Crescent Moon and Star of Islam

The Crescent Moon, a waxing, growing moon, represents paradise in the Islamic faith.
Islam began in the Middle East about 1500 years ago with the prophet Muhammad. Its wisdom is contained in the Koran and the Old Testament of the Chrsitian Bible.

Islamics, or Muslims, believe in one true God, Allah. Islam means to accept, to surrender. A good Muslim submits to the will of Allah, prays five times a day, and makes at least one lifetime pilgrimage to Mecca.

The Islamic version of the Golden Rule is: No one is a believer until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.
