Mohammedanism

Religion of Muslims

Mohammedanism is an older term for Islam, the religion founded by the Prophet Muhammad.

The word is now considered dated and often offensive to Muslims, who reject the implication that they worship Muhammad rather than God.

The preferred terms are Islam for the religion and Muslim for its adherents.
