Islam

Islam is a religion of only one God, by the name of "Allah." It began in 622 CE in Middle East Arabia.

Muslim is the name of a follower of Islam. Muslims do not believe in a Savior (or Jesus), or the fact that God rested on the seventh day (no Sabbath).

They follow a book of rules called Qur'an, and the five pillars (Divine Predestination)

After life is looked at as Paradise or Hell. No reincarnation.

They worship in a building called a "Mosque" or a "Masja".

The leaders of this religion back then were called Clerisy. Nowadays they are viewed as government or "Mosque."
