The word Islam comes from the Arabic word that means “surrender.” Therefore the religion Islam means “submission to Allah”. The way to submit to Allah is through worshipping Him, obeying Him, following the rules in the Qur’an, and trying to follow the life of the prophet Muhammad.
People who follow this religion are called Muslims. They believe in only one God, That God is called Allah, which is the Arabic phrase for “the (only) God”. Muslims read a holy book called the Qur’an. Muslims also look at the Sunnah and Hadith as important guides to understand. Muhammad was the last messenger of God who spread Islam in ancient Arabia in the 7th century.
