Not at all, although in view of ISIS's 2014 rout of the Iraqi Army, yours is a very commonly-asked question. The answer is that military prowess is related to 'motivation' and 'training', instead of large amounts of expensive equipment, as US Marine operations in Iraq's Anbar Province (2006-2007) and Afghanistan's Helmand Province (2009-2013) proved. In Helmand Province, the Taliban were heard on the radio frantically asking "what do we do? They ignore our bullets as if they are water!"

No. While it was the case that in the 600s, when the Qur'an was revealed and Islam formed, it allowed the disparate Arab tribes to come together and become an unstoppable fighting force for around 50 years, Islam does not have many ideological traits that would be useful for creating a sustained military presence. As a result, the military prowess of any particular Islamic state often has to due with factors other than Islam, such as economic success, political unity, technological access, etc.
