Islam is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion that emphasizes submission to the will of Allah, the Arabic term for God. The term "Islam" itself means "submission" or "surrender," reflecting the faith's core principle of surrendering to God's will.

Muslims, the followers of Islam, believe that Allah's word was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel. They hold that Muhammad is the final prophet in a line that includes figures such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. The sacred text of Islam, the Quran, is considered the literal word of God as revealed to Muhammad.

Central to Islamic practice are the Five Pillars, which constitute the core beliefs and practices:

1. Profession of Faith (Shahada): Declaring that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger.

2. Prayer (Salat): Performing ritual prayers in the direction of Mecca five times a day.

3. Almsgiving (Zakat): Giving a portion of one's income to those in need.

4. Fasting (Sawm): Abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs during daylight hours in the month of Ramadan.

5. Pilgrimage (Hajj): Making a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime, if physically and financially able.

Islam is the second-largest religion globally, with over 1.8 billion adherents. It is a universal faith, transcending ethnic and national boundaries, and is practiced by diverse communities worldwide.

The religion's teachings encompass all aspects of life, aiming to guide individuals toward a path of righteousness, justice, and compassion. Muslims strive to live in accordance with the Quran and the Hadith (records of the sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad), seeking to embody virtues such as honesty, humility, and charity.
