“Allah” : Arabic proper noun; name for God, it refers
to the One and Only, the Unique Creator, Lord
Sustainer of the Universe, Who Alone is God – there
is none besides Allah.
No equivalent translation in non-Semitic language.



“Muhammad s.a.a.w.” : Arabic name
meaning “the Praised One”; he is the
Chosen, Unlettered Prophet, the servant
and Messenger of Allah, the Awaited Seal
of Prophethood after whom there will be
no more prophet sent.


“There are many miracles of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.
to be offered as the evidence, and the greatest and most
outstanding of them is still available to be considered by
anyone (even today, until the Day of Judgement ) is without
doubt, the Qur’an .... ”

“Say (O Muhammad): Do you see? Whether this message
(teaching) be from Allah and yet you reject it, and a witness from
among the Children of Israel bore witness of one like him………...”
(Qur’an : Ahqaf: 46: 10)

Many Muslims scholars understands this verse as a reference to
him being like Moses a.s. - as prophesized and recorded in the Book
of Deuteronomy 18 : 18

“I will raise up for them a prophet like unto you (O Moses) from
amongst their brethren; and I will put My words in his mouth, and
he shall speak to them all that I command him. And whoever will
not give heed to My words which he shall speak in My name, I
Myself will require it of him.”
( Deuteronomy 18 : 18 )

COINCIDENTAL or CORROBORATION?

(Jesus is also recorded to have said)
“ I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.
But when he, the Spirit of Truth, comes, he will guide you into all
truth. He will not speak on his own; he will only speak what he
hears, and he will tell you of what is yet to come. He will bring
glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to
you….”
(John: 16: 7-14)


COINCIDENTAL or CORROBORATION?

“Jesus said to them :
‘Have you never read in the scriptures:
“The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone ”;
The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from
you and given to a people who will produce its fruit . He who falls on
this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be
crushed.”
(Matthews: 21: 42-44)

THE PROPHET S.A.A.W. SAID:


THE PROPHET S.A.A.W. SAID:

“The likeness of me and the other Prophets is similar to that
of a man who built a house and perfectly decorated it except
for a space of one brick. The people used to go round this
house, wonder and say, ‘If only this missing brick were put
in!’
Thus, I am that brick and I am the Last of the Prophets .”

“Nor does he (Muhammad) say (aught) of (his own) Desire .
It is no less than inspiration sent down to him: He was
taught by one mighty in Power (endued with Wisdom).”
(Qur’an: Najm: 53: 3-5)


“Proclaim! (or Read!) in the name of thy Lord
and Cherisher, Who created― “
(Qur’an: al-’Alaq: 96: 1)


“O people of the Book! now hath come unto you, making (things)
clear unto you, Our Messenger after the break in (the series of)
Our Messengers, lest ye should say: there came unto us no
bringer of glad tidings and no warner (from evil): but now hath
come unto you a bringer of glad tidings and a warner (from evil):
and Allah hath power over all things.”
(Qur’an: Maa-idah: 5: 15


“ Say (O Muhammad): "If ye do love Allah, follow me: Allah will
love you and forgive you your sins; for Allah is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful.“ ”.
(Qur’an : Aali ‘Imran : 3 : 31)


Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves
[by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed,
Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the
Merciful."
(Qur’an : Zumar : 39 : 53)

And return [in repentance] to your Lord and submit to Him
(ASLIMU) before the punishment comes upon you; then you
will not be helped.
(Qur’an : Zumar : 39 : 54)


Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those who
are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but)
compassionate amongst each other. Thou wilt see them
bow and prostrate themselves (in prayer) seeking Grace
from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure.... “
(Qur’an: Fath: 48: 29)


“ ... On their faces are their marks, (being) the traces of their
prostration. This is their similitude in the Torah; and their
similitude in the Gospel is: like a seed which sends forth its
blade, then makes it strong; it then becomes thick and it stands
on its own stem (filling) the sowers with wonder and delight. As
a result, it fills the Unbelievers with rage at him. Allah has
promised those among them who believe and do righteous
deeds Forgiveness and a great Reward.”




That message of TAUHEED , requires submission and obedience to
Allah by acknowledging and following Allah’s last Messenger :


MOST COMPASSIONATE,
MOST MERCIFUL.


