WHAT IS ISLAM?
Islam is not a new religion, but the same truth that God revealed through all His prophets to every people. For a fourth of the world's population, Islam is both a religion and a complete way of life. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the majority have nothing to do with the extremely grave events which have come to be associated with their faith. This is a unique religion with a name which signifies a moral attitude and a way of life. What most people fail to realize is the names of most all religions are named after people or places. For example Judaism takes its name from the tribe of Judah, Christianity from Jesus Christ, Buddhism from Gautama Buddha, Hinduism from Indus River. "Marxism" after Karl Marx,"Confucianism" after Confucius and etc. Islam is not named after a place nor does Islam take its name from a person. That is one aspect of this religion that makes it universal. The Arabic word "Islam" means peace and submission or surrender of one's will to the will of the one true God. Anyone who does indeed submit to the will of God as required by Islam is termed as Muslim.
WHO ARE THE MUSLIMS?
Over 1.6 billion people from a vast range of races, nationalities and cultures across the globe -- from the southern Philippines to Nigeria -- are united by their common Islamic faith. Less than 15% live in the Arab world; the world's largest Muslim community is in Indonesia; substantial parts of Asia and most of Africa are Muslim, while significant growth can be found in Russia, China, North and South America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. In fact Islam is the fastest growing religion in United States and the World.
WHAT DO MUSLIMS BELIEVE?
Muslims believe in One Unique, Incomparable God; in the Angels created by Him; in the prophets through whom His revelations were brought to mankind; in the Day of Judgment and individual accountability for actions; in God's complete authority over human destiny and in life after death. Muslims believe in a chain of prophets starting with Adam and including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job,Moses,Aaron, David, Solomon, Elias, Jonah, John the Baptist, and Jesus, peace be upon them. But God's final message to man, a reconfirmation of the eternal message and a summing-up of all that has gone before was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through Angel Gabriel. They all brought the same message: worship only God, and stop worshiping human beings and their ideas.
