Always use 'El'
In Spanish, when you talk about religions in a general way, you usually put 'el' (the) in front of them. So, instead of just saying 'Islam is...', you say 'El islam es...'
Lowercase vs. Uppercase
Unlike English where religions are always capitalized, in Spanish, names of religions like 'islam,' 'cristianismo,' or 'judaísmo' are usually written in lowercase unless they start a sentence.
Religion vs. Person
Mistake: “Él es islam.”
Correction: Él es musulmán. Use 'islam' for the religion and 'musulmán' for the person who follows it.
Wrong Gender
