Islam is one of the major world religions, founded in the 7th century CE in the Arabian Peninsula by the Prophet Muhammad. It is a monotheistic faith, meaning it holds the belief in one God, referred to as Allah in Arabic. The religion emphasizes submission to the will of Allah and living according to the guidance found in its holy book, the Qur'an. The Qur'an is considered the literal word of God, as revealed to Muhammad over 23 years. The practices, teachings, and traditions of Islam are based on this revelation, as well as the Hadith, which are sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad.
