Let me preface this by saying I do not believe Islam can be fully captured in five main points. I believe people should be expected to know as much about the Qur'an as they do about the Bible. Similar to the Bible, the Qur'an or Islam has an undeniable influence on global politics, social issues, and literature which justifies an equal necessity for understanding both. Keeping that in mind along with the understanding that education about Islam will not become commonplace any time soon, I present five key points that everyone should know about Islam.
