Witness Islam

Islam means submission to Allah. And understandably whoever submits to Allah is called a Muslim. Muslims believe that Al-Qur'an is the final revelation of Allah which was revealed to His last & final messenger Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)

"Muhammad(pbuh) is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the last of the Prophets."

(Al-Qur'an surah Al-Ahzab ch33:v40)

 Before His last revelation(i.e Al-Qur'an), Allah has sent three other revelations for example Taurat(Torah) to Moses(pbuh) and Injeel(Gospel) to Jesus(pbuh) and Allah has sent every nation and every people a messenger.

"And will make him[Isa(Jesus)](pbuh) a Messanger to the Children of Israel"

(Al-Qur'an surah Al-Imran ch3:v49)

"You are only a warner, and to every people there is a guide"

(Al-Qur'an surah Ar-Ra'd ch13:v7)

"You are only a warner.

Verily we have sent you with the truth, a bearer of glad tidings and a warner. And there never was a nation but a warner had passed among them.

And if they belie you, those before them also belied. Their messengers came to them with clear signs, and with the scriptures, and the book giving light

(Al-Qur'an surah Fatir ch35:v23,24,25)

The Qur'an itself mensions 25 of them, among them are Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, John, Jesus and many others (peace be upon them all), further more according to prophet muhammad(pbuh) it is 124,000 of them. Many people have the misconception that Islam is formed 14 hundred years ago and the founder of it is Prophet Muhammad(pbuh), infact Islam is there ever since man set foot on earth and every one whom Allah chose as His messenger conveyed the message (i.e Islamic monotheism [worship none but Allah alone])

The differance between all  the other messengers, prophets & prophet mohammad(pbuh) is that they were all sent to a specific community, country, or a region & their message was valid to a specific time period.where as prophet muhammad(pbuh)'s teachings(Hadith) and Al-Qur'an is valid forever.

"And We have not sent you (O Muhammad(pbuh)) except as a giver of glad tidings and a warner to all mankind, but most of men know not"

(Al-Qur'an surah Saba ch34:v28)

Islam deffers from many other religions since Islam cators both body and the soul while most other religions cators only the soul. more over Islam can be called as a way of life. Thus, Islam has solution for everything and it spreads wide.

According to a Muslim's belief Allah is the Creater, the Inventor of the universe, heavens, and everything therein which can be seen and unseen. The God Almighty hasn't got a beginning neighter an end, He doesn't eat, He doesn't sleep, He doesn't belong to a gender, there is nothing like Him, And He is pure.

"He is Allah, the Creater, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To Him belongs the Best Names(i.e Asma-ul-Husna)."

(Al-Qur'an surah Al-Hashr ch59:v24)

"And Allah has knowledge of what you reveal and what you conceal"

(Al-Qur'an surah An-Nur ch24:v29)

"And it is He who feeds but is not fed."

(Al-Qur'an surah Al-An'am ch6:v14)

"The Creater of the heavens and the earth. He has made you mates from yourselves, and for the cattle (also) mates. By this means He creates you (in the wombs).There is nothing like Him; and He is the all-Hearer, the All-Seer"

(Al-Qur'an surah Ash-Shura ch42:v11)

And He can be called upon by 99 names(i.e Asma-ul-Husna) which belongs only to Him. And whatever the name therin you call, it belongs to him. Hence the biggest sin in Islam is Shirk that is associating partners with Allah.

"Verily Allah forgives not(The sin of)setting up partners (in worship) with Him, but He forgives whom He wills sins other than that, and whoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, has indeed strayed far away"

(Al-Qur'an surah An-Nisa ch4:v116)
