The Religion’s NameThe first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word ‘Islam” itself means. The Arabic word “Islam” means the submission or surrender of one’s will to the only true God, known in Arabic as “Allah”. One who submits his will to God is termed in Arabica “Muslim”. The religion of Islam is not named after a person or a people, nor wasit decided by a later generation of man, as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gautama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, Marxism after Karl Marx, Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus. Islam (submission to the will of God) is the religion which was given to Adam, the firstman and the first prophet of God, and it was the religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind. Further its name waschosen by God Himself and clearly mentioned in the final scripture which He revealed to man. In that final revelation, called in Arabic the Qur’an Allah states the following:“This day have I perfected your religion foryou, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.” [Qur’an 5:3]“If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to God), never will it beaccepted of Him.” [Qur’an 3:85]Hence, Islam does not claim to be a new religion brought by Prophet Mohammed into Arabia in the seventh century, but rather to be a re-expression in its final form of the true religion of Almighty God, Allah, as it was originally revealed to Adam and subsequent prophets.At this point we might comment briefly ontwo other religions that claim to be the true path. Nowhere in the Bible will you find God revealing to Prophet Moses’ people or their descendants that their religion is called Judaism, or to the followers of Christ that their religion is called Christianity. In other words, the names “Judaism” and “Christianity” had no divine origin or approval. It was not until long after his departure that the name Christianity was given to Jesus’ religion.What, then, was Jesus’ religion in actual fact, as distinct from its name? (Both the name Jesus and the name Christ are derived from Hebrew words, through Greek and Latin. Jesus is the English and Latin form of the Greek Iesous, which in Hebrew Is Yeshua or Yehoshua’ (Joshua) [messiah], which is a title meaning ' the anointed'.) His religion was reflected in his teachings, which he urged his followers to accept as guiding principles in their relationship with God. In Islam, Jesus is a prophet sent by Allah and his Arabic name is Eesa. Like the prophets before him, he called upon the people to surrender their will to the will of God (which is what Islam stands for). For example, in the New Testament it is stated that Jesus taught his followers to pray to God as follows:“Our father in heaven, hallowed be your name, may your will be done on earth as itis in heaven.” [Luke 11:2/Matthew 6:9-10]This concept was emphasised by Jesus in a number of his statements recorded inthe Gospels. He taught, for example, that only those who submitted would inherit paradise. Jesus also pointed out that he himself submitted to the will of God.“None of those who call me ‘Lord’ will enter the kingdom of God, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.” [Matthew 7:21]“I cannot do anything of myself I judge as I hear and my judgment is honest because I am not seeking my own will butthe will of Him who sent me.” [John 5:30]There are many reports in the Gospels which show that Jesus made it clear to his followers that he was not the one true God. For example, when speaking about the final Hour, he said:“No-one knows about the day or hour, noteven the angels in heaven, not the son, but only the Father.” [Mark 13:32]Thus, Jesus like the prophets before him and the one who came after him, taught the religion of Islam: submission to the will of the one true God.

Each person is born in a circumstance which is not of his own choosing. The religion of his family or the ideology of thestate is thrust upon him from the very beginning of his existence in this world. By the time he reaches his teens, he is usually fully brain-washed into believing that the beliefs of his particular society are the correct beliefs that everyone should have. However, when some peoplemature and are exposed to other belief-systems, they begin to question the validity of their own beliefs. The seekers of truth often reach a point of confusion upon realizing that each and every religion, sect, ideology and philosophy claims to be the one and only correct way for man. Indeed, they all encourage people to do good. So, which one is right?They cannot all be right since each claimsall others are wrong. Then how does the seeker of truth choose the right way?God gave us all minds and intellects to enable us to make this crucial decision. It is the most important decision in the life of a human being. Upon it depends his future, Consequently, each and every one of us must examine dispassionately the evidence presented and choose what appears to be right until further evidence arises.Like every other religion or philosophy, Islam also claims to be the one and only true way to God. In this respect it is no different from other systems. This bookletintends to provide some evidence for the validity of that claim. However, it must always be kept in mind that one can only determine the true path by putting aside emotions and prejudices, which often blind us to reality. Then, and only then, will we be able to use our God-given intelligence and make a rational and correct decision.There are several arguments, which may be advanced to support Islam’s claim to be the true religion of God. The following are only three of the most obvious. The first argument is based on the divine origin of the names of the religion and the comprehensiveness of its meaning. The second deals with the unique and uncomplicated teachings concerning the relationship between God, man, and creation. The third argument derives from the fact that Islam is universally attainableby all men at all times. These are the threebasic components of what logic and reason dictate necessary for a religion to be considered the true religion of God. The following pages will develop these concepts in some detail.

