Islam
The religion which focuses on the human submission to Allah . The term "Islam" itself derives from two different roots, one which means "submission" and the other which means "peace."

According to Islam, Allah is the god of the Jews and the Christians--indeed, many Jewish and Christian figures are considered Islamic prophets , such as Abraham , David , and Jesus --but Mohammed is the final prophet, who managed to bring to humanity the complete and true understanding of Allah.

Islam
Islam (Arabic: ) is a monotheistic religion originating with the teachings of Muhammad, a 7th-century Arab religious and political figure. The word Islam means "submission", or the total surrender of oneself to God (Arabic: ). An adherent of Islam is known as a Muslim, meaning "one who submits (to God)". There are between 900 million to 1.5 billion Muslims on the basis of self-identification, making Islam the second-largest religion in the world, after Christianity.
