The word “Islam” means “submission to the will of God.” Followers of Islam are called Muslims. Muslims are monotheistic and worship one, all-knowing God, who in Arabic is known as Allah. Followers of Islam aim to live a life of complete submission to Allah.
Earlier generations of European scholars believed that conversions to Islam were made at the point of the sword, and that conquered peoples were given the choice of conversion or death. It is now apparent that conversion by force, while not unknown in Muslim countries, was, in fact, rare.
Shia and Sunni Islam are the two major denominations of Islam.
Monotheism (Tawhid ): The main message of Islam is monotheism. Belief in monotheism is the cornerstone of the Islamic faith. Muslims believe that all the Prophets sent by God to humanity shared the same central message, and that was the message of monotheism.
Afreen is a name commonly used in Egyptian and Moroccan cultures. It is used when admiring or showing amazement at something very beautiful or wonderful.
The named archangels in Islam are Jibrael, Mikael, Israfil, and Azrael. Jewish literature, such as the Book of Enoch, also mentions Metatron as an archangel, called the "highest of the angels", though the acceptance of this angel is not canonical in all branches of the faith.
2) Allah chose many people as prophets. 25 prophets are mentioned in the Qur'an, although some believe there have been 124 000. Some prophets were given holy books to pass on to humankind. 3) Muslims believe the prophets taught the same basic ideas, most importantly belief in one god.
Belief in the Angels of God: Muslims believe in angels, unseen beings who worship God and carry out God's orders throughout the universe. The angel Gabriel brought the divine revelation to the prophets.
Israel is home to 1,454,000 Muslim citizens who enjoy full civil liberty and political freedom. Hebrew and Arabic are the official languages of the State of Israel. Most Arab citizens of Israel are Muslims, mainly Sunnis. Other branches of Islam in Israel include: Shia, Alawite, Ahmadiyeh, Sufi and Shazaliyeh.
In Islamic belief, Maalik (Arabic: ???? / mālik) denotes an angel in Hell/Purgatory (Arabic: ???? / jahannam) who administrates the Hellfire, assisted by 19 mysterious guards (Sura 74:30) known as Zabaniyya (az-zabānīya; Arabic: ????????).
Michael (Arabic: ??????? Mīkhā'īl, ??????? Mīkā'īl ), is one of the two archangels mentioned in the Quran, alongside Jibrail (Gabriel). In non-Quranic sources, such as Sahih Muslim, "Israfil" (sometimes spelled, "Israfel") is yet another Islamic 'archangel'.
Allah is usually thought to mean “the god” (al-ilah) in Arabic and is probably cognate with rather than derived from the Aramaic Alaha. Arabic-speaking Christians call God Allah, and Gideon bibles, quoting John 3:16 in different languages, assert that Allah sent his son into the world.
