A Muslim is an adherent of Islam, a monotheistic, Abrahamic religion based on the Quran, which Muslims consider the verbatim word of God as revealed to prophet Muhammad. "Muslim" is the Arabic term for "one who submits to God".
Muslims believe that God is one and incomparable. Muslims also believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that was revealed at many times and places before, including through the prophets Abraham, Moses and Jesus.

Widely and commonly misunderstood, Muslims have been dealing with bigoted and ignorant people long before modern events. For the people who gave you Coffee, Hummus, Clocks, Cleanliness, and surgical procedures, they surely are mistaken simply for a culture rather than a religion-when in fact Muslims thrive all around the globe.

A person following the religion of Islam, which is the belief in one God (Allah). Muslims have one prophet (Muhammad) of whom the religions book (the Qur'an) was sent down to. Although Muslims follow one prophet's message, they also believe in numerous other prophets including Jesus.
While most people think that Islam is a radical religion, it is not. For starters, the word itself means "peace" in Arabic. Muslims believe that life should be led peacefully and that the way peace is reached in ones life is by worshiping God in their everyday lives.
