May God forgive me and guide me regarding any sign that would have been misinterpreted in this study

and elsewhere. May He always guide us to a better understanding of His profound scripture so we can
purify ourselves and increase our knowledge.

Islam: Definition:
Islam derives from the Arabic word “salim”, which reflects a state of perfection, sanctity, and
Peace. The word "Salaam" (Peace) thus shares the same root as the word "Islam", which
Literally means “Submission”. It is a religion the objective of which is to be in a state of total
submission before God, in order to achieve perfect happiness and peace. Thus, contrary to
common belief, the religion of Islam, as described in the Quran, is a very peaceful and loving
religion.
Muhammad was born in 570 A.D. the city of Mecca. According to the Quran, the Holy Scripture
was revealed in one night (on the 27th night night of Ramadan 610), then gradually released to
the prophet Muhammad by the angel Gabriel over a long period of time: from 610 A.D. to 632
A.D., the year of his death. Muhammad was born in a polytheistic Arab society and starting from
the revelation of Quran suddenly preached the absolute oneness of God, and rejected strongly the
polytheistic cults of the Arab tribes. He was persecuted and had to flee from the city of Mecca to
the city of Medina on September 24, 622. This date marks the beginning of the Islamic lunar
calendar. It is called the Hegira. Muhammad, according to the revelations of Quran, was
commanded to purify the holly sanctuary of Mecca, which was originally built by Abraham and
Ishmael, his first son, to establish the religion of perfect monotheism. After several years of war
with the Arab tribes of Mecca, in January 630 A.D. he entered the holy city of Mecca as a victor,
without any resistance (Quran, 48:24-25), and purified it from any trace of idol worship. At the
time of his death, the cult of Allah, the One God, had spread over the entire Arabic peninsula and
replaced the polytheist cults.
Today, Islam is the second largest religion after Christianity.
There are hundreds of different denominations or subdivisions in Islam. Nevertheless there are
clearly two major religious tendencies, which emerged from divisions after the death of the
prophet Muhammad: The Sunnis and the Shiites. Because of the foundation of their beliefs and a
terrible history of violence between the two groups, it is virtually impossible that peace will ever
be established between them. Unfortunately, neither of them hold the keys to establish peace on
earth, nor do they reflect the purity of Islam.
By the grace of God, the real path of Islam is now being restored: Islam based on Quran alone,
the true path of Peace, which is as we speak in the process of reestablishing the true foundation
and values of Islam. Quran alone Islam disappeared shortly after the death of prophet
Muhammad, and it is now in the process of uniting not only the entire Islamic world, but the
human race. Sunni and Shia Islam will in time disappear, God willing - simply because they do
not reflect the message described by God in the Quran, and because God provided us decisive
signs, some of which are displayed on this website, that enable us today to clearly separate the
truth from falsehood.
I Islam based exclusively on the Quran, the best example:
No compulsion, freedom of belief:
(2:62) Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone
who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will
receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
(2:256) There shall be no compulsion in religion: the right way is now distinct from the wrong
way. Anyone who denounces the devil and believes in GOD has grasped the strongest bond; one
that never breaks. GOD is Hearer, Omniscient.
Jesus in the Quran:
(3:45) The angels said, "O Mary, GOD gives you good news: a Word from Him whose name is
`The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary. He will be prominent in this life and in the Hereafter, and
one of those closest to Me.'
The Quran advocates defending oppressed people:
(4:75) Why should you not fight in the cause of GOD when weak men, women, and children are
imploring: "Our Lord, deliver us from this community whose people are oppressive, and be You
our Lord and Master."
Politeness:
(4:86) When greeted with a greeting, you shall respond with a better greeting or at least an
equal one. GOD reckons all things.
(4:148) GOD does not like the utterance of bad language, unless one is treated with gross
injustice. GOD is Hearer, Knower.
The example of Abraham:
(4:125) Who is better guided in his religion than one who submits totally to GOD, leads a
righteous life, according to the creed of Abraham: monotheism? GOD has chosen Abraham as a
beloved friend.
The example of Abel responding to his brother Cain:
(5:28) "If you extend your hand to kill me, I am not extending my hand to kill you. For I
reverence GOD, Lord of the universe.
