About Islam: It
is the way of life for those who believe in God and
want to live a life in worship and obedience to none
but God. The reward is forgiveness from God and an
everlasting life in the Heaven.
Belief in one God, Allah in Arabic, constitutes
the very foundation of Islam. There is no deity except
Allah. He is indivisible and absolutely transcendent.
God is the Almighty, the Creator and the Sustainer of
the universe, Who is similar to nothing and nothing is
comparable to Him. Worship and obedience belongs to
Allah and Allah alone. Joining other gods with God is
an unforgivable sin. Any one who joins other gods with
God has strayed far, far away from the Truth.
Prophet Muhammad
was born in Makkah, a city in the present-day Saudi
Arabia in 570 C.E. He is a direct descendant of
Prophet Ishmael, the first son of Prophet Abraham.
Peace and blessings of God be on all His prophets.
Muhammad received divine revelations (The Holy Quran)
over a period of 23 years in the seventh century of
the Christian Era. Muslims believe that he is the last
Messenger sent by God for the guidance of mankind
until the Day of Judgment. He is the model for
humanity of all walks of life to follow until the Last
Hour. God sent him as a mercy for the worlds.
The primary sources of knowledge are the Holy Quran
and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad. Anyone wanting
to live a life in worship and obedience to God should
follow these teachings.
The Holy Quran (also
written as Koran) is the Divine Book revealed
to Muhammad (peace be on him). The Holy Quran confirms
what was revealed to earlier messengers of God and
serves as the Criterion of right and wrong. The Quran
is the only divine Book extant in its original text
and is therefore the only source of Guidance from God
for all mankind.
The Sunnah
of the Prophet Muhammad
refers to his sayings and actions, his approvals and
disapprovals. The Sunnah is collected in books
separate from the Holy Quran and are known as Hadith
books. While the Holy Quran is 100% word of God
revealed to the Prophet, not every Hadith is
authentic. Early Muslim scholars have classified
hadith into various categories ranging from different
levels of authenticity to false hadith.
أعلم أن مثال القلب مثال الحصن، والشيطان
عدو يريد أن يدخل الحصن فيملكه ويستولي
عليه، و لا يقدر على حفظ الحصن من العدو
إلا بحراسة أبواب الحصن ومداخله، ومواضع
ثلمه، ولا يقدر على حراسة أبوابه من لا يدري أبوابه..
