The True Religion

Islam

The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam
is what the word "Islam" itself means. The religion of Islam is not named after a person
as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. Nor was it named
after a tribe like Judaism

A-Z of Islam

Islam is the complete submission and obedience to Allah (God). The name
Allah (God) in Islam never refers to Muhammad (pbuh), as many Christians may think;
Allah is the personal name of God.What do Muslims believe about Allah?

There is no God but Allah – A way of Life for Muslims

"La llaha illa Allah, Muhammad Rasul Allah" -"There is no god except Allah" -
is the first part of the Islamic declaration of faith, meaning that there is no one to be
worshipped except God; "Muhammad Rasul Allah" - "Muhammad is the Messenger
of God"- is the second part

Message of Peace

A major part of the Prophet’s mission was to bring peace to the world.
One of the ways in which he strove towards this end was to attempt to convince people
that all men and women, albeit inhabiting very different regions of the world, and different
from one another in color, culture and language, et cetera, were in fact blood
brothers and sisters.

Instilling Brotherhood among Muslims

Sure, Islam isn’t racist; almost any Muslim will tell you that.But Islam’s
very strong stance against racism and prejudice wasn’t just demonstrated in words and
principles: [O Mankind, We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female and
made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other.

Honesty in Financial Dealings

Islam has stressed and asserted the importance of honesty in monetary
dealings and highlighted its vital role in social stability and peacefulness. The Holy Qur’an
and Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) have made it clear to us that the true Muslim is he who
is honest and upright in his business and monetary dealing with others,
even if they weren’t Muslims.

Moral System of Islam

Islam has laid down universal fundamental rights for humanity as
a whole, which are to be observed and respected under all circumstances. To achieve
these rights Islam provides not only legal safeguards but also a very effective moral system.
Thus whatever leads to the welfare of the individual or the society

Human Rights through the Lens of Islam

Contrary to popular belief, the struggle for universal human rights is not
a modern one. Although some claim that human rights is a Western concept or ideology (1),
Islam was among the first institutions to advocate and implement such human rights
as universal equality and women's rights.

Sword of islam

The first few who embraced the "new" religion in Makkah in the Arabian
Peninsula at the hands of the Prophet were his wife Khadijah, his servant Zaid, and his
eleven year old cousin Ali. Among the ones who later joined this faith were the honest
merchant, Abu Bakr; the iron man of Arabia, Umar the Great; the shy businessman, Uthman;
the Prophet's brave uncle, Hamza: and the slave of a pagan, Bilal. They simply
couldn't resist the “MAGIC SWORD” of a humble and lonely Prophet!

What does Islam say about Terrorism?!

Islam, a religion of mercy, does not permit terrorism. In the Koran, God has said
"God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who
have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes.
God loves just dealers" [Koran 60:8]
