What is Islam?
The most complete way of life is found in the religion of
Islam. The word Islam means, “surrender”
to the will of God (Allahin Arabic). Since there is only one God and mankind is
one species, the religion that God has
ordained for human beings is one. So why the
different religions?
God in His mercy had
sent messengers to convey His message, to different peoples, in different times. Each prophet came with
guidance and miracles that were relevant
for his time, and for his people, but the message was the same: That there is only one God, and worship is for him
alone. This "Islam" was the
religion brought by all the prophets of God. Islam was the religion of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus (peace
be upon them all). God has in His Grace,
addressed this issue to man in His final revelation, the Noble Quran.
“Seek they other then
the religion of God, when unto Him submits whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or
unwillingly, and unto Him they will be
returned.
Say: We believe in
God and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac
and Jacob and his sons, and that which
was given to Moses and Jesus and the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between them, and unto Him we
have surrendered.”
(Quran 3:83-84)
“And for every nation
there is a messenger.”
(Quran 10:48)
“And we sent Noah
unto his people (and he said): O my people! Serve God. You have no other god save Him. Will you not ward off evil?”
(Quran 23:23)
Man was to follow each
prophet when he came, till the advent of another prophet Thus the
latter prophet was followed since there
was new guidance relevant to that latter time.
Miracles were also for that time and for those people. They cannot
be re-demonstrated now. All this is
evident for example, when Jesus (pbuh) said to
the Children of Israel:
“And I have come
confirming that which was before me of the Torah and to make lawful some of that which was forbidden unto you. I come
to you with a clear sign from your Lord,
so keep your duty to God and obey me.”
(Quran 3:50)
Since these messengers were
sent only for their people and their time, mankind has since tampered
with those previous revelations (Torah,
Gospel etc), and the message of those
respective prophets has been perverted, leaving behind much confusion
and hearsay:
“And lo! There is a party of
them who distort the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think
what they say is from the Scripture when
it is not. And they say: It is from God, when
it is not from God; and they speak a lie concerning God knowingly.”
(Quran 3:78)
Consequently, God has sent the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as His last messenger to
mankind. This implies that he must come
with a complete and clear guidance,anda clear proof, for all humanity and all times till the Last Day.
Otherwise the message is void. Also, the
message must be confirming the previous messengers of before. The revelation, guidance, and miracle he received
is the Quran.
“O people of the Scripture! Now has our messenger come unto you to make things plain
after an interval (of cessation) of the
messengers, lest you should say: There came not unto us a messenger of cheer nor any warner.”
(Quran 5:19)
Prophets after prophets came to reclaim lost humanity.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came with the
seal that perfected Islam. The message contains the teachings of all the previous messengers, and
in addition it contains what will be
necessary until Judgement. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has been sent forall mankind. Thus there will be no other
messenger after him.
“Nothing is said to
thee (Muhammad) save what was said unto the messengers before thee.”
(Quran 41:43)
“Say (O Muhammad): O
mankind! Lo! I am a messenger of God to you all- (the messenger of) Him unto whom belongs the Sovereignty of
the heavens and the earth. There is no
God save Him.”
(Quran 7:158)
“He is the messenger
of God and the Seal of the Prophets. And God is Aware of all things.”
(Quran 33:40)
