Islam - Understanding Islam, Muslims
and the Islamic Religion
Islam is the
religion of Allah that Muslims
believe is for the entire
humanity. Contrary to the
misconceptions spread by some in
certain quarters, the Islamic religion
is a religion of mercy and kindness,
and the religion of tolerance and
ease. Allah says
in the Quran (interpretation of the meaning):
“Allah burdens not
a person beyond his scope. He
gets reward for that (good)
which he has earned, and he is
punished for that (evil) which
he has earned” [al-Baqarah
2:286 - Quran]
Allah has spared
the Muslims any difficulty or
hardship in all that He has
enjoined upon them. Allah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
“He has chosen you
(to convey His Message of
Islamic Monotheism to mankind by
inviting them to His religion of
Islam), and has not laid upon
you in religion any hardship”
[al-Hajj 22:78 - Quran]
Quran has the final message of Allah for
the entire mankind. Quran was revealed on Prophet Muhammad. Earlier
divine books revealed on prophets include the Bible, Torah and
Zaboor.
