cuteISLAM, Love For All Hatred For None
Islam, a name given by Allah to this religion (Quran 5:4), is an Arabic word which literally means obedience and peace. ISLAM is derived from the Arabic root "SALEMA": peace, purity, submission and obedience. So 'Islam' would mean the path of those who are obedient to Allah and who establish peace with Him and His creatures. Islam thus means complete submission of the will of God Almighty and to be at peace with all creations at all levels. Islam provides a complete code of life. Its teachings explain in detail how to coordinate beneficently in society with the use of all the human faculties constructively provided by Allah. The main sources of Islamic teachings are the Holy Qur’an and the traditions of the Holy Prophet saw. Its follower are called Muslims.
Islam is not a new religion. It is, in essence, the same message and guidance which Allah revealed to all prophets before Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. Allah says in the Qur’an:
"Say, `We believe in ALLAH and that which has been revealed to us, and that which was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and in that which was given to Moses and Jesus and other Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them and to HIM we submit." (Qur’an 3-85)
Present day, specifically western media portrays Islam as a religion of disharmony and destruction. Visitors of
cuteISLAM will find a totally opposite and true picture of Islam, which stands only for peace, harmony and serenity. This beautiful religion is nothing to do with destructive ideology which extremist people attribute towards it. Islam is the only religion in the world which literally means peace and obedience. Therefore, it can be rightfully said that 'Islam is peace and for peace'. Islam has not only given the world, renowned religious scholars but also Muslim scholars in all the fields of secular knowledge, which are known as pioneers in their respective field of knowledge, even by the western world.
