What is Islam?

Islam is a monotheistic, Abrahamic religion originating with the teachings of the Islamicprophet Muhammmd, a 7th century Arab religious and political figuare. The word Islam means "submission", or the total surrender of oneself to God (Allah). An adherent of Islam is known as a Muslim, meaning "one who submits [to God]." There are between 1 billion and 1.8billion Muslims, makingIslam the second-largest religion in the world, after Christianity.
