Islam

Islam began in Arabia and was revealed to humanity by the Prophet Muhammad. Muslims believe that there is only one God: Allah. Islam is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion the word Islam means "submission", or the total surrender of oneself to God. Almost all Muslims belong to one of two major denominations, the Sunni and Shi'a. Shias adhere to the teachings of Islamic prophet Muhammad but differ from Sunni in following the religious guidance of his family or his descendants known as Shi'a Imams, whom they consider to be infallible. The Sunni dealt historically with the "book" as a guide for action, or example of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (they represent the branch of Islam that accepted the caliphate of Abu Bakr ).
God, in one place in the Qur'an commands Muhammad in the following manner: "Say [to people], 'If you love God, then follow me [the Prophet]; God will [then] love you [people] and forgive your sins' " (Qur'an, 3:31). Hence not only do pious Muslims follow the previously discussed "five pillars of Islam":
