In at least one paragraph, write a reply to this: "Islam is not well understood in the west. However, it does share similar roots and characteristics to Christianity and Judaism. In the 7th century and over the span of 200 years, Islam went from being not existent to being one of the largest empires. Like the in the Christian faith, the Angel Gabriel appeared Mary, he appeared to Muhammed, telling him to recite the world of God. Muslims believe that God sent Muhammad as the final prophet to bring people back to the one true religion -- one that revolves around the submission of a single, all-powerful God. Contrary to the Bible, the Quran is written from the first person point of view. The five pillars of faith, at least considered by Sunni Muslims are 1. Shahada, faith in the one true God 2. Salat, prayer 5 times a day 3. Sawm, fasting 4. Zakat, alms giving 5. Hajj, pilgrimage to Mecca. Muhammed was not only a prophet, but also a General, and at the time Islam was a power political force as well as a religious one. Separate from Christianity and Judaism, there was no separate tradition of civic and religious law, rather it was both in one -- Sharia law. After the death of Muhammed, the first caliphs started the military campaigns against the Byzantine and Sassanian empires, that massively grew the Islamic empire. Today, conservative Islam continues to attempt to restore that glory that Islam gained during its initial growth."
