The word ‘Islam’ is an Arabic word that means ‘submitting and surrendering your will to Almighty God (Allah).’ The word comes from the same root as the Arabic word ‘salam’, which means peace. Islam teaches that only by submitting one’s will to Allah can one obtain true peace both in this life with one self, others and the environment, and in the life to come in the hereafter. The message of Islam is meant for the entire world and anyone who accepts this message becomes a Muslim.

The Arabic word ‘Muslim’ literally means‘ someone who submits to the Will of Allah.’ Being a Muslim entails complete acceptance and active obedience to the revealed Will of Almighty Allah. A Muslim is a person who freely accepts to base his beliefs, values and faith on the Will of Allah.
Allah is the Arabic name for Almighty God and is used by Arabic speakers regardless of religious inclination and can be used interchangeably with all of the names that Allah has given Himself.
In Islam the most important concept is the fact that Allah is One and nothing shares His attributes. He has no partners, no parents or offspring and is the ultimate Creator of the universe. He is the One who was the beginning and will continue after the end as we know it. Allah has created all things with a design and purpose. Included in this is the creation of the Heavens and the Earth and all of mankind. Allah is same Creator that has been worshipped throughout time as the Originator of the universe.

The Noble Qur’an is the final revelation of the Will of Almighty Allah to all of mankind, which was conveyed through the Angel Gabriel, in Arabic, to the Prophet Muhammad (May the Peace and Blessing of Allah be upon him) in its sound, word and meaning over a period of 23 years.
The Qur’an (sometimes spelled Koran) was written down during the Prophet’s lifetime and memorised verbatim. It has been publicly and continually recited until the present day, therefore it has been perfectly preserved. The language of the Qur’an, Arabic, is still a living language to millions of people, so the Qur’an is still read in its original language by millions of people. Even today there are millions of people who have memorised the entire Qur’an, some as young as 3.
