THE MAIN IDEAS FOR THE ISLAM

Islam is a religion and people who follow Islam are called Muslims (Moslems).
The book of Islam is called The Holy Quran (Koran). This book is like a rule-book of Islam. It is used as a reference. Everything about Islam is mentioned in this book.

The most basic concept of Islam is that there is only one God (also known as Allah in Arabic). The other concepts arise from this basic concept. Since there is only one God, only this God has the right to be worshipped. None other can be worshipped. No idols or deities. No statues.
Islam teaches you that since we owe our existence to God, we must show appreciation by worshipping Him. We must lead a life of simplicity and goodness. In return, we are promised a place in Heaven. Otherwise we shall punished by a place in Hell.

Another basic concept in Islam is Judgement Day. On this day, all life on Earth will be destroyed. All the dead will be brought back to life. Every person who has lived on Earth will be present at this time. Every person will be judged not by his race or social status.

To be a true Muslim, you must believe in the following:
- There is only one God
- None can be worshipped except God
- Prophet Mohammed (Muhammad) is the messenger of God
- Your deeds will be accounted for on the Day of 

MUHAMMAD

Muḥammad was a man from Mecca who unified Arabia into a single religiouspolity under Islam. Believed by Muslims and Bahá'ís to be a messenger and prophet of God, Muhammad is almost universallyconsidered by Muslims as the last prophet sent by God to mankind. While non-Muslims regard Muhammad as the founder of Islam,^[3] Muslims consider him to have restored the unaltered original monotheistic faith of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses,Jesus, and other prophets. Muslims discuss Muhammad and other prophets of Islam with reverence, adding the phrasepeace be upon him whenever their names are mentioned.

Born in about 570 CE in the Arabian city of Mecca, Muhammad was orphaned at an early age; he was raised under the care of his paternal uncle Abu Talib. After his childhood Muhammad primarily worked as a merchant.

The revelations (each known as Ayah, lit. "Sign [of God]") which Muhammad reported receiving until his death form the verses of the Quran, regarded by Muslims as the "Word of God" and around which the religion is based.