The price of life in Islam:
(5:32) Because of this, we decreed for the Children of Israel that anyone who murders any
person who had not committed murder or horrendous crimes, it shall be as if he murdered all
the people. And anyone who spares a life, it shall be as if he spared the lives of all the people.
Our messengers went to them with clear proofs and revelations, but most of them, after all this,
are still transgressing.
Essence of the message: believe and lead a righteous life.
(5:93) Those who believe and lead a righteous life bear no guilt by eating any food, so long as
they observe the commandments, believe and lead a righteous life, then maintain their piety and
faith, and continue to observe piety and righteousness. GOD loves the righteous.
God is One:
(6:19) Say, "Whose testimony is the greatest?" Say, "GOD's. He is the witness between me and
you that this Quran has been inspired to me, to preach it to you and whomever it reaches.
Indeed, you bear witness that there are other gods beside GOD." Say, "I do not testify as you do;
there is only one god, and I disown your idolatry."
Difference between Mainstream Christianity and Islam: the identity of Jesus:
(4:171) O people of the scripture, do not transgress the limits of your religion, and do not say
about GOD except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was a messenger of GOD,
and His word that He had sent to Mary, and a revelation from Him. Therefore, you shall believe
in GOD and His messengers. You shall not say, "Trinity." You shall refrain from this for your
own good. GOD is only one god. Be He glorified; He is much too glorious to have a son. To Him
belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. GOD suffices as Lord and Master.
(5:116) GOD will say, "O Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to the people, `Make me and my
mother idols beside GOD?' " He will say, "Be You glorified. I could not utter what was not right.
Had I said it, You already would have known it. You know my thoughts, and I do not know Your
thoughts. You know all the secrets.
Appreciative versus unappreciative:
(14:7) Your Lord has decreed: "The more you thank Me, the more I give you." But if you turn
unappreciative, then My retribution is severe.
The message of Islam is not violent:
(16:125) You shall invite to the path of your Lord with wisdom and kind enlightenment and
debate with them in the best possible manner. Your Lord knows best who has strayed from His
path, and He knows best who are the guided ones.
Marriage in Islam, love and care towards the spouse:
(30:21) Among His proofs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves, in order to
have tranquility and contentment with each other, and He placed in your hearts love and care
towards your spouses. In this, there are sufficient proofs for people who think.
Words of wisdom:
(41:34) Not equal is the good response and the bad response. You shall resort to the nicest
possible response. Thus, the one who used to be your enemy, may become your best friend.
(42:43) Resorting to patience and forgiveness reflects a true strength of character.
(49:11) O you who believe, no people shall ridicule other people, for they may be better than
they. Nor shall any women ridicule other women, for they may be better than they. Nor shall you
mock one another, or make fun of your names. Evil indeed is the reversion to wickedness after
attaining faith. Anyone who does not repent after this, these are the transgressors.
II Restoration and revolution of Islam:
Beside the Sunni and Shiite mainstream which are by essence very based on the Hadiths and
Sunna, and lead to an extremely codified, oppressive and violent society, an example of a very
revolutionary and very peaceful approach has appeared in the 1970s in the world of Islam:
Muslims who completely reject all forms of traditions (Sunna and Hadiths) and base their faith
on the Quran alone. These Muslims stress on the fact that the Quran contradicts the violent laws
of traditional corrupted Islam, and that the message of the Quran has actually nothing to do with
nonsense or violence. It is important to see that some Muslims have the capacity to ignore
traditions, and go back to the essence of the message of faith, which is a message of love (19:96).
- The Quran prophesied that Islam will prevail over all religions (9:33, 61:9, sura 110). There is
no compulsion in pure Islam, and no one will ever be forced to adopt Islam as his or her religion
(2:256). Mankind will embrace the one true religion (Islam) simply because God, with His signs
and miracles, will prove to the human race above and beyond certainty that the Quran is indeed
the final testament that He sent to mankind, and because it is the only way to reach perfect
happiness in this world, and in the hereafter.
- Unites States of Islam: The world is destined to be one Islamic nation; a federation of states
administered locally, with leaders elected democratically, with one single army that will
guarantee that no violence, tyranny or abuse ever takes place. There is no compulsion in Islam
and no country should ever be forced to join such a union for peace.
