Introduction to Islam

Islam is a Semitic religion, which has over one billion adherents

all over the world. Islam means “submission to the will of God”.

Muslims accept the Qur’an, as the word of God revealed to His last

and final prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him). Islam states

that Allah sent messengers and prophets throughout the ages with

the message of Unity of God and accountability in the Hereafter.

Islam thus makes it an article of faith to believe in all the earlier

prophets, starting with Adam, and continuing with Noah,

Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, John the

Baptist and Jesus amongst many others (may peace be on them all).
