THE LEGACY OF ISLAM – BEGINNING

THE LEGACY OF ISLAM – BEGINNING

It is a historical fact that Islam began some 1400 yrs. back and since then it is being practiced by billions of people. But is this is so?

In reality it is not so.

As- SALAAM is a name of Allah, known to HIM even before the creation of Adam. As-SALAAM demands protection, it protects its creation, ensures its continuity in a steady and progressive way, and in doing so it makes clarity, free from all defects, hence it stands for openness, nothing to hide, and self-disclosure. It also stands for stairs to reach high grounds, high aims, and high intellect. It demands peace, purity and cleanliness. It demands to work together for a higher purpose. It also demands obedience, softness and gentleness. Lastly it demands a beauty of word and deeds, beauty of physical and moral values.

Thus As-SALAAM is a way of Allah and Islam is how Allah has created all Earth and universes. You can say Islam is how Allah has balanced all His creation. Hence Allah says in Quran:

ان الدين عند اللله الاسلام

(The deen i.e. way near Allah is Islam)

Again, in Quran:

وله اسلم من فى السموات والارض

(And for Him are obedient i.e. salam everything in skies and earth)

Now it should be clear that Islam began before the creation of humanity. It is the only way. It is Allah’s way. It is the way of all the universes and earth and this is the only way acceptable to Allah.

ومن يبتع غير الاسلام دينا فلن يقبل منه

(Whosoever adopt any other way, other than Islam, it will not be accepted)

Allah protects you by not only advising you, but HE has created every possible ways and means to ensue protection of His creation. This may be internal like your immune system, your physical layers, your clothing, or external like water, food, homes, various human crafts and plenty of resources in earth and skies. It not only use defensive measures but sometime use offensive measures to ward off any danger or threat.

Allah teaches you, so learn Islam.
