The Truth About Islam

Islam means “submission to the Will of God.” In Its ethical sense Islam signifies “striving after the ideal” A Muslim is one who submits to the Will of God."Islam” and “Muslim” derive from the same word as the Arabic for “peace.” The traditional Muslim greeting is “Peace be unto you.”

Islam offers  hope for salvation to the righteous and God-fearing of all religions. Muslims believe in the Devine Revelations of many prophets including Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, but do not believe that God assumed human form. The Quran, Muslims believe, is God’s Word and Final Revelation to the Prophet Muhammad. Revealed over a period of twenty-three years, The Quran was  compiled and disturbed to distant lands within twenty-five years of The Prophet’s death in 632 A.D. This is the only Quran recognized by Muslims.

Comprising laws, moral precepts, and narratives, The Quran’s timeless text remains an inspiration and guide for more than one fifth of humanity.Together with The Ouran,the epitome of Classical Arabic ,Muslims lives are guided by the examples and sayings of The Prophet. Thousands of saying have been attributed to The Prophet’s death in 632 A.D. This is the only Quran recognized by Muslims.
