The paper is to provide an objective view of what Islam actually denotes in religious terms through questionnaires concerning the basic ideologies behind Islam as a religion. Islam today denotes a global civilization. Today the Islamic world constitutes of nearly 140 countries and 14million muslims around the world who appreciates peace, the terrorist groups which are associated with various Islamic groups does not reflect Islam or its true teachings. In the scriptures it is written that “religion should not be forced ...”. In view of this text the Islamic and Christian civilization is not one of discord but should be one of cooperation. Researchers like Samuel Huntington views the two civilization as a clash of two different civilization but when viewed their roots compliment each other. The difference between the two lies in the differences in the political and economical realms. The Islamic teaching based on 6 gods and 5 scriptures provides a new model of understanding of religion. It does not rely resting on ideological merits but tries to combine the ideology and materialistic circumstances. Islam from its beginning did not separate itself from political realm of governing but tried to incorporate the religious based teachings into politics. Finally, the last legacy Islamic civilization has left us is that of toleration. Islam has always tolerated other religious beliefs and teachings as can be noted in the following words of Mohammad ‘Abraham is my ancestor and Jesus is my predecessor’. When we consider toleration as the most important feature of any religious belief, Islam in this perspective I believe stands out from the rest.
