Islam does not mean peace


Islam = Surrender to Allah (swt) with Tawheed, to Submit to Allah with complete obedience and to renounce shirk and the people of shirk


Tawheed (or Tauheed) commonly translated as “Islamic Monotheism” or “Oneness; of Allah” is the very purpose of our existence.  Allah (or God) created us for one reason and that is to worship, obey and submit to Him exclusively, no one else.  And this is the very reason for which the Quran was revealed to convey to us this reality.

“I did not create the jinn (unseen beings) and humankind except to worship Me.” [ Adh-Dhariyat
51:56]

Therefore, you were not created to obey your false desires and to work endlessly to satisfy these until you die.  Rather, you were created in order to obey Allah.  And no one can obey Allah exclusively unless they first reject all false gods that people follow, worship and obey besides Him.

Any person or thing that is worshipped, followed or obeyed besides Allah is called “Taghoot” or “Falsehood”. Rejecting Taghoot is the most important aspect of Tawheed because you cannot worship and obey Allah exclusively unless you first reject falsehood and anything that is worshipped besides Him.

It is impossible for human beings not to worship or obey something.  People who do not worship Allah end up worshipping false deities: their own desires or other people or things; the creation instead of the creator (ie. fame/fortune or those in Authority over them).  For instance Christians worship Jesus (a man) and Pagans worship idols made of stones.  Muslims alone single out Allah (God) for their worship,


Not one of these gods (or deities) is worthy of your worship and obedience except Allah alone. They cannot hear your prayers, prevent harm from reaching you or benefit you in anyway, and they certainly have no right to tell you what is good (legal) or bad (illegal). It is only Allah who is worthy of our obedience as well as those whom He tells us to obey – such as His Messengers and those who rule by His laws – as He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and all that which is between them.

Most of the ills and problems that are present in society today have arisen due to the fact that people have started to worship men instead of God, by taking them as lawmakers besides Him. Worship doesn’t just involve bowing down or prostrating to something; it also means to obey and follow. But no man or woman, king or queen, president or judge, is worthy of our obedience unless they follow the laws of Allah. We should reject and disown any person or thing that is worshipped besides Allah and only obey and submit to Him. This is the meaning of Tawheed.

Lovely writeup.
There's no other God but Allah.
I just pity pagans out there.
