Religion of Islam
Islammeans submitting to Allaah by affirming that He is One (Tawheed) and submitting
to Him by obeying Him and disavowing shirk and its people.
Allaah The Almighty says:
{Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allaah is Islam.}[Aal-‘Imraan: 19]
He The Almighty also says:
{And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from
him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.}[Aal-‘Imraan: 85]
All of the Prophets, peace be upon them all, come with such general meaning of
Islam. Allaah The Almighty says on the behalf of Nooh (Noah), peace be upon him:
{And if you turn away [from my advice] then no payment have I asked of you. My
reward is only from Allaah, and I have been commanded to be of the Muslims.”}
[Yoonus: 72]
He The Almighty also says:
{And Abraham instructed his sons [to do the same] and [so did] Jacob, [saying], “O
my sons, indeed Allaah has chosen for you this religion, so do not die except while
you are Muslims.”}[Al-Baqarah: 132]
He The Almighty also says:
{But when Jesus felt [persistence in] disbelief from them, he said, “Who are my
supporters for [the cause of] Allaah?” The disciples said,” We are supporters for
Allaah. We have believed in Allaah and testify that we are Muslims [submitting to
Him].}[Aal-‘Imraan: 52]
It was narrated that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “The Prophets
are like brothers from one father, their mothers are different but their religion is one.”
