Answer:

Muslim

Islam, major world religion promulgated by the Prophet Muhammad in Arabia in the 7th century ce. Muslims are monotheistic and worship one, all-knowing God, who in Arabic is known as Allah.

Step-by-step explanation:

Islam is a way of life based on the teachings of God as recognised by the Prophet Abraham and his decendents Ending with the Prophet Mohammed Peace be upon them all. The Word Islam means Unconditional faith or belief in God and the submission to God.

The main goal of Islam is to establish a set of Moral principles and Codes the guide the people throughout their life journey and prepare them for the afterlife. It build a relationship with God based on faith and conviction that God All Mighty exists and transcends this Unieverse.

Deep down, it gives our lives a meaning, morality and ethics, it drives us to excellence and study of God's creation, seek knowledge and enlightenment. See the Magnificence of creation and respect all living things as they are God's creation.

The Quran is the verbatim word of God and contains the basics of our faith. The Life and Teachings of the Prophet Mohammed Peace be upon him as derived from Religion and God are documented and known as Hadith (Sayings) and Sira (Living Method or Path or Stories) “Tried to translate the meanings as best as possible “.

Islam is very similar in essence to other Abrahamic religions but with its own identity. Islam is a Religious, Political, Social, Economic, Cultural system and more.

Its based on 5 Critical Pillars

1- Shahada: Unconditional belief in ONE God.

Islamic oath, one of the Five Pillars of Islam and part of the Adhan. It reads: "I bear witness that there is no deity but God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God."

2- Salat: Prayer is the act of praying to God establishing a direct relationship with God.

3- Zakat : Money paid to the poor and needy or as dictated by the rulers to help.

Zakat is an Islamic finance term referring to the obligation that an individual has to donate a certain proportion of wealth each year to charitable causes. Zakat is a mandatory process for Muslims and is regarded as a form of worship.

4- Swam (Fasting) fasting during the holy month of Ramadan.

5- Hajj, the pilgrimage to Makkah, its a religious journey to the landwhere it all started including Mecca and Medina.

Many sources exists on Islam.

Very Important:

There is a wide misrepresentation and misunderstanding of Islam both Deliberate and None Deliberate. Political agendas, economic and malicious organisations and individuals have always and will always try to tarnish the image of Islam by attacking Islam physically through endless wars or vile lies about its accuracy and even fabrication of stores and trying to pass them as facts. Unfortunately the current situation in the Islamic world does not convey a positive image of true Islam and should not be used as a reference, on the contrary it can be said that what is happening in many Islamic Countries is due to being far from the true path of religion. Islam is about peace through strength and justice for all humanity.
