The statement that Islam is the religion of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is true, for it is the religion of Allah that He legislated for His servants and sent Muhammad with it. As for swearing by religion, it is not permissible, and there is no expiation for it except to say "Lā ilāha illā Allāh" (There is no god but Allah).
