ISLAM
The word islam derives
from the arabic word that means “surrender”. Therefore the religion islam means
“submission to Allah”. The way to submit to Allah is through worshipping Him,
obeying Him, following the rules in the Qur’an, and trying to follow the life
of the prophet Muhammad.
People who follow this
religion are called Muslims. They believe in only one God, that God is called
Allah, which is the Arabic phrase for “the (only) God. Muslims read a holy book
called the Qur’an. Muslims also look at the sunnah and haditsh as important
guides to understand. Muhammad was the last messenger of God who spread Islam
in ancient Arabia in the 7th century.
Like two other religions
today, Judaism and Christianity, Islam is tought to be an Abrahamic religion,
because the three religions are believed to have been started by Abraham. In
all three religions, Abraham is one of God’s earliest messengers. Islam is now
the second largest religion in the world with about one and a half billion
followers.
