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
