Islam is the second most prevalent religion in the Indian Republic after Hinduism. The religion of Islam originated in Saudi Arabia 1400 years ago. Prophet Mohammad is considered to be the last prophet who propagated the religion of Islam and founded today's Islam.Islam in India arrived in about 7th century (629 AD) and since then it has been a cultural and religious heritage of India. Has become an integral part of the country which constitutes 14.2% of the country's population (17.2 crores as per 2011 census).Three of the first mosques in Kilakarai are: -
1. Barwada Mosque in Ghogha, Gujarat (built before 623 AD)             

   
2. Cheraman Juma Mosque in Methla, Kerala (629 AD)

3. Palaiya Jumma Palli of Tamil Nadu (or Old Jumma Mosque - 628- 630 AD). 

In the early thirteenth century Turks, under the leadership of Mohammad Ghori, captured the Gaddi of Delhi. After this, Sufi saints from Central Asia came to India and settled here. Sheikh Muinuddin Chishti also came early and settled in Ajmer.And even today people of all religions visit his tomb in Ajmer to pay their respects.

Islamic holy book

Texts considered important in Islam

1. Quran: - The Quran is the central religious text of Islam,      which Muslims consider a revelation from God. It is              widely considered to be the best work in classical Arabic      literature. This holy book is considered to be the last          command of Allah, the Prophet. In this book, squeezing        of all books of Islam and everything else is also                    considered. The Quran also recognizes previous books          that have come from Allah.
2. Muslims also have many sects and sub-sects. Here we          have only two sects - Sunni and Shiaa 
(a) Sunni: According to them, the establishment of Caliphos after the Prophet is in accordance with the principles of Islam. The foundation of which was laid by the Prophet. They believe in the Quran and the Prophet's tradition. They do not consider anyone's authority over these two.
(b) Shia: - They also believe in the tradition of Quran and Prophet, but they differ from Sunniyo in terms of succession after Prophet. They believe that the Prophet's rightful heir is Hazrat Ali. The Shiites are of the view that the authority of other Caliphs as heirs was not religious. Between them small differences started emerging and both of them split into different sects.
