Question

cultural formations of the muslim people
islamic teachings and principles
as with all religions, at least the basics of islam must be understood to appreciate the roles of
the people and practices faithful to it.
monotheism: like christianity and judaism, islam is a monotheistic religion, meaning it
recognizes a one and only god as the supreme power. islam refers to this deity as allah.
services and prayer: muslims conduct worship services in mosques, islams equivalent
to christian churches, though worship can also be conducted elsewhere.
central figure: islam was first preached by muhammad, recognized by muslims as the
religions greatest prophet.
center of worship: islam has multiple religious hubs but recognizes the city of mecca in
saudi arabia as its greatest holy place. one traditional \pillar of islam\ calls for all
followers to make at least one pilgrimage to mecca in their lifetimes.
dispelling stigma: following the attacks of 9/11/2001, the islamic concept of jihad
became a significant source of stigma for its association with the historical \holy wars\ of
some sects. however, jihad universally refers to the struggle with oneself to follow the
principles of the faith.
what is considered to be the supreme authority in islam?
muhammad
allah
mosques

Explanation:

The text states that Islam is a monotheistic religion, recognizing one and only God as the supreme power, and Islam refers to this deity as Allah. Muhammad is the greatest prophet, not the supreme authority. Mosques are places of worship, not the supreme authority.

Answer:

Allah
