Linguistically, the word Islam means voluntary “Submission” or “Surrender” to the Will of God. It is derived from the root word “Salam”, meaning peace.
Technically, Islam is the monotheistic faith of all prophets and messengers of The Almighty God. Finally, it was revealed to Prophet Muhammad through Gabriel, the angel from God “Allah”.
Practically, Islam is: to take witness that there is only One God worthy of worship, that is Allah and that Muhammad is his servant and last Messenger, observe ‘Salah’ (that is Islamic five daily prayers), Fast the month of Ramadan, pay Alms, and to perform ‘Pilgrimage’ to The sacred House of God whenever it’s possible.
👉 Therefore, Islam is not a new religion, but rather it is the same message preached by all earlier prophets such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jacob, and Jesus,… (peace be upon them all).
