    Start with this for a general understanding. Then, do a further internet search on Islam or whatever other questions you may have.

    Islam is a monotheistic faith and muslims proclaim that "there is no diety worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad is His slave and messenger".

    The 6 tenets of faith are:
    - belief in Allah
    - belief in the Angels
    - belief in all the revealed Books
    - belief in all the Messengers & Prophets
    - belief in the Last Day of Reckoning
    - belief in fate and predestination (both good and bad)

    Islam is a verb and literally means submitting to the will of God in peace. This is unlike most of the major religions that are named after a person or place, e.g. Judah-Judaism, Christ-Christianity, Buddha-Buddhism, Indus Valley-Hinduism, etc. So Islam is an active verb and the one who submits is a doer of Islam or an Islamer. In Arabic there is a prefix 'mu' like the suffix 'er' in English. So a Mu-islam or Muslim is one who submits his/her will to the will of his Lord. All the Prophets sent by God to guide humanity from the time of Adam to Noah to Abraham to Moses to Jesus and Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all) were muslims in the true sense because they devoted their lives to the God's mission - to take mankind from darkness to light!
