Allah the Almighty

     Allah (Exalted) is one, alone and only. He is the creator, sustainer and cherisher of all worlds. He is eternal, infinite and indivisible. He is supreme, sovereign and absolute. He is Almighty, All knowing, All just Just, All wise and All powerful. He is the holy one, the source of peace and perfection, the preserver of safety, the irresistible, the patron and guide. The king the ruler and the Lord. He neither begets nor is he begotten. He has no partner, no helper and no assistant. To believe in the oneness of Allah is called Tawhid. This belief enables the believer to surrender himself completely to the will of Allah and becomes His true servant and makes him humble, modest, dutiful and upright.

Islam: What is Islam?

     Many of us non-Muslim brothers/ sisters and also, believe it or not, our Muslim brothers and sisters  have this misunderstanding that Islam is a religion. Islam is a complete way of life. Islam teaches us the purpose, objective, and motive of our life. It shows us how to lead our private, public, social, political, economic, national and international life. 

     The word "Islam" means surrender and submission. A person who submits to Allah and leads his life according to His (Allah) orders and commandments in the way shown by the Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) is a Muslim.

Islam Consists of Five Pillars:

1. Shahaadah
2. Salaat
3. Zakaat
4. Hajj
5. Saum

All Praises be to Allah, the lord and master of the universe.

  
      Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh (May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you). He who has taught with the pen, that which mankind knew not. And peace and salutation be upon the noble messenger Muhammad (PBUH) and his family, his companions and upon all who follow his guidance until the day of judgement.
