Introduction to Islam

What you come across in the dictionary is that "Islam" represents much more than a word; thus, it is synonymous with respect, humility, and obeying without any dissent. It is all about commitment by which people attend only Allah services understanding His teachings and they are able to remain faithful to him. The term "Islam" as a word implies more than vocabulary; it's reflects the religion or faith of Prophet Muhammad that S.A.W. It's the name by which He was known during His life and after His death. It represents a lifestyle that lost all its control in the hands of Allah and that reverted to adopting his direction and obeying his order and prohibitions. It reflects the acknowledging of Allah's wisdom and sovereignty, where wholeness and steadfastness also called for.

Who is Allah(SWT)?

The word ‘Allah’ comes from the Arabic “Al-Ilaah” Which means ‘The God’. “Ilaah” is an Arabic word that means God. There is none worthy of worship but He, and to Him belong the most beautiful names and sublime attributes. He is the One Who gives life and death, and nothing on earth or in heaven is hidden from Him. Allah, it is He Who has made for you the earth as a dwelling place and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shape and made your shapes good (looking) and has provided you with good things. That is Allaah, your Lord, so Blessed be Allaah, the Lord of the ‘Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists) And He gave you of all that you asked for, and if you count the Blessings of Allaah, never will you be able to count them

Who is Prophet Muhammad(PBUH)?

Prophet Muhammad was the name given to the Prophet of God when he was born in Mecca on 8th September, 570 AD. The meaning of his name was that he is highly esteemed by God. His father died before he was born, and after he was born, Haleemah al-Sa’diyyah nursed him. When he was six years old, he visited his maternal uncles in Madinah with his mother Aminah bint Wahb. On the way back to Makkah, his mother died in al-Abwa. Then his grandfather ‘Abd al-Muttalib became his guardian. But ‘Abd al-Muttalib died when Muhammad was eight years old. Then his paternal uncle Abu Talib became his guardian. He took care of him, treated him kindly and defended him for more than forty years, but when Abu Talib died he had not come to believe in the religion of Muhammad lest he be reproached by Quraysh for abandoning the religion of his forefathers Allah sent all the Prophets and Messengers to call for the worship of Allah alone, and to bring people from darkness to light. The first of these Messengers was Nuh and the last of them was Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
