Islam positively afffects the culture of its followers. Islam has no culture of its own and it only regulates the local culture of its followers. the result is that the people retain their own culture and yet they accomodate the Islam. The influence of Islam only provides for equality of women and rule of law and provides for punishment for a few crimes. For the most parts, the culture of the country prevails.

God can reveal things through nature and signs in the sky. He can also reveal things through preachers and reading of the bible.

Islam is the religion preached by all the Prophets of Allah Karim. Islam is neither Sunni nor Shiita. The last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (SAW) preached Islam and his holy Companions (May Allah Karim be pleased with him) practised Islam during and after his life time. Very unfortunately, conspiracies worked and there was a split after the death of the Fourth Rightful Caliph Hazrat Ali (May Allah be pleased with him). There was no Shiia SECT during the reign of first three Rightful Caliphs. Hazrat Ali (RAU) in whose name this sect was created had been a sincere and active adviser of these three Caliphs. How can he be such a coward to hide his True self during all these years of his life? He and all the members of his family had been receiving stipends from these three Caliphs. How could he receive all favours from them if he didn't consider them to be Rightful? Was he a hypocrite? No, He was much above this meanness. He was the Lion Of Allah Almighty. All the Muslims, included the Sunnies, respect and love him from the depths of their hearts. The love of Ahl-i-Bait is the foundation of Each Muslim.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was established on September 23, 1932, but had been more-or-less unified by 1927. Prior to that point, there were a number of smaller sheikhdoms in central Arabia, one of which was ruled over by the Saudi family, called Nejd.

He was a Sunni, Original khans(either pashto speaking or non pashto speaking) belong to Hanafi Sunni Islam and are very radical.

Disagreements over Succession after Mohammed's death.

The Muslim community was united while Mohammed was the leader of this community. Most Muslims hold, however, that he never specifically chose a successor to his leadership. There was a minority in the community that supported the candidacy of 'Ali, the Prophet's son-in-law, this political faction became known as the "Supporters of 'Ali" which in Arabic is Shiat 'Ali (where the modern term "Shiite" comes from). They derived their support from specific hadiths and events that they claimed showed that God had revealed to Mohammed that 'Ali would succeed him. The majority of Muslims held that these hadiths and events showed nothing more than that 'Ali was very pious, something they did not deny. Therefore they gave power to the man who was Mohammed's second-in-command and father-in-law Abu Bakr. This majority were called the People of the Customs [of the Prophet] which in Arabic is Ahl Sunna (from where the modern term "Sunni" comes from.)

After the assassination of the third Caliph 'Othman (successor of Mohammed), 'Ali came to power, something that excited the Shiites. The Governor of Damascus, Mu'awiya, 'Othman's kinsman, demanded that 'Ali find and punish those responsible for the murder. 'Ali began an investigation, but Mu'awiya claimed it was taking too long and demanded the power to pursue the guilty himself. This led to Mu'awiya rising up against 'Ali to claim the Caliphate. Those that sided with Mu'awiya would become the Sunnis and those who sided with 'Ali became the Shiites.

Answer

Muslims and Christians follow Islam and Christianity respectively both revealed by Allah/God. Muslims believe the birth of Jesus from maiden Mary was a miracle of Allah and his religion had been revealed by Allah as his third religion and commandments to some other Prophets like Abraham, Moses, Noah etc. Islam the last religion of Allah came to witness the revelations of the previous all three religions. Jesus came from a Jew mother, a descendant Israel of Ishak son of Abraham and Prophet Mohamed who brought the religion Islam a descendant of Ismael who was one of the son of Abraham and brother of Ishak. According to this, Muhammad and Jesus were from Abraham and both followed the religion (Oneness of God) of Abraham . Both Muslims and Christians believe that Jesus will come again to the earth before the end of this world. Muslims and Christians believe Moses and his miracle of spliting the sea, Noah and his miracle of the great deluge, Abraham and his miracles and the miraculous birth of Ishak from an old barren lady and old abraham. And there are somany things behind them.

These are some of the recent Muslims contribution to society.