The first thing that one should know and clearly
understand about Islam is what the word ‘Islam”
itself means. The Arabic word “Islam” means the
submission or surrender of one’s will to the only
true God, known in Arabic as “Allah”. One who
submits his will to God is termed in Arabic a
“Muslim”. The religion of Islam is not named after
a person or a people, nor was it decided by a
later generation of man, as in the case of
Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ,
Buddhism after Gautama Buddha, Confucianism
after Confucius, Marxism after Karl Marx, Judaism
after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the
Hindus. Islam (submission to the will of God) is
the religion which was given to Adam, the first
man and the first prophet of God, and it was the
religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to
mankind. Further its name was chosen by God
Himself and clearly mentioned in the final
scripture which He revealed to man. In that final
revelation, called in Arabic the Qur’an Allah states
the following:
“This day have I perfected your religion for you,
completed My favour upon you, and have chosen
for you Islam as your religion.” [Qur’an 5:3]
“If anyone desires a religion other than Islam
(submission to God), never will it be accepted of
Him.” [Qur’an 3:85]
Hence, Islam does not claim to be a new religion
brought by Prophet Mohammed into Arabia in the
seventh century, but rather to be a re-expression
in its final form of the true religion of Almighty
God, Allah, as it was originally revealed to Adam
and subsequent prophets.
At this point we might comment briefly on two
other religions that claim to be the true path.
Nowhere in the Bible will you find God revealing to
Prophet Moses’ people or their descendants that
their religion is called Judaism, or to the followers
of Christ that their religion is called Christianity.
In other words, the names “Judaism” and
“Christianity” had no divine origin or approval. It
was not until long after his departure that the
name Christianity was given to Jesus’ religion.
What, then, was Jesus’ religion in actual fact, as
distinct from its name? (Both the name Jesus
and the name Christ are derived from Hebrew
words, through Greek and Latin. Jesus is the
English and Latin form of the Greek Iesous, which
in Hebrew Is Yeshua or Yehoshua’ (Joshua)
[messiah], which is a title meaning ' the
anointed'.) His religion was reflected in his
teachings, which he urged his followers to accept
as guiding principles in their relationship with
God. In Islam, Jesus is a prophet sent by Allah
and his Arabic name is Eesa. Like the prophets
before him, he called upon the people to
surrender their will to the will of God (which is
what Islam stands for). For example, in the New
Testament it is stated that Jesus taught his
followers to pray to God as follows:
“Our father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
may your will be done on earth as it is in
heaven.” [Luke 11:2/Matthew 6:9-10]
This concept was emphasised by Jesus in a
number of his statements recorded in the
Gospels. He taught, for example, that only those
who submitted would inherit paradise. Jesus also
pointed out that he himself submitted to the will
of God.
“None of those who call me ‘Lord’ will enter the
kingdom of God, but only the one who does the
will of my Father in heaven.” [Matthew 7:21]
“I cannot do anything of myself I judge as I hear
and my judgment is honest because I am not
seeking my own will but the will of Him who sent
me.” [John 5:30]
There are many reports in the Gospels which
show that Jesus made it clear to his followers
that he was not the one true God. For example,
when speaking about the final Hour, he said:
“No-one knows about the day or hour, not even
the angels in heaven, not the son, but only the
Father.” [Mark 13:32]
Thus, Jesus like the prophets before him and the
one who came after him, taught the religion of
Islam: submission to the will of the one true God.

Pls stay on the topic.

In Islam, Jesus is considered one of
the five greatest prophets sent by God to
mankind. Muslims’ knowledge about
Jesus is based on the two main sources of
Islamic knowledge: the Quran and
Hadeeth (prophetic sayings). In the
Quran, Jesus is referred to as Isa ibn
Maryam , or Jesus, the son of Mary. The
story of Mary and Jesus is best described
in the Quran in chapters 3 and 19.
Mary: A Precocious Girlhood
The story starts with Mary, who was
blessed as a child with God’s protection.
