Islam
Before going on to Islamic architecture, we should know the meaning of Islam.
Islam on its own means wholeness, safeness and peace. This word has numerous significance which relates to 'a way of living'. In religious context, it means "voluntary submission to God". The objective of a muslim is to obey God/ Allah. He has been placed on this earth to obey the command of Allah and the Worship of Allah itself. All the intentions, deeds, action that a muslim is doing should be pleasing Allah.
Islam is said to be the first religion, the one that Adam and eve had. Muslim believes in all the prophets from Adam to the last prophet Muhammad SAW who brought along the Qu'raan and Hadith.
Prophet Muhammad SAW born in 570 AD In Mekkah from the Qureish family. From birth itself he had different titles, Al- Amin, He was highly respected throughout his tribe for his kind heart and truthfulness. He left in this world the Qu'raan, Hadith and Sunnah. Qu'raan is the sayings of Allah to human kind which was revealed to the Prophet during his meditation period brought by the Angels. Hadith is the things said by the Prophet Muhammad SAW throughout his life time on Earth and Sunnah is his Actions. As in Islam, Muslim considers the Prophet SAW to be their role model, so they try to follow the hadith and sunnah which is considered the perfect way for a living Muslim.
