Islam

Islam Next to Christianity, Islam is the next most popular religion of the world, with 1.3 billion followers accounted for in 2002. The word “Islam” comes from the Arabic word which means the submission or surrender of one’s will to the only true god worthy of worship, which they call “Allah”. Anyone who follows the religion of Islam is termed a “Muslim.” The main focus of Islam is the worship of Allah alone and the avoidance of worship directed to any person, place, or thing other than Allah. Islam rejects the worship of Allah’s creation and instead encourages the worship of Allah himself. Similar to the other major religions, such as Christianity and Judaism, Muslims believe in one unique God. Unlike Christianity and Judaism though, Muslims believe that Allah has neither a son nor partner and should be worshipped alone; no one shares in His divinity or attributes. Islam also rejects the existence of any human form of God. They acknowledge Jesus as a prophet, not the son of God. Any human form of God is considered blasphemous because God is far removed from every human imperfection.