Arabia was majority pagan before the arrival of Islam. They believed in many gods (polytheism) and were open the idea of there being many other gods besides what they worshipped (henotheism).

Allah was the creator sky God who was supreme above the other gods. However he was not directly accessible to Mankind so they worshipped an array of intercessor gods and demons who interceded to Allah on behalf of the person praying.

The chief of these gods was Hubal. Hubal was portrayed as a man of rock with an arm of gold. Then there were the chief three goddesses Al-Lat (considered feminine form of Allah), Al-Uzza & Al-Manat. They were considered to be the daughters of Allah. Al-Lat was the mother goddess, she was also said to have been worshipped in Carthage and the Levant. She has been depicted riding a camel and is equated with Roman Minerva and Greek Athena. Al-Uzza was a war goddess and Goddess of Beauty, the pagan Arabs envoked her before heading into battle. She was portrayed as some kind of warrior queen and has been equated with Egyptian Isis and Greek Aphrodite. The third was Al-Manat who is said to have been the most ancient of the three. She was the Goddess of time and fate and was associated with death. She is equated with the Graeco-Roman goddess Nemesis.

Other major deities of the pagan Arabs included;

Wadd - Love and Friendship

Dhu'l'Khalasa - Oracular god of white stone

Manaf - Women and Menses

Ta'lab - Oracular deity originating from Sheba

Dhushara - Lord of the Mountain

Amm - Moon god, associated with Weather and Lightning

Al-Qaum - War and Night. Envoked to protect caravans.

The pagan Arabs also believed in minor gods and demons known as Jinn (Jinnee, Genie). Belief in Jinns remained as a part of Islam. Marids and Ifrits were two types of Jinn. There were other monsters such as Ghouls, who roamed the deserts at night and ate the flesh of the dead. There was also the Nasnas, depicted as half a man. It was said to have been a dangerous and agile creature. Bahamuth (Behemoth) was a large creature that crushed its victims.

The pagan Arabs didn't believe in an afterlife. They believed that once you died that was it, you were dust.

The Kabah (cube in Mecca) was filled with some 360 idol prior to the arrival of Islam. The exact worship rituals of the Pagan Arabs are not known but there are references to them. Circumabulating around the Kabah as Muslims do today while performing Hajj or Umrah was one of the mentioned rituals. It is more than likely that they prostrated and bowed infront of their idols and gave offerings (possibly food, clothes, water, wealth etc). Swaying, playing tambourines, reciting poetry and dancing may have also formed part of the worship rituals of the pre-Islamic Arabs. Sacrifices of animals and even humans (often babies) have been documented. These were said to be done in times of great need but cannot be said for certain. It is possible that the burying of infant daughters as documented in the Qur'an may have been linked to such human sacrifice rituals but cannot be verified.

God promised Abram (Abraham) that he would be a father of many nations and that through him all nations would be blessed. It is believed that this was a reference to a promised Messiah. God also promised him and his descendants "all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession." [This possession was not realized in Abraham's lifetime, but only after the exile of the children of Israel (Abraham's grandson) to Egypt, the Exodus from there following Moses and the 40 years wandering in the desert.] For his part, Abraham was to see to it that all males in his household were to be circumcised, and that this would continue with all his progeny. Genesis 17 3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, 4As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. 5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. 6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. 8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. 9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. 10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

It is believed that death will end the time that you were given on this earth. After death, you will go back to the earth or dissolve, till you are summoned again (on the Day of Judgement).

As long as you are alive, you continue to do good or bad deeds. All of it is recorded. Death ends you time to do any deed. Then, you are summoned and told about the good v/s bad deeds which you did, when you were alive. Based on which way the balance tilts, whether you have more rewards or sins, you are shown your place--Heaven or Hell. Remember, all can be forgiven except "shirk" or worshipping or having faith on others, instead of Allah. Believing that an email / stone / amulet / ring etc can bring you good / bad luck is also shirk. God bless you for asking

They are obligated to pray 5 times a day, facing the Qibla: Allah's (God's) House, in Mecca. Prayer times are usually based on the Islamic Calendar which is based on the moon.
