Answer 2

The correct answer is A. Islam is a monotheistic religion founded by the prophet Muhammad.

Step-by-step explanation:

Islam is an Abrahamic, monotheistic religion based on the Koran, which establishes as a fundamental premise for its believers that "There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the last messenger of Allah."

Islamic scholars define Islam as: "Submission to God the Most High through monotheism, obedience and the abandonment of idolatry." The followers of Islam are called Muslims. They believe that Muhammad is the last of the prophets sent by God. The holy book of Islam is the Koran, which according to the Muslims was dictated by Allah to Muhammad through Jibreel (the archangel Gabriel).