[Allah] said, "My punishment - I afflict with it
whom I will, but My mercy (RAHMAH)
encompasses all things." So I will decree it
[especially] for those who are (conscious and) fear
Me – ( TAQWA ) - and give the alms –( ZAKAH ) and those who believe (YU’-MINUUN) in Our
verses (AAYAT) –”
(Qur’an: A’raf: 7: 156)


“Those who follow the Messenger (YAT-TABI’UN) ,
the unlettered prophet (Muhammad), whom they
find written in what they have of the Torah and
the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right
(YA’-MURUHUM BIL-MA’-RUF) and forbids them
what is wrong (YA-HAAHUM ‘ANIL-MUNKAR) …”
(Qur’an: A’raf: 7: 157)


“ … and makes lawful for them the good things
(TOYYIBAT) and prohibits for them the evil
(KHABAA-ITH) and relieves them of their burden
(ISwRAA) and the shackles (AGHLAAL) which were
upon them. …”
(Qur’an: A’raf: 7: 157)


“ … So they who have believed in him (AAMANUHU),
honoured him (‘AZ-ZARUUHU), supported him (NASwO-RUUHU) and followed the light which was sent
down with him (TABI-UU-NUUR) - it is those who will
be the successful (MUF-LIHUUN). ”
(Qur’an: A’raf: 7: 157)


“ Say, [O Muhammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the
Messenger of Allah to you all, [from Him] to whom
belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. ”
(Qur’an: A’raf: 7: 158)


“ There is no deity except Him; He gives life (YUH-YII)
and causes death (WA YU-MIIT)."
So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered
prophet (Muhammad), who believes in Allah and His
words, and follow him (TABI’-’UUHU) that you may
be guided (TAH-TADUUN). ”
(Qur’an: A’raf: 7: 158)


“He it is who has sent forth His Messenger with the [task
of spreading] guidance and the religion of truth, to the end
that He make it prevail over every [false] religion; and
none can bear witness [to the truth] as Allah does.”

“O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the
Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life.
And know that Allah intervenes between a man and his
heart and that to Him you will be gathered.”
(Qur’an: Anfaal: 8: 24)

“Tell me about Islam”


Islam is built upon five
things:
Bear witness that there
is none deserving of
worship except Allah,
and that Muhammad is
His servant and
Messenger.



things:
And to establish
Swolah (the obligatory
five daily worship or
specific devotion).



things:
And to pay the Zakah
(obligatory tax upon
the wealth).



things:
And to make
pilgrimage (Hajj) to the
House (Ka’ba in
Makkah) if you are
able.



things:
And to observe fasting
daily in the month of
Ramadhan.

.....“Tell me about
iiman (Faith/Belief)”

(Belief) iiman is that
you:
Solemnly believe in Allah;
His angels;
His Books,
His Messengers;
In the Afterlife;
In the Decree, the good &
bad, all comes from (the
eternal knowledge of)
Allah;


........ “ Tell me
about ‘Al-Ihsan’(the Best or
Righteous conduct or
Excellence)”


“Al-Ihsan” (excellence)
is:
... That you serve
(worship) Allah as
though you see Him,
but if you do not see
Him, He (Allah) sees
you.”

IIMAN
Belief
Faith

Submission
Obedience

Best or
Righteous
Conduct

Faith without obedience is meaningless; and obedience without Faith is
mere rituals and may even lead to hypocrisy.
Together, Faith and Obedience must lead to Righteousness with IHSAN
which essentially focus in our intention to sincerely serve Allah s.w.t.
Thus, in these three aspects can one be said to be true in his submission
to the Will of Allah (as Muslim).

MOST
COMPASSIONATE,
MOST MERCIFUL

THE FIRST ASPECT REQUIRED IN THE ATTESTATION TO
THE ABSOLUTE ONENESS OF ALLAH (TAUHEED)



IIMAN is “Belief or Faith” to something beyond sense
perception, termed as “

- al-ghayb” meaning “the

unseen”.


It is derived from the root word “

” which also means

“safety, peace, security, protection”


It denote: “certainty of the ultimate truth”, adherence to it
instils sense of “security in him” from doubts, uncertainty,
restlessness etc.




Yet from Islamic perspective “iiman” cannot be by mere blind
acceptance devoid of proof or substantiation i.e. Believe or
faith must be with knowledge.




Yet from Islamic perspective “iiman” cannot be by mere blind
acceptance devoid of proof or substantiation i.e. Believe or

"And do not follow (pursue) anything of which thou
hast no knowledge: verily (thy) hearing and sight
and heart - all of them - will be called to account
for it (on Judgement Day).“
(Q: Bani Israil : 17 :36)

Most Exalted.”


MOST COMPASSIONATE,

THE FIRST ASPECT REQUIRED IN THE ATTESTATION TO
THE ABSOLUTE ONENESS OF ALLAH (TAUHEED)

"In (with) the Name of Allah, the Most
Compassionate, the Most Merciful."
