ISLAM In Brief

What is Islam?

bulletIslâm (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.
