following matching activity.
1. Islam is the name of the religion. The word Islam means “surrender.” Muslim refers to the
followers of Islam. The term Muslim means “one who surrenders to God.”
2. Worldwide, there are 1.2 billion Muslims. Islam is the dominant religion throughout large
portions of Asia and Africa, with the largest Muslim populations living in Indonesia, Pakistan,
and Bangladesh.
3. Islam is the third of the three largest monotheistic (belief in one God) religions, in addition to
Judaism and Christianity.

prophet Muhammad (570-632) through the angel Gabriel.
5. The Muslim place of worship is called a mosque and their prayer leaders are called imams.

and his Prophet Muhammad. 2. Pray five times a day - morning, noon, afternoon, sunset and

7. A prophet is a messenger of God. According to Islam, there are five major prophets: Noah,
Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (God’s last and most important prophet).
8. Muslims, unlike Christians, do not believe that Jesus was God's son, although they do believe
he was a prophet.
9. The Qu'ran contains much of the basic information told in the Bible's Old Testament and in the
Torah as well as additional information.
10. Women dress modestly out of reverence for God, not for men. Muslim women are not more
submissive than other women. Some argue that Muslim women, in fact, have been treated better
than women in other cultures. For example, women in Islam were given the right to vote about
1,400 years ago, centuries before other women.
11. There are two main sects (branches) of Islam: Sunni and Shi'ite. One of their main differences
is in their beliefs about who were the leaders following the death of Prophet Muhammad and how
they became leaders (appointed by God or elected).
12. There is an Islamic idea known as jihad, which means “striving in the way of Allah,” but
some Islamist extremists interpret it as “holy war.”
13. There are two major holidays in Islam: Eid al Adha is at the end of the pilgrimage to Mecca
and Eid al Fitr (the most important holiday) is at the end of Ramadan.
