Asalam-u-Alikum brothers and sisters in Islam,
can everyone who reads this Dare to explain the word “Islam” IN THIER OWN WORDS??
¡QÜÉËñ!
Islaam is total submission...
for instance, read the first ruku of surah Baqarah: Alif Laam Meem to Azaabun Azeem.
comments: if you don't beleive, you are MUNAFIQ (Hypocrate). Either beleive completely, or don't call yourself a muslim
Anwar-ul-Islam Qureshi
Flushing, NY
This is BlaDee Good!
Could you pls explain for this Munafiq:
1)What does "Allah is Rehman-ir-Rahim" means?
2)Since the Sharia'h is the code that governs most muslim's life, could you please explain how 'Rahman & Rahim' is reflected in those Sharia'h laws? Stated differently, pls demonstrate that 'Rehman & Rahim' or 'compassion & mercy' exists in the Sharia'h laws?
3)If the Sharia'h laws cannot prove to be based on "Rehman & Rahim' or 'Compassion & Mercy' then, how can Allah of Fundamentalist Islam be called 'Rehman & Rahim'? Rather, it should be Allah of Fundo Islam is 'Not Rehman & Not Rahim'! Makes sense - don't you think?
bhai!
keon meri baaton ki wrong taaweel kartay ho??
Ma'az Allah who am I to say you or some one else a Munafiq...???
Allah knows what is inside of one's heart...
I was trying to say that what has been told by Allah in quran and hazrat Muhammad slaala ho alaihe wassallam, we have to obey and beleive with blind eyes. "Ya Ayyo hal Lazeena A'amanod khulu fis silmay kaa'affah."
Wallah-O-Alam!

Islam literally means peace. that means it is a religion which preaches peace.
well said saher!
In my own words it is a religion teaching one patience and ability to strive so that he attains the good result in the end i.e. hereafter.
that isit! saher!
That's really what it is....

Well Said!!!
THE FIRST KALMA SAYS IT ALL ABOUT ISLAM.
AND YES ONE MORE THING
in 1953 JUSTICE MUNIRR asked the seven greatest ulmas of that time from pakistan (from different sect)that define islam. They failed to present a sigle definition of islam and asked for some time (7 days or 3 days) must be given to them so that they may make a defination for ISLAM ..
JUSTICE MUNIR replied "ISlam has given you over more than 1300 years of time ... if ya have nnot gathered on one definition of islam ... than court fails to give you anymore time"
RUST IN PEACE
Lucifer,
The point about the Munir Report was discussed in a thread: ISLAMIC STATE & KUFR!
As you said nobody could define who a muslim is but each was willing to put the other to the sword for being a kafir! Interesting! And, meaning of Islam is Peace?
BlaDe Girl:
I hope you're not just the cheering squad and at some point you'll answer my 3 questions raised above. I guarantee even your Ulemas won't be able to answer it!
Hmmmm What is islam? Nice question.

The arabic term Islam meaning <> points to the fundamental religious creed which dictates that a muslim submits to the will of allah, conforming inwardly and outwardly to his laws.
The religion islam lays great emphasis on uncompromising and rigid monotheism and strict adherence and bond to certain creeds and acts of worship. It says submitting to the will of allah and following the exemplary way of the life of mohammad, the last of the prophets and messengers,(PBH). Allah created the universe and what is in it and that he be recognized as the one and only God. He created man and jinn only to celebrate His praise and worship Him. His words << I have only created jinns and men, that they may serve Me.>>(quran 51:56)
The ways and acts of worship are not left to man’s option or choices. Allah is the one who orders and decrees all acts of worship and the means in which they must be observed. Since islam deals in every aspect of life, spiritual and physical, its law is based on creeds, acts of worship and oridinances regarding social, economical and political transactions.
Islam is a perfect way life, it orders every muslim in maintaining a refined code of manners. Aishah the wife of the messenger was asked about the manners of the prophet; she said “his manners were Al-quran” which means that prophet mohammad(PBH)adhere to the quran it rules of discipline, its commands, its prohibtions, and the excellent, beautifull, and gracious things compraised in it. For this reason allah commands the believers to follow the examplary life of his messenger Mohammad(PBH)…
Islam orders good manners for every occasion; seeking permission, greeting, sitting, eating, learning, teaching, sporting, traveling, dressing, visiting, sleeping, marriage, treating people, particularly, relatives, and neighbours with kindness. Codes of all such great manners are found in both quran and in the prophetic traditions of the messenger of allah(PBH).
May allah help us understand Islam MORE and better.Good luck. bye

