Islam means is
the “submission to God”. Islam is the belief that there is only One
God. Islam is the same message given to all the prophets, from
Adam, Noah, Moses, Abraham, Jesus, and finally to the Prophet Muhammad,
the last messenger (peace and blessings be upon them). They all brought
the same message: worship only God, and stop worshipping human beings
and their ideas. If you believe there is only One God who should be worshipped, and no one/nothing else has that right but Him, and you believe Muhammad, peace be upon him, was a messenger who brought the same message as all the prophets before him, then you are basically a Muslim. If someone receives the message of Islam and dies rejecting it, they are forever destined to Hellfire. Anyone who truly believes in the message of Islam, their previous sins are forgiven and they will spend eternity in Paradise . If you have belief, act on it. Do not worry about what anyone else thinks. Your eternal life is at stake. |
"... never will Allah grant to the unbelievers a way (to triumphs) over the believers." - an-Nisa, 4:141 (Interpretation of Meaning, al-Qur'an)
"For
each (such person) there are (angels) in succession, before and behind him:
They
guard him by command of Allah. Verily never will Allah change the condition
of a
people until they change it themselves (with their own souls).
But when (once)
Allah willeth a people's punishment, there can be no turning
it back, nor will
they find, besides Him, any to protect."
