Majority of Muslims belong to what branch of Islam?

Answer 1

Muslims are followers of Islam religion.

ExplanationIslam is an Arabic word that means submission and surrender to God (Allah) the Creator. The Arabic root of the word 'Islam' is 'salem' that means in English 'to be in peace'. accordingly Islam is submission and surrender to God (Allah in Arabic) the Creator and hence achieving peace in the universe.

In this universal sense and meaning of Islam, you conclude that Islam is as old as the universe creation. In this sense the first creation of any thing alive or not alive was created on the principle of Islam, that is submission to God (Allah in Arabic) the Creator. Then upon creation of mankind, creation that started by creation of Adam, all God prophets; including Adam, Noah, ... , Abraham, ..., Moses, ..., Jesus, and Muhammad; called people to Islam, that means submission to God (Allah) the Creator the one and only one God.

• Islam per God revelation of Torah to Prophet Moses is called Judaism.
• Islam religion per God revelation of The Bible to Prophet Jesus is called Christianity.
• Islam religion per God revelation of Quran to Prophet Muhammad is called the very name Islam.

This very name Islam is the religion per Quran revelation by God to prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel. Quran revelation started by year 610 AD (when prophet Muhammad was 40 years old) and continued through year 632 AD (year of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) death.

To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission?
