ISLAM
In Brief
What is Islam?
 | Islâm
(in Arabic) means submission to the will of Allâh and obedience to His law. Everything and
every phenomenon in the world, other than man is administrated totally by
Allâh-made
laws. Hence, they are obedient and submissive to His laws i.e. they are in
the state of Islâm.
Islâm
is derived from the Arabic root “Sa-li-ma”
that means: peace, purity, submission and obedience.
|
|
Man
possesses the inherent qualities of intelligence and choice, thus he is invited
to submit to the good will of Allâh
and obey His law i.e. become a Muslim.
|
|
Submission to
the good will of Allâh, together with obedience to His
beneficial law i.e. becoming a Muslim, is the best safeguard for man’s
peace and harmony. |
|
In this sense,
Islâm
is the common message conveyed to Adam and to all Allâh’s Prophets and Messengers, including
Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. |
|
In its final
form revealed to Allâh’s
last Messenger Muhammed, the message has been restored, completed
and finalized. |
|
The word “Allâh”
in the Arabic Language means God, or more accurately: The One and Only
Eternal God, Creator of the Universe, Lord of all lords, King of all kings,
Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. The word Allâh to mean God: is also used by
Arabic-speaking Jews and Christians as well. |
