Islam

             Islam, which in Arabic means submission to God or Allah is the youngest
             religion of the world. It is a monotheistic religion and one of the Abrahamic
             religions. Islam arose from the teachings of the prophet Muhammad, who
             received the Holy Scriptures of Islam, the Quran, from Allah by the angel
             Gabriel between 610 and 632 BCE. Islam claims that Muhammad is the last holy
             prophet, preceded by Adam, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus.
             Muslims (those that believe in the Islamic religion) believe in the five
             pillars of Islam. First is the statement " There is no God but Allah, and
             Muhammad is his messenger". Second is, a person must pray five times a day
             while facing Mecca. Third is the giving of alms. Fourth is fasting during the
             Holy Month of Ramadan, which is the ninth month of the Muslim year and fifth
             is the making of the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a person's
             Islam respects women very highly. According to the Quran, men and women are
             equal before God. Islam sees a woman, whether single or married, as an
             individual in her own right. The roles of men and women are complementary and
             collaborative. Rights and responsibilities of both sexes are equitable and
             Although Islam allows a man to marry up to four wives, there are restrictions
             to that. Some examples are that, he must treat all of them equally with love,
             fairness, and respect etc. If he can't comply with any of these, then he
             should only marry one. One reason why Islam allows marriage up to four wives
             is because it does not favor divorce.
