HISTORY
Islam is the monotheistic religion articulated by the Qur’an, a text considered by its
adherents to be the verbatim word of God, and by the teachings and normative example
(called the Sunnah and composed of Hadith) of Muhammad, considered by them to be the
last prophet of God. An adherent of Islam is called a Muslim.
Muslims believe that God is one and incomparable and the purpose of existence is
to worship God. Muslims also believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of
a primordial faith that was revealed at many times and places before, including
through Abraham, Moses and Jesus, whom they consider prophets . Muslims maintain
that previous messages and revelations have been partially changed or corrupted over
time, but consider the Qur'an to be both the unaltered and the final revelation of God.
Religious concepts and practices include the five pillars of Islam, which are basic
concepts and obligatory.

THE PERSON WHO FOUND ISLAMIC
Mohammad was the founder of the religion of Islam, and is considered by Muslims
to be a messenger and prophet of God, the last law-bearer in a series of Islamic
prophets, and, by most Muslims, the last prophet of God as taught by
the Quran. Muslims thus consider him the restorer of an uncorrupted
original monotheistic faith (Islam) of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and other
prophets. He was also active as a social
reformer, diplomat, merchant, philosopher, orator, legislator, military leader,
humanitarian, philanthropist, and, according to Muslim belief, an agent of divine
action.
Born in 570 in the Arabian city of Mecca, he was orphaned at an early age and
brought up under the care of his uncle Abu Talib. He later worked mostly as a
merchant, as well as a shepherd, and was first married by age 25. Discontented with
life in Mecca, he retreated to a cave in the surrounding mountains for meditation and
reflection. According to Islamic beliefs it was here, at age 40, in the month
of Ramadan, where he received his first revelation from God. Three years after this
event Muhammad started preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming that "God
is One", that complete "surrender" to Him (lit. Islam) is the only way (din) acceptable
to God, and that he himself was a prophet and messenger of God, in the same vein
as other Islamic prophets.
THE CEREMONIES IN ISLAMIC
Akikah. An informal birth ceremony. This ceremony is not practiced widely.
Shadada. The marking of a young Muslim’s formal entry into Islam. There is
no set age for this rite, though it is most commonly celebrated during the
teenage years.
Marriage Ritual. Witnesses observe the groom’s formal offer of marriage and
the brides acceptance of it. There is no elaborate ceremony. The waleemah is
the reception which includes music and dancing.
Funerals and Mourning. This includes the recitation of the janazah (prayers
for the dead) at the gravesite and may include a service at the funeral home.
Muslims do not condone cremation and burial of the dead takes place within 24
hours of death. The official mourning period for a family member is 40 days.

THE PERCENTAGE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THIS RELIGION ALL
AROUND THE WORLD
Most Muslims belong to one of two denominations; with 80-90%
being Sunni and 10-20% being Shia. About 13% of Muslims live
in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country, 25% in South Asia, 20% in
the Middle East, 2% in Central Asia, 4% in the remaining South
East Asian countries, and 15% in Sub-Saharan Africa. Sizable
communities are also found in China and Russia, and parts of Europe.
Converts and immigrant communities are found in almost every part of
the world (see Islam by country). With about 1.41-1.57 billion Muslims,
comprising about 21-23% of the world's population, Islam is the second-
largest religion and one of the fastest-growing religions in the world.
