BRIEF AND CONCISE EXPLANATION of ISLAM
Islam is submission and surrender to the will and command of God; Allah.
It is peace with creation whomsover and whatsoever .Tranquility in the heart thanks to the qur'an (the holy book of muslims) ; a healing and medcine when heard. Sincerity ; no showing off or arrogance. and the freeing of oneself of paganism and idol worshipping.
Islam is the Only religion that is Not named after a person or a tribe or a group,
its name means submission to the One True God , also Islam is the only religion in which we worship the One true the most loving and the most merciful God ( as Uniquely One, Eternal, in no need of anyone or thing, Has no son , no parents and no partners, Nothing is comparable to GOD ) The word 'Allah' is the proper name of God in Arabic. It is a unique term because it has no plural. Prophet Moses called God name as Eloha In Hebrew and Prophet Jesus Called GOD name as Alaha in Arahmic Prophet Muhammad called GOD name as Allah in Arabic.
///There are five pillars of practice in Islam.
These practices must
be undertaken with the best of effort in order to be considered a true
Muslim:
1) Shahadah - declaration of faith in the oneness of God to say that there is no God to worship except Allah andthat Muhammad is the last prophet of God.
2) Formal obligatory prayers; five timesa day.
3) Fasting during the daylight hours in the month of Ramadan.
4) Poor-due "tax" - 2.5% of one's savings given to the needy at the
end of each year after you have ‘’nisab’’ meaning 2 million or 85 grammes of gold on condition that the year revolves and you still store it.
(the amount (nisab) or Zakah Today’s Nisab £ Today’s gold Nisab is £2150.61 based on the gold price of £24.58 per gram Today’s silver Nisab is £194.85 based on the silver price of £0.32 per gram)
5) Pilgrimage to Mecca at least once, if physically
and financially able.
///There are six pillars of faith in Islam. These are the basic
beliefs that one must have in order to be considered a true Muslim.
They are belief in:
A) the One God and only without partners. B) all the prophets of God. C) the
original scriptures revealed to Prophets Moses, David, Jesus, and
Muhammad. D) the angels; noble creations of God. E) the Day of Judgment and the Hereafter. On which Allah will bring back aaaaalll ppl and judge them according to their deeds F)
the divine decree (or destiny). It is predestination Allah has knowledge of that exists from prehistory to the day of ressurrection and even something doesn’t exist He knows it
///He is a 1. know all and 2. All powerful 3. Nothing happens without his will and thus 4. Wrote all what happens in a book but didn’t oblige us to do our deeds but gave us the mind on which he’ll judge us..
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
However the one and only message in Islam is worshipping Allah God alone without associating partners with Him in His Oness of Lordship
- //// (first category of monotheism) : deeds and actions that come down from Allah : He created us alone He sends down rain provision … no one else. He has control over this universe and nothing is hid from Him. He’s the master and the the almighty.
All ppl have this Oness in their hearts for example the pagans in Prophet Muhammed era believed in it
Quran says about them And if you should ask them, “Who has created the heavens and the earth?” they would surely say, “They were created by the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.”
Thus since He created us alone this first section of monotheism in Islam requires from a muslim to believe in the second one which is oness of Godship:
2. ///// The 2nd section of monotheism which is (Oness of Godship)
the meaning is since He created us alone we should be thankful to him and worship Him alone with our deeds and actions : we should worship Him with our prayers slaughtering of animals all other worship is for him alone and only. including also supplications etc ::: in other words we should worship Allah by all our deeds.
3. ///// The third part or category is Oness of Names and Attributes
The scholars of ‘‘Ahl us Sunnah wal Jamaa`ah’’say that the correct faith in Allaah's attributes means believing in them without denying them or their meanings (ta`teel),
without interpreting them and changing their meanings (tahreef),
without explaining how they are (takyeef)
or likening Allaah's attributes to those of the creation (tamtheel).
The consensus of the predecessors and leaders of this Ummah follow this creed of course even though many sects deviated in understanding the names and attributes of Allah
Thus, Imam Malik answered a man when he asked him about how does God rises over his thrown !!??
He said :’Istiwa (elevation) is not unknown, and its how [manner] is not conceivable To ask the question about this topic is an innovation, and to believe in it is an obligation; and I believe you are among the [bad] innovators” and he had him taken out” because he tried to blaspheme Gods Names
therefore we believe that Allah or God has 99 beautiful names and more and has almighty and high attributes that are above measure, beyond our imagination, unconceivable and uncomparables with His creations’. God pleases displeases has sight but not eyes like us has hearing but not ears like us. What we know from prophetic sayings that are preserved like the qur’an that God has eyes face leg foot. However whatever comes to your mind he’s unlike it as he said in the Qur’an; Nothing is like Him but he’s all seeing all hearing
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Concerning the Qur’an;
The qur'an contains accurately scientifically proven facts about modern sciences. and imagine a bedouin man in the middle of the sahara without any technology speaks about nuclear physics and the big ben as said by alfred kroner physicist
Doesn't this sound amazing? Bearing in mind that the bible contradicts modern science 100% and copernico and galileo were killed for this purpose b/c they said the globe is smaller than the stars thus they were presecuted!!!
Also 11 million around the world arabs and non arabs memorise it/ as it's easy to grasp and understand next its eloquence and language style is matchless throughout history as confessed by great thinkers of the west
Allah even defied the whole mankind to come up with a verse like it but even the most eloquent ppl maybe of all time couldn't do so
Moreover, this book is a spiritual healing and a medcine for the hearts as Allah says ‘’It is only with the remembrance of Allah that the hearts feel at ease’’
just listen to this chapter of Joseph from the Qur’an and make sure yourself
It is also actually a complete way of life that governs all facets of life: moral, spiritual, social, political, economical, intellectual The Holy Qur'an has no flaws or contradictions. The original Arabic scriptures have never been changed or tampered with.
Concerning salat or islamic prayers
scientifically speaking when we prostrate our forhead we discharge the magnetic rays minus to the plus ones in the ground. those rays especially electric fotons cause stress and tension to the human body. so that's why after salat a muslim feels really happy released and at ease however a true salat is the one that avoids us from committing sins with creator and creation
it’s as if one is off line without it and u need load wifi or bundle to charge ur heart with this enlightened faith.
in a nutshell, islam is not about rules and regulations even some are menditory, yet it’s about manners and behaviour with ppl
a true musli mis the one who helps the poor and needy, who sustains and coopperates with everyone, who is a good example among his friends relatives and neighbours,
prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said; the best among you is he who treats his wife good
a musli mis actually a sunshine for the deviated ppl a model to follow among community
