By *Istam* we mean the religion preached by the Prophet of Islam -Muhammad - in the A.D. 600s. Muhammad was an Arab who was bom inMecca about 570. He was a son of the noble parents - 'Abdullah andAaminah. He believed he had been sent by Allah to warn and guide his peopleand to call them to worship only One God (Allah). Muhammad, preachedthat there is only One God and that he (Muhammad) was God's messenger.Those who believe in the One God and accept Muhammad as His messengerare called 'Muslim's. The word "Muslim" is an Arabic word that means 'Onewho submits to God (Allah). 'Islam^ is an Arabic term equivalent to"submission".' The Western scholars often call Islam as 'Muhammadanism'and its followers 'Muhamamdans', which is incorrect, because Muslims feelthat these terms (Muhammadanism and Muhamadans) give the wrongimpression that Muslims worship Muhammad. But, in reality Muslims believein Tawhid (Unity of God) and they do not worship anything except 'Allah'.
