With about 1.75 billion followers (24% of the world's population), Islam is the second-largest religion in the world. But there are many more groups like the Alevis in Turkey. The second is Shia Islam (10вЂ“20% of all Muslims are Shias вЂ“ also called Shiites). The most common is Sunni Islam (75вЂ“90% of all Muslims are Sunni Muslims). Most Muslims belong to one of two groups. Muslims believe that the content of the Quran (written in Arabic) is protected by Allah as mentioned in the Quran and is the final message of God for all of mankind until the day of judgment. They believe that all these prophets were given messages by God of the oneness of God to their communities at different times in history of mankind, but Satan (referred to as 'Shaytan' in Arabic) made the past communities deviate from the message of oneness and other social codes. Muslims believe that there were many other prophets before Muhammad п·є since dawn of humanity, beginning with the Prophet Adam and including the Prophet Noah (Nuh), the Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim), the Prophet Moses (Musa), and the Prophet Jesus (Isa). In a hadith on the authority of Abu Hurairah that the Prophet Muhammad п·є defined Islam: вЂњBy worshiping God and not associating anything with Him, performing the prayer, paying the obligatory zakat, fasting Ramadan and performing the pilgrimage to the house of God.вЂќ As for its idiomatic meaning, it is the religion that was brought by вЂњMuhammad п·є bin Abdullah,вЂќ sent by Almighty God, and which Muslims believe is the law with which God sealed the heavenly messages. Linguistically, Islam is defined as surrender to the command of God without objection, without submission, rebellion, and stubbornness. Other beliefs and rules about what Muslims should do come from reports of what Muhammad п·є taught (Hadith). The muslims view Muhammad п·є as a prophet and messenger of God. The Quran is regarded as the word of God (or Allah). They believe that the Quran was spoken to Muhammad п·є by the angel Gabriel. Islam means submission to the will of God. All of its teachings and beliefs are written out in the Quran (also spelled Qur'an or Koran), the holy scripture of Islam.
