Circumcision, though not mentioned in the Qur'an, is practiced among Islamic peoples and is most often considered to be a Sunnah (a holy tradition). The explanation for Muslim circumcision is that it is a sign of Abraham's covenant with God. This is the same explanation that is used in Judaism.

Some Muslim scholars believe circumcision is a requirement. Some others say it is not required. There is even a movement within Islam that opposes circumcision on the basis of the belief that it is a sin to alter the body in any way.

In Muslim countries where it is practiced circumcision usually pre-dates Islam. For instance, there are records of it being common in Egypt as far back as the Sixth Dynasty (2345 - 2181 BC).
Because Gods wanted all descendants of Abraham to be circumcised.

Do Muslims circumcise their sons?

Yes, it is compulsory to circumcise males; not females; per God commands to prophet Abraham (PBUH) and per Islam teachings. Many Muslims do circumcise their children as a sort of right of passage into manhood. However there id no mention of the requirement for circumcision in their religion. there is also no evidence that Mohammad was circumcised and it is very unlikely that he was as it was a Jewish practice. It was said that Mohammad was born circumcised that is an usual physical deformity. and there is no command for circumcision other then one made by Muslim clerics as the religion became more perverse ther developed a demand for the sexual mutilation of their children any of their girls are also mutilted.
