What is Islam?

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Islam is not a new relegion, but the same truth that God revealed through all His prophets to every people . For a fifth of the world's population, Islam is both a relegion and a complete way of life. Muslims follow a relegion of peace, mercy, and fogiveness, and the majority have nothing to do with the extremely grave events, which have come to be associated with their faith.

Islam means "submission to the will of God". Muslims accept the Qur’an, as the word of God revealed to His last and final prophet, Mohammed (peace be upon him). Islam states that Allah sent messengers and prophets throughout the ages with the message of Unity of God, and accountability in the Hereafter. Islam thus makes it an article of faith to believe in all the earlier prophets, starting with Adam, and continuing with Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, John and Jesus amongst many others (may peace be on them all).
