WHAT DOES MUSLIM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Muslim

Muslim

A Muslim, sometimes spelled Moslem, is an adherent of Islam, a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the Quran. Muslims consider the Quran to be the verbatim word of God as revealed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. They also follow the teachings and practices of Muhammad as recorded in traditional accounts called hadith. "Muslim" is an Arabic word meaning "one who submits to God". A female Muslim is sometimes called a "Muslimah". Muslims believe that God is eternal, transcendent and absolutely one. They hold that God is incomparable, self-sustaining and neither begets nor was begotten. They also believe 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. Muslims also believe that these previous messages and revelations have been partially changed or corrupted over time and that the Qur'an is the final unaltered revelation from God. Most Muslims accept as a Muslim anyone who has publicly pronounced the Shahadah which states: I testify that there is no god except for the God, and I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of God.

2
Randa Abdel-Fattah
Most Muslim women know it is fear and curiosity that cause people to stare. They know it is ignorance and stereotypes that cause people to suppose that a piece of material covering the hair strips a woman of the ability to speak English, pursue a career, work a remote control.
3
Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Unlike the United Kingdom or the Commonwealth, the umma, or Muslim community, has no symbolic leader, let alone a formal one.
4
Ayaan Hirsi Ali
I believe that the dysfunctional Muslim family constitutes a real threat to the very fabric of western life. It is in the family that children are groomed to practise, promote and pass on the norms of their parents' culture.

Reza Aslan
The Muslim community is completely fractured - it doesn't really exist anymore; the only place it does exist is online.
