I am blogging about the Muslim religion to help most Americans understand that they are not all bad people. They have there own laws and way of living. They should be respected just as every other religion is in America. I am proudly married to a Muslim man and he is the most wonderful man I have ever been with in my relationships. He has taught me a whole lot about this religion and I am looking forward to converting when I have become a litttle more educated about this religion. My husband was born and raised a Muslim. The American way of life is so very different to him as his Muslim way of life is so very different to me. So everyday we teach other something new about our way of life. So I would just like to educate you about what I have learned about this wonderful religion and I hope you will love what I have to say.
Nearly every religion in the world has been named after either the person it has been associated with or the people or nation from which it originated. Christianity, for example, got its name from Jesus Christ; Buddhism from Gautama Buddha; and Judaism the religion of the Jews takes its name from both the tribe of Judah and the country of Judea where it was born. The same is true of other religions.

But not so with Islam.This religion enjoys the unique distinction of having no such association with any particular person or people. The word "Islam" does not convey any such relationship for it does not belong to any person, people, or country. Nor is it the product of any human mind.  It is a universal religion and its objective is to create and cultivate within  man the quality and attitude of Islam. "Islam" infact is a descriptive title. Whoever possesses the qualities contained within this description, regardless of his race, community, country, or family, is a Muslim.

According to the Quar'an (the holy book of the Muslims) among every society and in all ages there have been good and righteous people who possessed these qualities and all of them were and are Muslims.

Islam is an Arabic word meaning submission, surrender,and obedience. As a religion Islam stands for complete submission and obedience to God and this is why it is call "ISLAM".

There is a law and order among all the parts that make up this universe. Ours is a law-governed universe and everything in it is following the course that has been ordained for it.

This all powerful and all penetrating law,which governs everything that exists for the tiniest particles of matter to the most awesome galaxies in the high heavens, is the law of God, the creator and ruler of the universe. Since all created things obey the law of God the entire universe therefore literally follows the system of Islam for Islam signifies nothing but obedience and submission to God,the lord of the universe. The sun, the moon, the earth and all other heavenly bodies are thus "Muslims". So are the air, water and soil, and all livng things, the insects,birds and mammals of the animal world, the shruns, trees vegetables and fruits of the planet world. Everything in the universe is Muslim"; for they all
obey God almighty by submitting to his laws.
