Islam and Muslims
The Arabic word 'Islam' means 'entry', and also is stemmed from an acceptation 'peace'. Because of this, the religious beliefs of Islam teaches that in order to attain real satisfaction and also surety of heart, one has to submit to God and live according to His Divinely revealed Legislation.
Islam is not a brand-new religious belief since 'entry to the will of God', i.e. Islam, has actually constantly been the only acceptable religion in the view of God. Consequently, Islam is real 'natural religion', as well as it is the same timeless message revealed through the ages to all of God's prophets and also messengers. The major message of all the prophets has always been that there is just one True God and He alone is to be worshipped. These prophets start with Adam as well as consist of Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, John the Baptist, and Jesus, peace be upon them all. God says in the Holy Quran:
“We did not send before you (O Muhammad) any messenger but We revealed to him: ‘none has the right to be worshipped except I, therefore worship Me.’” (Quran 21:25)
However, the true message of these prophets was either lost or obtained corrupted gradually. Even one of the most current books, the Torah and the Gospel were adulterated as well as thus they lost their credibility to lead the people to the best path. Consequently 600 years after Jesus, God revitalized the shed message of previous prophets by sending the Prophet Muhammad with His final discovery, the Holy Quran, to all of humanity. Given That the Prophet Muhammad was the final prophet, God Himself has assured to protect His last revealed words so that it provides assistance for all humanity till the Last Day. It is currently necessary for everyone to think and also follow this last message from God. God Almighty says in the Quran:
“We have not sent you (O Muhammad) but to all mankind as a giver of good news and as a warner, but most people do not know.” (Quran 34:28)
“Whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter, he will be one of the losers.” (Quran 3:85)
The word "Muslim" suggests one who submits to the will of God, despite his/her race, citizenship or ethnic background. Hence, any person that is ready to submit to the will of God is qualified to end up being a Muslim.
