Who is Muslims?




Islam is a natural religion. Everyone is born Muslim by Instinct:

30:30 So set thy face to the service of religion with 'single-minded devotion'. And follow THE NATURE made by ALLAH, THE NATURE according to which HE has fashioned mankind. There is no altering the creation of ALLAH. That is the RIGHT RELIGION, but most men know not.


Essence of Islam is believing and following ONE GOD:

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 (Zakat); 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


Essence of being Muslim is believing in ONE GOD:


5:69 Those who believe (in the Qur'an), those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Sabians and the Christians,- any who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness,- on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.


Abrahim was a Muslim:

2:130 And who forsakes the religion of Ibrahim but he who makes himself a fool, and most certainly We chose him in this world, and in the hereafter he is most surely among the righteous.

2:131 When his Lord said to him, Be a MUSLIM, he said: I SUBMIT myself to the Lord of the worlds.

6:161 Say: "Verily, my Lord hath guided me to a way that is straight,- a religion of right,- the path (trod) by Abraham the true in Faith, and he (certainly) joined not gods with God."

Being Muslim is a great honor:

[3:102] O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah with the care which is due to Him, and do not die unless you are Muslims.

Being Muslim means success:

3:85 If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to God), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good).



4:125     And who has a better religion than he who submits himself entirely to Allah? And he is the doer of good (to others) and follows the faith of Ibrahim, the upright one, and Allah took Ibrahim as a friend.
4:126     And whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is Allah's; and Allah encompasses all things.
