Now, let me tell you what itis

It Is Islam!

If the minds are captives of prejudice or narrow-mindedness,
they will never recognize the beauty or truth of Islam!

Perhaps some readers already hold preconceived, negative notions about Islam.
Perhaps they have seen it only as portrayed by the media, focusing on terrorists - those few who would be terrorists regardless of their religion.
Perhaps they have read or heard about Islam from unauthentic or biased sources.
Anyhow, if you are keen to discover more reliable information about Islam, I invite you to read- objectively and with an open mind- this excerpt and the other parts of the series (Discover Its Beauty in 7 Minutes!), which demonstrates the beauty and simplicity of Islam and shares information about:
• The creation of the universe.
• Our creation.
• Our spiritualit.
• The pure concept of God.
• The concept of worship.
• The purpose of life.
• The way to gain true happiness and ultimate pleasure, and our final destination in the next life.

Islam Answers Critical Questions, Such As:

What is the ultimate truth?
Who created us?
Is there a God?
Who is our true God?
Who is God’s final Prophet?
Whom should we worship?
Who are we?
Why are we here?
What happens after we die?
What will the next life be like?
What is our final destination - Paradise or Hellfire?
How can we attain true peace of mind, success, and real happiness?
How can we gain eternal life?

Discover The Truth About Islam!
The more you read and learn about Islam from authentic and reliable sources, the more you will discover that it is the true religion of Adam and Eve and their descendants until the end of this world. The religion of Islam is simple, logical, clear, practical, and comprehensive.
The beauty of Islam is infinite, since it comes from the Infinite One, the Creator.
The one true God, Allah, states in the beautiful and unaltered Qur’an:

(This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favour upon you, and have approved for you Islam as your religion.) (The Qur’an, 5:3)

The same one true God tells us that Muhammad is His last and final Prophet, sent to all humankind (Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, agnostics, and others).
Allah offers His guidance and light to all people. He reveals the secrets and keys through which we can achieve tranquillity and contentment, as well as spiritual and global peace.

Islam teaches us to be just, wise, sincere, honest, objective, and open-minded in our search for the truth.

Basic Islamic Names & Terms:
Allah: In Arabic, Allah is the proper name of the one true God, the Creator. Islam teaches that Allah is the true God of all humankind. Jewish and Christian Arabs use this name (Allah) to refer to God, and it is the word used for God in Arabic-language Bibles.


Muhammad: the last Prophet of the one true God (Allah); sent to all humankind (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him).


The Glorious Quran: the final Word of the one true God (Allah), as revealed to Prophet Muhammad.


Islam: submission to the Will of the one true God (Allah), the Creator.


Muslim: one who submits to the Will of the one true God (Allah), the Creator.

THE TESTIMONY OF FAITH
I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.

In Arabic, it reads:

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّه

Which sounds like this:
ASH-HADU ALLA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH, WA ASH-HADU ANNA MUHAMMADAN RASOOLU ALLAH.

This is the testimony of faith that one needs to pronounce in order to embrace Islam; it sums up the truth, beauty, and simplicity of Islam.
