Frequently Asked Questions

How Many and Where? Islam is a major world religion, with over 1 billion followers worldwide (1/5 of the world population). It is considered one of the Abrahamic, monotheistic faiths, along with Judaism and Christianity. Although usually associated with the Arabs of the Middle East, less than 20% of Muslims are in fact Arab. Muslims are found all over the world, of every nation, color and race.

Who is Allah? Allah is the proper and  formal name for Almighty G-d, and is often translated merely as "The G-d." Allah  has other names that are used to describe His characteristics: The Creator, The Sustainer, The Merciful Benefactor, The Merciful Redeemer, etc. Muslims believe that since Allah alone is the Creator, it is He alone that deserves our devout love and worship. Islam holds to a strict monotheism. Any worship and prayers directed at saints, prophets, other human beings or nature is considered idolatry.

Who is a Muslim? A person who believes in and consciously follows Islam is called a Muslim, also from the same root word. So, the religion is called "Islam," and a person who believes in and follows it is a "Muslim."
