Religion Islam teaches humanity how to act in every aspect of life, going to great lengths: moral, social, ethical, global, material, cultural, political, economic and legal aspects of an individual's life.

Muslims hold the belief that Islam is God's revealed true religion. It is a religion that applies to everyone and can be followed at any moment and in any place. This way of life is based on total submission to God.

Even though Islam's origins go back further, most scholars place its founding in the seventh century, making it the oldest major religion in the world. During the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad's, Islam began in Mecca, today known as Saudi Arabia. The faith is growing quickly around the world right now.

Who is Muslim?

Muslims are people who follow Islam. Anybody who put forward their will to the one and only true "Allah," who is deserving of worship, is a Muslim. Muslims practice monotheism and adore a single, all-knowing God who is referred to in Arabic as Allah. Muslims hold the belief that Allah's law was imparted by a number of Prophets. A Muslim also holds the belief that the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) is the last prophet of Allah. According to teachings of Islam, angel Gabriel revealed Allah's word to the last Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). Obedience to Allah's commands is the path to peace for a Muslim who submits to him and worships Allah. The natural outcome of submitting to Allah's will is peace. Muslims hold their religious services in mosques.

To accept Islam as their religion and become a Muslim, a person must believe and say the following :

LA ILAHA ILLALLAH, MUHAMMADAR RASULULLAH,

 لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله

This phrase literally translates to "There is no God except Allah and Muhammad (S.A.W) is His last messenger." Except Allah there is no one deserving of worship, and Muhammad is His messenger" is another meaning of the sentence. A person becomes a Muslim as soon as they say this phrase and begin to act on it.

Who is Allah?

In the Holy Quran it is mentioned numerous times, God Almighty has given Himself the name Allah. Allah is referred as the Lord of the whole world by Qur’an he has no personalized names, other than is 99 traditional names.

Say: He is the one; Allah, the Eternal; He did not (give birth) and He was not (given birth to); and there will never ever anyone equal to Him. (Chapter 112, Verses 1 - 4 of the Qur’an)

Allah has no partners in divinity is the belief of Muslims, including that he have no son, and that in this universe nothing equal to His glory. Muslims hold the belief that Allah is only the creator and maintainer of this universe, as well as that he originated human beings to solely worship Him. Allah is only the lord of the Day of Judgment, when the believers of Islam will be dispatched for their rewards in heaven, and the unbelievers, will be sent to hellfire. To worship anyone other than Allah, is considered a grave sin. Good will in this world and the paradise in the next world are the award of worshiping Him alone and walking in his way.

Truly, Allah will acknowledge those who believe and carry out good actions to Gardens in Paradise beneath rivers, where they will be adorned with gold and pearl bracelets and dressed in silk. (Chapter 22, Verse 23 of the Qur'an)
