FrenchNounislam m. (plural islams) Derived termsAnagramsPolishFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Islam (Arabic: الإسلام al-’islām, pronounced [ʔislæːm] ( listen)) is the religion articulated by the Qur’an, a book considered by its adherents to be the verbatim word of the single incomparable God (Arabic: الله, Allāh), and by the Islamic prophet Muhammad's demonstrations and real-life examples (called the Sunnah, collected through narration of his companions in collections of Hadith). The word Islam is a homograph, having multiple meanings, and a triliteral of the word salaam, which directly translates as peace. Other meanings include submission, or the total surrender of oneself to God (see Islam (term)). When the two root words are put together, the word 'Islam' gives the meaning 'Peace aquired by submission to the will of God'. An adherent of Islam is a Muslim, meaning "one who submits (to God)". The word Muslim is the active participle of the same verb of which Islām is the infinitive. Muslims regard their religion as the completed and universal version of a monotheistic faith revealed at many times and places before, including, notably, to the prophets Abraham, Moses and Jesus. Islamic tradition holds that previous messages and revelations have been changed and distorted over time. 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, welfare, and Jihad. The vast majority of Muslims belong to one of two major denominations, the Sunni (87-90%) and Shi'a (10-13%). Islam is the predominant religion in much of Africa, the Middle East and major parts of Asia. Large communities are also found in China, Russia and the Caribbean. About 13% of Muslims live in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country, 31% in the Indian Subcontinent, and 20% in Arab countries. Converts and immigrant communities are found in almost every part of the world. With 1.57 billion Muslims (see Islam by country), Islam is the second-largest religion in the world and arguably the fastest growing religion in the world. From Wikipedia under the

Q. What happens to a person who makes a joke, uses humor or writes a negative book about islam? What happens to a person who questions that religion or chooses not to participate? The answer to all those questions is the person will be put to death. To me that is total dictatorship and an authoritarian form of rule. So how can any one say that islam is a peaceful religion? These are not speculations. Remember Salomon Rashdi? He wrote a negative book about islam and there was a bounty on his head. Try being a non believer in Iran, Iraq and others.

Peace has never been, that is why we have a naturel belief in a supreme deity who promises peace. The world is governed by man but even in the myths of the gods there is war amongst them, and if we come from them then... Don't ask yourselves why there is such a thing as war. I don't advocate it but it's there and man alone is not in power to bring peace, that is why we need God or Allah or whoever. Then again their own stories are filled with war and destruction... You raise a valid point only it's not just Islam. And by the way in parts of the world it is against the law to change religion or else your severely punished or put to death.

In the Christian Bible is says, "thou shall not judge". Most Christians do not follow that. Is there a similiar thing in Islam? Asked by Anonymous - Tue May 12 02:15:09 2009 - - 16 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes! It is very wrong in Islam to judge others even according to the holy Quran, were supposted to leave that to God, because only he knows who is wrong and who will be forgiven. "O you who believe! Shun much suspicion; for lo! some suspicion is a sin." "O you who believe! stand out firmly for Allah, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of any people make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear Allah. For Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do. " [Surah al-Ma'idah: 8] [49:11]"O ye who believe! let not one people deride another people, who may be better than they, nor let women deride other women, who may be better than they.

Q. I've wondered for a long time why this is. It seems like quite a few black men convert to Islam while in prison. Why is this? Why is it that quite a few black men convert to Islam while in prison but not as many white, mexican or asian men? Why Islam? They don't convert before prison but while in prison? Also, does anyone happen to know a good book on this topic? Thanks! Asked by Bill - Sun Jun 14 18:56:13 2009 - - 14 Answers - 0 Comments A. African American men in general and historically speaking have had their identity taking from them. When the slaves where brought to America they already had a religion and once arriving in they Americas it was taking from them and so where their names. The slaves watched their identities of who they where being taking from them. African Americans in particular are they only people who know less about themselves. So when the Black man go to jail they are confined to literature and they end up finding out the truth about themselves. Their true names and so forth etc. I am able to speak on this topic because i am a Black women who has done her research and found out who i really am. I am now a happy muslim women.

It is the second-largest religion in the world today, with an estimated 1.84 billion adherents, spread across the globe, known as Muslims.[1] Linguistically, Islam means submission, referring to the total surrender of one's self to God (Arabic: الله, Allāh), and a Muslim is "one who submits to God".
