Islam

Islam (/ˈɪslɑːm/;Arabic: الإسلام‎‎, al-ʾIslām IPA: [alʔisˈlaːm];) is a religion articulated by the Quran, a text considered by its adherents to be the word of God (Allāh), and, for the vast majority of adherents, the teachings and normative example (called the sunnah, composed of accounts called hadith) of Muhammad (c. 570–8 June 632 CE). It is the world's second-largest religion and the fastest-growing major religion in the world, with over 1.7 billion followers or 23% of the global population, known as Muslims. Islam is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion that upholds that God is one and incomparable and that the purpose of existence is to worship God. Muslims consider Muhammad to be the last prophet of God.
