THE MEANING OF ISLAM (1); ISLAM is liguistically derived from the Arabic root salaama peace, purity, submission and obedience. In the religious sense, Islam means complete submission-in act and belief -to the will of God and obedience to His law. There is something that is called Fetra (inherent nature ) found in every human , something which cant be microscpically seen just as the word mind . It is through Fetra that you feel that there is a supreme power , it is the hidden call inherent in the self ,it is up to you to follow it or discard it ; to follow it you must use your mind which God deemed it as the highest of the human organs . Though who disbelief disregard this . It scientifically established that every object from the biggest Galaxy to the smallest particle in the atom goes against the clockwise handle - the contents of the cell does the same motion , pilgrims circumambulate the Kaaba in the same direction .Everything and every phenomenon in the world, other than man and jinn is administered totally by God-made laws,they are obedient to God and submissive to His laws, i.e. they are in the state of Islam. Man possesses the quality of intelligence and choice, thus he is invited to submit to the good will of God and obey His law, i.e. become a Muslim. Submission to the good will of God, together with obedience to His beneficial law, i.e. becoming a Muslim, is the best safeguard for mans peace and harmony. In this complete submission , a Moslem finds spiritual relief that he cant find when submitting himself to anything else such as the vainglory of this life . Islam dates back to the age of Adam and its message has been conveyed to man by Gods Prophets and Messengers including Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. Islams message has been restored and enforced in the last stage of the religious evolution by Gods last Prophet and Messenger Muhammad. All prophets were sent to affirm this fact ; The human race has undergone through many phases of development .To Every phase , there was canon to edify and refine humanity . As you see different canons to different phases but all take you to the complete submission to God . The word ALLAH in the Arabic language means God, or more accurately The One and Only Eternal God, Creator of the Universe, Lord of all lords, King of all kings, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. The word Allah to mean God is also used by Arabic speaking Jews and Christians. The word Allah still has high meanings , articulating the word several times with deep thinking and contemplation causes a spiritual tranquility -just try!!! TO BE CONTINUED INSHA ALLAH.
