In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful!
I greet everyone with Peace!
Allah is an Arabic word meaning: “The God”.
The short meaning of Islam is Peace; but the best meaning is “entire submission to the Will of Allah”.
If we submit entirely to Allah's Will then we would truly have Peace. A person who submits to the Will Allah is called Muslim. A Muslim is one who is trying to submit to the Will of Allah.
Everyone is born Muslim, i.e., man is born with the innate desire to submit to the Will of the Creator!
This is the month of RAMDAN. Today over one and half billion Muslims are fasting for the Pleasure of Allah.
Ramadan is the lunar month in which the Holy Qur'an was brought down from the highest heaven to the lowest heaven and reviewed to Prophet Muhammad by the Angel Gabriel, the messenger angel; it took twenty three years for the entire Qur'an to be revealed to him.
The reason for the Qur'an at this time is that man had gone far astray of Allah's teachings to man. Man had mixed His words with falsehood and was worshiping idols.
Therefore, the Qur'an is not only for Muslims, but is for all Mankind!
The Qur'an is not part of Allah's creation, but is Allah's speech!
Allah is speaking directly to Mankind!
Allah is giving Mankind good news and a warning!
The good news is that if man worships only Him and seek Allah's Pleasure in every thing he does, man will enter paradise on the day of Judgment.
The warning is that if man chooses not to obey Allah and worships Him any way he thinks is okay than he is destined to the Hellfire.
In the Qur'an Allah is telling Mankind exactly how He wants man to worship Him.
Allah says: "There is no god worthy of worship but Allah; and Muhammad is Messenger and Prophet." Muslims accept and love all 124,000 of Allah's prophets with Prophet Muhammad being the last.
Allah wants all of us to believe this and act on it by accepting Islam as our way of life or religion.
Let is pray!
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Say: He is Allah, The One and and Only,
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute,
He begets not nor is He begotten, and there is none like unto Him,
Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds;
Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgment.
You do we worship and Your aid we seek.
Show us the straight way; the way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace; those whose portion is not wrath and who go not astray.
O Allah! Bless everyone here to seek your Pleasure by by submitting to Your Will in Islam!
Amen
