What Is The Name Of This Religion? Dawah #6

"The Religion before ALLAH is ISLAM (submission to His Will): Nor did the People of the Book dissent there from except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the signs of Allah, Allah is swift in calling to account."

Surah Al-Imran, 3:19

"Not for (idle) sport did We Create the Heavens and the Earth and all that is between."

Islam in Arabic word which means Peace and submission.

• Is achieving peace by submitting to One God (Allah), the creator of everything.
• Is a complete way of life. It is guidance provided by Allah. The creator of the universe for all mankind. It covers all the things people do in their-lifetime.

Islam is the religion of all Muslim:

a. Which means submission to the will of Allah and obedience of Allah laws.
    The founder of Islam is no other than Allah and the date of the founding of Islam goes back to the age of Adam.

"This day I perfected your religion other than Islam (Submission to God). Never will be accepted of Him! and in the hereafter he will be the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good)"

What Is Jihad?

Jihad - Is to fight back, (i.e. striving for Allah's Cause) with one's wealth and one's soul is a sign of loving Allah and His Apostle. Fight back- for me, means to take the form of controlling oneself and one's desire, so that one avoids what is prohibited by Allah. 

Praise be to Allah (SWT) who has ordained "Al-Jihad" (Fighting for Allah's Cause)

1. With the heart (intentions or feelings),
2. With the hand (weapons etc.)
3. With the tongue (speeches etc., in the cause of Allah) and has rewarded the one who performs it with the high rooms in the gardens (of Paradise).

Who is the Muslim?

"Our Lord! make us Muslim, bowing to Thy (will), and of our progeny a people Muslim, bowing to Thy (will).

Muslim - Those who follow Islam

Says in the Holy Quran:

"Our Lord! make of us Muslim, bowing to They (will), and of our progeny a people Muslim, bowing to Thy (will), and show us our places for the celebration of (due) rites; and turn unto us (in Mercy): Thou art the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful."

"Our Lord! send among them an Apostle of their own, who shall rehearse Thy Signs to them And instruct them in Scripture and Wisdom, and sanctify them: for Thou art the Exalted in Might, The Wise."

"And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase their souls with folly? Him we choose and rendered pure in this world: and he will be in the Hereafter in the ranks of the righteous."

Behold! his Lord said to him: "Bow (thy will to Me)" he said:

"I bow (my will) to the Lord and Cherisher of the Universe."

And this was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons, and so did Jacob:

"O my sons! Allah hath chosen the Faith for you; then die not except in the Faith of Islam."

Were ye witnesses, when Death appeared before Jacob? 

Behold, he said to his sons: "What will ye worship after me?

They said: "We shall worship they Allah and the Allah of thy fathers, of Abraham, Ismail, and Isaac, the ONE (True) Allah. To Him we bow (in Islam)."

That was a People that hath passed away. They shall reap the fruit of what they did, and yet of what ye do! of their merits there is no question in your case!

They say: 

"Become Jews or Christian if ye would be guided (to Salvation), "Say thou:"

Nay! (I would rather follow) the Religion of Abraham the True, and he joined not gods with Allah."

Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelations given to us and to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus and that given to (all) Prophets from their Lord: we make no difference between one and another of them: and we bow to Allah (in Islam)."

So if they believe and ye believe, they are indeed on the right path; but if they turn back, it is they who are in schism; but Allah will suffice thee as against them, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

(Our religion is) the Baptism of Allah: and who can baptize better than Allah? and it is He whom we worship.

Say: will ye dispute with us about Allah, seeing that He is our Lord and your Lord; that we responsible for our doings and ye for yours; and that we are sincere (in our faith) in Him?

Or do ye say that Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob,and the Tribes were Jews or Christian? 

Say: Do ye know better than Allah?

Ah! who is more unjust than those who conceal the testimony they have from Allah? but Allah is not unmindful of what ye do!

Sura Al Baqarah, 2:128-140

Why Islam also means Peace?

Submission and Obedience to Allah bring peace. That is why Islam also means Peace.
To begin to understand Islam. We start with our life around us.

