All praise be to Allah and peace be upon His messenger,Muhammad
Islam
The True Religion
The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam
is what the word "Islam" itself means. The religion of Islam is not named after a person
as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. Nor was it named
after a tribe like Judaism
A-Z of Islam
Islam is the complete submission and obedience to Allah (God). The name
Allah (God) in Islam never refers to Muhammad (pbuh), as many Christians may think;
Allah is the personal name of God.What do Muslims believe about Allah?
There is no God but Allah – A way of Life for Muslims
"La llaha illa Allah, Muhammad Rasul Allah" -"There is no god except Allah" -
is the first part of the Islamic declaration of faith, meaning that there is no one to be
worshipped except God; "Muhammad Rasul Allah" - "Muhammad is the Messenger
of God"- is the second part
Message of Peace
A major part of the Prophet’s mission was to bring peace to the world.
One of the ways in which he strove towards this end was to attempt to convince people
that all men and women, albeit inhabiting very different regions of the world, and different
from one another in color, culture and language, et cetera, were in fact blood
brothers and sisters.
Instilling Brotherhood among Muslims
Sure, Islam isn’t racist; almost any Muslim will tell you that.But Islam’s
very strong stance against racism and prejudice wasn’t just demonstrated in words and
principles: [O Mankind, We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female and
made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other.
Honesty in Financial Dealings
Islam has stressed and asserted the importance of honesty in monetary
dealings and highlighted its vital role in social stability and peacefulness. The Holy Qur’an
and Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) have made it clear to us that the true Muslim is he who
is honest and upright in his business and monetary dealing with others,
even if they weren’t Muslims.
Moral System of Islam
Islam has laid down universal fundamental rights for humanity as
a whole, which are to be observed and respected under all circumstances. To achieve
these rights Islam provides not only legal safeguards but also a very effective moral system.
Thus whatever leads to the welfare of the individual or the society
Human Rights through the Lens of Islam
Contrary to popular belief, the struggle for universal human rights is not
a modern one. Although some claim that human rights is a Western concept or ideology (1),
Islam was among the first institutions to advocate and implement such human rights
as universal equality and women's rights.
Sword of islam
The first few who embraced the "new" religion in Makkah in the Arabian
Peninsula at the hands of the Prophet were his wife Khadijah, his servant Zaid, and his
eleven year old cousin Ali. Among the ones who later joined this faith were the honest
merchant, Abu Bakr; the iron man of Arabia, Umar the Great; the shy businessman, Uthman;
the Prophet's brave uncle, Hamza: and the slave of a pagan, Bilal. They simply
couldn't resist the “MAGIC SWORD” of a humble and lonely Prophet!
What does Islam say about Terrorism?!
Islam, a religion of mercy, does not permit terrorism. In the Koran, God has said
"God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who
have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes.
God loves just dealers" [Koran 60:8]
Our Prophet
Here is a summary of the birth of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
Muhammad(PBUH) was born in Makkah, Arabia, on Monday,12 Rabi Al Awwal
His mother, Aminah was the daughter of Wahhab ibn Abdul Manaf of the Zahrah family
. His father,Abdullah, was the son of Abdul-Muttalib. His genealogy has been traced to
be the noble house of Isma'il(PBUH), the son of Ibraheem (Abraham) (PBUH) in
about the fortieth descent.
Muhammad's father had died before his birth and his mother died when
he was about six years old making him an orphan.
In accordance with the tradition of noble families of Makkah, he was taken
by foster mother, Halimah, to her village where he lived for a few years. During these
years he was taken to Makkah several times to visit his mother.After the death of his mother
,he was placed under the custody of his grandfather, Abdul-Muttalib. When the grandfather
died, he was under the care of his uncle, AbuTalib. By this time he used to look after sheep around Makkah and used to accompany his uncle on trade journeys to Syria
The Coming of the Most Noble Messenger
With eyes as bright as the shining sun, a reality on the lips more brilliant
than the light of the sun, a heart more fresh than the flowers of the gardens of Yathrib
and Taif, habits and morals more decent than the moon- lit nights of the Hijaz
Allah's Messenger to the Whole Mankind
Prophet Muhammad ® (Salallahu ‘alayhi wa salam, meaning: May the
peace and blessings of Allah I be upon him) was Allâh's great Prophet and Messenger
like Jesus, the Son of Mary. The Prophet's mission, however, is universal. Allâh (I)
(Subhanahu wa ta’ala, meaning: the Exalted, Most Glorious) tells mankind that
Prophet Muhammad ® is no more than a Messenger
Legacy of a Prophet
Fourteen hundred years ago, a humble merchant who could not read or
write changed the face of Arabia. Today, his influence has spread to every corner
of the world including the United States
The Best of Creation
The life of the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) has
been said by his wife, Aisha (May Allah (S) be pleased with her) to be like "a walking
Qur`an", embodying the Laws of Almighty Allah (subhaana wa taalah).
