What Is Islam?

[المستغفرة]

What is Islam?” is the question you ask.
Answering this question is every Muslims task.
Describing Islam can be a lot,
but first I’ll tell you what Islam is not.
Islam is not terrorism.
Nor is it oppressing women and racism.
Islam doesn’t teach these things.
On the contrary it forbids them.
Most people think Islam is just a religion.
But, it is actually a detailed way of living,
prescribed by Allah, the merciful, the forgiving.
Peace, submission, and morality,
Respect, kindness and charity.
And worshipping one Allah, the All Mighty,
This is Islam.
It demolishes the cloudiness and confusion in our brains.
Faith in Allah is one thing Islam sustains.
It makes clear our purpose of life, beginning and end.
People take our wealth and freedom, but our faith we must defend.
