Beliefs
There is no official creed to which one must adhere to be considered a Muslim. All that is required is to believe and recite the Shahada. The single most important belief in Islam, and arguably the central theme of Islam, is that there is only one God.

Muhammad, the founder of Islam, is revered as "the Seal of the Prophets" - the last and greatest of the messengersof God.

The Quran is the book of sacred writings.

Like Christianity, Islam teaches the continued existence of the soul and a transformed physical existence after death.

For a Muslim, the object of life is to live in a way that pleases God so that you can win the Paradise.

Muslims consider their religion to the be the one true religion, and invite people of all races, nationalities and religions to be part of it.

Is Islam a terrorist religion? Islam doesn't teach terrorism under any circumstances. It forbids killing of innocent civilians. The holy Book of Islam, the Quran says: "If anyone murders an innocent person it will be as if he had murdered the whole of humanity." So, for those who commit's such heinous acts in the name of Islam? It is obvious from the above injunction of the Quran that they do not follow true Islam.

Islam, an Arabic word whose root is "silm," means peace and protection from danger. Islam is supposed to provide an environment of peace and tranquility for all, Muslims and nonMuslims. It is supposed to protect everyone from external or internal threats and dangers.
