Islam (Arabic: الإسلام al-'islām,
pronounced [ʔislæːm] is the monotheistic religion
articulated by the Qur'an, a text considered by its adherents to be the
verbatim word of the one, incomparable God (Arabic: الل&#
1607;, Allāh), and by the Prophet of Islam Muhammad's teachings and
normative example (in Arabic called the Sunnah, demonstrated in collections
of Hadith). Islam literally means "submission (to God)." Muslim, the word
for an adherent of Islam, is the active participle of the same verb of which
Islām is the infinitive.
Muslims regard their religion as the completed and universal version of a
primordial, monotheistic faith revealed at many times and places before,
including, notably, to the prophets Abraham, Moses and Jesus. Islamic
tradition holds that previous messages and revelations have been changed and
distorted over time. Religious practices include the Five Pillars of Islam,
which are five obligatory acts of worship. Islamic law (Arabic: ش&#
1585;يعة Šarīʿah) touches on virtually every
aspect of life and society, encompassing everything from banking and warfare
to welfare and the environment.
The majority of Muslims belong to one of two denominations, the Sunni and
the Shi'a. Islam is the predominant religion in the Middle East, North
Africa, and large parts of Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Sizable communities
are also found in China and Russia, and parts of the Caribbean. About 13% of
Muslims live in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country, 31% in the Indian
Subcontinent, and 20% in Arab countries. Converts and immigrant communities
are found in almost every part of the world. With approximately 1.57 billion
Muslims comprising about 23% of the world's population, Islam is the second
-largest religion in the world and arguably the fastest growing religion in
the world. | m****a
