Islam is the fastest growing religion on earth . 

The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word "Islam" itself means. The religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. Nor was it named after a tribe like Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus. Islam is the true religion of "Allah" and as such, its name represents the central principle of Allah's "God's" religion; the total submission to the will of Allah "God". The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's will to the only true god worthy of worship "Allah" and anyone who does so is termed a "Muslim",  . Hence, it was not a new religion brought by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in Arabia in the seventh century, but only the true religion of Allah re-expressed in its final form

Allah is the Creator of all that's is in the heavens and the earth. Allah is the True and only Creator, and only He deserves to be worshipped. nothing else is worthy of worship; not stones, statues, crosses, the sun , the moon, star, temples, animals, saints, priest, movie stars, football stars, or religious people. All of those are created beings and worshiping them is associate partners with Allah and this is the only sin which wont be forgiven on the day of judgment and will condemn a man or women to hell forever.

Allah is the Arabic word for God and its is the personal name which He gave Himself in the Quran

  Islam Belief  

The first point of entry into the study of the religion of Islam is to study its core belief of Islam rather than to learn the social aspects of Islam.

SO one should learn what is Islam, Who is Allah and what is Islamic Monotheism (tawheed) and to also learn what is the opposite of tawheed which is called shirk. Shirk can negate a persons Islam.

After this we should know who was the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and what is the Quran.  When we have understood this then we have understood the first pillar of Islam and we can progress to learning about the secound pillar of Islam which is the prayer and after this the rest of the 5 Pillars Of Islam and the social and political aspects of Islam.

Islam gives us direction in every day of our life and in every action we perform From the time we wake up from sleep to the time we retire in bed and fall asleep. There is no separation between Mosque and state in Islam.
