Discover Islam
Welcome to Exploring Islam

Peace and Blessings of God be upon you! You are now standing at the Gateway of
God's Greatest Gift to Man: Islam, which is the Complete Way of Life as taught
to us by all the Prophets of God.

We request you to enter this portal, with a free mind and a free heart, looking
for God's Truth. Hopefully, this site will help you to get a true understanding
of Islam, which is the Life of about a billion and half people inhabiting our
planet.

You get authentic information about Islam here, so that you have the chance of
knowing what Islam really is. Please have the patience to carefully read the
following pages and compare the information you get here with whatever you had
thought about Islam previously. If required, you can supplement your knowledge
with further reading of the Original Sources of Islam and other books by
scholars who have studied Islam in depth and live in Islam. If you as an
outsider, observe those people who call themselves Muslims, you may not see much
of Islam in them; or their life may misrepresent Islam, as in the case of the
followers of any religion, for that matter. If you want to study what
Christianity is, you go to the great scholars of Christianity as well as to the
Bible, the Holy Book of Christianity. So also in the case of Islam, where you
need to get information about it from the most authentic sources. Then only can
you judge Islam as well as Muslims as to how they really compare with the
followers of other religions, or how they fare in their observance of this Great
Religion.

Introduction:

Islam is the religion decreed for mankind by God*, Who revealed it to His
prophets; and they in turn, taught it to the people around them. The word, Islam
means 'Peace' and also 'Submission to the Will of God'. From the beginning of
mankind on the face of the earth, revelations came to God's chosen prophets; and
the first prophet was the first man, Adam and the last Prophet was Prophet
Muhammad, (peace be upon him), through whom the Religion of God was perfected.
And in between, thousands of prophets came to the peoples who inhabited
different lands in different periods of history. The Holy Qur'an, the Scripture
of Muslims, mentions by name only twenty five of these prophets, of whom the
most important are Abraham (Ibraheem [pbuh]), Moses (Moosa [pbuh]), Noah (Nooh
[pbuh]), Jesus (Eesa [pbuh]) and Muhammad [pbuh].

All these prophets of God taught basically the same message of Islam to their
people.

The word “Islam” today is mostly used to refer to the final form of the Religion
of God taught by the last prophet, Muhammad (pbuh). It is often counted as the
latest of the three monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In
this sense, Islam emerged in the Arabian peninsula, which we know today as Saudi
Arabia, in 612 C.E. through Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Judaism is believed to be
based on the teachings and the laws of Prophet Moses, while Christianity is said
to take its social and moral codes from the teachings of Prophet Jesus. All
three religions are believed to have their roots in the teachings of the
patriarch Abraham, who also was a great Prophet of God.

The Holy Qur'an states in Chapter 2 (verses, 124-130), that God appointed
Abraham an Imam or leader to the people. But when he prayed to God to bless his
children too, God answered that He would bless only the good among them and not
the evil doers. And God took a covenant from Abraham and his son Ishmael
(Isma'eel [pbuh]) to sanctify the House of God (that is Ka'aba) at Makkah, for
those who come to pray there and compass it around. And Abraham prayed again to
make his children Muslims or people obedient to God; and also to send among them
a Messenger who would rehearse God's signs to them and instruct them in
scripture and wisdom and purify them.

In answer to this prayer of Abraham, God sent a Messenger to the Land of Ka'ba
from among Abraham's own children, and he was the Last Prophet of God, Muhammad
(Peace be on him).

And it was through Muhammad (peace be upon him), that the Guidance of God for
mankind was completed and perfected. Muhammad (peace be on him) taught the
people, the Book of God called the Qur'an, and instructed them as to how they
should lead a life in Submission to God. The details of the Guidance of God
exemplified in the life of the Prophet, are called the Sunnah or the Example of
the Prophet. The Qur'an and the Sunnah together form the foundation of Islam;
and it is on this foundation that the Great House of Islam stands.
