ISLAM
Islam, the Muslim religion, is
another religion with roots in the
Middle East. Islam began in the
ancient city of Mecca, in the middle
of the great desert that today makes
up much of Saudi Arabia.
 Around 610 A.D., the prophet
Muhammad began to describe messages
he said the Angel Gabriel had given him
from God. In time, these beliefs were
written down in Islam’s holy book — the
Koran.
 The Koran teaches all Muslims how they
are to worship. And it sets down in detail
all other important rules for daily living.
According to Islam, God, or Allah,
demands strict obedience of all his
laws.
 FIVE PILARS OF ISLAM
They must profess their belief in
God and in Muhammad as God’s
prophet.
They must pray five times each day,
facing in the direction of Mecca.
Muslims must give alms to the poor.
They must fast during the special
month of Ramadan.
And if possible, at least once in their
lives, they must make a pilgrimage
to the Muslim holy city of Mecca.
 Muslims from all over the world
travel to Mecca.
the pilgrimage is one of life’s most
important events.
During their pilgrimage, they must
follow many special ceremonies
over the course of several days.
But before they enter the mosque
they must wash and change into
clean clothes.
 One of the most important
ceremonies involves walking or
running around a shrine, called the
Kaaba, seven times.
The Kaaba holds the sacred
Black Stone in its walls. Pilgrims
kiss or salute the stone as they circle
the Kaaba, saying “God is the
greatest.”
Like Christians, Muslims believe in
life after death.
Islam began with one group of
people in the Middle East — the
Arab people. Later, the religion
spread far beyond the Arab world —
into Europe, Africa, and Asia. Today
there are more non-Arab Muslims
than there are Arabs — about 800
million believers in all.
FOUNDER : PROPHET MUHAMMAD
 Muḥammad ibn ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAbdul-Muṭṭalib
ibn Hāshim (c. 570 CE – 8 June 632 CE),
commonly known as Muhammad, is the seal of
the Messengers and Prophets of God in all the
main branches of Islam. Muslims believe that the
Quran, the central religious text of Islam, was
revealed to Muhammad by God, and that
Muhammad was sent to restore Islam, which
they believe to be the unaltered original
monotheistic faith of Adam, Abraham, Moses,
Jesus, and other prophets.
Muslims often refer to Muhammad as
Prophet Muhammad, or just "The
Prophet" or "The Messenger", and
regard him as the greatest of all
Prophets.
SACRED TEXT : QUR'AN , HADITH
Hadith have been called "the backbone" of
Islamic civilization,[4] and within that
religion the authority of hadith as a source
for religious law and moral guidance ranks
second only to that of the Quran (which
Muslims hold to be the word of God revealed
to his messenger Muhammad). Scriptural
authority for hadith comes from the Quran
which enjoins Muslims to emulate
Muhammad and obey his judgments.
ḤADĪTH IS THE ARABIC WORD FOR THINGS LIKE
SPEECH, REPORT, ACCOUNT, NARRATIVE.
UNLIKE THE QURAN, NOT ALL MUSLIM
BELIEVE HADITH ACCOUNTS (OR AT LEAST NOT
ALL HADITH ACCOUNTS) ARE DIVINE
REVELATION. HADITH WERE NOT WRITTEN
DOWN BY MUHAMMAD'S FOLLOWERS
IMMEDIATELY AFTER HIS DEATH BUT MANY
GENERATIONS LATER WHEN THEY WERE
COLLECTED, COLLATED AND COMPILED INTO A
GREAT CORPUS OF ISLAMIC LITERATURE.
DIFFERENT COLLECTIONS OF HADĪTH WOULD
PRACTITIONERS : SUNNI ,SHI'ITE ,SUFI
 Sunni Islam is the largest denomination of
Islam, followed by 87–90% of the world's
Muslims.[1] Its name comes from the word
sunnah, referring to the behaviour of the
Islamic prophet Muhammad.
 According to Sunni traditions, Muhammad did
not clearly designate a successor and the
Muslim community acted according to his
sunnah in electing his father-in-law Abu Bakr
as the first caliph.
 Shia Islam , sometimes translated as Shiʽite in
English) is one of the two main branches of
Islam. It holds that the Islamic prophet
Muhammad designated Ali ibn Abi Talib as his
successor and the Imam (leader) after him,most
notably at the event of Ghadir Khumm, but was
prevented from the caliphate as a result of the
incident of Saqifah. This view primarily contrasts
with that of Sunni Islam, whose adherents
believe that Muhammad did not appoint a
successor and consider Abu Bakr, who was
appointed caliph by a small group of Muslims at
Saqifah, to be the first rightful caliph after the
Prophet.
 Practitioners of Sufism have been referred to as
"Sufis" (from ّ‫صوفِي‬
ُ ṣūfiyy / ṣūfī).
 Historically, Sufis have often belonged to
different ṭuruq or "orders" – congregations
formed around a grand master referred to as a
wali who traces a direct chain of successive
teachers back to the Islamic prophet,
Muhammad.
 All Sufi orders trace most of their original
precepts from Muhammad through his cousin
and son-in-law Ali, with the notable exception of
the Naqshbandi order, who trace their original
precepts to Muhammad through his companion
and father-in-law, Abu Bakr.
