| The
literal meaning of Islam is peace; surrender of
one’s will i.e. losing oneself for the sake of God
and surrendering one’s own pleasure for the pleasure
of God. The message of Islam was revealed to the
Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings on him)
1, 400 years ago. It was revealed through angel
Gabriel (on whom be peace) and was thus preserved in
the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran carries a Divine
guarantee of safeguard from interpolation and it
claims that it combines the best features of the
earlier scriptures. |
|
|
| The
prime message of Islam is the Unity of God, that the
Creator of the world is One and He alone is worthy
of worship and that Muhammad (peace and blessings on
him) is His Messenger and Servant. The follower of
this belief is thus a Muslim - a Muslim’s other
beliefs are: God’s angels, previously revealed Books
of God, all the prophets, from Adam to Jesus (peace
be on them both), the Day of Judgement and indeed
the Decree of God. A Muslim has five main duties to
perform, namely; bearing witness to the Unity of God
and Muhammad (peace and blessings on him) as His
Messenger, observing the prescribed prayer, payment
of Zakat, keeping the fasts of Ramadhan and
performing the pilgrimage to Mecca. |

| Islam
believes that each person is born pure. The Holy
Quran tells us that God has given human beings a
choice between good and evil and to seek God’s
pleasure through faith, prayer and charity. Islam
believes that God created mankind in His image and
by imbuing the attributes of God on a human level
mankind can attain His nearness. Islam’s main
message is to worship God and to treat all God’s
creation with kindness and compassion. Rights of
parents in old age, orphans and the needy are
clearly stated. Women’s rights were safeguarded
1,400 years ago when the rest of the world was in
total darkness about emancipation. Islamic teachings
encompass every imaginable situation and its rules
and principles are truly universal and have stood
the test of time. |

| In
Islam virtue does not connote forsaking the bounties
of nature that are lawful. On the contrary one is
encouraged to lead a healthy, active life with the
qualities of kindness, chastity, honesty, mercy,
courage patience and politeness. In short, Islam has
a perfect and complete code for the guidance of
individuals and communities alike. As the entire
message of Islam is derived from the Holy Quran and
indeed the Sunnah and Hadith (the traditions and
practices of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings
on him) it is immutable in the face of change in
time and place. It may appear rigid to the casual
eye, in actual fact it is most certainly an
adaptable way of life regardless of human changes.

|
| Islam
teaches that the path to spiritual development is
open to all. Any individual who searches the One
Creator can seek nearness to God through sincere and
earnest worship; it is central to establishing a
relationship with the Almighty. This positive
message for humanity fills hearts with hope and
courage. |
|
|
| At
present there are 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide and
they form the majority in more than 50 countries of
the world. Today Islam is the fastest growing faith
in the world - its beautiful message is reaching
millions in the far corner of the earth.
