FrenchNounislam m. (plural islams) Derived termsPolishFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Islam (Arabic: الإسلام al-’islām, pronounced [ʔislæːm] ( listen)) is a monotheistic, Abrahamic religion based on the teachings of the Qur’an, a religious book considered by its adherents to be the verbatim word of God (Arabic: الله, Allāh), and the Islamic prophet Muhammad's personally demonstrated examples (collected through narration of his companions in the volumes of Hadith) for implementing them. The word Islam is a homograph, having multiple meanings, and a triliteral of the word salam, which directly translates as peace. Other meanings include submission, or the total surrender of oneself to God (see Islam (term)). An adherent of Islam is a Muslim, meaning "one who submits (to God)". The word Muslim is the participle of the same verb of which Islām is the infinitive. Muslims regard Islam as the completed and universal version of an original monotheistic faith revealed to peoples before, including to Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets. Islamic tradition holds that previous messages have changed and the revelations were distorted. Religious practices include the Five Pillars of Islam, which are five duties that unite Muslims into a community. Islamic law (Arabic: شريعة Šarīʿah) touches on virtually every aspect of life and society, encompassing everything from dietary laws and banking to warfare and welfare. The vast majority of Muslims belong to one of two major denominations, the Sunni (roughly 85%) and Shi'a (roughly 15%). Islam is the predominant religion in much of Africa, the Middle East, as well as in major parts of Asia. Large communities are also found in China, Russia and the Balkans. Converts and immigrant communities are found in almost every part of the world. About 20% of Muslims live in Arab countries, 30% in the Indian Subcontinent, and 15.6% in Indonesia alone, the largest Muslim country in absolute numbers. With 1.3 billion to 1.8 billion Muslims, Islam is the second-largest religion in the world and the fastest growing religion in the world. From Wikipedia under the

Q. "Islam came after Christianity - Christianity is hundreds of years older than Islam - and is similar to Christianity in many, many ways. Hence The Koran is just a spurious carbon-copy of The Bible, with "Jesus Christ" scratched out everywhere it appears and "Mohammed" scribbled in. Anyone who can denounce Christianity and espouse Islam with a straight face is obviously unsound." I have *many* friends who make this very argument, and I'd like to know how sound it is. Thanks.

In fact a revelation came asking people to give the Prophet (pbuh) privacy in his own home. If the Prophet had been meeting people who told him what to say as a revelation from God, this would not have been hidden for very long. 2. The extremely prominent Quraish nobles who followed the Prophet and accepted Islam were wise and intelligent men who would have easily noticed anything suspicious about the way in which the Prophet brought the revelations to them - more so since the Prophetic mission lasted 23 years. 3. The enemies of the Prophet kept a close watch on him in order to find proof for their claim that he was a liar - they could not point out even a… [cont.] Answered by Shaik Abdul Cader Dawood - Sat Oct 4 23:40:11 2008 How do you feel about the Muslim support for the rookie Senator despite his abnegation of Islam? Q. Muslims have all the right to choose their candidate, be it Hillary, John Edwards or any other else. It would be important to note however that people who abnegate Islam religion are oftenly considered as "traitor" to Islam. In extreme cases, renouncing of Islam could make one a target for fatal retribution. Fadi, he said he was once a Muslim. Asked by battmann - Thu Jan 24 21:33:44 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. He says what people want to hear so he can win their votes. Nothing is black or white. Those who have a low IQ or a brainwashed head can think of him as traitor, and those who like voting for someone who is half their race will vote for him. People in general like those who have some common qualities. So, if the religion makes them feel more comfortable, so be it. Don't think that people really analyze things as you battmann. Many times people vote for someone just because they don't like anybody else. Answered by Nancy C - Thu Jan 24 21:46:11 2008 Why do morons continue to think islam is a race?