Okay well the word Islam means the submission/surrender of one's will to the one true god, Allah SWT. At the same time the word Islam also implies peace, perhaps conveying the nature of Islam itself, as well as illustrating that peace is the natural consequence of total submission to the will of Allah SWT.
The name, Islam, was chosen by Allah SWT Himself:"This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion".(Al Maidah 5:3)
Allah SWT has commanded us to adhere firmly to His religion, as He says:“Hold fast to that which We have given you” [Al Baqarah 2:63].
Islam is that which has been given to us by Allah SWT. Therefore, Islam is Allah's religion,"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah (God) never will It be accepted of Him"(Al Imran 3:85).
Islam is the religion which was given to Adam, the first man and the first prophet of Allah SWT, and it was the religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind. "Abraham was not a Jew nor Christian; but an upright Muslim." (Al Imran 3:67)
asalaam o alaykum to you all!
My answer is very simple. If yu look into the English dictionary, the word Islam is a verb. And you all know what verb is. Action!
Asalam-u-Aliakum
Islam?
-The cornerstone of Islam is "Tauhid."Tauhid" means belief in only one God and that existence in general-- among other things the order of nature--is a manifestation of His grand design, as well as turning to God in prayer and glorification, away from worshipping any other.
"La ilaha, illa-llah"
--"There is no God but Allah."
"Ashhadu an la ilaha illa-llah"
-- "I testify that there is no God beside Allah."
The only God to whom Islam invites everyone is inaccessible to the senses. He is beyond the reach of eyesight nor is He open to touch.
Quran says in this respect:
"No vision can grasp Him but His grasp is over all vision.
He is above all comprehension yet Omniscient." (6:103)
"Say, O people of the book ! Come now to agreement with us, based on a fair principle common to both, namely, that we shall worship NONE BUT GOD. That we shall never associate any other with HIM; that we shall never take one another as lords besides God." (3:64)
"Religious goodness does not consist in your ritual worship, turning your faces towards the east or towards the west. Rather, it consists in believing in God, in the Day of Judgement, in His angels, Books, and Prophets, as well as in sharing one's wealth, for His sake, with the relative, the orphan, the destitute, the wayfarer; in spending it for the ransom of those who are not free, as well as in observing theprayers, paying the zakat, fulfilling one's contracts and promises, in holding firm in good times and ill times, or under constraint; in being always truthful. These are the truly felicitous." (2:171)
Faceup, your questions about Shari'ah laws, and about ALLAH being "REHMAN AND RAHIM", i answered in my post and now i have no time re-writing everything.

P.S see it didn’t take any Ulmas to answer ur questions smiles
¡QÜÉËñ!
Masooma
The question was not directed to you and, surely, I do not care for you to repeat what you said earlier where you answered my question by saying that 'Nobody is following True Islam'. Yeah, right! That is a copout!
There can never be Rahman & Rahim in Orthodox Islam (shia & sunni) unless the laws witten in the 7th centuryare revamped to reflect 21 st century! Until then all the good thingies that you write is 'useless fundamentalist propoganda.' Where is the beef?
Re: Tawhid - I hear there are portraits of Imam Mehdi on sale in Iran, Iraq and shia pilgrims are snapping them up, as looking at the face of Ali (as) is worship (ibada'at).
