From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A Muslim (Arabic: مسلم), pronounced /ˈmʊslɪm/, is an adherent of the religion of Islam. The feminine form is Muslimah (Arabic: مسلمة). Literally, the word means "one who submits (to God)". Muslim is the participle of the same verb of which Islam is the infinitive. Muslims believe that there is only one God, translated in Arabic as Allah. Muslims believe that Islam existed long before Muhammad and that the religion had evolved with time from the time of Adam until the time of Muhammad and was completed with the revelation of verse 3 of Surah al-Maeda:
The Qur'an describes many Biblical prophets and messengers as Muslim: Adam, Noah (Arabic: Nuh), Moses and Jesus and his apostles. The Qur'an states that these men were Muslims because they submitted to God, preached his message and upheld his values. Thus, in Surah 3:52 of the Qur'an, Jesus’ disciples tell Jesus, "We believe in God; and you be our witness that we submit and obey (wa ashahadu bil-muslimūna)." Muslims consider making ritual prayer five times a day a religious duty (fard) (see the section on Ismāˤīlīs below for exceptions); these five prayers are known as fajr, dhuhr, ˤasr, maghrib and ˤishā'. There is also a special Friday prayer called jumuˤah. Currently, the number of Muslims is estimated to be between 1.25 and 1.84 billion.

GNU Free Documentation License How can a muslim boy marry a christian girl? Q. Could a boy from india who is muslim marry a christian girl? If so, how what type of marriage would they have? How would this work? Asked by naomora - Sat Oct 18 13:19:24 2008 - - 21 Answers - 0 Comments A. A muslim boy marrying a christian girl is perfectly acceptable in Islam although it is not preferrable. Male muslims can marry a Jewish, Christian or, obviously, Muslim female because the religion is passed down through the father so the children would be considered Muslims. This is why it is okay. My own parents are similar to the types of people suggested in your question! My mum is completely english and was brought up a christian and my dad lived in Jordan all his life (he is half Syrian, half Jordanian) and then at university in England, they met and in the end got married. Everything turned out fine. However, in answer specifically to your question, I do not know whether Indian parents would allow their son to marry a christian girl… [cont.] Answered by solventabuser - Mon Oct 20 10:58:54 2008 Who feels that Muslim Americans are being disrespected in this election? Q. It is now, tolerable to be racist and prejudice to Muslim Americans b/c a small group of people targeted us. How many of you feel this way? I am appalled, I may not be Muslim but I've learned that prejudice can lead to some horrible things... What can we do about this? Asked by Weightlifted - Thu Oct 9 00:31:00 2008 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes, they are being disrespected. And the fear and hatred are coming from all sides of the spectrum. We have SOME (not all--it's not nice to stereotype) people on the right who use Obama's middle name to invoke an association with Saddam Hussein. Funny, Hussein means "beautiful" or "handsome" or "good" and has nothing to do with Saddam, (which, funny enough, means "Powerful Ruler") whose name was Saddam Hussein al-Takriti (Powerful Ruler the Beautiful/Handsome from Takrit). Barack is a form of the word "blessed." It is Swahili and has its origins in a similar Arabic word. You see this word in many names, including the name of the ruler of Egypt, whose full name is Muhammad Hosni Mubarak. So Barack Hussein Obama means Blessed… [cont.] Answered by MS - Tue Oct 14 15:40:34 2008 How do I learn to be a good wife to a muslim man?
Q. I want to know what impresses muslim men and what a good muslim marriage is. Asked by Malinda H - Wed Dec 31 02:37:43 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. there are a thousand books out there that can help you, sister! but i wouldn't advise you seeking the answer to that on yahoo answers... i think it's wonderful of you to want to be a good wife to your husband. and muslim marriages hold in high regard the same qualities that other marriages hold: faithfullness, trust, opennes, honouring the relationship, respecting each other, helping and supporting each other, not judging the other and always putting each other first. you should get a book on the roles of men and women in islam. try not to look for advice on the internet because anyone with half an ounce of knowledge can open up a website and post fatwas on the net. try to get to an islamic bookstore. you will get very differing views… [cont.] Answered by Claire - Wed Dec 31 03:01:57 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Muslim" A Muslim is a follower of the Islamic faith, known to most medieval people as a Saracen.[1] This theme article is a stub.
