TAWHEED

Islam is not the religion of killers and terroist its the true religion of humankind, nature all creatures seen and unseen. Islam is by name the religion of those who seek peace and success through obedience and submission to the will of Allah. IslamThere is no god but The One True God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of The One True God

Islam is a monotheistic religion (belief in only One True God, called Allah in Arabic). Although this belief has been around among humans since the first humans (Adam & Eve), it was first proclaimed in its present form by the prophet Abraham (Ibraaheem) -- may peace be upon him. Throughout history this religion has been re-affirmed by God through different prophets and messengers among all people of the earth. Among some of the other messengers are Jesus Christ (Issaa MaseeH), Moses (Moosa), Aron (Haroon), and the very last Muhammad (may peace be upon all of them). Muhammad is the last of all the prophets and messengers in that there is no other prophet or messenger separating him from the end of the universe and the establishment of the Day of Judgement.

Why send many messengers to earth? There were three reasons: first, different messengers were sent to different people so that all people would get the message of the Oneness of God Almighty. Second, the message was distorted through time, so it needed to be refreshed and re-affirmed time and again. Third, different people in different times needed guidance in different spheres of life. The message given to Muhammad, however, is comprehensive. It includes guidance for all people until the Big End. It is guaranteed against corruption or distortion by God Almighty himself. Fourteen hundred years have passed since its revelation, but this message is still present in its original form, and it can be found all over the world. It is called the Qur'An.

As preached through Muhammad, Islam is not only a religion, but it is a complete way of life. It includes recommendations and preferred ways for almost everything we do in life. There are a few prohibitions also, declared for the good of the society by Allah. No one but Allah has the right to declare anything as prohibited. As one scholar noted, the difference between the lawful and the prohibited in Islam is that the prohibited things are the few things that have been named as such; and the lawful things consist of everything else.

On the contray, 1400 years ago Islam libertated women. At that time in Europe, Christian sholars were debating whether women had souls, if yes, did they have animal souls or human souls?In Islam, women are equal to men in all acts of piety, they keep thier last names, they are allowed to keep their own money, choose who they want to marry, have the right to divorce.They have been dignified and exonerated by the hijab(covering islam).In Islam women have been elevated to a stature that surpasses the roles placed upon them by any religion or culture. Women are not to be abused or oppossed but they are to respected and cared for. As a result, Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world among women. BACK
