HISTORY

Islam  is the monotheistic religion articulated by the Qur’an, a text considered by its

adherents to be the verbatim word of God, and by the teachings and normative example

(called the Sunnah and composed of Hadith) of Muhammad, considered by them to be the

last prophet of God. An adherent of Islam is called a Muslim.

Muslims believe that God is one and incomparable and the purpose of existence is

to worship God. Muslims also believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of

a primordial faith that was revealed at many times and places before, including

through Abraham, Moses and Jesus, whom they consider prophets . Muslims maintain

that previous messages and revelations have been partially changed or corrupted over

time, but consider the Qur'an to be both the unaltered and the final revelation of God.

 Religious concepts and practices include the five pillars of Islam, which are basic

concepts and obligatory.

THE PERSON WHO FOUND ISLAMIC

Mohammad  was the founder  of the religion of Islam, and is considered by Muslims

to be a messenger and prophet of God, the last law-bearer in a series of Islamic

prophets, and, by most Muslims,  the last prophet of God as taught by

the Quran. Muslims thus consider him the restorer of an uncorrupted

original monotheistic  faith (Islam) of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and other

prophets. He was also active as a social

reformer, diplomat, merchant, philosopher, orator, legislator, military leader,

humanitarian, philanthropist, and, according to Muslim belief, an agent of divine

action.

Born in 570 in the Arabian city of Mecca, he was orphaned at an early age and

brought up under the care of his uncle Abu Talib. He later worked mostly as a

merchant, as well as a shepherd, and was first married by age 25. Discontented with

life in Mecca, he retreated to a cave in the surrounding mountains for meditation and

reflection. According to Islamic beliefs it was here, at age 40, in the month

of Ramadan, where he received his first revelation from God. Three years after this

event Muhammad started preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming that "God

is One", that complete "surrender" to Him (lit. Islam) is the only way (din)  acceptable

to God, and that he himself was a prophet and messenger of God, in the same vein

as other Islamic prophets.

THE CEREMONIES IN ISLAMIC

Akikah. An informal birth ceremony. This ceremony is not practiced widely.

Shadada. The marking of a young Muslim’s formal entry into Islam. There is

no set age for this rite, though it is most commonly celebrated during the

teenage years.

Marriage Ritual. Witnesses observe the groom’s formal offer of marriage and

the brides acceptance of it. There is no elaborate ceremony. The waleemah is

the reception which includes music and dancing.

Funerals and Mourning. This includes the recitation of the janazah (prayers

for the dead) at the gravesite and may include a service at the funeral home.

Muslims do not condone cremation and burial of the dead takes place within 24

hours of death. The official mourning period for a family member is 40 days.

THE PERCENTAGE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THIS RELIGION ALL

AROUND THE WORLD

Most Muslims belong to one of two denominations; with 80-90%

being Sunni and 10-20% being Shia. About 13% of Muslims live

in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country, 25% in South Asia, 20% in

the Middle East, 2% in Central Asia, 4% in the remaining South

East Asian countries, and 15% in Sub-Saharan Africa. Sizable

communities are also found in China and Russia, and parts of Europe.

Converts and immigrant communities are found in almost every part of

the world (see Islam by country). With about 1.41-1.57 billion Muslims,

comprising about 21-23% of the world's population,  Islam is the second-

largest religion  and one of the fastest-growing religions in the world.
