What is Islam? Islam is one of the world's most popular religions,
and one that appears regularly in world news, was founded in the Arabia
Desert south of Mesopotamia in the early 7th century,
a monotheistic religion originating with the teachings of Muhammad. The word Islam means "submission", or the
full amount surrender of oneself to God
(Arabic: الله, Allāh).
In the Arabian Desert, in towns called Mecca and
Medina, Islam developed. Islam is the predominant religion
throughout the Middle East, as well as in parts of Africa and Asia. About 20
percent of Muslims (person who embrace immeasurable of Islam)
live in Arab countries. The second largest religion is Islam after

MOSLEM THEOLOGY
The characteristics of Islam: monotheism. How
about Jesus in Islamic theology? In Islamic
theology, Jesus was just a man and not the son of God; God is described in a
chapter (sura) of the Qur'an as "…God, the One and Only; God, the
Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none
like unto Him."
According to the
Qur'an all Moslems have to suppose in God, his revelations, his angels, his
messengers, and in the "Day of Judgment". Belief in angels is crucial to the
reliance of Islam. According to the Qur'an, angels do not possess free will,
and worship God in perfect obedience. Muhammad was God's final prophet and
the Qur'an is the revelations he received over more than two decades, began
preaching Islam at Mecca before migrating to Medina, from where he united
the tribes of Arabia into a singular Arab Moslem religious polity,
died without naming his successor and a
struggle for the control of Islam ensued.
Moslem jurists consult the hadith,
or the written record of Muhammad's life, to supplement the Qur'an and
assist with its interpretation in Islam.
