Top Questions About Islam

1-What is Islam؟
The word "Islam" means peace and submission.
Peace means to be at peace with yourself and your
surroundings and submission means submission to
the will of God. A broader meaning of the word
"Islam" is to achieve peace by submitting to the will
of God.

a moral attitude and a way of life. Judaism takes its
name from the tribe of Juda, Christianity from Jesus
Christ, Buddhism from Goutam Buddha and
Hinduism from Indus River. However, Muslims derive

5- Who is a Muslim؟
The word "Muslim" means one who submits to the
will of God. This is done by declaring that "there is
no god except one God and Muhammad is the
messenger of God." In a broader sense, anyone who
willingly submits to the will of God is a Muslim. Thus,
all the prophets preceding the prophet Muhammad
are considered Muslims. The Quran specifically
mentions Abraham who lived long before Moses and
Christ that, "he was not a Jew or a Christian but a
Muslim," because, he had submitted to the will of
God. Thus there are Muslims who are not submitting
at all to the will of God and there are Muslims who
are doing their best to live an Islamic life. One
cannot judge Islam by looking at those individuals
who have a Muslim name but in their actions, they
are not living or behaving as Muslims. The extent of
being a Muslim can be according to the degree to
which one is submitting to the will of God, in his
beliefs and his actions.
