Islam?

Assalamualaikum and Howdy..!

Based on my post title, what comes into your little mind? Well, here I'm gonna tell you a bit about a religion called Islam. I believe that you've heard the named before, haven't you?

Basically, I will write about 5 important points for you to get a clue, what Islam is all about. The 5 points are:

1. Islam
2. Muslim
3. Qur'an
4. Muhammad
5. God

Keep in mind that this is just a brief, alright? Deeper understanding will come later. Shall we start now?

The first point is about the name of religion itself, Islam. Actually, the word 'ISLAM' comes from Arabic means peace and submission. As a total, Islam means 

" A total submission towards One God who created this universe without force "

Which means that no one or nothing is forcing something to do this total submission to One God who is actually a creator of this amazing universe/world.

And Muslim (2nd point) can be interpreters as

" Anything and anyone who is willingly to submit totally to one God who created this universe without force including the moon, the sun, starts and us "

Here, we could see the connection between Islam and Muslim, right? Islam is a total submission and Muslim is the submitter. Alright, you must be confuse, why the moon, the sun, stars and us can be Muslim? Lets take a look again at the meaning of Islam. The One God who is actually the creator of this universe, rules this universe, right? So, the moon, stars, the sun are in the universe, right? And they never fail to follow the rules of the universe, agree? the moon always appears on time, the sun never stop shining and our body, keeps on working without fail (except for some circumstances). All of them follow the rules stated by the creator which is the One God. 

Now lets move on to the third point, Qur'an. Basically, it is actually a manual of life. A guidance for us to live this live. Without guide, how can one live his/her live? just like gadgets. You need to know how to operate them before you can really use it, right? you'll read the manual given, perhaps. Nowadays you can see Qur'an which has been collected and published as a book. Now, how actually this manual came to the earth?

To answer this, lets go to the fourth point.

Have you ever heard a name called Muhammad before? What about Jesus, Moses, Abraham? basically, Muhammad is same like the latter names, he is a messenger and he is the seal of all messenger. So, what does a messenger did? Messenger is like a connector between us and One God who created this universe. He got messages and delivered it to the mankind. Nowadays, there is no messenger for Muhammad is the seal and Qur'an is what we have now as a guidance for us to live our live.

Now I will reveal to you what is God? Who is the One God? Lets look again to the meaning of Islam, "One God who created this universe". God is actually the creator and He the only one God. Well, do you agree with me that we only need One God instead of two? What will happen to a country with two rulers? What will be happen to London if there are two Queens? See the logic there. One God is enough to rule over this universe. He has no family. He does not need any beginning and ending but we as His creation do have both. He is the creator and other than Him is the creations including us. We are His creation because He is the Creator. Agree?

Well, if you disagree with me, then tell me why, okay, we'll discuss bout it in details...

So, this is it, a brief about a religion called Islam. I'll come back later with more explanation about this total submission towards One God who created this universe without force.
