What is Islam?
This will answer what the religion of islam is all about for beginners.
The word Islam is the synonym of the noun 'aslama,' which means 'resigned or submitted.' In the context of religion, it means, 'to submit one's will, to the will of God.' Islam encourages one to submit to the will of God, in exchange to acquire peace and contentment in this life and in the hereafter. Only when one submits to God, by believing in Him and obeying His commandments, does one achieve an innate and lasting sense of security, true peace of mind, and surety of heart.
The word Islam is derived from an Arabic root word which means peace, purity, safety, salutation, submission, acceptance, surrender, and obedience. With the act of submission one would attain peace within themselves, and in accordance with their Creator and their fellow beings. The religion of Islam demonstrates that only through the doing of good and the seeking of God's pleasure can one find true happiness, peace, and contentment in life.
Man cannot live peacefully or successfully without religion, and this religion cannot be manmade. Religion has to be completely Divine in nature, without any human alteration. The only Revelation in the world today that still rings good and true is the final Book of God, The Holy Quran. All other traditional Revelations were either lost in the annals of time or underwent endless manmade modifications that rendered them impractical for mankind.
Islam is a monotheistic religion; a faith in which followers admit and recognize the existence of one supreme God and being who is Almighty, All-Powerful, All-Knowledgeable, All-Loving. Islam stresses the existence of only one God. The same God of Prophet Adam, Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus, and Prophet Muhammad. Islam demonstrates the fact that, through the centuries, God has continued to bless mankind with holy Prophets who come bearing the same general message.
The message is simple: one should worship God alone without any partners, love Him with all his or her heart, and follow His commandments. God is an entity who is worthy of worship and veneration, since He is the creator of everything. No other being is worthy of worship. This has always been God's message to mankind, as conveyed through the words of Prophets and Messengers.
Prophet Moses declared to the people of Israel: "Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord" (Deuteronomy 6:4). A full 1500 years later, Prophet Jesus repeated the same message to the people of Israel: "The first of all the commandments is, 'Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord'" (Mark 12:29). Finally, 600 years later, Prophet Muhammad called out across the hills of Mecca:
"And your God is one God. There is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him, the Beneficent, the Especially Merciful" (Quran 2:163)
Throughout history, anyone who practiced monotheism by submitting to the will of God was considered a Muslim. Human beings have been practicing Islam since the creation of Prophet Adam. Throughout the ages, God sent Prophets and Messengers to guide and teach their own nations. All Prophets, furthermore, preached the same general message to their nations. They preached that one should believe in the One God and follow His laws to acquire and attain peaceful living. The Prophets preached that submitting to God would bring peace and contentment to one's heart in this world; and would be awarded the attainment of God's kingdom and grace in the next world. No other is worthy of worship; not the Sun, the Moon, nor any idol.
Contrary to popular belief, Islam is not a new religion that came into existence 1400 years ago, back in the 7th century. Islam has existed since the first moment that man set foot on the earth.
"Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam (submission to Him)"
In fact, Islam is the only religion that God ever commanded humankind to follow. Islam, therefore, is the only religion... (see blog for the rest of the article on http://www.thesincereseeker.com/what-is-islam/)..
