Introduction to Islam
• Islam is an Arabic word which is derived from word salama ‫ اس ااُل‬which means peace,
submission and obedience.
• In religious sense it means “Submission to the will of Allah, believing in his
oneness, complying obediently with his commands and denouncing polytheism.”
"‫ُاسُےکُاحاکمُیکُتعمیلُکرّنُاورُرشکُیکُمذمتُکرّن۔‬،‫ُاسُیکُوحدانيتُپرُیقنیُرکھنا‬،‫"هللاُیکُمریضُےکُسامنےُرسُتسليُمخُکرّن‬
• Islam is a comprehensive concept of life. It establish firm relations between Man and
Allah, and between Man and Man.
• A Muslim is one who submits to the divine injunctions and does not deviate from them.
• The Muslims must demonstrate this submission by worshipping him, following his
commands and avoiding polytheism.

1. The message of IQRA ‫ِّا ۡق ارا‬
The first and most distinct characteristic of Islam is, that it has
laid foundation of new civilization and culture through the first
revelation IQRA ‫ ِّا ۡق ارا‬.
“Reading & Writing” were introduced as compulsory duty of
every Muslim.
Seeking knowledge was considered as religious duty of man and
woman.
Before Islam there was no written book except Bible. 25
2. Scientific Studies and Research
Islam is a logical and scientific religion.
Quran says:
• Why don’t you look? ‫افال تبرصون‬
• Why don’t you observe? ‫افال تدبرون‬
• Why don’t you think? ‫افال تتفکرون‬
Quran compel muslims to carry on scientific study, to know the law of nature and to
see how the nature is working in the universe.
The tiniest objects like a bee, an ant, a spider which have been made titles of surahs
It is the sprit of Islamic learning which produced great physicians, mathematicians,
chemists and philosophers. 26
3.A missionary Religion
Second revelation is ‫ مق ف اانذر‬means “Get up and Warn”
This message infused the sprit of Jihad and struggle, to
establish Allah’s laws in the universe.
Islam is a missionary religion
Every Muslim is given duty to carry the message of Allah
to the last corner of the world.
Last Ummah. 27
4. Focus on Lawful Earning
In some religions like Buddhism and Christianity living on
alms or charity is lawful
In other religions sitting at one place in a temple is a
worship.
Islam teaches to use ones hands and eyes for lawful
earning.
Example: our prophet’s and companions’ life 28
5. Ease in Worships
In other religions the place of worship confined within
four walls
In Islam whole world is considered as Mosque (Masjid)
It is not necessary to wear a particular type of dress during
worship
ُ ‫اُو ِّل اباسُ التَّ ۡق ہویُۙ ہذ ِّل ا‬
ُ‫ک اخ ۡ م‬
But the dress of piety is the best. ُؕ‫ي‬
29
6. Clear concept of Monotheism
The foundation of Islamic beliefs is laid down on Oneness of Allah;
the Supreme Being, who possesses all the excellent attributes.
There is no such clear concept of monotheism in other religions as it
is in Islam.
Christianity – Trinity (God, Son of God and Holy Ghost)
Hinduism – Trimurti (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva)
Zoroastrian – two equal gods (Ohrmazd- doer of bad in the world
& Ahrman- doer of good in the world) 30
7. Equality and Brotherhood.
Islam has brought the concept of Equality and brotherhood
There is no difference of caste, color and creed in Islam, Quran says:
ُ ‫ہا اَيیهہاا النَّاسُ ِّاّنَّ اخلا ۡق ہن ُۡك ِّم ُۡن اذکارُ َّوان ہ‬
ُِّ ُ‫ۡث او اُج اعلۡ ہن ُۡك شع ۡو ًُب َُّو قا ابائِّ اُل ِّل ات اع اارف ۡواُؕ ُِّا َُّن اا ۡک ار ام ُۡك ِّع ۡندا‬
)13:‫هللا ااتۡ ہق ُۡك (احلجرات‬
Translation: O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and
made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the
most honourable of you with Allah is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa .
)10:‫ونُا ْخ او مۃُفاأَ ْص ِّلحواُب ا ْ انیُ َأخ اُاو ْی ْكُ (احلجرات‬ ‫ن‬‫م‬ِّ ‫ؤ‬ ‫م‬ْ
‫ان َّ اماُال ا‬
ْ
Translation: All believers are brothers, therefore seek reconciliation between your
ِ ِ
two brothers. 31
8. Raised the Status of Women
Islam raised the status of women.
Woman is respected as Mother, daughter, sister and wife
Surah Al-Nisa and share in Inheritance
Widows are allowed to Marry again
Holy Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said in the Last Sermon
“fearُAllahُinُtheُmattersُofُwomen” 32
9. No Renunciation in Islam
Renunciation? “the act of rejecting physical pleasures, especially
for religious reasons” oxford dictionary
‫ ال رھبانيت یف الاسالم‬No Renunciation in Islam.
Christianity and Buddhism preaches, that religion is apart from
worldly life
But Islam teaches: This world is not apart from religion.
But how to live in this world ? “Be in the world yet out of it”; like
the Lotus Flower, like a Boat. 33
10. Actions depend on Intention.
Prophet Moses(PBUH) gave stress on external conduct (Actions)
where as prophet Jesus(PBUH) on internal purification
(Intention).
But Islam is Balance One. ‫امنا ا ألعامل بلنیات‬
The most specific peculiarity of Islam is that man’s actions are
judged by his motives.
Motives and actions are inter-connected.
But also remember ‫امنا ا ألعامل بخلواتي‬ 34
