Muslims believe the prophets of God are His messengers to human kind, they include; Adam, Noah,

Moses: Unlike other monotheistic faiths, Judaism has a food taboo, where it is against our religion to eat any form of pork. I also believe that Jesus and Muhammad were false prophets.

A Muslim could be anybody who believes in Allah and the Prophet Mohammed as his messenger. Men and women do not pray together, men gather in one place, usually at the front of the praying site and women pray at a different place behind them. They do it this way out of respect for women as Muslims believe women could be a distraction since men and women kneel several times during prayer. It is a custom for Muslims to pray five times throughout the day, they believe this will help them stay away from doing unholy acts as they have to pray at a certain time regardless of where they are. If prayer is done five times during the day they will have thoughts of Allah which will help them stay away from committing sins.

In The Koran, Noah is the first of many important prophets. The Koran gave emphasis to the prophetic aspect of Noah's tasks given to him by God. In short, Noah's mission as a prophet was to inform the wrongdoers, and to convince them to submit to God. If they refused to do so, Noah threatened them with anguish and suffering. Regardless, the wrongdoers rejected his warning and shrugged off his threats. Consequently, it became evident to Noah that his people would never take note of his word of warning. It was then that Noah ordered down God's destruction of all who did not take heed to his forewarning.

Islam is the majority religion in Iran, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Turkey. The beliefs of the muslims vary by the two branches of Islam, Sunni, and Shia however there are several beliefs and practices that both branches follow. Muslims origin is from the prophet Muhammad. They believe he was the last prophet of Allah, their god. They believe he was the last person God spoke too, hence fulfilling the prophecy. Just like Christianity, Muslims also believe Moses and Abraham were prophets of God. In the islam religion, There are five pillars of faith. One, Allah is the only true God, all other gods are false. This beliefs comes from Surah 23, aaya 91, which states, “Never has God begotten a son, nor is there any other god besides Him. Were this otherwise, each god would govern his own creation, each holding himself above the other. Exalted be God above their falsehoods!” Two, you must pray to the holiest city, Mecca, five times a day. Muslims do this by physically phasing to the Ka’aba, the sacred mosque in Mecca. This comes from the Quran, Surah 2, aaya 144, which states “We hear our Lord and we obey “...So

Contrary to The Koran, although he was a man who walked with God, Noah was not a prophet. In The Koran, Noah's sons were unbelievers, but The Bible portrayed them differently. In fact, all three of Noah's sons entered the ark along with their wives. It was they, along with Noah and his wife, who Christians claim replenished the earth after the flood. It is hard to believe that only eight people could replenish the entire earth.

Muhammad: The Holy Land contains the Kaaba, the holiest site in Islam, making it very

Christianity and Islam both grew from the teachings of Judaism, Christianity, most of all, was born from within the Jewish tradition and community, while Judaism came from the same region, taking teachings from both Christianity and Judaism. “Christianity was born from within the Jewish community and tradition. Hundreds of years later, Islam developed in the same region, drawing from both Christianity and Judaism” (The Holy Land: Birthplace of Three Religious Traditions).The patriarch Abraham gives a certain importance to all three of the religions, each religion sees Abraham as something different; the Jews see him as the forefather of the Jewish people, the importance of Abraham to the Christians is more theological than genealogical, meaning Abraham is more of a God and religious belief rather than a line of descent traced from an ancestor. “All three faiths give particular importance to the patriarch Abraham. For Jews, Abraham is not only he who first expounded the faith, but also the forefather of the Jewish people, through his son by Sarah, Isaac. For Christians, Abraham's importance is more theological than genealogical” (The Holy Land: Birthplace of Three Religious Traditions). Muslims see Abraham as a prophet that carries God’s message and is the builder of the Ka’ba, which is the sacred structure that is the geographical center of Islam on earth and is located in Mecca. “For Muslims, Abraham is both an important prophet carrying God's message and the builder of the Ka'ba, the sacred structure in Mecca that is the geographical center of Islam on earth” (The Holy Land: Birthplace of Three Religious

2.1 Agree: 1. Prophets were frequently rejected. 2. Prophets are a communicator between the people and God. 3. The prophet’s “books” we have now were not written by the prophets.

