The word Islam means submission and obedience, so Islam is much more than simply a religion. For Muslims, it is a complete way of life. The Holy Book of Islam is the Qur'an, and it is seen as a sort of guide book for life. It was revealed to Muhammed (peace be upon him) by Allah, and as a result is considered to be the words of Allah given to humans so that they may become closer to him. In the Qur'an, Muslims will find teaching about marriage and family life, work, and other day to day experiences. Muhammed (peace be upon him) is seen as the perfect example for living. In this title we will look at some of these issues, as well as the idea of pilgrimage in Islam and the role of leaders in the Islamic community.
