520 Approximately one-fifth on the world's population is
Muslim, concentrated in an area on either side of the
equator and stretching from Morocco in the west to the
Philippines in the east. Islam means "submission to the
will of God'; Muslims are "submitters" to God's will as it
was communicated to the prophet Muhammad in a series of
divine revelations. The Muslim scripture (the Qur'an)
contains these revelations, and it is considered to be the
eternal speech of God. Muhammad's call to prophecy
occurred in about 610 CE. By the time of his death in 632
he had established the structure of a new religious
outlook, and he had brought the whole of the Arabian
Peninsula under his sway. Controversy over headship of the
Muslim community led to a major division among the
faithful. Those known as the Shi'ah Muslims advocated a
hereditary succession, while Sunni Muslims (today the
large majority) held to a principle of election. In the
years immediately after Muhammad's death, Islam spread
quickly throughout the Middle East. This expansion laid
the foundations of a mighty empire that reached the zenith
of its political and cultural brilliance in the 9th and
10th centuries, under the caliphs of the 'Abbasid dynasty
(who established their capital in Baghdad). In subsequent
waves of expansion, Islam spread across North Africa and
then into Europe, Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent,
the Indonesian archipelago, and even farther east. Islam
has continued to dominate in the regions overrun in the
early conquests, though the united empire crumbled and
gave way to a series of regional dynasties and, more
recently, to national states. Religiously speaking, for
Muslims the central human problem is our need of guidance.
History is a repeated process of receiving guidance
through prophecy and then of falling away from it. Muslims
see Muhammad as the last of a great series of prophets
that began with Adam and continued with others such as
Abraham, Moses, David, and Jesus. The full implications of
the divine guidance offered to humanity are worked out in
the Shari'ah, or Islamic law. It stipulates essential
obligations towards God ('ibadat) as well as ethical
obligations towards other people. The most important of
the obligations towards God are the five "pillars" of
Islam: the profession of faith, prayer, alms giving,
fasting, and pilgrimage.
