Bismilah.... 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 Budha, Confucianism after confucious, and Marxism after Karl Marx. Nor was it named after a tribe like judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after Hindus. Islam is the true religion of Allah and as such, its name represents the central principle of Allah's God's religion; the total submission to the will of Allah. The Arabic word islam means the submission or surrender of one's will to the only true God worthy of worship Allah and anyone who does so is termed a Muslim. The word also implies peace which is the natural consequences of total submission to the will of Allah. Hence, it was not a new religion brought by prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in arabia in the seventh century, but only the true religion of Allah re-expressed in its final form. |

Islam is the religion which was given to Adam, the first man and the first Prophet of Allah, and it was the religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind. The name of God's religion Islam was not decided upon later generations of man. It was chosen by Allah Himself and clearly mentioned in His final book of divine revelation to man. In the final book of divine revelation, the Qur'an, Allah states the followin: This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you islam as your religion.(Al maa'idah 5:3)

THE MESSAGE OF ISLAM... Since the total submission of one's will to Allah represents the essence of worship, the basic message of Allah's divine religion, Islam is the worship of Allah alone and the avoidance of worship directed to any person, place or thing other than Allah. Since everitin otha than Allah, the Creator of all things, is Allah's creation; it may b said that Islam, in essence calls man away from the worship of creation and invites him to worship only its Creator. He is the one deserving man's worship as it is only by His will that prayers are answered. If man prays to a tree and his prayers are answered, it was not the tree which answered his prayers but Allah who allowed the cir tances prayed for to take place. One might say, That is obvious, however, to tree worshippers it might not b. Similarly, prayers 2 Jesus, Buddha, or Krishna, to Saint Christopher, or saint jude or even to Muhammad, are not answered by them but are answered by Allah. Jesus did not tell his followers to worship him but to worship Allah. As the Qur'an states: And behold! Allah will say: O Jesus the son of Mary! Did you say to men, Worship me and my mother as gods besides Allah? He will say: Glory to You i could never say what i had no right (to say) Al maa'idah 5:116

Nor did he worship himself when he worshipped but rather he worshipped Allah. This basic principle is enshrined in the openin chapter of the Qur'an, known as Sura Al Fatihah verse 4: You alone do we worship and from you alone do we seek help. Elsewhere in the final book of revelation, the Qur'an, Allah also said: And your Lord says: Call on Me and I will answer your  . Sura Mu'min 40:60.
