the city of Yatrob later to be called Medina, came for the annual pilgrimage. They met Mohammed and thought him to be a prophet and invited him to their city to bring peace and settle disputes between the warring tribes. Yathrob was founded by three Jewish tribes and the idea of monotheism was familiar to its Arab tribesmen. The Arabs of Medina had been told by Jewish tribesmen about the coming Messiah who would one day conquer the world including the Arabs. The Arab tribes hoped to find this individual before the Jews. Meeting Mohammed they thought he was the one.
