Islam - Between Myth and
Reality
Islam is the most misunderstood religion in the world and
this misunderstanding is being used to promote those who oppose
it. In such a climate, it's necessary to portray the reality. The
beauty, peace and strength of Islam knows no equal and is rarely
seen in the world today.
All praise is due to Allah, the Creator of all. I bear witness
that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah and that
Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His last messenger to mankind.
May Allah bless the Prophet, his family and companions and all
those who strive in His way until the Day of Judgement.
The message of Islam is simple. It is the call to worship and
obey Allah, the Al Mighty - to obey Him and follow His Guidance,
which will ultimately lead mankind to peace, happiness and
success.
It is the message to mankind which began in the beginning of time
with Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) and was completed with the
advent of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Islam coincides
with the nature of man (fitra) ; it outlines the necessary
factors and environment which will enable mankind to achieve
their fullest potential in this life and the next. It marks the
boundaries for human behavior while at the same time keeping back
the tides of evil and confusion (fitna) that prevents man from
exercising his freedom and developing himself.
May Allah bless and guide humanity to all that is right and good
and make us wise enough to keep away from evil and to understand
the best way of overcoming the problems which surround us.