Islam is a complete, widespread way of life. The mosques in Islam is the place of pure worship to God. Al Masjid, the mosque, is one main part of Islam which is considered to be the heart and bottom of all life’s positive and productive activities. The first mosque in Islam was made with palm trees. It was very simple and basic. The walls were made of clay; it was the headquarters of the Islamic State. Unfortunately, people nowadays consider the mosque as a place that is only for praying and prayers, however, Islam established the fact the Masjid plays an important role in the Islamic and the Muslim community, and the classical learned scholars highlighted the fact that there are certain roles and tasks which the Masjid is expected to be central to.

As Miguel elaborated, “Sunni and Shia Muslims pray differently; Sunni Muslims cross their arms while praying, while Shia Muslims keep their hands by their sides. Sunnis pray five times a day while Shias conglomerate their five prayers into three sectors” (Difference Between Shia and Sunni Namaz). This change is a result of each branches ideology. To elaborate, Shia Muslims reject any traditions from the first three caliphs after Muhammad’s death. They believe Ali, the fourth caliph, was the main caliph after Muhammad’s death. Nonetheless, all Muslims institute the Five Pillars of Islam, which are faith, prayer, fasting, alms, and pilgrimage, in everyday life then and

The Islamic faith is based on the belief that prayer is the direct link between the worshipper and God. Muslims believe that prayer by voice is what distinguishes Islam from Judaism and Christianity. The prayers contain verses from the Quran, the muslim holy book, and are recited five times a day at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset, and nightfall. These prayers are led by a well-informed person called an Imam which is identified as the “one who walks before”. The Imam knows the Quran and is chosen by the worshippers based on his dedication and knowledge.

“God chose Adam, Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of Imram (Amram) - each one the posterity of the other- above all human beings.” “The gift of prophecy is bestowed upon Noah,” making him the first prophet. Others followed like Moses and “Abraham.” Noah is a great “admonisher,” a true “messenger,” a “grateful servant of God.” Allah enters a covenant with him just as he later does with Moses, Abraham, and Aaron. Noah is considered a “Muslim.” In the presentation, Noah takes on features that Muhammed, himself, had and faces problems that he faced. He asks forgiveness for his guests; he shows filial piety by praying for his “parents.” His contemporaries for being only one of the people reproach him; they would have preferred an “angel as a messenger.” They say he is “wrong,” is “lying,” is “possessed,” gathers about him only the “lowest of people,” and only depraved people follow him. Noah replies that he “seeks and treasures nothing except from Allah.” He does “not claim to have Allah's treasures or to know his secrets.” Noah was sent to warn the people before a grievous torment came upon them. He reminded them that he was an obvious warner and that he feared for them the torment of the grievous day. He called on the people to “worship only Allah.” He promised that “God would forgive their sins and would give them time, but when the appointed time came, there would be no deferring.” Noah called night and day, but the people put their fingers in their ears and tried to cover themselves with their garments. He spoke both publicly and in secret, urging them to ask for forgiveness, for Allah is forgiving. He promised that Allah would send rain, wealth, gardens, and rivers. He reminded them that Allah had given the moon and the sun. “He had made the earth a carpet that they might

A Muslim has to pray five times a day, the first one when the sun during sunset and the last prayer is during sunrise. If they feel the need, they can do extra prayers. The average prayer takes about 10 minutes, and is in Arabic. The prayer is the connection to God; you can also compare it with meditating, finding your inner peace. I have witnessed one of those prayers, and

The third article of faith in Islam, is the belief in all the prophets and messengers sent by God, ending with Muhammad. All messengers were chosen by God to teach mankind. They were all human, and have no share in divinity, but they are the perfect paradigms for humanity. The messages were all the same, as it came from one God. Their fundamental message was identical, reminding mankind of Allah’s oneness, the reward of a good life, and the Day of Judgment and the terrible punishment for disbelievers (“Islamic Path”). In the Quran, the holy book of Islam, it states the names of the twenty-five prophets, and every Muslim accepts them all. Except for Muhammad, all prophets are considered to be national or local messengers. Muhammad, on the other hand, is considered a prophet for all the nations. He is also described as the “Seal of all Prophets,” as stated in the Quran. He stands as the last messenger. In the Quran, the phenomena of earlier prophets are recognized. Those prophets included, Abraham, Noah, Jesus, Moses, and many others.
