Islam is the
religion decreed for mankind by God, Who revealed it to His prophets; and
they in turn, taught it to the people around them.
The word, Islam
means 'Peace' and also 'Submission to the Will of God'. From the beginning
of mankind on the face of the earth, revelations
came to God’s
chosen prophets; and the first prophet was the first man, Adam and the
last Prophet was Prophet Muhammad, through
whom the Religion
of God was perfected. And in between, thousands of prophets came to the
peoples who inhabited different lands in
different periods
of history. The Holy Qur’an, the Scripture of Muslims, mentions by name
only twenty five of these prophets, of whom
the most important
are Abraham (Ibraheem), Moses (Moosa), David (Dawood), Jesus (Eesa) and
Muhammad].
All these
prophets of God taught basically the same message of Islam to their people. The word “Islam”
today is mostly used to refer to the final form of the Religion of God
taught by the last prophet, Muhammad (pbuh). It is
often counted
as the latest of the three monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity
and Islam. In this sense, Islam emerged in the Arabian
peninsula,
which we know today as Saudi Arabia, in 612 C.E. through Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh). Judaism is believed to be based on the
teachings and
the laws of Prophet Moses, while Christianity is said to take its social
and moral codes from the teachings of Prophet Jesus. All
three religions
are believed to have their roots in the teachings of the patriarch Abraham,
who also was a great Prophet of God.
