Explanation: Muslims are followers of Islam, the fastest growing religion worldwide. Allah is God in Islam. On the last day, Allah will judge people based on what they have done and assign them to either heaven or hell. Hinduism, not Islam, believes that the universe has no beginning and no end, and that there are three paths to spiritual fulfillment: knowledge, insight, and wisdom; action; and ecstatic devotion. Judaism, not Islam, believes that suffering is a part of human growth and change, but God does not test people beyond what they are able to bear.