- To draft a perfect Islamic constitution for the world, it cannot be more simple: You put a Quran
on a table and this is it. The world has the perfect foundation and constitution to establish Peace
on Earth: The Quran, the whole Quran, and nothing but the Quran.
- The Quran is the final scripture revealed to mankind: Quranic Arabic is the language that is
destined to reunite the human race, while there is no reason to discourage keeping all the
beautiful languages on Earth at the same time.
- God elected Adam and his descent as Khalifa on Earth (2:30). It is the primary duty of each and
every human being to be God's steward on Earth in every way. Life is not about greed and
accumulating wealth blindly. It is about establishing God's kingdom on Earth by respecting the
genetic foundation of life that God has created, respecting and maintaining God's way in which
He established a perfect balance of everything (15:19), and making sure that all its inhabitants
(animals, plants and human beings) enjoy happiness. Our actions are what determines our future
in the hereafter.
- Through a system based on equivalence, one single judicial system based on the Quran alone
will be established as well. God's law is the only law that can guarantee Peace on earth.
- One single currency system will unite the world: The Dinar (indexed on gold, 3:75) and the
Dirham (indexed on silver, 12:20), the only two currencies mentioned in the Quran; Gold and
silver are the precious metals that have historically always guaranteed monetary stability on
Earth. World division, money printed out of thin air, a world dominated by banks, populations
enslaved by usury systems and interest rates is not the path of Islam.
- In Islam, saving one human life is equivalent to saving the entire human race (5:32). The
human race needs to establish a healthcare system that is free for the entire mankind. The power
of corrupted pharmaceutical lobbies around the world and market protectionism make what
should be inexpensive medicines ridiculously costly. It is currently preventing hundred of
millions of human beings to have access to life saving cures, especially natural, inexpensive and
often more effective cures that are kept away from the general public to serve an agenda of
greed. This contributes greatly to the loss of numerous lives, as well as making healthcare
systems extremely expensive: It needs to stop. Saving human lives and the well being of the
human race comes long before insane corporate profits. Muslims who follow the Quran alone are
never involved in criminal activities, doing drugs or drinking alcohol and have a very pure way
of life. The human race embracing Islam will make universal healthcare a goal easy to reach,
God willing.
- In Islam, Zakat is mandatory and is meant to purify any income we receive (in reality as a pure
gift and mercy from God); Paying Zakat is crucial for whoever wants to attain salvation in the
hereafter (7:156). It is a system designed to eradicate poverty and strengthen family ties. There is
no place for poverty in a pure Islamic world. There is only one Zakat charity rate mentioned in
the Quran and it is 20% (8:41). Zakat has to be paid at the time of harvest (6:141). According to
the Quran, we are commanded to give in charity from what we save, which is the surplus after
paying all expenses and taxes (2:219). We should therefore pay 20% of our savings at the time of
harvest, which, depending on the society where we live, can be a pay period, an actual harvest, or
at the time we pay taxes, as long as we pay or have paid our due share when a new income year
resets. 
- An Islamic society is all about freedom. Because God gave us the perfect system and
constitution to establish God's kingdom on earth, we must stay away from any form of
dictatorship, and establish a society where people do not become slaves of big governments and
heavy taxation systems. Islam is a simple society. For instance, there is no need for a costly,
complicated judicial system with a hoard of lawyers who prey on people. It is insane to inflict on
ourselves a tyrannic "Internal Revenue Service" which spreads fear and burdens the economy; an
inexpensive flat tax system that collects money to pay for all types of government expenses in
my opinion a lot preferable. In Islam, governments have absolutely no right to take any share of
people's inheritance either: The Quran guarantees that only the heirs do. "Modern" governments
have gradually enslaved people all around the world and taken over their rights. Islam is about
setting them free.
- If you take into account the fact that pure Islam based on the Quran alone is a perfectly
balanced society where there is no war, where people are united and lead a healthy, pure and
righteous life staying away from sins and corruption, where people are heavily involved in
charity instead of greed, where a minimal government is designed by the people to serve the
people instead of enslaving them, some of the major costs of a society (army, judicial system,
taxation system, prisons...) are so minimal that the society can easily finance an advanced,
affordable education system and inexpensive universal healthcare system for everyone in any
part of the Muslim world.
- Real Muslims do not believe the false assumption that humans are divided into several races.