Mary was born to the pious household of
Aal Imran, or the family of Imran.
Many people argued for the honor of
taking care of the child, but the
responsibility was given to Zechariah, an
elderly and childless man, who
immediately noticed that the young girl
was special. One day, Zechariah noticed
that the girl had in her possession
certain provisions for which he could not
account. He asked her how she came by
the food and she answered,
“It is from God. Indeed, God provides for
whom He wills without account.” (Quran
3:37)
This simple answer had a deep
impact on the elderly man. Having long
wished for a son, the devout Zechariah
prayed to God for progeny. As the
Quran relates in the verses below, his
prayers were answered almost
immediately, although his wife was
barren and beyond childbearing age:
“At that, Zechariah called upon his Lord,
saying, ‘My Lord, grant me from Yourself a
good offspring. Indeed, You are the Hearer
of supplication.’ So the angels called him
while he was standing in prayer in the
chamber, ‘Indeed, God gives you good
tidings of John, confirming a word from God
and [who will be] honorable, abstaining
[from women], and prophet from among the
righteous.’” (Quran 3:38-39)
The uniqueness of Mary, noticed by
Zechariah, was spelled out to her by the
angels:
“And [mention] when the angels said, “O
Mary, indeed God has chosen you and
purified you and chosen you above the
women of the worlds. O Mary, be devoutly
obedient to your Lord and prostrate and
bow with those bow [in prayer].’” (Quran
3:42-43)
Here the story of Mary’s upbringing
and girlhood, as related in the Quran,
ends.
The Miracle of Jesus
In chapter 19, entitled “Mary,” we
hear more of this special woman’s story,
best told by the Quran itself.
“And mention, [O Muhammad], in the Book
[the story of] Mary, when she withdrew
from her family to a place toward the east.
And she took, in seclusion from them, a
screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel [i.e.,
Gabriel], and he represented himself to her
as a well-proportioned man. She said,
‘Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful
from you, [so leave me], if you should be
fearing of God.’ He said, ‘I am only the
messenger of your Lord to give you [news
of] a pure boy [i.e., son].’ She said, ‘How
can I have a boy while no man has touched
me and I have not been unchaste?’ He said,
“Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, ‘It is easy
for Me, and We will make him a sign to the
people and a mercy from Us. And it is a
matter [already] decreed.’” So she
conceived him, and she withdrew with him
to a remote place.” (Quran 19:16–22)
From the Quranic description of
events, we can deduce that Mary spent
most of her pregnancy alone. What
happened to her during this period is
not mentioned in the Quran. The Quran
picks up the story at the moment that
Mary goes into labor.
“And the pains of childbirth drove her to
the trunk of palm tree. She said, ‘Oh, I wish
I had died before this and was in oblivion,
forgotten.’ But he called her from below
her, ‘Do not grieve; your Lord has provided
beneath you a stream.’” (Quran 19:23-24)
God, knowing the reaction of society,
further guided her how to deal with the
situation:
“And shake toward you the trunk of the
palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh
dates. (Quran 19:25)
When she carried the baby Jesus to
her people, they questioned her; and as a
baby in her arms, Jesus gave them the
answer. The Quran describes this scene
in detail:
“So eat and drink and be contented. And if
you see from among humanity anyone, say,
‘Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful
abstention, so I will not speak today to [any]
man.’ Then she brought him to her people,
carrying him. They said, ‘O Mary, you have
certainly done a thing unprecedented. O
sister of Aaron, your father was not a man
of evil, nor was your mother unchaste.’ So
she pointed to him. They said, ‘How can we
speak to one who is in the cradle a
child?’ [Jesus] said, ‘Indeed, I am the
servant of God. He has given me the
Scripture and made me a prophet. And He
has made me blessed wherever I am and
has enjoined upon me prayer and zakah as
long as I remain alive And [made me]
dutiful to my mother, and he has not made
me a wretched tyrant. And peace is on me
the day I was born and the day I will die
and the day I am raised alive.’” (Quran
19:26-33)
And so the baby Jesus defended his
mother from any accusations of adultery,
and in a nutshell, explained who he was
and why he was sent by God.
Here ends the story of Mary and
miraculous birth of one of the greatest
prophets of God, Jesus.
“That is Jesus, the son of Mary – the word of
truth about which they are in
dispute.” (Quran 19:34)
