A Muslim’s life is concisely described as follows in the Qur’an, MEANING: "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds." (Surat al-Anaam:162).
Muslims live for the cause of Allah and strive to earn the good pleasure of Allah by arranging their lives according to His Will.
A believer who decides to live for the cause of Allah must abandon all the idols of the society.
Being A Muslim means being Devoted to Allah, and Allah alone.


Jazakallah bi-khair

Islam/Muslim

It is derived from the Arabic verb Aslama meaning to  Submit to (the will of the one and only Allah). It is the religion PAR EXCELLENCE of SUBMISSION and a follower of Islam is called a Muslim.

We believe that there is only one God alone who is without spouse, children, partners or equals. He begets not, nor is he begotten. And there is none like unto him. He alone deserves to be worshiped. There is no God but Allah. Allah is the Arabic name for God. It is used by Arabic-speaking Christians and Muslims of every language.

The Qur’an denies that God is a duality, or that God is a Trinity. An uncompromising monotheism is maintained throughout.

All except God are his creatures. Those who are regarded as sons of God are in fact no more than chosen servants and messengers of his. Every prophet and messenger preached the same basic message that people should shun false Gods and worship the only true God, Allah.

We believe that God has revealed his saving message to all of humankind over time.

The Qur'an is the last of the revealed books. As such, it occupies a unique position as the record of God’s final testament for humankind. God promised to preserve this book from error for all time. Indeed, no one disputes that the Qur’an as we now have it is essentially as it was fourteen hundred years ago.

Because of the Qur’an’s unique historical position, for the believer it acts as a control on the other scriptures; where any of the other scriptures differ from the Qur’an such differences could have arisen through human error in the process of transmission.

On the other hand, the previous scriptures were left to humans to guard as best they could. Over time mistakes arose, commentaries were mixed with the text, and even deliberate changes were made.

The Gospel was true as preached by Jesus, but over time some of his words went unrecorded, and eventually forgotten. Moreover, incorrect teachings came to be associated with his name. The Qur’an is now here to restore his true teachings.

What you failed to understand is that the Gospel which Jesus preaches is not the one which is in your hands today. Todays' Bible is full of errors and human alterations (which were deliberate and is indicating that you are following not Jesus but the wish of some other people) Cant you understand that?

If I may say, the Bible of today has little or no difference with the Oxford Advanced Learners' Dictionary in terms of updates. You people keep on updating it from time to time. It is completely altered and tempered with.

that's obvious that Muslims are detested all over the world including the language of their Holy book; all because they tell THE TRUTH.
but accept it or not; ISLAM IS THE ONLY WAY TO SALVATION.

If Moslems are hated, then put the blame where it belongs, on the likes of Osama bin Laden or Abu Bakr Bashir, who slaughter the innocent and call it holy.

I scarcely believe you are a Christian with very little or no knowledge at all about the Bible. I also wonder why you do not know that there are many scrolls that were missing for hundreds of years (new). This means that there are some parts of the Bible that are not yet known. You also failed to admit the fact that Bible is being updated just like any other science, philosophy or sociology book. I hope you said what you have said only with your mouth, with your heart telling you that the opposite is true (because you know it).

@poster,
This is year 2011, meaning 2000 years plus after Mohamed. What this generation need is love not segregation. Preach love not Race, Hate and competition.

What act exactly will earn you the pleasure of God? And what good act is righteous enough to erase the bad things you've done in your life? Truly I say to you, you have all the love of God that He has to offer. The question, however, is: have you received it? No righteous lifestyle can earn you any more love of God than that which He has freely given!
TO believe in ALLAH AS THE ONLY CREATOR WITHOUT AN ASSOCIATE earns you HIS PLEASURES .to be the source of succor to the deprive,d hope to the hopeless, and do unto others as you want others to do unto you erases you bad deeds.
