Islam (
IZ -la(h)m ;
Arabic : ٱلْإِسْلَام ,
romanized : al-Islām , IPA:
[alʔɪsˈlaːm] ,
lit. 'submission [to the
will of God ]') is an
Abrahamic
monotheistic religion centered on the
Quran and the teachings of
Muhammad , the religion's founder. Adherents of Islam are called
Muslims , who are estimated to number approximately
1.9 billion worldwide and are the world's
second-largest religious population after
Christians .
Muslims believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of a
primordial faith that was revealed many times through earlier
prophets and messengers , including
Adam ,
Noah ,
Abraham ,
Moses , and
Jesus . Muslims consider the Quran to be the verbatim word of
God and the unaltered, final revelation. Alongside the Quran, Muslims also believe in previous
revelations , such as the
Tawrat (the
Torah ), the
Zabur (
Psalms ), and the
Injil (
Gospel ). They believe that
Muhammad is the main and
final Islamic prophet , through whom the religion was completed. The teachings and normative examples of Muhammad, called the
sunnah , documented in accounts called the
hadith , provide a constitutional model for Muslims. Islam emphasizes that God is
one and incomparable . It states that there will be a "
Final Judgment " wherein the righteous will be rewarded in paradise (
jannah ) and the unrighteous will be punished in hell (
jahannam ). The
Five Pillars —considered
obligatory acts of worship—comprise the Islamic oath and creed (
shahada ); daily prayers (
salah ); almsgiving (
zakat ); fasting (
sawm ) in the month of
Ramadan ; and a pilgrimage (
hajj ) to
Mecca . Islamic law,
sharia , touches on virtually every aspect of life, from
banking and finance and
welfare to
men's and
women's roles and the
environment . The two main religious festivals are
Eid al-Fitr and
Eid al-Adha . The three
holiest sites in Islam are
Masjid al-Haram in Mecca,
Prophet's Mosque in
Medina , and
al-Aqsa Mosque in
Jerusalem .
The religion of Islam originated in Mecca in 610
CE . Muslims believe this is when
Muhammad received his first revelation . By the time of his death, most of the
Arabian Peninsula had
converted to Islam . Muslim rule expanded outside Arabia under the
Rashidun Caliphate and the subsequent
Umayyad Caliphate ruled from the
Iberian Peninsula to the
Indus Valley . In the
Islamic Golden Age , specifically during the reign of the
Abbasid Caliphate , much of the Muslim world experienced a
scientific ,
economic and
cultural flourishing . The
expansion of the Muslim world involved
various states and caliphates as well as extensive trade and religious conversion as a result of
Islamic missionary activities (
dawah ), as well as through
conquests ,
imperialism , and
colonialism . (
