The word Islam is an Arabic word that means “complete submission to the will of Almighty God” • The name also expresses a deep spiritual meaning as well as an overall outlook on life and the concept of worship • Most other religions are named after their founder or ethnic group
First Aspect • The Islamic religion believes the is no monopoly in God • Success depends on a persons actions and beliefs. • It has nothing to do with race, religion, or family status • Allah is for all mankind, not just to a single religion or person
Second Aspect • A world wide brotherhood • Though mankind is a single unit, we all belong to one community • Muslims believe we are all creations of Allah • Surely, this brotherhood of yours is a single brotherhood and I am your lord [4:1]
