Step-by-step explanation:
Islam (/ˈɪslɑːm/;[a] Arabic: اَلْإِسْلَامُ, romanized: al-’Islām, [ɪsˈlaːm] (audio speaker iconlisten)) is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion teaching that Muhammad is a messenger of God.[1][2] It is the world's second-largest religion with 1.9 billion followers or 24.9% of the world's population,[3][4] known as Muslims.[5] Islam teaches that God is merciful, all-powerful, and unique,[6] and has guided humanity through prophets, revealed scriptures, and natural signs.[2][7] The primary scriptures of Islam are the Quran, believed to be the verbatim word of God, as well as the teachings and practices (sunnah), in traditional accounts (hadith) of Muhammad (c. 570 – 632 CE).[8]
Muslims believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that was revealed many times before through prophets such as Adam, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus.[9] Muslims consider the Quran, in Arabic, to be the unaltered and final revelation of God.[10] Like other Abrahamic religions, Islam also teaches a final judgment with the righteous rewarded in paradise and the unrighteous punished in hell.[11] Religious concepts and practices include the Five Pillars of Islam, which are obligatory acts of worship, as well as following Islamic law (sharia), which touches on virtually every aspect of life and society, from banking and welfare to women and the environment.[12][13] The cities of Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem's are home to the three holiest sites in Islam.[14]
