And remember, #Jesus (pbuh) the son of #Mary, said: “O Children of #Israel! I am the messenger of #Allah (sent) to you, confirming the #Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad
Tidings of a Messenger to come after me,
whose name shall be Ahmad.”

well according to my knowledge the word Muhammad has also come in bible and also the word Allah (God) has also come in bible as Eloh-Him. Eloh meaning God and Him meaning with respect. So it is like Elohim mentioned in bible as well.

And i am pretty sure many of Christians and Jews know about it.

Any way, since the topic here was 'Study of Islam'.

So i will also write what is islam.

Islam means submission to one true God meaning submission to Allah.

Islam has 5 fundamental principles.

1. To believe in Allah that He is our Lord and He gives us food and He sustain us and He makes the way out etc also that all of the worshiping belong to Him. Meaning whatever worship Muslims would do is only for Allah, from praying to giving alms to fasting to giving money to poor to going to pilgrimage to makkah once in a life time etc all is for Him. Also He has Lofty names and attributes which only belongs to Him and Muslims need to understand and learn about them the way they are told in qur'an and the way prophet Muhammad peace be upon him told us.

2. To pray to Him the way He has told Muslims in a certain way at certain time.

3. To fast one month in a year in the holy month of ramadaan, if one has reached to the level of puberty or adult. etc

4. To give alam to poor from your saved money with 2.5 percent of your saved income, if the income that you saved has reached to equal to the expense of 94/95 grams or so of Gold.

5. To go to pilgrimage to makkah at-least once in a life time if you have enough money, if you don't then you are not obliged to go to makkah.


so all these basic principles makes the islam
