If you think about such issues, you will ask yourself whether such a religion actually exists. The answer is “yes”. Indeed, this one, unified religion has existed since the beginning of creation, revealed by Allah to His chosen prophets who were sent to His peoples. “Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam.

Those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) did not differ except, out of mutual jealousy, after knowledge had come to them. And whoever disbelieves in the Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, then surely, Allah is Swift in calling to account.”, said the Almighty Allah (Surat: The Family of Imran (Ali-Emran), verse no. 19). He also said: “And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.” (Surat: The Family of Emran (Ali-Emran), verse no. 85.( Therefore, all religions came from Allah, but some people have erroneously named thier religions after thier prophets according to each era. This inappropriate designation is the origin of dispute and fanaticism among several communities. However, this division has caused humanity to forget about the true religion to a great extent. Islam was called “Mohammedanism”, attributed to Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him), as other religions were also called after the names of their prophets, despite that all prophets recognize a single faith and urge their people to worship only one God – “Allah.” Although I am not a preacher, I feel that it is my duty to explain briefly the meaning of this religion because if the followers of other religions were to remain ignorant of Islam and its teachings, their prejudgment of Islam would lead them to misunderstand the foundations of this religion and will never be guided.

ISLAM

The word “Islam” means peace among mankind and submission to the will of Allah. It also means peace
between Man and himself, on one hand, and between him/herself and others on the other hand as well as
piety to the Almighty Allah. These meanings are all grouped in the Holy Qur`an where the individual can
learn how to do good for others and purify him/herself by applying its teachings. Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) is the last but not the only prophet of Islam. Moslems believe in all previous prophets: they believe in Abraham, Moses
and Jesus (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon them). Allah has sent those prophets to mankind to
guide them to fulfill His will and to live happily.Qur`an is the holy scripture of Islam, which enfolds the true teachings of all the Holy Scriptures. “And we have sent down to you (O Muhammad) the Book (this Qur`an) in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and Muhaymin (trustworthy in highness and a witness) over it (old Scriptures). So judge among them by what Allah has revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging away from the truth that has come to you. To each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear way. If Allah had willed, He would have made you one nation, but that (He) may test you
in what He has given you; so compete in good deeds.
