Islam is one of the most influential religions of the world. Islam is the religion articulated by the Quran, a religious book considered as a final word of the single incomparable God (Allah) to mankind, and revealed by the Prophet of Islam Muhammad's demonstrations and real-life examples. One of the meanings of the word Islam itself is surrender. Surrender in Islam means surrendering or submitting your will to God. This way of life is believed to crush the ego and self-importance within an individual.
An adherent of Islam is a Muslim. Religious practices include the Five Pillars of Islam, Which are five duties that unite Muslims into a community. The 5 pillars of Islam says: Muslims should believe in only one deity God (Allah) and Muhammad is the Messenger of God, They should establish the obligatory prayers, pay charity as a right of the poor, fast especially the month of Ramadan, and to make the pilgrimage to the sacred House in Mecca if you have the means to do so. It is these pillars of Islam that gives the Muslim and his society its structure to operate.
Quran is written by the creator of this world and it can be proved. Out of this 6000 verses of Quran about 1000 talks about science. Quran which have been revealed 1400 years ago says about the Geo spherical shape of the Earth. (In those days people used to think Earth was flat). We have learn that the Sun was stationary while all the planets went round it. But recently it has been found out that Sun also rotates on its own axis. Quran mentions that rotation of the Sun. Nobody at the time of Quran revelation knew about it. Exact sequence of embryo's development, things about pain receptors in the skin etc are mentioned about which people of that time had no idea.
Islam has now become a second largest religion of the world with its followers scattered all over the world. A recent report has suggested that one quarter of the world's population is Muslim. This is certainly surprising living in a western country. Furthermore, the study suggests that Islam is perhaps one of the fastest growing religions in the world.
