WHAT IS ISLAM?
Islam is a way of life that is followed by nearly1 billion people throughout the world. One who follows this way of life is called a Muslim. The word Islam, is an Arabic word that means both submission and peace. The full definition of Islam reveals that if you surrender your will to God, you will find peace in your soul. Allah is the Arabic word for God.

A Muslim, is one who surrenders to Allah and finds peace.

Islam is a complete way of life that is patterned after the natural trend in the universe. The most fundamental teaching of Islam is to believe in the Oneness of Allah, and that Allah is the only Creator, Preserver, Nourisher, etc. Therefore, one must acknowledge the fact that it is Allah alone who deserves to be worshipped, and thus abstain from worshipping any other thing or being. Likewise, Muslims believe that Allah has no father or mother, no son or daughter. None is equal to Him. He is the God of all humankind, not of a special tribe or race.
