Islam is a religious system begun in the seventh century by
Muhammad. Muslims follow the teachings of the Qur’an and
strive to keep the Five Pillars.
The History of Islam
In the seventh century, Muhammad claimed that the angel
Gabriel visited him. During these angelic visitations, which
continued for about 23 years until Muhammad's death, the angel
purportedly revealed to Muhammad the words of Allah (the
Arabic word for “God” used by Muslims). These dictated
revelations compose the Qur'an, Islam's holy book. Islam means
“submission,” deriving from a root word that means “peace.”
The word
Muslim
means “one who submits to Allah.”
The Doctrine of Islam
Muslims summarize their doctrine in six articles of faith:
1. Belief in one Allah: Muslims believe Allah is one,
eternal, creator, and sovereign.
2. Belief in the angels.
3. Belief in the prophets: The prophets include the biblical
prophets, but end with Muhammad as Allah’s final
prophet.
4. Belief in the revelations of Allah: Muslims accept certain
portions of the Bible, such as the Torah (5-books of
Moses) and the Gospels. They believe the Qur'an is the
preexistent, perfect word of Allah.
