some facts!!
karla
Islam has approximately 1 billion followers known as Muslims who
follow the final revelation to mankind, known as the "Qur'an",
revealed to Prophet Muhammad about 1400 years ago. Contrary to the
common misconception, only about 20% of all Muslims are Arabs, the
rest are Indians, Indonesians, Bosnians,Africans,Chinese,turkish and
so on.
WHAT IS ISLAM
Islam, unlike most other religions, is not named after any man.
Instead Islam means the submission of one's will to the only true god
worthy of worship "Allah" and anyone who does so is termed a
"Muslim".
The word also implies "peace" which is the natural consequence of
total submission to the will of Allah. Islam is the religion that was
given to Adam, the first man and the first prophet of Allah, and it
was the religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind like
Jesus and Moses.
THE MESSAGE OF ISLAM
The most important message of Islam is the absolute Unity of God-that
there is only One Supreme Being who has no partners and is not
dependent on anyone or anything. He is the creator of everything and
the whole universe is under His control.
THE MIRACLE OF QUR'AN:
"And if you are in doubt as to what We [Allah] have revealed…then
produce a Soorah (chapter) like thereunto"(Soorah Baqarah 2:23)
This was the challenge put forth by Allah in the Qur'an 1400 years
ago. As of yet, none has or will ever come close to meeting this
challenge. Hence, as a result, multitudes throughout the centuries
have believed and continue to believe in the Qur'an as a revelation
beyond any human capacity. Modern scientists, for instance, have been
amazed by the accuracy of scientific information presented in the
Qur'an.
Here are just a few examples:
In his book of embryology-'The Developing Human' [W.B. Saunders
Publishing, 1982], Dr. Keith Moore added a whole chapter to discuss
the scientific accuracy of the Quranic discussion of this science.
Another eminent scientist, Dr. Maurice Bucaille wrote in his
book-'The
Bible, the Qur'an and Science':
"I could not find a single error in the Qur'an…if a man was the
author
of the Qur'an how could he have written facts in the 7th century A.D.
that today are shown to be in keeping with modern scientific
knowledge"
Facts about astronomy, the animal world and other natural phenomenon,
that were alien to modern science not long ago, are scattered among
the messages of Allah's Unity and His Attributes throughout the
miracle that is known as al-Qur'an.
