Islam is the religon, but not in the western meaning of religon . The western connotation of the term religion is something between the believer and the God . Islam is in all embracing way of life. It extends over the entire spectrum of life showing us how to conduct. Islam is derived from the Arabic root "salema" peace, purity, submission and obedience. Allah is not only the creator of muslims. He is also the creator off whole universe with all his creatures and mankind. Muslims are only those who submit to the will and commandments of Allah wholeheartedly, without any doubt.
Islam is the fastest growing religon in the world. Indeed one out of every five person on this earth is a muslim. The most complete way of life is found in the religon of islam. When we read the Quran and or the prophetic traditions, we find instructions regarding all aspects of life.political,social,economic,material,ethical,national & international. These instuctions provide us with all the details needed to perform a certain act. The prophetic traditions as far as showing us all the steps we need to follow even the etiquette of using washroom. Islam teaches us personal life manners means purity and cleanliness, a healthy diet,proper clothing, proper behaviours,laws of marriage and divorce, laws of inheritance. Islamic prescription earning one's living through decent labour is not only a duty but its a great virtue as well. So we can say that
Few ayats which highlights the islam is a complete code of life.
- Give full measure when you measure,and weight with an even balance. This is the best (way) and best in results.
- Treat with kindness your parents and kindered and orphans and those in need ;speak fair to the people be steadfast in prayer and give zakaah.
- A book we have sent down to you so that you may bring forth mankind from the darkness into light.
- They are invited to the book of Allah to settle down their disputes.
- Allah will not be merciful to those who are not merciful to mankind.
