ISLAM

"O You people, adore your lord who created you and those who came before you, that you may have the chance to be righteous" Al - Koran 2:21.

We invite all human beings to know what Islam is really is, and maybe you will some day have Allah's blessing in following Islam.

"Those who obey Allah and his Messenger are in the company of those who are blessed by Allah, prophets, the sincere (faithful), the witnesses (martyrs) and the Righteous (whom do good), and what a beautiful fellowship" Al- Koran 4: 69.

Look at things around you: insects, animals, plants, stars, birds, sail, trees etc… Don't you see that they have accurate systems governing them? Don't they function properly and accurately, and in a way or another serve us human beings? Think of yourself, of your organs, of your numerous and efficient body systems, how do they function in a cooperative manner in order to secure a healthful life for you? Who created all these fantastic things? Who established their accurate systems? Who is controlling this huge and complicated universe? No human being could claim creating this universe. The creator and sustainer of all these creatures is only one. That one is Allah (or the only true god).

Islam: why?

Because Islam is the religion accepted by Allah for all humanity, also Islam is the religion of all prophets since Adam to Mohammed (including Jesus and Moses), Peace be upon them all. Because Islam is the seal of all heavenly religions, and the last of Allah's apostles, and its Book (Al-Koran) is the last Allah's scriptures.

 

Islam: for whom?

For every person whom Allah gave life and brain. For those whom can see good things Allah gave us. For those whom can hear the words of Allah. For those whose hearts are full of love, and gratitude to Allah. For us and you, and everyone who wants to open his heart for faith.

Answer Allah's call:

"But your god is one god, submit then your wills to him (In Islam) and give the good news to those who humble themselves".Al-Koran 22:34

The person who wants to enter Islam has simply to say: "I bear witness that there is no (true) god expect Allah, and I bear witness that Mohammed is Allah's messenger", and that's it, the person become a Muslim, of course he or she should believe in:

      1. Allah.
      2. The angles.
      3. The scriptures.
      4. The Messengers.
      5. The Last Day.
      6. The Predestination of good or bad.

Also a Muslim should do his (or her) best to follow Islam's orders, ethics, and do good deeds (which includes working, studying, helping other's serving humanity, defending your homeland and people, etc…), the five basic things needed from each Muslim during his or her life:

      1. To perform Salat (the Five prayers).
      2. To give Zakat (special Islamic system of charity).
      3. To fast the holy month of Ramadan (Siyam).
      4. To make Al-Hajj (the pilgrimage) journey to Mecca, for those whom could do this (has both physical and financial ability).
      5. The two shahadates (confessions).

In Islam the relationship is direct between you and Allah, everyone is equal in this relationship, poor or rich, ignorant or educated so it is your choice. It is only your choice, to do good deeds, or to do evil things. You should watch your self, and should know if you are on the right way or not.

Some of Islamic Morals and Ethics:

To say truth, and never tell lies, to be true to your word, do not betray, be honest, do not speak badly of other people behind their backs. A Muslim should be courage, not coward. Just with others, even against himself, does not attack others rights, also does not allow others to harm him (or her) unjustly. A Muslim takes advises for all his affairs (form anyone whom has knowledge), and after that puts himself in "Allah's hands". A Muslim performs his (or her) work as perfectly as he (or she) can. A Muslim is modest, merciful, dose good and asks people to do it, keeps away from evil and forbids it.
