3) Why was Islam not liked at first? |
Islam is a cult rather than a religion, born out of the mind of warmongering, egomaniac, pedophile! Islam hasn't evolved the same way other religions has. Stuck in the dark ages it is ruled by fear and draconian punishments! Muslims are the first victims of Islam, often being brainwashed and told to disregard any logical thinking by the age of 2 or 3. Muslims are hypocrites and so was Mohammad! For example : the Quran is the spoken word of Allah and clear for all to understand, for all of mankind and for all places and all times!? Why then are there the hadiths, tafseers and commentaries? Why are various sects and clerics understanding it differently to the point of being at war with each other if it is for all to understand so clearly?

5) What is the Quran? |
the Islamic sacred book, believed to be the word of God as dictated to Muhammad by the archangel Gabriel and written down in Arabic. The Koran consists of 114 units of varying lengths, known as suras ; the first sura is said as part of the ritual prayer. These touch upon all aspects of human existence, including matters of doctrine, social organization, and legislation.

6) What are the 5 pillars of Islam and Sunna? |
The Five Pillars of Islam are the five religious duties expected of every Muslim. The five pillars are mentioned individually throughout the Quran and they are listed together in the Hadith when he was asked to define Islam.
Within a few decades of Muhammad's death, the five practices were singled out to serve as anchoring points in the Muslim community and designated "pillars." Fulfillment of the Five Pillars is believed to bring rewards both in this life and in the afterlife. The pillars are acknowledged and observed by all sects of Muslims, including the largest sect of Sunni Islam, although Shias add further obligatory duties, including: jihad, payment of the imam's tax, the encouragement of good deeds and the prevention of evil. |
