  8. Theachers in İslam • 1- The book of universe • 2- The Scriptures(Torah,Psalms,Bible,Quran) • 3- The Messengers • 4- Conscience

  9. The Meaning of islam 2 • Islammeans complete Surrender & Submission of one’s will to the Will of God the All Mighty. It is the sincere acceptance of the Teachings and Guidance of God the All Mighty revealed to all His Messengers (Pbut). It enjoins knowledge in the Oneness and Sovereignty of the One True God, Allah [Swt] which makes man aware of the meaningfulness of the Universe and of his place in it. It is a Faith based on Proof and evidence.

  10. Introduction3 • In Islam, a Believer or a Muslim (doer of Islam) strives in his utmost to seek the Truth (Al-Haqq) in obedience to God the all Migthy as spoken by all His Prophets (Pbuh), i.e. • ‘And they say: None will enter Paradise except one is a Jew or a Christian. That is merely their wishful thinking.’ Say; ‘Produce your proof if you should be truthful.’ Q 2:111; • Also Q 3:93-94; Bible Jn 8:31-32.

  11. Introduction4 • “That is the book about which there is no doubt a guidance to those who are conscious of Allah; Who believe in the unseen, establish prayer and spend out of what we have provided for them; And who believe in what has been revealed to you O Mohammad! and in the hereafter and they are certain in faith; Those who are upon right guidance from their Lord and it of it is those who are successful”.Q 2:2-5

  12. Proof & Evidences in the Qur’an and in the Sunnah (Examples of Prophet Muhammad [Pbuh]) • Based on Scriptural history among the descendants of Prophet Abraham [Pbuh] descended the Jews; the Christians and the Muslims from the lineage of Prophets Isaac and Ishmael [Pbut]. These three (3) groups of people are supposed to be followers of the Way of Life of Prophet Abraham [Pbuh] were given Revelations from God the All Mighty. Torah to Prophet Moses [Pbuh]; Gospel to Prophet Jesus [Pbuh] and the Qur’an to Prophet Muhammad [Pbuh]. There was only one Way of Life granted by God the All Mighty, for GOD is only ONE.

  13. Remnants of Proofs confirmed by the Qur’an can still be found in present Bible (RSV ’71and NIV). 1. From the Torah, Deut.18:18, God Almighty spoke to Moses [Pbuh]: “I will raise a Prophet like you (like Moses); from among their brethren; and I will put My Words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. And whoever will not give heed to My Words which he shall speak inMy Name, I will require it of him.”

  14. Deut. 33:23, “The Lord came from Si’nai, and dawned from Seir (Palestine) upon us; He shone forth from Mount Paran (Mecca & Medina, Gen. 21:21), he came from the ten thousands of holy ones, with flaming fire at his right hand; so they followed in thy steps, receiving direction from thee. When Moses commanded us the Law, as possession for the Assembly of Jacob.” • Psalm 19:7-8 RSV; “The Law of the Lord is Perfect.” 2Sam22:31 NIV; “As for God, His WAY is Perfect; the WORD of the Lord is Flawless.”

  15. In the Gospel Matt. 5:17 Christ [Pbuh] said: “Think not that I have come to abolish the Law and the (teachings of the) Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them (follow and observe) them.” • Also Christ [Pbuh] said in Jn 16:12-14: “I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of Truth (Counselor, Periclytos in Greek) comes, he will guide you into all the Truth;for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things to come.He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.”

  16. Muslims sincerely believe in the Scriptures of Prophet Abraham (Pbuh); the Torah and the Gospels as God the All Mighty commanded them. One cannot be a Muslim without believing all the Revelations of God before the Qur’an. • God the All Mighty said in the Qur’an 2:136: • “Say (O Believers!): ‘We believe in Allah, and what has been sent to us and that which has been sent to Abraham and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the descendants, and what which has been given to Moses and Jesus, and what which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are in submission to Him (in Islam) as Muslims.”

  17. In Qur’an 42:13 God the All Mighty said: • “He (Allah Swt) has ordained for you the same religion (or Deen Way of Life) which He enjoined for Noah and that which We revealed to you (O Muhammad), and that We have enjoined for Abraham, Moses, and Jesus to establish the Religion and not be divided therein. Difficult for those who associate others with Allah is that to which you invite them, Allah chooses for Himself whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back to Him.”

  18. Also God the All Mighty said in Qur’an 3:67: • “Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward the truth, a true Muslim submitting to Allah (Hanifa), and he was not of the polytheists.”

  19. Islam as a Verb (Action) Surrender to God Almighty Submission to His Will Obey His Commandments Sincere Worship Only for Him Peace of mind, heart & soul Islam as a Noun (6) Six Articles of Faith or Belief (5) Five Pillars of Action Complete Way of Life Rights and Limitations Moderation in all things What the word ISLAM means in English?It is both a Verb and a Noun

  20. SURRENDER This is explicitly understood as God the Almighty says in the Qur’an 3:19 : “Truly, the Way of Life (religion) that is acceptable with Allah is Islam (Submission). Those who were given the Scripture did not differ except, out of mutual jealousy, after knowledge had come to them. And whoever disbelieves in the signs of Allah, then surely He is Swift in calling to account.” This way of Surrender requires full consciousness and willingness to Submit to the Will of the One True God.

  21. SUBMISSION • “But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (Muhammad, Pbuh) as judge in all disputes between them, and find no resistance against your decisions, and accept (the decisions) with full submission.” Qur’an 4:65 Total submission is required after the surrender and some terms have to be set forth by Allah to be understood by the Muslims. There can be no option in the matter as Allah says in the following verse in the Qur’an 33:36

  22. “It is not fitting for the believing man nor believing woman, that whenever Allah and His Messenger have decided any matter, that they should have any other opinion. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, they had indeed strayed into a plain error. ”Qur’an 33:36 Whatever Allah and His Messenger have set out as being the Way of Islam, it is incumbent on the Believer, man or woman to obey and follow completely. One must consciously and conscientiously give oneself to the service of Allah.

