This category contains links to websites in English about Islam. Those in other languages may be found under the relevant world category.
The two meanings of the word Islam are "Peace" and "Submission (to the will of Allah)". Islam is a positivist religion in that it is based on proofs and contains no dogmas, a worldly religion in that it recognizes the social, biological, ... place of human beings in this world. It is a unifying religion in that it recognizes and calls to the messages of all previous prophets as Abraham, Moses, Jesus-Christ, it calls all mankind to peace, and it constructs a relationship between man and everything else that is closer than brotherhood for being created and assisted by The Same Creator, The Same Helper.
It is the source of peace for both individuals and societies, in that it defines what is peace and how it can be reached. Being also the lifestyle ("deen" is more than religion) of over a billion followers spread throughout the world, it is worth taking a look at.
Al-Islam's basic message is: "There is NO GOD EXCEPT ALLAH and Prophet Muhammad is Allah's servant and messenger.".
Allah is the specific word for the ONE GOD who expresses and defines Himself in The Quran, The Holy Book of Islam .
