THE ISLAMIC MESSAGE

 

The Definition of Islam: The Arabic meaning of "Islam" is submission, yielding and obedience. This religion of Islam was revealed by Prophet Muhammad who was the last prophet to be sent by God and therefore his mission was to guide all of mankind for all time since no prophet shall follow him.

A Muslim is one who bears witness to one God and the prophethood of Muhammad. Faith holds a higher position than submission (Islam). Faith is belief and action. A faithful Muslim's belief is rooted in a deep conviction and certitude toward his Creator in obeying and worship and sets the course of his life, behavior and thought based on Islam.

Islam is composed of three key elements:
  1. Doctrine ('aqidah).
    2.
  2. Obligations and social systems (legislation).
  3. Morals and inviting to good.
    4.

The divine law is defined as "a divine belief from which a complete order of life emanates."
