What does 'Islam' mean? Islam is not a new religion, but the same
truth that God revealed through all His prophets to every people;
Islam is both a religion and the complete way of life. Muslims follow
a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness. The Arabic word 'Islam'
simply means 'submission', and derives from a word meaning 'peace'. In
a religious cont ext it means complete submission to the will of God.
'Mohammadanism' is thus a misnomer because it suggests that Muslims
worship Muhammad (peace be upon him) rather than God. 'Allah' is the
Arabic name for God, which is used by Arab Muslims and Christians
alike.
Islam is not Just for Arabs. The Truth of Islam is meant for all
people regardless of race, nationality or linguistic background.
Taking a look at the Muslim World, from Nigeria to Bosnia and from
Malaysia to Afghanistan is enough to prove that Islam is a Universal
message for all of mankind --- not to mention the fact that
significant numbers of Europeans and Americans of all races and ethnic
backgrounds are coming into Islam.
