Eventually, another prophet would come to correct the previous message. Over generations, however, people change and alter the messages they were given adding to or subtracting from what was originally revealed to the point where the original message was lost. Throughout human history, many prophets were sent to deliver revealed messages to the people. The Quran is God’s last and final revelation to mankind containing guidance for every aspect of life. The Quran is the literal word of God that was given to Muhammad ﷺ little by little over the course of his prophethood. Throughout the 23 years of his prophethood in the face of hardship and opposition, Muhammad ﷺ worked to communicate the divine instruction to his followers. He was the last in a long line of prophets, many of whom are known from the Christian and Jewish traditions such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, Solomon, John the Baptist, and Jesus (Peace be upon them all). Muhammad ﷺ was the last and final messenger of God. His mission was especially important because after him there was no other prophet to come. At the age of 40, God chose Muhammad ﷺ to become a prophet to deliver the message of God’s will to the people. Though he lived in a culture of idol worship, he always knew in his heart that there was only one God. From the time of his youth, he was known as the most honest and trustworthy person. Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him) was born in the Arabian town of Mecca in the year 570. He’s not a spirit or a man or a ball of energy or anything like that. He does not have any children and He is not the child of anyone. He is the Eternal Creator of everything that exists. It is the same word that Arabic speaking Jews and Christians use for God. “Allah” is the Arabic word for the One True God.
Similarly in Arabic, someone who does Islam is a Muslim. For example, in English someone who farms is a farmer, someone who works is a worker, and someone who builds is a builder. In the Arabic language, putting “mu” at the beginning of the word is similar to putting an “er” at the end of the word in English. Who is a Muslim?Ī Muslim is one who follows Islam. So, Islam is more than a religion, it’s a way of life. Islam is purely and simply living in accordance with what God wants. Islam is not named after a particular person as in the case of Christianity or Buddhism nor is it named after a group of people like Hinduism or Judaism. People are unique because we can choose whether or not to follow God’s commandments. By that simple definition, we can see that all of the universe, the planets, the trees, and the animals, all are in a state of Islam submission to the will of God, because they all follow their natural orders which God has created for them. In context, Islam means submission to God’s will on His terms. Islam is an Arabic word which means submission. Following are some of the most frequently asked questions that many people have about what Muslims believe and how we practice our religion.
Yet, many people don’t know very much about Islam. There are nearly 2 billion Muslims on the planet. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world.
