Simplicity of al-Islam

From al-Hadith: On the authority of Abu Abdullah Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari
(R.A.) : A man asked the Holy Messenger of Allah (s.a.s.) 'Do you think that
if I perform the obligatory prayers, fast in Ramadhan, treat as lawful that which
is lawful and treat as forbidden that which is forbidden, and do nothing further,
I shall enter Paradise?' He said, 'Yes'.

In a time where people seek newfangled, mystical ways to improve their living
situations, they have gone from one extreme to another. Mysticism, self-help,
total rejection, total acceptance, varying theories, and the like, only to
find they are still searching. Why search far and wide for complexities when
the answer is very near and simple: Al-Islam! Pure and uncomplicated.

Al-Islam! Total submission to the Almighty Creator of us all. Al-Islam! Total
surrender of our wills to the Will of the Glorious Lord, God, Almighty Allah!
Just simple declaration of the Oneness of Allah and the truth of the Messengerhood
of Sayyidina Muhammad (s.a.s.) removes years of sins and confusion, and brings
peace and calmness to the heart. Al-Islam: The religion of Peace, Submission
and Oneness.

Muslims are not mindless, spineless creatures that follow blindly the leader
or Imam of the locality. Muslims are not terrorists, heretics, fanatics who
believe that just killing and being killed will afford on Paradise. Muslims
are those who have been given the intelligence to submit and chose al-Islam
as their way of life. They abhor violence, cruelty, sin, and transgression
against the laws of the Almighty Allah. Muslims hold dear the simple message
of the Unity of Allah brought to us by Hazrats Adam, Noah, Moses, Abraham,
Jesus, and Sayyidina Muhammad, peace and blessing of Allah be upon them all.
And it is this simple way of life that we invite all to follow for eternal
peace and happiness.

Almighty Allah
does not ask a lot from us. Just belief in His Oneness and the Oneness of
His message and through His Messengers, prayer to Him, which is due only
to Him, and taking all that He deemed lawful as such and accepting all that
He willed lawful for us. There are not mystical, supernatural rites one must
perform to become nor remain Muslims. The performance of prayers reconfirm
your covenant to Almighty Allah. Abstinence from the unlawful; moderate indulgence
in the lawful. Proper Islamic garments which worn manifest proudly one's
love for Allah and one's humble submission to His will. Muslim ladies adorning
themselves in the chaddars, veils and long garments, that declare their beliefs
and their modesty. Muslim men with their "humble crowns of glory" manifest
their nobility and grand roles. And the reward for obeying the commandments
of Almighty Allah is Paradise, forever, with Almighty Allah.

During a time where it seems as if the entire world has gone mad, and Satan
rules supreme, God Almighty has prescribed a way of life that brings sense
to a senseless world. He has given us the ammunition to combat evil on all
levels and has taught the secret to success in both this world and the next.
Al-Islam: the ways of Muslims - the true vicegerents on this earth. The way
of all Prophets of Almighty God. He is One. His Messengerhood is One. His Message
is One. His Way is One. Simple, pure, unadulterated. Al-Islam: The Religion
of Peace.
