An Introduction to ISLAM simply
Islam is an Arabic word meaning peace and submission. Islam is the religion and way of life based on the complete acceptance of the teaching of God through his prophet. Muslims believe in all prophets of God from Adam and Abraham (Ibrahim) to Jesus (Isa) and finally Muhammad. Followers of Islam are called Muslims. All Muslims belong to the Ummah, the world-wide community of believers although there are some minor differences in the traditions of worship. Most Muslims are Sunnis, followers of the Sunna (example) of the Prophet Muhammad as recorded by his companions.
The declaration of faith in Islam is "There is no true god but Allah, and Muhammad is His Messenger". This is called the Shahadah, and is spoken by Muslims many times each day. God, Allah in Arabic is absolutely one, sovereign, just and merciful. Arabic is the language of the Qu'ran and of prayer.
Muslems believe that the Qu'ran (Koran) is God's word given to the Prophet Muhammad by the Archangel Gabriel in the early 7th century.
Muslims have five basic duties, the Five Pillars of Islam. They are: the declaration of faith (Shahadah), five prescribed daily prayers (Salat), contribution to charity (Zakat), fasting during the month of Ramadan (Sawm) and a pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj).The consumption of alcohol and recreational drugs is forbidden as is engaging in any immoral act or behaviour. Moslems dress modestly. They do not gamble. They do not eat pork. Muslims reject racism in all its forms.
