Some verses stress the quality of Islam as an internal spiritual state: "Whoever God wills to guide, He opens their heart to Islam." The word silm ( سِلْم) in Arabic means both peace and also the religion of Islam. The word Islam ("submission") sometimes has distinct connotations in its various occurrences in the Quran. A Muslim ( مُسْلِم), the word for a follower of Islam, is the active participle of the same verb form, and means "submitter (to God)" or "one who surrenders (to God)". In a religious context, it means "total surrender to the will of God". Islam is the verbal noun of Form IV of the root and means "submission" or "total surrender". In Arabic, Islam ( Arabic: إسلام, lit.'submission ') is the verbal noun originating from the verb سلم ( salama), from triliteral root س-ل-م ( S-L-M), which forms a large class of words mostly relating to concepts of wholeness, submission, sincerity, safeness, and peace.

Sizable Muslim communities are also present in the Americas, China, and Europe. Approximately 12 percent of the world's Muslims live in Indonesia, the most populous Muslim-majority country 31 percent live in South Asia 20 percent live in the Middle East–North Africa and 15 percent live in sub-Saharan Africa. While Sunni–Shia differences initially arose from disagreements over the succession to Muhammad, they grew to cover a broader dimension both theologically and juridically, with the divergence acquiring notable political significance. There are two major Islamic denominations: Sunni Islam (85–90 percent) and Shia Islam (10–15 percent) combined, they make up a majority of the population in 49 countries. The expansion of the Muslim world involved various states and caliphates as well as extensive trade and religious conversion as a result of Islamic missionary activities ( dawah). The Islamic Golden Age refers to the period traditionally dated from the 8th century to the 13th century, during the reign of the Abbasid Caliphate, when much of the Muslim world was experiencing a scientific, economic, and cultural flourishing. Through various caliphates, the religion later spread outside of Arabia shortly after Muhammad's death, and by the 8th century, the Umayyad Caliphate had imposed Islamic rule from the Iberian Peninsula in the west to the Indus Valley in the east. Islam originated in the 7th century at Jabal al-Nour, a mountain peak near Mecca where Muhammad's first revelation is said to have taken place. The cities of Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem are home to the three holiest sites in Islam, in descending order: Masjid al-Haram, Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, and Al-Aqsa Mosque, respectively. Religious concepts and practices include the Five Pillars of Islam-considered obligatory acts of worship-and following Islamic law ( sharia), which touches on virtually every aspect of life, from banking and finance and welfare to women's roles and the environment. Like other Abrahamic religions, Islam also teaches of a " Final Judgement" wherein the righteous will be rewarded in paradise ( Jannah) and the unrighteous will be punished in hell ( Jahannam). They also consider the Quran, when preserved in Classical Arabic, to be the unaltered and final revelation of God to humanity. Muslims believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that was revealed many times through earlier prophets such as Adam, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, among others these earlier revelations are attributed to Judaism and Christianity, which are regarded in Islam as spiritual predecessor faiths. The teachings and practices of Muhammad ( sunnah) documented in traditional collected accounts ( hadith) provide a secondary constitutional model for Muslims to follow after the Quran. Islam teaches that God is merciful, all-powerful, and unique, and has guided humanity through various prophets, revealed scriptures, and natural signs, with the Quran serving as the final and universal revelation and Muhammad serving as the " Seal of the Prophets" (the last prophet of God). It is the world's second-largest religion behind Christianity, with its followers ranging between 1-1.8 billion globally, or around a quarter of the world's population. 
"Submission ") is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion centred primarily around the Quran, a religious text considered by Muslims to be the direct word of the God of Abraham (or Allah) as it was revealed to Muhammad, the main and final Islamic prophet.