There is only one race: The human race. We are all the children of the same man and woman:
Adam and Eve. Variation in color and ethnicity only contributes to the extraordinary beauty and
richness of the human race. All Muslims who follows the Quran alone know for a fact that we all
are brothers and sisters closer to each other than any relative who would not have embraced
Islam.
A very simple way to introduce Islam are five of the main pillars of Islam (there are many
additional pillars) which provide a good overview of some of the religious duties of a Muslim:
1. The first pillar of Islam: the absolute Oneness of God.
The first pillar of Islam, as described in the Quran, is to bear witness to the following:

‫ال إله إال هللا‬


“There is no other god beside God”

We find this most important pillar word for word in two verses of the Quran as well as in many
verses under a variety of forms:
(37:35) When they were told, "Laa Elaaha Ella Allah [There is no other god beside GOD]," they
turned arrogant.
(47:19) You shall know that: "There is no other god beside GOD," and ask forgiveness of your
sins and the sins of all believing men and women. GOD is fully aware of your decisions and your
ultimate destiny.
(3:18) GOD bears witness that there is no god except He, and so do the angels and those who
possess knowledge. Truthfully and equitably, He is the absolute god; there is no god but He, the
Almighty, Most Wise.
2. The ritual Prayer (Salaat).
The prayer in Islam is a way to establish contact with God, find guidance, keep us away from
evil deeds, and remember Him. Without giving a detailed explanation of the prayer here, the first
chapter of the Quran, the “Key”, is consistently recited twice in all five daily ritual prayers:
(1:1) In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
(1:2) Praise be to GOD, Lord of the universe.
(1:3) Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
(1:4) He who reigns over the Judgment day.
(1:5) It is You whom we worship; it is from You that we seek help.
(1:6) Guide us onto the right path,
(1:7) The path of those whom You blessed, not that of those who have incurred Your wrath, nor
that of those who have gone astray.
This first chapter is basically a summary of the entire Quran in seven verses.
3. The fast of Ramadan.
The Quran was revealed to the prophet Muhammad on the 27th night of the month of Ramadan
(Islamic lunar calendar), and is called “the Night of Decree". This month has a very special place
in the life of a Muslim.
(2:185) Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing guidance for the
people, clear teachings, and the statute book. Those of you who witness this month shall fast
therein. Those who are ill or traveling may substitute the same number of other days. GOD
wishes for you convenience, not hardship, that you may fulfill your obligations, and to glorify
GOD for guiding you, and to express your appreciation.
4. The obligatory charity (zakât).
In Islam it is an obligation to help those in need. It is mandatory to set aside a minimum of 20%
of your savings at the end of the year to give away as charity.
(6:141) He is the One who established gardens, trellised and untrellised, and palm trees, and
crops with different tastes, and olives, and pomegranate - fruits that are similar, yet dissimilar.
Eat from their fruits, and give the due alms on the day of harvest, and do not waste anything. He
does not love the wasters.
(2:177) Righteousness is not turning your faces towards the east or the west. Righteous are
those who believe in GOD, the Last Day, the angels, the scripture, and the prophets; and they
give the money, cheerfully, to the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the traveling alien, the
beggars, and to free the slaves; and they observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the
obligatory charity (Zakât); and they keep their word whenever they make a promise; and they
steadfastly persevere in the face of persecution, hardship, and war. These are the truthful; these
are the righteous.
Note: The Quran, like the Bible, was revealed in a society who used to advocate slavery. In the
above verse, it is noteworthy that Quran and the Islamic society advocate strongly the
disappearance of such practices.
5. The pilgrimage to Mecca.
(22:27) "And proclaim that the people shall observe Hajj pilgrimage. They will come to you
walking or riding on various exhausted (means of transportation). They will come from the
farthest locations."
At least once in a lifetime, it is a religious duty to perform the Hajj pilgrimage to the valley of
Mecca, for those who can afford it. It is a symbol of unity of Muslims all around the world in
their worshiping God.
III Islam, religion of peace.
Most of all, Islam is a very simple religion. It is all about loving God, it all about loving your
neighbor as yourself and strive to make a better world; it is about listening to your heart, it is all
about peace...
(5:16) With it, GOD guides those who seek His approval. He guides them to the paths of peace,
leads them out of darkness into the light by His leave, and guides them in a straight path.
