INTRODUCTION
A religion that shuns the worship of God in any tangible form, Islam believes in a Supreme Being, the creator, who confounds all human understanding. The basic tenets of Islam revolve around obedience to the commandments of God as revealed in the Koran, which include struggle for peace and justice, consideration for the rights of others and continuous self-betterment for the realization of the Ultimate.
