Islam

No, its branch of Islam.

shia and sunni have mostly same beliefs

but shia believe after death of prophet God select the successive of prophet who is the leader of Muslim community and people can not select it.

shia believe the Imam (successor of prophet) is appointed only by God and can not be selected by people because God said in Koran: "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." (Quran 2:30)

this means only God can select an Islamic leader.

in shia they are only fourteen infallible (12 Imams and prophet and his daughter Fatimah Zahra (sa))

and all of them are the same and have no mistake and have the knowledge of everything (this knowledge is from God and by permission of God and is not absolute knowledge. absolute knowledge is only for God and they still do not know many things. but they know anything human may need to know.) and they never die and they hear all sayings and even thinks of all humans after their death by permission of God and they are intermediates between God and human.

and shia Muslims always support them and forgive their lives for them.

shia muslims do not consider selection of Abubakr as Caliphet valid because God did not select him. they believe God ordered prophet to declear Ali is selected as successor of prophet (Quran 5:3) and prophet did this mission in Ghadir event that was in last Hajj of prophet in his life and prophet did a speech for 120,000 Muslims participating that Hajj with prophet. the famous shia book Al-Ghadir is a collection of evidences and proofs for Ghadir Hadith from 100,000 sunni refrences and read all of 10,000 sunny books. one sunni scholar said if we want to reply Al-Ghadir book (by Allamah Amini) we should first destroy all our books.

In the medieval period, Muslims were primarily in the Middle East, North Africa, West Africa, Eastern Coastal Africa, Southeastern Europe, parts of the Indian Subcontinent, and the Indonesian Archipelago; roughly the same as their distribution today (sans immigration to the Western World).

In the Qur'an it says: There is not an animal on earth, nor a bird that flies on its wings, but they are communities like you... Qur'an 6:38 Muslims believe that: all living creatures were made by Allah Allah loves all animals animals exist for the benefit of human beings animals must be treated with kindness and compassion Muslims are instructed to avoid: treating animals cruelly over-working or over-loading animals neglecting animals hunting animals for sport hunting for food is permitted if the animals are killed humanely cutting the mane or tail of a horse animal fighting as a sport factory farming Using animals is permitted The Qur'an explicitly states that animals can be used for human benefit. It is God who provided for you all manner of livestock, that you may ride on some of them and from some you may derive your food. And other uses in them for you to satisfy your heart's desires. It is on them, as on ships, that you make your journeys. Qur'an 40:79-80 Muhammad and animals There are many stories and sayings of the Prophet that demonstrate his concern for the welfare of animals. Once someone travelling with the Prophet took some eggs from a nest, causing the mother bird great grief. The Prophet saw this and told the man to return the eggs. When the Prophet was asked if Allah rewarded acts of charity to animals, he replied: 'Yes, there is a reward for acts of charity to every beast alive.' The Prophet said "Whoever kills a sparrow or anything bigger than that without a just cause, Allah will hold him accountable on the Day of Judgment." The Prophet explained that a killing would be for a just cause if it was for food.

A Christian asked a Muslim: why do your women cover their bodies and hair?

The Muslim smiled and got two sweets he opened the first one and kept the other one closed. He threw them both on to the dusty floor and asked the Christian if I asked you to take one of the sweets which one will you choose.

The Christian replied: the covered one

Then the Muslim said: in the same way that the wrapper protected its sweet from the dust the hijab protects our ladies from the sins and bad of this world.

He didn't invent, but rather used the word, "al-jabr," which means "restoration" in Arabic, to describe his method of defining an unknown quantity as a variable and then manipulating it within an equation to arrive at its value. In other words, "al-jabr" means to perform an algebraic process, hence the word "algebra" being derived from it.

His name (Al-Khwarizmi) is the root for the word "algorithm" although Al-Khwarizmi himself did not coin the word.

Islam doesn't exactly have a single creed, but five pillars that act in a similar way.

The first pillar is profession of faith in Allah (God) and Mohammed as his prophet. Essentially it is saying that "There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet." This is all one has to say to become a Muslim and is ideally what Muslims try to say as their last words. The second pillar is to pray five times a day, at sunrise, sunset, noon, midafternoon, and nightfall. The third is to pay alms or give to charity. The fourth is to fast from sunup to sundown during the holy month of Ramadan. The last, called hajj, is to make or help someone make the pilgrimage to the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia at least once in one's lifetime. The other basic no-no's of Islam are no drinking, blood feuds, gambling, of infanticide.

Mainly the spelling is wrong. It has two spellings Arslan and Arsalan. Both of them are pronounced differently the first one is pronounced as ARSS-LAN the second one is pronounced as ARSSA-LAN. The 'SS' is pronounced as the sss as the steaming kettle. But the meaning of the both is the same and it is LION the king of the jungle as we know it. The has the origin from the urdu language.

Juma comes from the Arabic word for "group" (جمع) and, in Islam, it refers to a group of people who pray as a congregation.

That's Friday. Muslims celebrate it by praying and reading Quran. And Juma means a group. In muslim countries , Friday is a holiday because , muslims were ordered to do a current prayers "Juma prayers" at noon on Friday on it's time and you can't pray it if you're not in a mosque.

at start of Islam Yemen was for Persian empire and people of Yemen themselves converted Islam before Muslims attack Persian Empire.

Salman Farsi (one Persian and of best companions of prophet) had a great role in introduce of Islam to Iranians of that time (including current Yemen)

Jews, Christians and Muslims all believe Abraham to have been the one figure of ancient times from which they can trace their common heritage. For this reason, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are sometimes referred to as Abrahamic religions.

He is not the "main deity". He is the Only Deity. The One God of Abraham. In Hebrew Eloha, in Aramaic (the language of Jesus) Alaha, and in Arabic Allah.

This is the only God that has ever been. No partners has He, and no offspring. He is not like His creation, and is not within His creation. He is beyond all creation and beyond all senses.

"Say He, alone, is God. The One upon whom everything completely depends upon - for everything. He does not beget offspring, nor was He begotten of anyone; and there is nothing at all like unto Him". Qur'an, Chapter 112

Muslims are the one people who refuse to worship anything other than the One God, alone.

Hinduism is possibly the most ancient formal religion still practised. It is thousands of years older than Islam.
