Islam is one of the three great monotheistic religions of the world (along with Judaism
and Christianity) believing in one God. The religion traces its roots directly to the Prophet
Muhammad during the late 500s A.D. Muslims believe that Muhammad was visited by the
Archangel Gabriel and presented with the Word of God—that there is but one God—Allah.
The communications between Muhammad and the Angel Gabriel were compiled into the
Qur'an, defining everything from the nature of God and Man to the mundane rituals of
cleanliness and bathing. Islam believes Jesus was also a Prophet, but not of divinity. Muslims also use the Old and New Testaments as part of their tradition. Christianity does not see Muhammad as the final Prophet of God, and doesn't use the Five Pillars. Muhammad, like Jesus, as accepted in some areas and not welcome in others. Both religions saw fractures, and developments of different components within the respective religions upon the deaths of Jesus and Muhammad. Islam has a Caliph, and the Catholic church has the Pope. Islam for the most part combines, or wants to combine religion and state, where Christianity separates church and state.
