A great emphasis is on a so called ''"tawheed"'', which means worshiping only Allah and no other gods <ref>''"...The man asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) What is Islam?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Islam is to worship Allah and not worship anything besides Him..."'' {{Bukhari|6|60|300}}</ref>. Muslims are repeating phrases like "No god, but Allah!" (''la ilaha illa allah'') or "Allah is the greatest!" (''Allahu Akbar'') to emphasize the rejection of other gods. Polytheism is not very popular today, but to understand why Islam is so obsessed with it, we have to realize Muhammad was born in Mecca, where polytheists lived. Polytheism is called ''shirk'' and Islam accuses even other monotheistic religions, like Christianity of committing ''shirk'' (claiming Jesus is the son of God is a type of ''shirk''). Although Muslims are supposed to worship god and nobody else, the only way they know Allah is from Muhammad and also Muhammad revealed that he is a [[Uswa Hasana|perfect human]] being, who should be emulated and that Allah wants people to obey Muhammad, so practically, in Islam, you have to do everything Muhammad says, regardless if it was his opinion or a revelation. Muhammad's way of life is called the ''sunnah'' and it is also a part of Islam, besides the Quran. We can read about sunnah in various collections of hadith (narrations from Muhammad and his followers) and the sira (his life story). | |||
Islam is considered to be one of Abrahamic religions, because the Quran borrows a lot from the Bible. It talks about Abraham, Moses and Jesus (Isa). Jesus is considered to be only a prophet. The Quran also contains a lot of Jewish, Christian and pagan myths which were wide-spread in 7th century Arabia. | |||
Besides the theology and myths, Muhammad revealed a lot of verses dealing with his personal life and the early Muslim community. Muslims all over the world today, read verses about the creator of the universe being angry at Muhammad's uncle Abu Lahab. There are also a lot of commands for the Muslims. For example, Muhammad was waging wars against other Arab tribes and was preaching his revelations, which say that God wants Muhammad's army to kill and [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Slavery|enslave]] people. Islam is famous among non-Muslims for being spread by the sword and for oppression of women. | |||
