What is Islam (Abridged)

People all over the world are looking for guidance, direction, peace of mind and contentment of the heart. The answer to man’s confusion is Islam. Islam is a way of life, brought into this world by Allah (God) via the last messenger, Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him).

Thus a Muslim is one who accepts the faith and practises that way of life. Those who are ignorant of the teachings of Islam, or do not act upon them, are not real Muslims.

There are three things necessary for anyone to be a true Muslim. Firstly, to learn the proper knowledge and teachings of Islam. Secondly, to believe in these teachings and thirdly, to live accordingly.

It is hoped that this booklet will serve as an introduction to Islam and its beautiful teachings.
