Islam stands for the religion followed by Muslims, which is based on the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad and the holy book known as the Quran. The word "Islam" itself means submission or surrender to the will of God. The religion emphasizes the oneness of God, known as Allah, and the belief in Muhammad as the last and final prophet. Islam promotes the principles of faith, prayer, fasting, giving charity, and pilgrimage to Mecca. Additionally, it emphasizes moral conduct, justice, compassion, and social responsibility.
