Islam
Islam is a monotheistic religion which originated in Arabia and is dominant in the Middle East, South Asia, and North Africa. Islam is an Abrahamic religion along with Judaism and Christianity centered on the Quran and the teachings of Muhammad. Adherents of Islam, called Muslims are the world's second-largest religious population after Christians. [citation needed] During the Crusades, they were also conventionally called Saracens by their Christian enemies.[1] To the Spaniards during the Reconquista, they were often referred to as Moors and conflated with Arabs and African peoples alike.[2]
Muslims believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that was revealed many times through earlier prophets, the most important being Adam (believed to be the first man), Noah (Nuh), Abraham (Ibrahim), Moses (Musa), and Jesus (Isa). Muslims consider the Quran to be the verbatim word of God and the unaltered, final revelation. Alongside the Quran, Muslims also believe in previous revelations, such as the Tawrat (the Torah), the Zabur (Psalms), and the Injeel (Gospel). These earlier revelations are also associated with Judaism and Christianity, which are regarded by Muslims as earlier versions of Islam. They also consider Muhammad as the main and final Islamic prophet, through whom the religion was completed.
Mosques, which are places of worship for this faith, are prominent features in cities which have historically boasted a prominent Islamic presence or which have been influenced by Islamic culture.[1][3]
