As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
(Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you).
The word Islam comes from the Arabic root word Salamat, which carries the dual meaning of submission (to the will of Allah "Subhanahu wa ta'ala") and peace. In a spiritual context, Islam means achieving true peace of mind and heart through voluntary submission to the Creator.
The Oneness of God (Tawhid): That Allah "Subhanahu wa ta'ala" is one, unique, and has no partners or equals.
The Angels: Pure, spiritual beings created by Allah "Subhanahu wa ta'ala" to fulfill His commands.
The Revealed Books: The original scriptures sent to humanity, including the Torah, the Psalms, the Gospel, and finally, the Holy Quran.
The Prophets: Messengers sent to guide humanity, starting with Adam and including Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, concluding with the Final Messenger, Muhammad (peace be upon them all).
The Day of Judgment: The belief that this life is temporary and everyone will be held accountable before God for their actions.
Divine Decree (Qadr): The belief that God has ultimate knowledge and control over everything that exists.
Muslims revere Allah, "Subhanahu wa ta'ala," which translates to the One True God in Arabic. This term is also utilised by Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews when they speak of God. Muslims hold the belief that worship is exclusively meant for the Creator, not for the Prophet Muhammad, Peace Upon Him, or any other human being.
The Quran is the holy book of Islam. Muslims believe it is the literal word of God, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through the Angel Gabriel over a period of 23 years. It has been preserved in its original Arabic text without a single change for over 1,400 years.
Islam teaches that seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every individual. If you are exploring the faith or have deeper questions about specific concepts, our doors at the Redhill Islamic Centre are always open for respectful dialogue and learning.
