God does not judge you according to your bodies and appearances, but He looks into your hearts and observes your deeds.
Prophet Muhammad

Islam is the second largest religion in the world. He is also the fastest growing religion. Islam is known for spreading through rather violent ways, unlike most other religions, Islam grew through conquest. Islam’s holy book, the Quran, is also to known to have contain violent punishments for those who break Islam’s laws. Islam is known to promote peace when he are outnumbered by opposition forces (such as pagans and Hindus), but wages war when he gets a powerful army or is no longer outnumbered.

Due to being a religion of “minorities” in the woke West (unlike Christianity), Islam has found himself become untouchable by satires or criticism by the Mainstream Media.

Islam was founded by Prophet Muhammad in the Middle East.

History

Founding

Islam was founded by the Prophet Muhammad in the early 7th century in Mecca, in present-day Saudi Arabia. Around 610 CE, Muhammad began receiving “revelations” from the angel Gabriel, which were later compiled into the Quran, the holy book of Islam. His teachings centered on monotheism, calling for the worship of one God, Allah, and emphasized social justice, charity, and moral conduct, though also sometimes with violence.

After facing persecution in Mecca, Muhammad and his followers migrated to Medina in 622 CE, an event known as the Hijra, which marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. In Medina, Muhammad established an Islamic Theocracy, uniting the tribes under Islam and leading a community governed by Sharia (Islamic law). Over the next decade, Muhammad successfully spread Islam across the Arabian Peninsula, culminating in the conquest of Mecca in 630 CE. Muhammad passed away in 632 CE, leaving behind a rapidly growing religious community.

Early Days

Some tribes decided that they were done with Islam and left, but Abu Bakr, the first caliph, set brutal campaigns against them and killed them for apostasy, a crime in Islam.

Modern Day

Today, Islam and Islamists are infiltrating many western Christian-dominated countries, such as United Kingdom and Germany. This is done so mainly by immigration, since lots of Muslim countries are at war.

Beliefs

Islamic belief revolves around the concept of monotheism, emphasizing the oneness of Allah as the creator, sustainer, and sole deity worthy of worship. Muslims believe in the teachings of the Quran, which is considered the final revelation to humanity, and the example set by the Prophet Muhammad as recorded in the Hadith. The Five Pillars of Islam form the framework of faith and practice, including the declaration of faith (Shahada), prayer (Salah), fasting (Sawm) during the month of Ramadan, charity (Zakat), and pilgrimage (Hajj) to Mecca 🕋 for those able. Central to Islamic belief is the concept of accountability and judgment in the afterlife, where individuals are rewarded or punished based on their deeds and adherence to Islamic principles.

More extreme variants of Islam includes terrorist ideologies like Jihadism.

The Quran

According to Muslims, the Quran was revealed to the prophet Muhammad by Allah. They believe that the Quran is eternal and never wrong, since it is directly dictated by Allah. As the final and unaltered word of God, it serves as a complete guide for life, covering all aspects of morality, law, and spirituality. Muslims view the Quran as the ultimate source of truth, superseding previous scriptures, and it is recited and memorized by believers around the world as an act of devotion.

Jannah (Heaven)

Muslims believe when a Muslim die, they go to Jannah, or Heaven. In Jannah, everyone will be the same height and will be able to meet all the Islamic prophets. This place is considered a paradise, and according to one count, the word appears 147 times in the Qur'an. Jannah is described with physical pleasures such as gardens, beautiful houris, wine that has no aftereffects, and "divine pleasure".

Practices

Prayers

Islamic prayers, known as Salah or Salat, are a fundamental act of worship performed five times a day by Muslims. Each prayer consists of specific movements and recitations, including verses from the Quran, performed at prescribed times, facing the Kaaba in Mecca, to establish a direct connection with Allah.

Rashidun Caliphate

After Muhammad's death, his close companions were chosen as caliphs (successors), marking the beginning of the Rashidun Caliphate. This period is considered the golden age of Islamic governance and saw the first four caliphs, known as the "Rightly Guided Caliphs," lead the Muslim community.

Caliphates

A caliphate or khilāfah (Arabic: خِلَافَةْ [xi'laːfah]) is an institution or public office under the leadership of an Islamic steward with the title of caliph, a person considered a political-religious successor to Muhammad and a leader of the entire Muslim world (ummah). The caliphate is meant to uphold and implement Islamic law (Sharia) and govern the affairs of the Muslim community. Historically, various caliphates have existed, such as the Rashidun, Umayyad, Abbasid, and Ottoman caliphates, each of which played a crucial role in the spread of Islam and the administration of vast territories.
