text: what are some facts about muslim religion??   there are so many. this most important of which is the belief in one god, who has no partners,children, and parents.  the second is that muhammed (peace be upon him) is the last and final prophet of god. the quraan- our holy book- is the word of god, revealed to the prophet muhammed (pbuh). the quraan has been unchanged from the time of revelation and every day 10000s of muslims memorize it regardless of their age or level of faith. in islam we believe that jesus (peace be upon him), moses, jacob, aaron, john, and many other prophets that the christians and jews believe in were all prophets of god. the belief in the last day, heaven and hell, ressurection are all central to the islamic faith.  there are five pillars in islam: to believe that there is non worthy of worship but allah and that muhammed is the messenger of god. to pray five times a day. to give charity (2.4%  every year of ones wealth every year) to peform hajj- pilgrimage- once in a life time for those who can afford to.  well thats just some of it.  alcohol is forbidden in the islamic faith so is the eating of pork.  and being a women in islam is very liberating!!!!!! for 1 a man recieves a bit more inheritance than we do but the fact is with his money he has to oversee all the muslim women who have nothing, his responsibility is the old lady next door, and the bag lady on the street. a woman can use her money to buy jimmy choo boots no problem there. some of you are as good as racist and your ignorance pertaining to other faiths continue to amaze me.  islam does not teach us to kill as the media and some muslims have lead you to believe. infact it is tottally forbidden except for in the an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth case, and in war women,children, the old, the sick, those praying and the innocent cannot be harmed. suicide is forbidden. donot let the ignorant lead you to believe otherwise.
