From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A Muslim (Arabic: مسلم), pronounced /ˈmʊslɪm/, is an adherent of the religion of Islam. Literally, the word means "one who submits (to God)". Muslim is the participle of the same verb of which Islam is the infinitive. The feminine form is sometimes used as Muslimah (Arabic: مسلمة), especially in recent years. All Muslims observe Sunnah, but differences in the definition of what is and what is not Sunnah has led to the emergence of sectarian movements. The well-organised and cohesive community of Muslims who accept the Sunnah as defined within one of the traditional Maliki, Hanafi, Shafi or Hanbali madhabs are the classical Sunni Muslims. Those who fall outside of this fold are the Shia Muslims, though often thinking themselves to be Sunni Muslims. Muslims believe that there is only one God, translated in Arabic as Allah. Muslims also believe that Islam existed long before Muhammad though it was not called Islam until the revelation of Surah al-Maeda. Muslims believe that this religion had evolved with time from the time of Adam until the time of Muhammad and was completed with the revelation of verse 3 of Surah al-Maeda:
The Qur'an describes many Biblical prophets and messengers as Muslim: Adam, Noah (Arabic: Nuh), Moses and Jesus and his apostles. The Qur'an states that these men were Muslims because they submitted to God, preached his message and upheld his values. Thus, in Surah 3:52 of the Qur'an, Jesus’ disciples tell Jesus, "We believe in God; and you be our witness that we submit and obey (wa ashahadu bil-muslimūna)." Muslims consider making ritual prayer five times a day a religious duty (fard) (see the section on Ismāˤīlīs below for exceptions); these five prayers are known as fajr, dhuhr, ˤasr, maghrib and ˤishā'. There is also a special Friday prayer called jumuˤah. Currently, the most up to date reports from an American think-tank and PBS have estimated 1.2 to 1.57 billion Muslims populate the world, or about 25% (quarter) of an estimated 2009 world population of 6.8 billion. With 60% in Asia and 20% of Muslims living in the Middle East and North Africa.

GNU Free Documentation License How come the Jews and Muslims are able to worship God directly without going through Jesus? Q. The Jews rejected Jesus outright, the Muslims regarded Jesus as a mere human prophet. If what Jesus said in the New Testament is true, the Jews and the Muslims would never be able to connect with God on a spiritual level through prayers and worship because Jesus Christ is left out of the picture. But it seem that the Jews and the Muslims are doing fine on that aspect. The more I think about it, the more confused I get. Asked by Kira - Sat Apr 4 12:47:23 2009 - - 22 Answers - 7 Comments A. Jesus did say, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). If Jesus was deluded, then Christianity loses its basis. If Jesus was correct (as I do believe), then Islam and Judaism are in fact not following the only pathway to God the Father. Answered by JamesH - Sat Apr 4 12:53:04 2009 What is the deal between liberals and muslims? Q. Liberals always up in arms when Christianity is involved but the same liberals don't mind using government money to accommodate Islam. Liberals criticize christians all day but when you criticize muslims, they call you a [racist/bigot/xenophobe] Liberals want to classify muslims as a race and give them special protection. These atheists do all they can do to stamp out Christianity but they embrace Islam which is more restrictive, more violent and more totalitarian. Hmm, it seems a lot like their appeal to socialism.
