What do you know about Islam

Very little but that does not mean I respect Him less than Jesus or my G-d. I believe all religions are paths to the same Being. His/ Her name changes with all the different peoples but the Being is the same. Islam is just another path.

I feel that this (religion) is a sensitive subject to discuss here. The best thing is to get proper information from reliable sources and make your own individual choice.

I can honestly say that I know very little about Islam. I began to read a translation of the Quran but (please don't be offended by this) I think I read about 10 pages and all it seemed to say was "praise Allah". Obviously, that's a major part of Islam but it did get boring after a while and I thought most readers would have got the point early on. Anyway, I know that Islam is religion of Muslim people (why is that? I mean Christians are of a Christian religion, Jews are of a Judaic religion, Hindus are of a Hindu religion, etc. so why two completely lexically unrelated words used for Muslim/Islam? Perhaps they are just translations and the words are more similar in Arabic languages. I hope you don't think I am being ignorant here. I'm just curious. Sorry, I have gone off topic. I do that a lot! What do I know about Islam? I know that Muslims believe in Islam. The holy book is called the Quran (or Koran or Qur'an). The God of Islam is called Allah. The Prophet Muhammad. I know nothing about him other than that he was an Islamic Prophet. I know a little about different celebrations such as Ramadan and Eid El Fitr. I don't know what they're all about though just that some festivals, etc. go on for a long time compared to other religious festivals and that most people have to fast at Ramadan (with the exception of, I believe, pregnant women, people who are sick, very young children and the very old). Sorry, that's about all I know of Islam. :)

I think Islam and the Prophet Muhammad are being sabortaged but I do not know why this is happening. It is common where I live that a competitor tries to disminish its competition by sabortaging it by spreading lies about it and whatnot. If the competitor tries to diminish its competition by cheating, doesnt that show that it is not good in the first place? Dear muslims, I apologise to regard Islam as a competitor (because God knows we muslims arent competing, more so by obnoxious remarks by a certain famous terrorist) but I receive an email from a dear Christian friend who told me what is going on secretly, lies and distorted views about Islam to be circled around. I have never received emails that warn me against other faiths, I can judge by myself with my own eyes and the guide of Islam. Why cant other people with other faiths do the same, spreading what is good about their own faith rather than spend precious time writing lies about Islam?

A little bit. One of my hobbies is studying religion. I find religion interesting and fascinating. So I have researched Islam and have been open to learning about it. Like every other religion, Islam has its pluses and its minuses, in my own opinion. Again, in my opinion, it has its strengths and weaknesses. And that is how i feel about every other religion or spiritual path. I have attended different types of religious services. I have not tried to attend a muslim one yet because I am not certain that I would be comfortable or welcome. I prefer services where men and women sit together and there is music and singing. I know a little bit about The Prophet Muhammad from my studies about Islam.

Although i am a hindu but i have many friends who are muslim and i know a bit about islam. Islam is a good religion alike other religions of the world but i wonder why islamic people practice practices like FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION and CIRCUMCISION. Why are these practices being done in the name of ALLAH and RELIGION even if the holy QURAN STRICTLY REFUSES SUCH PRACTICES TO BE DONE. Quran says that EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD MADE BY GOD IS "PERFECT". This statement concludes that we have NO RIGHT to change or alter or modify what god has already built. I saw a few videos on youtube few days back and trust me,since then i feel so bad for those small kids who need to undergo such traumatic procedures.:(

It came from God.

Not much. My understanding is that its first precept is "There is no God but Allah..." and that is enough to know that it is a religion to which I do not and will not subscribe, as I believe there are many, many Gods indeed.

Hello samar, I'm muslim and I still learn more about my relion "islam". And prophet Muhammad saw is last prophet. And he is best figure all about of his life. And we have to follow him. In my holybook Al-Qur'an stated that islam to make perfectly all religion formerly and Muhammad as last prophet and no more prophet after that. Islam had given rules all of life. About relationship to god and relationship to other human. How to pray, how to make relationship to other people, how to eat, how to drink, how to wear a dress, how to my parents, how to married, how to family and many rules on my religion. And all of rules to make human good life in the world and after. And many others... That are a few describe of islam