In Islam, Life has a creator purpose:
The creator is Allah (SWT) who created us and everything around us and gave us life on earth as a transitory stage in which we are tested before moving on to eternal life.

Our condition in that eternal life is determined be the result of the test in this transitory life.

The Day of Judgement is the Day on which this determination is made.
Now, if the creator created life as a test for us, we should expect guidance from Him on how to succeed in the test.

In Islam, we believe that this guidance was sent to humanity throughout history through prophets including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and finally Prophet Muhammad (PBUTA).

We believe that all of them preached the same message; the message of Islam or (submission of our will to Allah). We make no distinction between the prophets.

The claim of prophet hood was required because as time elapsed, the teaching of a prophet would be distorted, and people would divert from the straight path.

At such time, Allah (SWT) would send another prophet to correct the message, and in some cases add more details.

With the mercy of Allah (SWT) prophets were given miracles to help people accept them.

For Muslim, the Quran is their constitution, and the practice and saying of the prophet (Sunnah) are the interpretation and explanation of the constitution.

Our life is a test, and we should live it according to Allah guidance (revealed in the Quran and explanation by our Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) over a period of 23 years).

Everything we in life is recorded in a book until we die. Then, after death, we will be resurrected on the Day of Judgement, where we will receive the book that contain our deeds and we will judged according to those deeds.

Those who did good deeds will be granted heavens and those who did bad deeds will go to FIRE, except for those who Allah grants mercy and forgiveness.

In summary, Muslim must live this life according to Allah's guidance in order to be successful. For the Muslims, this guidance comes from two sources:

1. The Holy Quran, and
2. The Sunnah, the teaching of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Allah (SWT) guaranteed to preserve his message the Quran, and the Sunnah, until the Day of judgement.

The Quran says:

"We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption."

Sura Al-Hijr, 15:9

What is your religion?

My religion is Islam.

Which means is submission and obedience to the order of Allah (SWT) and His Messenger with love, hope, and fear.

The Qur'an say's:
"O you who believe respond to God and His apostle when he calls you so that which will give you life".
Sura Anfal, 8:24

Asslam walaikum brother and sister in Islam, to all readers, followers,
To all my relatives and the one I love most may Allah (SWT)
Guide to all of you to the right path. Ameen.

In Islam, we Muslim have no right to force any relatives to join or
Accept our religion. Only! our job is to deliver or preach the truth that will
Benefit their own soul. If they accept it! Alhamdullilah! they are one
Of those guided by ALLAH (SWT). And their reward is PARADISE.
That is the promise of ALLAH (SWT) not only to our
Prophet Mohammad, it start from the previous Prophet from
Adam (AW), Abraham, Noah, Moses and to the last
Prophet Mohammad (may peace and blessing to all of them).
Their preaching is the same to believe in ONE GOD (oneness of God).
To Praise and Glorify Him morning and evening.
Every Prophets have their own books.
Prophet Muhammad book which is the "Holy Qur'an"

Allah the Almighty said:

"And I (Allah) created not the Jinns and men except they 
Should worship me (Alone)." 
[Surah Al-Dhariyat, 51:56]

The Prophet (SAW) said:

"Mankind's duty to Allah is to worship Him Alone, and not
To associate partners to Him in anything."
[Al-Bukhari, and Muslim]

"The worshiper's right on Allah is that He will not
Punish those who worship none besides Him."
[Al-Bukhari, and Muslim]

We Muslim our duty to Allah is to worship Him Alone,
No partner at all, how about you? if your wife or husband
Have another partner, what do you feel?

Allah (SWT) never accept anyone to His Kingdom, whoever
Believe other than Him or associate to anyone, never be forgiven
By Allah (SWT) his/her end is Hell Fire.

say: (O Mohammad)

"Verily my Salat (prayer), my Sacrifice, my Living ,
And my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the 
Alamin (mankind, jinns, and all that exists)."
No partner hath He: This am I commanded,
And I am the first of those who bow to His will.
[Surah Al-Ana'am, 6:162-163]

I love to enclose the song for Allah (SWT)

Note: the picture above are collected from other Muslim file.

May Allah bless and reward them all. Ameen.
