Answer:
Taoism -- sometimes spelled "Daoism" -- is an ancient Chinese religious and philosophical tradition. It dates back to at least the third or fourth century B.C., and its advent is often associated with the figure of Lao Tzu, who purportedly wrote the Taoist classic text, the "Tao Te Ching." "Tao" means, roughly, "the Way," and refers to both the ordering principle of the universe and to the gentle seeking of accommodation with it. Religious Taoism is polytheistic, worshiping no single, omnipotent god, and instead venerating a pantheon of gods, many of whom have functional titles and roles. The word "Islam" means "submission" -- in this case, to God. It was founded in the Arabian peninsula in first half of the seventh century CE. Muhammad, hailed by Muslims as the last prophet of the Abrahamic God of the Jews and Christians, established an Islamic theocracy first in Medina, and later in Mecca, eventually gaining power over most of the Arabian peninsula before his death in 632. Muslims believe that Muhammad received divine revelations through the angel Gabriel; these revelations were subsequently recorded in a holy book -- the Koran or Qur'an.