The Prophet's Teachings
There is a large collection of the Prophet's ideas, thoughts, instructions,
teachings, beliefs, morals, manners and principles. The greatness and glory of Islam
rests upon these ideals. Only a portion of them are listed here.
Purity of Self
1. Wise is he who regards himself small, and performs deeds that are useful
after death; foolish is he who is controlled by his desires and expectant of Allah's
grace and mercy.
2. The strong man is he who controls himself, not the one who throws down his adversary.
3. Contentment is treasure that is never empty.
4. To give up the unimportant is highly religious.
5. Advice is a trust and wrong instruction is a breach of trust.
6. To give up evil or wickedness is also a charity.
7. Modesty is a branch of faith.
8. Health and comforts are blessings not available to all.
9. Moderation in spending is equal to half of one's income. (Spending with sense
is as good as half of one's income).
10. Careful thinking is wisdom.
11. The one who keeps promises is righteous.
12. Wisdom is the greatest wealth.
13. Good speech is the charm of man.
14. Ignorance is the greatest limitation.
15. One who is trustworthy is righteous.
16. Love is not as effective as good manners.
17. Humility elevates one's position.
18. Alms-giving does not lead to decrease of wealth.
19. Don't mock at your brother or you might meet the same situation.
20. Bad manners spoil good qualities as vinegar spoils honey.
Obedience to Parents
1. Allah is pleased when the father is pleased. Allah is displeased when the
father is displeased.
2. Of all the deeds performed, offering prayers on time is the best, and then the
second in importance is obedience to parents.
3. The greatest sins are polytheism, disobedience to parents, giving false
evidences and telling lies.
Behaviour with Relatives
"Kinship"[ in Arabic- rahim] is derived from "The Most Beneficent"
[in Arabic- rahman]. The man who maintains the bonds of kinship is close to Allah
and one who severs relations with his kin is forsaken by Allah.
Bringing up Daughters
1. One who raises and educates three or two daughters or sisters, out of
fear of Allah, will go to Paradise (even if the number is one).
2. Bringing up daughters is a test; one who passes the test will be safe from Hell.
Bringing up Orphans
One who brings up orphans will be with me (the Prophet [Sallallahu Alayhi
Wa Sallam (SAWS) / peace be upon him] like the two fingers of a hand (in the Hereafter).
Obedience to Rulers
1. The ruler should be obeyed on the earth.
2. Even if a slave happens to become your ruler, you must obey him.
3. Kingdom is lost not through disbelief, but through tyranny.
Kindness
One who is not merciful and kind cannot expect mercy upon him.
Evils of Begging
1. One who begs is collecting fire (of Hell) for himself, whether it is small or great.
2. The worst person is he who begs in the Name of Allah and still gets nothing.
Don't beg from men for Allah's sake. It is better to demand from Allah Himself.
Cooperation
1. Those who are not kind to the young and do not respect the elders, do not
belong to us.
2. Be kind to people on the earth and Allah will be Merciful in Heaven.
3. In friendliness and sympathy, the Muslims are like a building in which the bricks
strengthen one another.
4. To meet cheerfully, to talk about virtues, to prevent people from vices and villainy,
to show the right path to those who have lost the way, to lead weak-sighted persons on
the way, to remove thorns, stones, and bones from paths and to draw water from
wells for others, are all deeds of virtue.
5. To greet and feed the poor, and to say prayers alone at night are the good signs
of Islam.
6. Only courteous men will be close and dear to me on the Day of Judgement. I shall
be disgusted and distant from those who are not well-behaved. I am also sick of
those who talk nonsense, discuss things irresponsibly and are proud.
7. To live comfortably is not arrogance. Arrogance is to despise the people and to
reject the truth.
8. Love all; in it is half of wisdom.
9. Don't behave well only when others behave well and to mischief if others do
mischief. Instead, try to behave well with those who behave well with you and do
not create mischief if they do likewise.
The Greatness of Learning
1. One who seeks knowledge finds the road to Paradise easier.
2. Knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim.
3. Quest for learning is atonement for past sins.
4. Learning is greater than devotion and optional prayer in importance.
5. Knowledge and wisdom are your lost treasures; seek them wherever they are.
6. He who conceals his knowledge will be chained with fire.
7. Nothing in the world is better than the collecting of knowledge and patience.
Treatment of Slaves, Women Servants and Attendants
1. Men slaves and women slaves are like your brothers and sisters. Allah has
kept them under your supervision. Equal treatment is to be given to them in food
and clothing. They should not be asked to bear more than their strength and
capacity. In difficult tasks they should be given assistance and support.
2. To liberate men slaves or women slaves is to get liberated from Hell.
