About Islam
A way of life
Islam is the way of life for those who believe in God and want to live a life in worship and obedience to none but God. The reward is forgiveness from God and an everlasting life in the Heaven.Foundation of Belief
Belief in one God, Allah (the Arabic name for God), constitutes the very foundation of Islam. There is no deity except Allah. He is indivisible and absolutely transcendent. God is the Almighty, the Creator and the Sustainer of the universe, Who is similar to nothing and nothing is comparable to Him. Worship and obedience belongs to Allah and Allah alone. Joining other gods with God is an unforgivable sin. Any one who joins other gods with God has strayed far, far away from the Truth.The Prophet Muhammad 
Prophet Muhammad was born in Makkah, a city in the present-day Saudi
Arabia in 570 C.E. He is a direct descendant of Prophet Ishmael, the
first son of Prophet Abraham. Peace and blessings of God be on all His
prophets. Muhammad received divine revelations (The Holy Quran) over a
period of 23 years in the seventh century of the Christian Era. Muslims
believe that he is the last Messenger sent by God for the guidance of
mankind until the Day of Judgment. He is the model for humanity of all
walks of life to follow until the Last Hour. God sent him as a mercy for
the worlds. The primary sources of knowledge are the Holy Quran and the
Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad . Anyone wanting to live a life in worship and
obedience to God should follow these teachings.
The Words of God
The Holy Qur'an (also written as Koran) is the Divine Book revealed to Muhammad. The Holy Qur'an confirms what was revealed to
earlier messengers of God and serves as the Criterion of right and
wrong. The Qur'an is the only divine Book extant in its original text
and is therefore the only source of Guidance from God for all mankind.
The Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad refers to his sayings and actions, his approvals and
disapprovals. The Sunnah is collected in books separate from the Holy
Qur'an and are known as Hadith books. While the Holy Quran is 100% word
of God revealed to the Prophet, not every Hadith is authentic. Early
Muslim scholars have classified hadith into various categories ranging
from different levels of authenticity to false hadith. For more

Reverts to Islam Significant numbers of thinking ethnic Westerners are
attracted to Islam. It is sobering to realize that converts sometimes
even include mature Bible-college-trained evangelicals, and it is
important to appreciate that Islam appears to offer an attractive and
very certain view of life. Sites such as and thetruereligion.org exists
to share such a view, complete with testimonies of converts to Islam.
