 with Islam

In about 610 A.D., the angel Gabriel appeared to a man named Mohammed in Saudi Arabia and told him that God had commissioned him as His last Prophet.

At Palmyra, in the United States, Smith established the first Mormon Community. At Medina, in Saudi Arabia, Mohammed established the first Moslem Community.
Smith was succeeded by a series of rulers (seers and revelators) under whom Mormonism burst forth as a new power in Utah, USA. Mohammed was succeeded by a series of rulers (caliphs) under whom Islam burst forth as a new power on the world.

Basic Mormon Practice is summoned up this way:
  1.  Elohim et al - Faith: three Gods for Earth

  3.  N/A - Some concern the needy: Deseret Industries

  4.  Fasting - Self-purification through fasting

  5.  "Go to the Temple" - Pilgrimage to a nearby Mormon temple

Basic Islam Practice is summoned up in the Five Pillars of Worship:
  1.  Shahada - Faith: one God and His prophet is Muhammad

  2.  Salat - 5 daily prayers

  3.  Zakat - Concern for and alms-giving to the needy

  4.  Sawm - Self-purification by fasting

  5.  Hajj - Pilgrimage to Mecca for those who are able
