What is Islam?

The term Islam means voluntarily "submitting" or "surrendering" God's will. It comes from the fundamental word "peace" meaning peace.

In the Qur'an, God defines the sole purpose of creating a human being to worship Him. Islam recognizes that humans can freely choose whether to obey God, but in the end, in our next life we ​​will be responsible for God's choice in this life. (Continue reading: The concept of God in Islam)

God sent prophets from Adam, including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and the last apostle, Muhammad, to teach others how to worship him. The position of Islam is that all these prophets convey the same message except Arabic and the only true God called Allah, and there is no god worth worshiping.

Islam places great emphasis on the belief that the soul gives life to human life. Likewise, without it, the human body will die and collapse. However, the soul is eternal, and when God calls upon everyone to respond to the action on the ground on the Day of Resurrection, it will rejoin the body. Through God's memory, obedience and worship, Muslims encourage individuals to concentrate on maintaining the soul's health. Rather than being overly dependent on the happiness of the body, there should be a right balance in the reinforcement of the soul.

Islam is a natural way of life that encourages people to pay close attention to God's relationships and their creation. Islam teaches that the soul finds true happiness and peace through good deeds and seeking the pleasure of God. In this context, the word Islam comes from the fundamental word "Salam" or peace.

What is Muslim? How do you figure out the phenomenon of human and history characterized by this diversity and inconsistency? What is "Islam" of Islamic philosophy or Islamic art? Should we talk about Muslim and Muslim? Should we distinguish Islam (religion) from Islam (culture)? Or should we completely abandon 'Muslim' as an analytical term? Among them, Shahab Al-Ahmad proposed a bold Muslim new concept that challenges the mainstream understanding based on "religious" and "cultural" categories, or their privileged laws and scriptures . He believes that these thought styles impede us understanding Islam, distorting it, weakening Islam, making it incoherent

Historically, the Islamic law has distinguished between Dar Al-Islam, Islamic residence, and Daruaruab, a war dwelling. As explained by the law scholar Muhammad Fadel, the Islamic state departs from historical Islamic law, and in the caliph's presentation I think that the Islamic state is the only Muslim state. Therefore, everyone living outside their territory is Daruaruba. This departure is unprecedented. However, from this premise of heretics everything is a book.

Recognition of today's religion is fascinated by etherealism; reality is Christian hymns ("This world is not my own") and the pursuit of Islam made the world "Allah's hometown - Islam" ing. However, in the traditional African religion, a strong emphasis is placed on the reality of culture, so unique differences are confirmed. In most African cultures, especially in West Africa, more reliable fortune-tellers come from neighboring villages when there is doubt about the authenticity of the fortune-teller. This is not a ritual kill to protect the traditional religious forms of Africa. Perhaps such events are suspicious, which also requires Africans to fully accept the phenomenological understanding of religious beliefs.
