who is Allah?
Allah is the proper Arabic name for god. Muslims believe in a worship the same one god that Jews and Christians worship.
Allah says in the quran: and do not debate with the people of the book, unless in the best of manner ,but not with those who are unjust ,and say :we believe in the revelation that has come down to us and in that which came down to you ; our god and your god is one ; and to him do we wholly give ourselves. (quran 29:46)
Allah is a unique term with no plural and no gender. it predates Muhammad and was also used to in the form of El, elah or Elohim by David ,moses ,Jesus ,and other messengers of god,peace upon them all.
he is god , the one, that there is do deity but he; the knower of the unseen and the apparent ;he he id the source of all mercy, the merciful.
he is god, the one, that there id no deity but he , the king ,the holy, the source of all peace,the guardian of faith, the presever , the mighty the compeller ,the majestic; glory to god, beyond their associations (of parents with him)!
he is ;the creator ,the maker , the fashioner. to him belong the most beautiful names. all that is in the heavens and the earth magnifies him ; he is the mighty, the wise. (quran 59:22-24)

what do muslims think about jesus ?
muslims kive and respect jesus. they consider him one of the greatest of gid’s prophets and messengers t o humankind. a muslim never refers to him simply as jesus, but always add a phrase “may the peace and blessing of god be upon him”.the quran confirms his virgin birth and a special chapter of the quran is entitled mary, after the mother of jesus.
jesus was born mirculously through the same power that had brought adam into being:truly the example of jesus in relation to god is as the example of adam . he created him from dust and then said to him,be and he was.(quran 3:59)
during the prophetic mission ,prophet Jesus performed many miracles. in the quran, Jesus is reported as saying: i have come to you with a sign from your lord:i make for you out of clay , as it were ,a figure of a bird,and breath into it and it becomes a bird by god’s leave. and i heal the blind,and the lepers,and i raise the dead by gods leave….(quran 3:49)
neither Muhammad nor Jesus came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in one god, brought by earlier prophets , but to confirm and renew it. Jesus said:and i have come to attest the Torah that was before me. and to make lawful to you ;i have come to you with a sign from your lord;so be conscious of god and obey me (quran 3:50)

what muslims believe in
what do muslims believe in, is the questions of many people in the world. Muslims believe in one god that is the same god that prophet Adam , noah, abraham , moses, jesus , and mohammad believed in. we do not believe that mohammad is god, we believe in that he is like anyother messemger sent from god to invite people back to worshiping god not idols. islam do not force people to come in islam. instead they invite people to come learn about islam. MUSLIMS ARE NOT TERRORISTS, MUSLIMS ARE PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE IN PEACE,AND NOT VALANCE. THE PEOPLE ON THE NEWS ARE NOT MUSLIMS BUT INSTEAD THEY ARE EXTREMIST.IT IS AGAINST THEIR RELIGION TO KILL THEM SELF! Also muslims pray to god every single day, five times a day. muslims do not date.muslims do not have arranged marriages and are not forced to marry someone you don’t want. they also believe to respect everyones religion in the world and not to make fun of other peoples beliefs. they also treat every one equal and are not racist to other people ,and they also treat their neighbors nicely. in islam muslims respect their older parents and elder except if their parents are against Islam example would be if your parents say do not pray well its against islam religion that they don’t pray to god. in islam we have two holidays called ramdon,and eid al atha . in ramdon is when every muslim fast for a month. fasting is when you don’t eat or drink all day, but you eat when it is night time.children that are 10and under don’t have to fast because their only kids but 11 and over have to at least try to fast. the other holiday is called eid all atha. This “feast of sacrifice,” celebrated from the 10th through the 13th of Zul-Hijjah, marks the anniverary of Abraham’s attempt to sacrifice his son Ishmael on God’s orders (Jews and Christians believe it was Isaac). At this time Muslims make a Haj, or pilgrimage to Mecca. Celebrations begin with an animal sacrifice to commemorate the angel Gabriel giving Abraham a lamb as substitute. Some Muslims see Abraham as the first Muslim because he was willing to submit to God even to the point of killing his son. Celebrating an attempted human sacrifice demonstrates the problems in an ideology of absolute submission. i will be putting another post on information only on Islam holidays.
