Surat Ali `Imran, Ayah: 85 “And 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” (Noble Qur’an). the name Islam expresses deep spiritual meaning that organizes a universal worldview into an outlook on life and concept of worship. The word Islam is an Arabic word which means complete submission to the will of Almighty God. Other religions are named after their founders, such as Christianity and Buddhism; after a tribe or ethnic group, such as Judaism; or after a specific geographical region, such as Hinduism. Islam, however, is unique because its name represents the universal concept of the created existence with its outlook on the true nature of life because it reflects the idea we are all in the same universal condition as nature. Additionally, the name Islam was not thought up by its followers or applied by other people, as is the case with the names of other religions, but was revealed by Almighty God. This name expressed nothing new, because submission to the will of God, i.e. Islam, has always been the true religion of God. Due to this fact, and since the teachings of Islam are straightforward, profound and logical, Islam is the Natural Religion of all human beings. The name of no other religion carries any significant message, or conveys the true sense of its outlook on life, as does the name “Islam.
