What is islam?
"What is Islam?” is the question you ask.
Answering
this question is every Muslims task.
Describing
Islam can be a lot,
But
first I’ll tell you what Islam is not.
Islam
is not Faraqan and terrorism.
Nor
is it oppressing women and racism.
Islam
doesn’t teach these things.
On
the contrary it forbids them.
Islam
isn’t focused on selling news papers and bean pies.
It’s
not about drinking goats milk and having many wives.
Most
people think Islam is just a religion.
But,
it is actually a detailed way of living,
prescribed
by Allah, the merciful, the forgiving.
Peace,
submission, and morality,
Respect,
kindness and charity.
And
worshipping one God, the All Mighty,
This
is Islam.
It
demolishes the cloudiness and confusion in our brains.
Faith
in God is one thing Islam sustains.
It
makes clear our purpose of life, beginning and end.
