What is Islam and who are Muslims?
Islam is a natural and complete way of life which encourages one to give due attention to their relationship with God and His creation. It teaches that souls find true happiness and peace through performing good actions which are approved by God and which benefits both the society and the individual himself/herself.
The message of Islam is simple: to believe in and to worship the One True God alone, and to accept Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as His final Messenger.
The word “Islam” means “submission to God”, and its followers are known as Muslims, who can be from any racial or ethnic background.
What is the purpose of life?
God did not create humans to simply wander aimlessly. Rather, we have a higher purpose – to acknowledge and worship God alone, so that we live upon the guidance of our Creator. This guidance enables us to live a successful and blessed life in all aspects, in this world and the hereafter. The test of one’s faith is in using one’s intellect and reasoning abilities to contemplate and recognize God’s signs and to live according to His guidance.
“In God’s ultimate wisdom, He gave humans free will as a test to see who will willingly follow His path.”
