Meaning of Islam

Published by fayeeh at 9:42 am under Islam Edit This

     Islam is derived from the word Salaam means Peace.   It also means Submission to the will of Allah (swt) i.e. the God Almighty.  When you say Muslim, It is the one who submits his will to Allah.  Therefore, Islam is not a new religion found by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

 

     Muslims accept the Qur’an, as the word of God revealed to His last and final prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him). Islam states that Allah sent messengers and prophets throughout the ages with the message of Unity of God, and accountability in the Hereafter. Islam thus makes it an article of faith to believe in all the earlier prophets, starting with Adam, and continuing with Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, John and Jesus amongst many others (may peace be on them all).
