Background Knowledge: Islam Islam is the second largest religion in the world. People who believe in Islam are called Muslims. Muslims believe God (called Allah) spoke to the prophet Muhammad so that he could write The Qur’an, their bible. Muslims believe that a pure life (according to the Five Pillars of Islam) is the path to heaven.

Background Knowledge: Sha’ria Law the application of Islamic teachings to civil laws and government is called Sha’ria when the author refers to “fundamentalists,” she is referring to Muslims who want to make Sha’ria the official law of Iran.
