Islam And Muslims by Hardheolar(m): 10:22am On Jul 21, 2014
The Arabic word ‘Islam’ means
‘submission’, and is derived from a word
meaning ‘peace’. As such, the religion of
Islam teaches that in order to achieve true
peace of mind and surety of heart, one must
submit to God and live according to His
Divinely revealed Law.

Islam is not a new religion because
‘submission to the will of God’, i.e. Islam,
has always been the only acceptable
religion in the sight of God. For this
reason, Islam is the true ‘natural religion’,
and it is the same eternal message revealed
through the ages to all of God’s prophets
and messengers. The main message of all
the prophets has always been that there is
only One True God and He alone is to be
worshipped. These prophets start with
Adam and include Noah, Abraham, Moses,
David, Solomon, John the Baptist, and Jesus,
peace be upon them all. God says in the
Holy Quran:

“We did not send before you (O
Muhammad) any messenger but We
revealed to him: ‘none has the right to be
worshipped except I, therefore worship
Me.’” (Quran 21:25)

However, the true message of these
prophets was either lost or got corrupted
over time. Even the most recent books, the
Torah and the Gospel were adulterated and
hence they lost their credibility to guide the
people to the right path. Therefore 600
years after Jesus, God revived the lost
message of previous prophets by sending the
Prophet Muhammad with His final
revelation, the Holy Quran, to all of
mankind. Since the Prophet Muhammad
was the final prophet, God Himself has
promised to preserve His last revealed
words so that it is a source of guidance for
all humanity till the Last Day. It is now
imperative for everyone to believe and
follow this final message from God. God
Almighty says in the Quran:

“We have not sent you (O Muhammad) but
to all mankind as a giver of good news
and as a warner, but most people do not
know.” (Quran 34:28)

“Whoever seeks a religion other than
Islam, it will never be accepted of him,
and in the Hereafter he will be one of the
losers.” (Quran 3:85)


The word “Muslim” means one who
submits to the will of God, regardless of his/
her race, nationality or ethnic background.
Hence, any person who is ready to submit to
the will of God is eligible to become a Muslim.
