For the learner:
Islam is the religion founded by the Muslim Prophet Muhammad in the 7th
century CE. Abraham's illegitimate son Ishmael is believed to be the prophet of Islam
and the ancestor of Muhammad. Islam is dominant in North Africa, South Asia and

Lesson
1 Islam
Islam is the youngest among the world’s major religions but has become the
second largest group with more than 1.5 billion adherents. The Arabic term Islam
means “surrender”, particularly putting oneself totally to the will of the one God
(Manaloto and Rapadas 2016). Muslims share the same belief with Jews and
Christians that God’s covenant with Abraham is the foundation of their faith. The
people of Israel came forth from Isaac, the son of Abraham and Sarah, while Muslims
claim that Abraham became the patriarch of the Arabs through Ishmael, his son by
the Egyptian servant Haggar. Hence, this becomes the start of the widespread faith
of the Muslims that is considered one of the fastest growing religions in the world.
(Ong and Jose 2016)

Notes to the Teacher

examine the brief history, core teachings, fundamentals belief,
practices, and doctrines of Islam.
What’s New
هللا
ال هللا محمد رسو ال ا
ال إله إ ا
These words resound the very heart of the Islamic faith. Muslims repeatedly
pronounce these words to profess their faith in Allah, and to Muhammad as Allah’s
messenger.

What is It
God Allah
Founder Muhammad

Muslims also believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of a
primordial faith that was revealed through the prophets including Adam, Abraham,
Moses and Jesus, and the Quran in its Arabic to be the unaltered and final revelation
of God. The prophet Muhammad alone has revealed the undiluted truths from Allah,
which is expressed in Quran (Manaloto and Rapadas 2016).
Muslims call God Allah which is a compound name al (the definite article,
the) and ilah (god or deity) or “the one who is God.” Muhammad preaches that there
can only be one God (Ong and Jose 2016). This makes the Islam faith a monotheistic
religion in line with Judaism and Christianity.
In 632 C.E., Muhammad died at the age of 62 after battling against the pagan
believers around him about the religion he is about to establish. His successful
preaching of Allah spread across the entire Arabian Peninsula and to the whole
world. (Ong and Jose 2016)
The chapters of the Qur’an are called surahs while the verses are ayahs. The
Fatihah (The Opening) below is the Qur’an’s most frequently recited segment:
9
Citing from Ong and Jose (2016), the HADITH, is the collection of the deeds
and sayings of Muhammad and his followers (traditional reports or saying) and the
second source of shari’a law. The hadiths were collected generations after the death
of Muhammad. The hadiths are recognized as second authority after the Quran.
Beliefs/ Doctrines
The first pillar of Islam is the Shahada, the assertion of faith. There is no God,
but Allah and Muhammad are his messenger”. It is essential to utter it to become a
Muslim and to convert to Islam. The creed asserts the divinity of Allah and that he
revealed his message to Muhammad. Denying the shahada is tantamount to a
serious crime punishable by the Islamic law. (Ong and Jose 2016)
Zakat means purification which indicates that a payment makes the rest of
ones’ wealth legally or religiously pure. By following this pillar, Muslims have to
deduct certain amount of their income to support the Islamic community and it is
usually about 2.5% of an individual’s income. This is not merely charity but an
annual wealth tax to help the poor and the affluent. (Ong and Jose 2016)
Fasting takes place during the month of Ramadan, which is the holy month
in the Islamic Calendar (lunar calendar). The fasting occurs from dawn to sunset
each day during which time believes are expected to prohibit themselves from any
food, drink, sexual intercourse or smoking. However, after sunset or before dawn,
individuals can participate in any of the actions previously stated as desire. Ramadan
is a period of reflection when Muslims are called upon to recharge their faith,
10
increment their charity and make apology to Allah. Any Muslim who has reached the
age of puberty must undertake sawm. (Ong and Jose 2016)

Sufis are Muslims who are more concerned to
dwell in mystical union with God. The word originally
came from suf which means “woolen” or the garment
they are wearing that symbolizes poverty and
denunciation of earthly pleasures. It began very early
in Islamic history that represents the manifestation
and also the most important and the central
crystallization of mystical practices of Muslims. (Ong
and Jose 2016)
