I want to get a better understanding of Islam. What can you tell me?

To better understanding of Islam. You need to know how it began. Abraham had a son Isaac. God promised Abraham that through his off spring, all nations of the world will come to be blessed. ( At this point in history only two regions at this time. One was Bale and Jewish. ) For Muslims, he is a prophet of Islam and the ancestor of Muhammad through his other son Ishmael born to him by his second wife Hagar. Abraham had eight children. From Sarah came Isaac, from Hagar came Ishmael, and from Keturah came Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

During 580 A.D. Muhammad talked about Allah to his Followers in Mecca. Then in 622 A.D. Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Medina. Then in 640s A.D. in Syriac word for Muslim's are Mahgre or Mahograye. In 642 A.D. the Greek word for Muslim are Magaritai. Islam was not around until 580 A.D. by Muhammad himself and his God Allah. After Muhammad died during 700s A.D. One of his followers wrote about Muhammad's God Allah.

The story was made into a book called Quran also known as Koran. To put right out there The Five Pillars are; Shahadah- Profession of Faith, Salat - Prayers, Zakah - Paying of alms, Sawn - Fasting during Ramada, and Hajj - Pilgrimage to Mecca. That is not all that is in the Quran. To explain: Shahadah - Profession of faith. You need to believe in Allah that was sent Muhammad to Earth as a prophet. If you don't in the Practices of the Religion ( Twelver ) Tabarra- Disassociating Ahl al Bayt's enemies. That means that who ever don't believe in Allah. They have the right to comment Adalah - Justice. Then Qiyamah - Day of Judgement. This is the time that the high Muslim will behead that person in the name of Allah and Adalah found in the Principles of the Religion. Then you also have the six articles of belief that are: Tawhid - Oneness, Prophets and Messengers in Islam, Islamic Holy Books, Angels, The Last Judgement, and Predestination. After that you have the Seven Pillars and Kharijite Sixth Pillar of Islam.

You will get a better understanding when the Koran is in English. You will find out that no Rules or Ten Comments are talked about. Also there are over 620 Comments that are stated and explained in the Jewish and Christian texts. The Jewish Texts have been around for almost 7,000 years that makes it the oldest Holy Text ever found. The Toran talks about the comments and so does the Holy Bible that has been around for over 4,009 years. One comment is " Don't put any other God before me, don't worship false Gods. The Muslim's worship Pilgrimage to Mecca. Plus the Pillars. Why not to Allah? They state Allah is their God not Mecca.

To get more understanding you can also go to the Truth on the computer. Also, the Muslim's Celebrated on April 10th or 11th, 2009. On beheading done by a 12- year old child. This 12 - year old boy beheaded a person that didn't believe in Allah and stated as he was beheading this person. " I do this for Allah. " This took place in the Middle East. The Quran is only one of the news texts. Abraham did not worship a God named Allah. He prayed to only one God that is named the Lord Jesus Christ. Ishmael had a son named Muhammad. This is where Islam began. Muhammad started his own religion that went against Ishmael and Abraham religion that was around way before Abraham was born. Everything stated here can be found in the history of the world and on several web sites on the computer. On how many religions that I learn about and study. When it is my turn to die. There will only be one God and one Heaven. When it comes to the end of times. That is when you will find out the True God. So far the oldest Holy Text talks about the Lord Jesus Christ.
