∙ 12y agoIslam was taught by Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) about 1400 years ago and since then has remained the fastest growing religion. Islam is the only religion in the world with its book preserved in exactly the same way as it was revealed. Islam stands for universal peace and brotherhood. Islam stands for uplift of women and rule of law. Islam maintains that after this life, we will be resurrected and then sentenced to either hell or paradise depending on our deeds in this world.
Islam, a name given by Allah to this religion (Quran 5:4), is an Arabic word which literally means obedience and peace. ISLAM is derived from the Arabic root "SALEMA": peace, purity, submission and obedience. So 'Islam' would mean the path of those who are obedient to Allah and who establish peace with Him and His creatures. Its follower are called Muslims.
Islam is not a new religion. It is, in essence, the same message and guidance which Allah revealed to all prophets before Prophet Muhammad peace be upon them. However, Islam per God (Allah) revelation of Torah to Moses is called Judaism, Islam per God (Allah) revelation of The Bible to prophet Jesus is called Christianity, and Islam per God (Allah) revelation of Quran to prophet Muhammad is called the very name Islam.
Allah (God) says in the Qur'ân:
"Say, `We believe in ALLAH and that which has been revealed to us, and that which was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and in that which was given to Moses and Jesus and other Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them and to HIM we submit." (Qur'ân 3-85)
