His Highness Navi Sallallahu Alayhe Wa Sallam popularly known as prophet Muhammad was regarded as the last prophet of Islam.
Literally the word Islam connotes' submission to God' and who summit to God and follow the preaching of prophet Muhammad are called Muslims. Muhammad was also sent by the God as a messenger like Abraham,Moses. It is true that both the Christians and Muslim share Abraham as a common ancestor...............
It was the time of 7th century AD when Islam originated in the Arabian peninsula and gradually spread over the world along with time. In the initial period Muhammad faced many problems and had to leave his home in Mecca and migrate to Medina. Sometimes later again came back to Mecca and that route became a holy pilgrimage route called the Hajj.
All the teachings of prophet Muhammad were compiled by his disciples and is called the Hadith and the holy book of Qur'an also compiled twice by Muhammad before his death. This book and Sunnah forms the basis for Islamic laws ( Sharia).
In India there are four school of Islam viz.. Hanafi,Shafei,Maliki,Hambali. After the death of Muhammad , Islam mainly divided between two sects viz.. Shias and Sunnis .
The core teaching of Islam is mainly concentrated in only one God ( Allah). They practice monotheism and completely discard the idol worship. They believe in that worldly and also in the day of judgement where merits and bad deeds will be judged. They offer their prayer to God five times daily called Namaz. Do fasting in Ramzan and give a small portion of their earnings to the needy called Zakat ( charity).
