A religion you need to find good sources to know about. Negative images spreading through social media tells nothing about what Islam accurately is.

Islam is a religion. The followers of Islam (mostly called Muslims) believe in Allah which is Arabic for God. The name, "Allah", is used in some phrases people think are racist such as, "Allahu akbar" which is supposed to mean, "God is great.". However because of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the sentence is usually frowned upon. Some people think the Muslims support explosions and war, but that is not true. Because of ISIS, some people think Islam is a religion of hate which is not true. In fact, Islam is supposed to be an extremely peaceful religion. Furthermore, Islam strictly forbids the consumption of anything made out of pigs because of the unhealthy traits of pigs and their meat. Also, the Muslims forbid the consumption of alcohol because they thought it was one of the works of Satan himself. However, the Muslims allow the smoking of Hookah because it is neutral, but most Muslims say that those who refrain from doing Hookah will most likely be rewarded. In conclusion, this is Islam.

A religion that focuses on peace and Allah. Allah means god, as people may think because of 9/11 and terrorist attacks, that all people of Islam or Muslims are terrible people . They are encouraged by people sending more hate. They pray and obey one god , Allah ,on hopes of going the Jannah , heaven instead of hellfire. They go to mosques were they pray and have lessons and celebrations. They have a time period were they fasting, they wake up before sunrise eat and drink then no more food until after sun set . It teaches you to be mindful and caring for 30 days . After Its a holiday , the fasting is called Ramadan and the holiday is called Eid . They pray 5 times a day. They use the Quran as a guidance . Muslim in not pronounced mozlam it is pronounced how it is spelled.

Differently than what most people believe, islam is pretty much like any other religion if you look at it's contents. The problem is with it's ignorant followers. Many muslims do not even bother to read their holy book and believe themselves to know everything they are supposed to. Meanwhile they are being manipulated by people who can actually use their brains. They do not question anything related to their beliefs, thus taking everything that is told them to be accurate.

the religion of the Muslims, a monotheistic faith regarded as revealed through Muhammad as the Prophet of Allah.
The word Islam means voluntary “Submission” or “Surrender” to the Will of God. It derives from the root word “salam,” meaning peace.
In the Quran, God defines that the only purpose for which He created mankind is to Worship Him. Islam recognizes that humankind has free choice in whether to obey or disobey God, but ultimately we will be held accountable to God in the next life for the choices that we make in this life.
Islam is a natural way of life that encourages one to give due attention to their relationship with God and His creation. Islam teaches that it is through the doing of good deeds and seeking the pleasure of God that souls find true happiness and peace. It is in this context that the word Islam derives from the root word “salam,” or peace
God sent Prophets to teach mankind how to worship Him; starting with Adam, including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and the last of the messengers, Muhammad (peace be upon them all). The Islamic position is that all of these prophets came with the same message, that there is no deity worthy of worship except the One True God, known in Arabic as Allah.

A : Hey did you hear that Islam is the world's second-largest religion and world's fastest growing religion.
B: Indeed. There is no god but Allah and Muhammad was his messenger.
A: I don't understand why people say we fuck goats even when our Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) prohibited sex with animals in many narrations:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Cursed is he who goes in unto (has sex with in other words in Arabic) an animal. 1
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah cursed who goes unto (has sex) with an animal. 2
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: If anyone has sexual intercourse with an animal, kill him and kill it along with him.3
After reading these it becomes clear that having sex with animals is indeed prohibited within Islam. The same viewpoint is also held in the Bible:
If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he is to be put to death, and you must kill the animal. 12
If a woman approaches an animal to have sexual relations with it, kill both the woman and the animal. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. 13

A religion based on manners and one that is often connected with terrorism. However, Islam is a religion, and terrorists are extremists in the religion and believe Islam is something it is not. Islam is not a religion of violence, which people often mistake it for. Muslims believe there is one and only 1 God, and Mohammad Peace Be Upon Him is his Messenger.
