Islam is a beautiful and simple religion in its purest form: completely based on the Quran, a text considered by Muslims as the final revelation of God, which was revealed to the Prophet Mohammed over a 22 year span in the early 7th century. As with many religions, mainstream Muslims have clouded the religion with rituals and sayings collected in whats know as the Hadiths. Hadiths The Hadiths are mainly a collection of rituals, sayings, and rulings by scholars claimed to be from the Prophet Mohammed that was recorded hundreds of years after his death. Mainstream Muslims typically accept the Hadiths as another religious text paired with the Quran. However, the Quran is explicit in the fact that it was to be thefinal and complete text of God. The Quran The Quran was revealed to Mohammed by the Angel Gabriel between the years of 610 AD to 632 AD and was intended to be the last, complete testament of God to the people. It includes 144 chapters known as surahs and the message is very simple: worship God alone and completely submit to His will. The Quran does not condone killing or many of the other stereotypical and unlearned views of the religion of Islam, but its full of peace, love for others, and using ones reason to interpret the world around the believer.
