| | Religious Society of Friends - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Although Quakers throughout most of their history, and in most parts of the world today, have considered Quakerism to be a Christian movement, there are some Friends today (principally in the unprogrammed Meetings of the United States and the United Kingdom) who consider themselves atheist, universalist or who do not accept any religious label. | | | Quakerism is often termed a mystical religion because of its emphasis on the personal experience of God, but it differs from other mystical religions in two important ways. | | | Early Quakerism included a strong sense of spiritual egalitarianism, including a belief in the spiritual equality of the sexes—remarkable for that time. |

| | Islamic history begins in Arabia in the 7th century with the emergence of the prophet Muhammad. | | | The Qur'an is the foremost source of Islamic jurisprudence; the second is the Sunnah (the practices of the Prophet, as narrated in reports of his life). | | | The basis of Islamic belief is found in the shahādatān ("two testimonies"): lā ilāhā illā-llāhu; muhammadur-rasūlu-llāhi — "There is no god but God; Muhammad is the messenger of God." In order to become a Muslim, one needs to recite and believe in these statements. |

| | Quaker worship and decision-making are both shaped by a common search for the Truth as revealed by the prompting of the Spirit. | | | In 1887, an important conference was held in Richmond: Quakers from North America and England gathered to create a statement of faith and practice as a basis for unity. | | | Some congregations worship out of silence with members and attenders speaking as they are led by the Spirit, while others, known as "programmed Friends," choose to worship with hymns, scripture readings, a prepared message from a pastor, and other elements familiar to many contemporary Christians. |
