THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 10th day of Sha’abaan, 1445AH (Tuesday, 20th February 2024). THE CORRECT AND COMPREHENSIVE MEANING OF ISLAAM. BismilLah. 

Unfortunately, when you ask most Muslims the meaning of Islaam; some often quote a simple response to mean PEACE. No, please, the meaning of Islam is not just PEACE. In actual fact, the short meaning of Islaam is SUBMISSION, and these two meanings are mutilated definition of Islaam. The comprehensive definition of Islaam is THE PEACE WE ACQUIRE WHEN WE SUBMIT TO THE WILL OR COMMANDS OF THE CREATOR, ALLAH. This means we can not submit to our tradition, culture, our own desires, our jobs, relationships, or to anything but to ALLAH'S commands.

Those who submit and surrender to ALLAH’S commands are called MUSLIMS that's why ALLAH referred to all Past Prophets and Messengers such as Abraham, Moses, Jacob, Joseph,  Jesus peace be upon them all as Muslims in the Quran because they all submitted to the commands of ALLAH. That's why Jesus Christ said in John 6:38, I came to do what ALLAH commanded me to do and that makes him a Muslim by submitting to the commands of ALLAH to do whatever he did including all his miracles none were by his authority but by the power and permission of his CREATOR, ALLAH. Meaning, Islam is a complete way of life. How to worship, how to sleep, eat, relate to others, etc Must be from the teachings of ALLAH and HIS Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam. To be continued tomorrow in shaaALLAH. 

Please remember my dad in your prayers, he is unconscious since yesterday being hospitalised. May ALLAH grant him and all sick and ill muslims good health and good recovery. Aameen.
