A Muslim, sometimes spelled Moslem,[1] relates to a person who follows the religion of Islam,[2] a monotheistic and Abrahamic religion based on the Quran. Muslims consider the Quran to be the verbatim word of God as revealed to the Islamic prophet and messenger Muhammad. They also follow the sunnah teachings and practices of Muhammad as recorded in traditional accounts called hadith.[3] "Muslim" is an Arabic word meaning "one who submits (to God)".[4] A female Muslim is sometimes called aMuslimah.[citation needed] There are customs holding that a man and woman or teenager and adolescent above the age of fifteen of alunar or solar calendar who possesses the faculties of rationality, logic or sanity, but misses numerous successive Jumu'ahs without a valid excuse, no longer qualifies as a Muslim.[5][6]
Most Muslims will accept[citation needed] anyone who has publicly pronounced the declaration of faith (shahadah) as a Muslim. Theshahadah states:
The testimony authorized by God in the Quran can found in Surah 3:18 states.[8]
"There is no god except God", which in Arabic (La Ilaha Ila Allah), is the exact testimony which God Himself utters, also the angels and those who possess knowledge utter.[9]
Islamic belief commonly held by Muslims include: that God (Arabic: الله Allāh) is eternal, transcendent and absolutely one (monotheism); that God is incomparable, self-sustaining and neither begets nor was begotten; that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that has been revealed before through many prophets including Abraham, Moses, Ishmael and Jesus;[10] that these previous messages and revelations have been partially changed or corrupted over time[11] and that the Qur'an is the final unaltered revelation from God (The Final Testament).[12]
The religious practices of Muslims are enumerated in the Five Pillars of Islam, which, in addition to Shahadah, consist of daily prayers (salat), fasting during the Islamic month ofRamadan (sawm), almsgiving (zakat), and the pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj) at least once in a lifetime.[13][14]
