THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING ISLAM
The one upon whom be Allah’s Blessing and Peace said:
“A Muslim is a person whose tongue and hand is safeguarded against,
and an emigrant is a person who has left that which Allaah prohibited!.”
(Agreed upon)
He also said:
“A believer is a person whom people trust!”
Islam also provides peace on an international level established through
friendly relationships that are founded on security, stability and the foundations
of Islam. Moreover, a Muslim society does not transgress against another
society, especially those that are sincere in Faith, nor set up enmity against
its adherents. According to the words of Allah ():
O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely and perfectly
and do not follow the footsteps of Shayttaan. Indeed, he is to you a
clear enemy. (2: 208)
The Faith of Islam enjoins justice and non-oppression, even with those
who set up enmity against them. Allah () said:
O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah,
witnesses in Justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you
from being just. Be just; that is nearer to Righteousness; and fear
Allah; indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do. (5: 8)
As-Salaam, The Peaceful, one of the All Praised’s Names () has said:
He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity, the Sovereign, the
Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted
in Might, the Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever
they associate with Him. (59: 23)
As-Salam, is one of the names of Paradise. Allah the Most High said:
For them will be the Home of Peace with their Lord, and He will be
their protecting Friend because of what they used to do. (6: 127)
