What does the ISLAM religion believe?
That is a big question! In a nutshell they believe that: – – Muhammad was the final prophet of God – The Jewish and Christian Bible was inspired by God but corrupted by men. The Koran is believed to be the perfection of God’s message to man. hence why Christians and Jews are referred to as ‘people of the book’ – That Jesus was the Jewish messiah. he will return one day to judge the world – They do not believe that Jesus was crucified (as Allah would not allow that to happen to one of his prophets). Instread someone was made to look like jesus and crucified. Some traditions say that person was Judas – They believe in the existence of Satan and demons – They basic structure of the faith begins with the five pillars.
