Islam is a monotheistic religion that was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the 7th century CE. It is based on the teachings of the Quran, which is considered the word of God, and the Hadith, which consists of the sayings, actions, and approvals of the Prophet. Islam emphasizes the importance of there being only one God (Allah), and that all other divine beings are false. It also emphasizes the importance of the Five Pillars of Islam, which are the declaration of faith (Shahada), prayer (Salat), charity (Zakat), fasting (Sawm), and pilgrimage (Hajj). In addition, Islam provides guidance on various aspects of life such as personal ethics, social relations, and economic dealings.
Islamicisation is a noun that refers to the process of becoming more Islamic or the spread of Islamic values, practices, and institutions into a society or culture. It can also refer to the adoption of Islamic customs, laws, and traditions in a particular region or country.
Islamicists are individuals who advocate for the strict interpretation and implementation of Islamic law and teachings, often in a political or ideological sense. They may believe in the need to separate Muslims from non-Muslims and may seek to impose Islamic law on society. The term can be controversial, as some people view it as having connotations of extremism or intolerance.
