What are the follwers of Islam called?

Answer 1

Answer

A follower of Islam is called a Muslim (مسلم‎ in Arabic). The word literally means "one who submits (to Allah)" and is based on revelations to the prophet Mohammed (various spellings) from Allah.

A Muslim is defined not only by their beliefs, but by actions: the five pillars of Islam are the guiding light of the religion, and include a basic oath of faith and recognition; 5 daily prayers; annual obligatory charity; ritual fasting during a specific month; and a pilgrimage to be taken at least once in life. Special dietary and behavioral laws, in addition to standard social laws, are also built up and included in the religion, and must be strictly adhered to.

The followers of Islam are called the Muslims. They believe that Almighty God is ONE. He has no Son, no Wife, no Parents and no offspring. He is the Sole Creator, Sustainer, Provider and the ONLY Ruler of all the worlds he has created. The Muslims believe in human brotherhood. They believe in the Angels, Religious books, Prophets and the Day of Judgement. The believe that Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (SAW) is the last messenger (Prophet) of Almighty God.

The followers of Islam are called the Muslims. Because Muslims have to obey the Islamic teaching and the laws commanded by Almighty God(Allah) delivered by Prophet Mohammed(Peach Be Upon Him). See more on ISLAM in Answer.COM.

Islam is a monotheistic religion. People who believe in Islam are called Muslims. Muslims believe in the god Allah and completing Arkan-ul-Islam, or the five pillars of Islam. Muslims are forbidden to gamble, gossip, be lazy, eat pig or Gelatin, drink blood, or do anything that can create an addiction. Beliefs in Islam:

1. Belief in One Supreme and Ever Existing God who cannot die, tell lies and fulfils His promises. He sustains everything. He is the Creator and will destroy everything He created. In Hebrew EEL means god and in Arabic EElah or Ilah الہ means god. AL + ILAH becomes Allah - The God ther Unique and One.
2. Belief in Angels, This means believing in Super-Human creations of God. There are so many of them and only God knows how many they are what duties they perform.
3. Belief in Prophets: This belief means there came about 124000 Prophets in all regions. Every Nation in all times got its Prophet to guide. But it was followers' duty to preserve the message of God. Until the Last Prophet Muhammad PBUH came and God took this duty himself. Hence, there is no version of Quran, its single book with no doubts or contradictions. No grouping over its authenticity. More, all Prophets are equal in Islam so no one worships Prophet Muhammad PBUH in Islam. (A common misunderstanding found) All prophets though we know them are not who so ever they were are highly regarded in Islam that whenever you talk about them and say their names like Jesus Son Of Mary (PBUH), its must to say with humble and respect and bith while saying and writing you must say علیہ السلام which means Peace be Upon Him. Jesus Son Of Mary in Arabic عیسیٰ بن مریم علیہ اسلام (Isaa bin Maryam PBUH) [Also called کلمتہ اللہ Word of God , روح اللہ Spirit of God, ابن مریم Son of Mary and مسیح الموعود the promised Massih the Christ] is also accepted Christ and one of the mightiest (in miracles and mercy) Prophets of God. A must to remember key is Islam believes in Perfection of religion in every way so no more Prophets, Apostles or Messengers etc. The Holy Spirit; the Archangel Gabriel Will not Descend again with new or old message in anyway. And hence Prophet Muhammad PBUH is the final Prophet from Allah and Quran is the Final Testament and Final Law. And now there is no room for any new commandment or Law. This is now Allah's responsibility to preserve and made safe His word and it's people's responsibility to establish Law in lives to society. This also needs a much more detail not possible here.
4. Belief in Books: According to Islam, every prophet was given a bigger or smaller book. Some came with new version of Law and many came to just establish the previous given. In the first case The New Law prevailed and old one was respectfully nullified. But it was must to believe in its (the previous') authenticity as God's word. But it was followers' duty to preserve and protect in its original text form. All these times whenever the Law was shown dishonesty and was manipulated, a New one was given. Whenever people forgot to follow law as a whole a new reformer came from God, to establish the writ of Law. Moses PBUH was given Torah and later Prophets came to re-establish the state on foundation of Torah. But they got their own little books called Sahifa (singular, Plural is Sahaif صحائف). Which contained commands to follow the Law.
5. Belief in Fate: This must not be mixed with (and got confused with) Fortune. Fate includes (i) Time of Birth (ii)Place of Birth (iii) Age (Changeable) (iv) Time of Death (According to Age) (iii) Place of Death. Now what fortuneis? Fortune is everything in life which we do like our education, status and style of life and career etc. It depends upon how we do and what we do. According to Holy Quran, "There is nothing for man save what he struggles for." And in Hadith "The deeds depend upon intention". So if one is struggling but his tries are in wrong direction, he will be first judged upon by intentions not by acts, so if intention was right then he will be forgiven and will be blessed. Similarly if intention is wrong and is deceitful and evil then it doesn't matter what he does he will have his very little reward only to the extent he is doing an act. But no blessings, yet an equal wrath from God. This needs further explanation which is not fit for small text box.

The above 5 points are must to believe in. The Code of Islam: is in two things (I) Islam is from root word Sallm and Sallam means Submission and Peace. So according to Islamic teaching one must surrender one's will to God. Secondly one must make it sure to be peaceful according to Islam neighborhood is must to take care of. One must pay respect to elders and be kind to youngers. Submission makes him firm on faith and Peace makes him loving and kind. Again there is much to say on this subject. (II) Islam talks about Establishing Good and Preventing Bad elements in (i) Personal life and (ii) society. Personal Life in Islam: About personal life, Islam orders to submit one's will to God and do as directed in outline of life. Islam pays stress upon not to be just priest and doing Worship all the time. It is must for a Muslim to maintain good health and take care of oneself. Because Health is an
