The first mankind created by god was Adam and Eve (she was created by Adams ribs). They were one of Gods greatest creations and God told angels to bow down to them. Though all the other angels did, one of the angel disagreed to bow down saying I am made out of fire, and these creation were made out of mud and I shall not bow down to those that I am superior than. The angel who disagreed became a devil (jinn) and this made the jinn very angry. So when god put Adam and Eve in paradise and told them not to eat the forbidden apple, jinn made sure that they do. Jinn convinced Eve to take a bit and then Eve convinced Adam to eat it. This made god angry and god put the two of them on earth.

Islam believes in both Jesus and Moses, along with many other prophets. However, Muslims believe that prophet Mohammed was the main prophet and that he was the one who spread the religion.

The Qur'an is the holy book that contains all the rules and regulations that a Muslim should follow. It is written in Arabic and is similar to the Bible and the Old Testament. These rules were sent from the Abrahamic god to prophet Mohammed and later wrote down in the form of a book.

The five pillars of Islam are five basic acts in Islam. They are considered obligatory by believers and are the foundation of Muslim life. They are: 1. daily prayers (salah) 2. almsgiving (zakt) 3. fasting during the month of Ramadan (sawm) 4. the pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj) at least once in a lifetime. 5. the shahada (Islamic creed)

Angels

Devils (jinn)

Ones who watches over you and helps you do good things. On right shoulder.

Makes sure that you do bad things. On left shoulder.

 The

afterlife takes place after death. Muslims believe in Judgment Day, a day where people are judged according to their deeds. Muslims believe that you will go to Hell (Jahannam) if you have committed sins most of your life. However, they also believe that if you have done good deeds for most of your life, you will go to Heaven (Janna). The day of judgment is described as passing over Hell on a narrow bridge in order to enter Paradise. Those who fall, weighted by their bad deeds, will remain in Hell forever.

Islam is important because it used to be a major way of life that leads to peace in yourself, between yourself and the surrounding people and universe, and between yourself and your Creator. Islam is important because it is the mission of all prophets since the start of mankind, including Adam, Noah, Abraham (Ibrahim), Lut, Ishmael (Ismael), Isaac, Jacob, Joseph (Yusuf), Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus, and Muhammad. They all called for one message: There is no god except the one and only one God (Allah) the Creator. Islam is important because it is last God (Allah) message to human kind that is concluding all previous God messages including that of Moses and Jesus. Islam is important because it was called for by the last God (Allah) prophet, Muhammad (PBUH) who was sent by God to humanity as the model for every aspect of life, State leader, good morals, leader in peace, leader in war, leader as husband, leader in conduct,...(teaches how to live life).
