What is Islam? 1 of 7

This video presentation was made by my Brother Mustafa-Abu Abdullah, May Allah (SWT) reward him for his efforts.

The word "Islam" itself means "Submission to Allah (God)." The religion of Islam is not named after a person, place or tribe but rather it has a literal definition. The word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's will to the will of the only true god worthy of worship, "Allah" (God). Anyone who does indeed submit to the will of Allah (God) as required by Islam is termed a "Muslim," which means one who has submitted to the will of Allah (God).

Islam is a purely monotheistic religion. The belief in unity in the (1) Lordship, (2) Worship, (3) Names and Attributes of the one and only creator of the Heavens and The Earth constitutes the monotheism of Islam.
(1) Muslims believe that Allah (God) is the true and complete owner of all things, ie: the only Creator who is the true and complete Owner and Sustainer of all things.
2: Allah (God) is the only deity who has the right to be worshiped.
3. Allah (God) has the most beautiful Names and Attributes (99) which are unique to Him and none else. Eg: Al-Awwal (The First), Al-'Alim (The Knower of All), As-Sami (The Hearer of All), Al-Basir (The Seer of All)

The unique aspect about Islam and the reason why many people turn to Islam is that it makes perfect sense and has proof, 100% proof that Islam is the truth. There are many Ayats (signs/revelations/verses) in the Quran that speak about the natural world and other phenomena in great detail which testifies Islams divine origin. This can be said as this knowledge was unheard of until recently due to the advancement of scientific instrumentation and technologies.
