'ISLAM'
is Surrender, Submission, Obey in Sincerity to . .
ALLAH
'ISLAM' means to: surrender, submit, obey, in sincerely for Allah (Almighty God). 'ISLAM' comes from Arabic root letters: S. L. M.
'ISLAM' means surrendering ourselves sincerely to Allah, trusting Him, obeying His guidance, and staying away from worshiping anything, or anyone else.
Anyone who follows 'ISLAM' is called a Mu-Slim. A Muslim is someone trying to surrender their heart, actions, and life to Almighty Allah.
The message of 'ISLAM' is complete and balanced. The Muslims are not perfect. They make mistakes, like everybody else.
Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad ﷺ,
all called people to worship Allah alone and live with truth and justice.
'ISLAM' CALLS
'ISLAM' CALLS for life, CALLS for justice, CALLS for patience, CALLS for self-control, CALLS for forgiveness, CALLS for fairness - even to ones we dislike.
The same message Almighty God gave to all the prophets from the start.
The Quran (reciting) describes this as the path Allah chose for all humanity.
'ISLAM' shapes belief, prayer, character, family life, society, and how we deal with others. It is not only rituals. It is a way of living to give meaning and direction.
'ISLAM' is all about finding peace with Allah, peace inside oneself, and dealing fairly and kindly with others.
Real peace comes when we come to Allah
and willingly surrender in sincerity to Him.
