Along with many other enormous religions Islam if a very fascinating religion. First of all Islam is the second largest religion there is. With Christianity coming in first Islam has more than 1 billion followers. Secondly the religion is very old. Islam has been traced back to be 1400 years old. Lastly the religions belief in Jesus. The religion sees Jesus, Moses and Abraham as respected prophets of God. So the religion has very specific things it's believers follow. The Islam religion is has a very solid history. First, Abraham is called Ibrahim by Muslims. They see him as the father of the Arab people. He is believed in Islam to be the creator of the Islamic belief system. Secondly the Islams believe, God sent a number of prophets to mankind to teach them according to His law. These men were known as Jesus, Moses, and Abraham. Lastly the Islamic God Allah. Allah in Islam is the only God and all other God's are myths. So the History of Islam is a very simple one but isn't necessarily well proven. The geography of Saudi Arabia helped make Islam. Initially the city of Mecca is where the religion of Islam was and born. This can be proved because many statements about Muhammad created Islam and other facts lead to the evidence that it was in Mecca. Furthermore the believers of Islam tend to stay within the heard of their religion which is mecca. The Islamic followers try to stay within Mecca because of the great religious attractions. In addition to those the current war in Iraq was because of things the united states wanted. Some of Iraq's soldiers will fight in the war just to fight for Allah. Finally Saudi Arabia's geography most likely helped make Islam because of the these three reasons.

The practices of Islam really play a big part on the Islamic religion. First of all the five pillars of Islamic law are the five things that help create the Islamic practices. There are five obligations that every Muslim must satisfy in order to live a good and responsive life. Secondly carrying out these obligations provides the frame work of a Muslims life. Lastly, These laws make the everyday activities of the Islamic beliefs and practices. The Five Pillars are what separate an ordinary person from the Islamic God Allah. So as you can see the Islamic people really don't have any practices except for to follow the five pillars of Islamic law. The beliefs and customs of the religion of Islam really outs things into perspective for the religion. First of all Islamic people believe in only one god. The only god to Islamic people is Allah. Secondly the religions belief in Heaven or Hell and angels and demons. Islamic people believe that there will be a day of judgment. They believe every human being will be judged on his or her life whether they go to heaven or hell. The heart of faith for all Muslims is their obedience to Allah's will. Any other god in the world is a myth and is not real to Islamic believers. So as you can see the beliefs and standards for the Islamic believers are very high. To summarize this article. First are the five pillars of Islamic law. The five pillars of Islamic law show the five duties that unite the Muslims into their community. In addition to those five pillars of law is the Islamic law. That develops the tradition of rulings that touch every aspect of the Islamic life and society. So as you can see Islam can sometimes be confusing but it takes articles like these to put it in simpler terms.
