Islam, is an Arabic word
comes from the root verb of (SLM) which means peace and submission. Hence
Islam really means for one to achieve peace through the submission to God.
Islam is not a new religion. It is the same truth that God revealed to all
His prophets throughout history. Islam is both a religion and a complete way
of life. A way of life symbolized and encompassed by peace.
Peace with God, peace within one self, and peace with all the creation of
God.
"Say, we believe in God, and that which was revealed unto us, and
that which was revealed unto Abraham and
lshmael and Isaac and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which was vouchsafed
unto Moses and Jesus and the
prophets from their Lord; We make no distinction between any of them, and
unto Him we have surrendered"
(The Holy Qur'an 3:84)
In the Name of Allah,
the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns
and all that exists).
The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the
Day of Resurrection).
You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).
Guide us to the Straight Way.
The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those
who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray.
