Question About Islam

mustafa badheli · January 02, 2009, 09:11:35 PM

Hello, I'm new to this web-site and i wasn't very sure on what Islam is. I have heard two things, Islam is either a city, or a religeon. One of my friends said that Islam was inside Isreal, and are no match for the sheer AWESOMENESS of the Jews... I have also heard that they were a form of Judaism, but DEFINENTALLY less important... I think that the Jews should kick the muslims out of their religeon, or out of their contry.... From what i have heard islam SUCKS EGGS!!!!! Please help me understand the true meaning of the word Islam, and what it is..... THANKS A LOT!

That was ISLAM.... (the doll being stabbed!!!!!)

Peace,

Here's a good beginner's article on what "islam"/submission is:
http://www.quran.org/mosque/islam.htm

Or you could always look at the initial page you probably had to view to get here (to the forum):

Peace,

I'd encourage you to read through the quran and to steer clear of any exegesis from the interpreter/s until you have formulated an overall view of it's message.

Great advice Joe! Add to that purifying yourself of preconceived notions that stuck to our minds since childhood.

56:79 None can grasp it except those purified.

Peace,

Islam is the tradition of Abraham which the people of the Book abandoned but was still practised by Pagans at the time. It was taught to all the post-abrahamic prophets. The pilgrimage was always to the Ancient house. The idea of God's temple that has no evidence that it even existed and was supposedly destroyed twice can never be the safe House of God. As long as you keep thinking that the Exodus was from Egypt till a land they call Canaan, the atheists and archaeologists will keep bashing the historical accuracy of the scriptures.

True that. I realized it after I posted it, or rather while I was posting it, but since I felt like responding, I gave into my impulse.

Islam according to the English dictionary is one thing, according to the original arabic... something totally different.

Would one like to refer to the arabic or the English?
