Islam is a religion that means "submission to the will of God" and is the second largest religion in the world. Muslims believe in one God, Allah, and that Muhammad was the final prophet sent by God. The word "Islam" can also mean "peace", which signifies that submission to Allah brings peace of mind and body.
Here are some key aspects of Islam:

Holy texts
The Quran is the primary holy text of Islam, and the Hadith is another important book. Muslims also revere some material from the Judeo-Christian Bible.
