Islam is the youngest of the Abrahamic traditions and one of the fastest-growing in the world, rooted in the revelation of the Qur'an to the Prophet Muhammad in seventh-century Arabia and expressed in the five pillars that structure a Muslim life: witnessing, prayer, fasting, giving, and pilgrimage. Its central vision is tawhid — the absolute unity and oneness of God — and from that center radiates an entire civilization of law, philosophy, art, mysticism, and ethical practice. To understand Islam is to encounter not a monolith but a living conversation carried on across fourteen centuries and every culture on earth.
