 Islam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muslims believe that the God they worship is the same as the Judeo-Christian God, i.e.
Muslims hold that Islam is essentially the same belief as that of all the messengers sent by God to humanity since Adam, with the Qur'an (the text used by all sects of the Muslim faith) codifying the final revelation of God.
However, Muslims reject the Christian theology concerning the trinity of God (the doctrine of the Trinity which regards Jesus as the eternal Son of God), seeing it as akin to polytheism.

 Muslim - definition of Muslim in Encyclopedia
Muslims consider the Arabic Qur'an as the direct revelation of God; translations do exist to other languages but are not regarded as the literal word of God.
The basic beliefs of Muslims are: belief in God, His angels, His revealed Books, His Messengers, the Day of Judgement, and the Al Qadar (which is a form of divine pre-destination).
Jesus ("Isa") is believed by Muslims to have been a prophet of God.

 Islam
Muslims claim that the message presented to Muhammad is the last revelation; this time the message was not altered.
A more common assumption among Muslims, however, is that the belief of the two religions is too altered by humans to represent the divine truth, hence a Christian and a Jew will not be rewarded the same way as a devout Muslim.

 Muslim
There is a bit of creed in the name 'Muslim', as it tells that the true believer is one who do not challenge God and his will, and who tries to live his/her life according the rules without questioning them.
The literal meaning of Muslim is a person who "submits" to the will of God.
By many Muslim thinkers and theologians, the word Muslim is considered as a quality that not all inhabitants in the Muslim world can claim.

Even though Islam and Muslims have their fair share of bigoted critics, the negative stereotypes and bad press that commonly malign Islam these days are ultimately the fault of Muslims since they've allowed themselves to be seduced by nascent modern interpretations of Islam that are often unduly militant, subtly self-righteous and spiritually arid.

 Muslim Encyclopedia Article @ HigherPower.org (Higher Power)
Many English-language writers used to call Muslims Mohammedans or Mahometans, meaning "followers of Mohammed," but this terminology is considered incorrect and insulting by Muslims, because Muslims believe it implies that they worship the prophet Muhammad, contrary to the fundamental principles of Islam itself.
In addition, Muslims believe that the religion of submitting to God (Islām in Arabic) existed long before the birth of Muhammad, making all the prophets before him "Muslims."
"Muslim" thus means "someone who has submitted" (to the will of God).