  23. OBEDIENCE • “And obey Allah and His Messenger.” Qur’an 3:132 • O you who believe! Obey Allah and His Messenger and those of you who are in authority. If you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if you believe in Allah and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for final determination.” Qur’an 4:59 • “He who obeys the Messenger has indeed obeyed Allah, but he who turns away, then we have not sent you as a watcher over them.” Qur’an 4:80 This means to act on what Allah [Swt] enjoins us all to do in the Qur’an and what His beloved Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) encouraged us to do in his Sunnah (his examples and sayings personifying the Qur’an).

  24. SINCERITY & PURITY OF INTENTION Allah [Swt] is Pure and only accepts pure and sincere intention. So the one who Surrenders, Submits, and Obeys Him should have sincere, clean, honest and pure heart. Prophet Muhammad [Pbuh] said: “Verily, deeds are rewarded by intention. And everyone will have the reward for that which he has intended.” Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol.1 # 1.

  25. Sincere intention is the key to success or failure of the Muslim. All that one does must be for the sake of Allah [Swt] and not for the chance to show off or call attention to himself or herself. If there is even a speck of pride or showing off for the people instead of doing for Allah, then the whole matter will be rejected by Allah [Swt] on the Day of Judgment. This is due to the fact that Allah wants Purity of Intention and Purity of deed.

  26. PEACE • Peace or Salam is mentioned many times in the Al-Qur’an al-Kareem and it is the most sought after condition in life for every human being on Earth. • Allah [Swt] in the Qur’an said: “He is Allah besides Whom there is none worthy of worship, The King, The Holy, The Peace , The Watcher, The All Mighty, The Compeller, The Supreme. Glory be to Allah! He is above all that they try to associate with Him as partners.” Qur’an 59:23 On this earth, humans strive to achieve peace and tranquility in their lives, however Peace can only be achieved when all the four conditions are met. It is the inevitable result of doing the four conditions.

  27. However, it does not imply those people who submits their will to the Will of God the All Mighty and are loved by the Creator shall not be subjected to a Test. For Allah [Swt] said: “Do they think that they will be left alone on saying, ‘We believe and that they will not be tested’? For sure We will test them as We have tested those who came before them, to show them the truthful of the honest and the liars in their falsehood.” Qur’an 29:2-3 Once we humble ourselves, rid ourselves of egotism and submit totally to Allah [Swt] and to Him exclusively, in Faith and in Action, we will surely feel Peace in our hearts that transcends externally as well.

  28. SIX (6) BELIEFS A MUSLIM MUST BELIEVE IN • Allah [Swt]-Believe that God the All Mighty is One, Unique, Unlike His Creation, Perfect in everyway, Not like His creation and He is not in His creation. • Angels-Made from white light, follow Allah’s order perfectly, never makes mistakes and never disobedient (devils are not fallen angels). • Books- Suhoof, Torah, Zubur (Psalms), Enjil (Gospels) & Qur’an (The Recitation).

  29. Prophets – Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus, Muhammad and others mentioned in the Qur’an [Pbut]. • Day of Resurrection- All people, believers and disbelievers will be resurrected on the Judgment Day in real flesh and blood bodies to be judged. • Divine Destiny – Allah [Swt] has complete control of all that happens, both good and evil and He has full knowledge of everything.

  30. FIVE PILLARS OF ACTION THAT A MUSLIM MUST PRACTICE • Shahadah– Declare that Allah is One and the Only worthy to be Worshipped and Muhammad [Pbuh] is His Last Messenger. • Five (5) Daily Salah – The special form of worship of standing, bowing and prostrating to Allah while facing Mecca. • Fasting in the month of Ramadhan – Not eating or drinking during the daylight hours for the month of Ramadhan (Lunar calendar).

  31. Charity or Alms Tax, Zakat -2 1/2%of excess wealth distributed annually to the poor and the needy. • Hajj or Pilgrimage to Mecca - once in a lifetime when Allah [Swt] provides the way, and it is safe to do so.

  32. ISLAM – A COMPLETE WAY OF LIFE Deen al-Islam or The Way of Submission to our One True God or Allah [Swt], the Lord of all that exist is from Him Who created and sustained all that we see and we do not see. “Alyawma ‘akmaltu lakum Deenakum wa’atmamtu ‘alaykum ni’matee wa radeetu lakumul-’Islama Deena.” Qur’an 5:3 “This day, I have perected your religion for you, completed My Favor upon you, and have chosen for you ISLAM as your Way of life (or religion).” Qur’an 5:3

  33. In the Qur’an are Injunctions and Commandments which concern virtually all facets of one’s personal, family, civic life. These include such matters as diet, clothing, personal hygiene, interpersonal relations, business ethics, responsibilities towards parents, spouse and children, marriage, divorce and inheritance, civil and criminal law, fighting in defense of Islam, relations with non-Muslims, and so much more.

  34. In conclusion,Muslims believes that man forced to realize that Islam is a complete Way of life for the human being. Everything is covered in Islam from birth to death to live in the complete submission to the Will of the One Who Created man in the first place.

  35. Moderation “All things in moderation” is the famous saying. Islam stresses the importance of this balance within the human being’s lives by telling us in the Qur’an that Muslims are not in the excess. Rather, we are to be in the “middle path” neither extreme to the right nor to the left. Allah [Swt] the All Mighty calls us the “Balanced Nation.”

  39. Monogamy is ideal • The concession for polygyny came with many stipulations which make it clear that the ideal in islam is monogamy.
