Fariq Naik – Islam is There since Time Immemorial

In Nigeria,

the 2

major religions

are Islam and in Christianity.

As far as today's talk is concerned, we

will be discussing the similarities

between these two major world religions of the

world. We will not be discussing about the

differences.

We'll be discussing about the similarities

so that the followers of these two religions,

they can be united.

What is the meaning of the word Islam?

Islam

comes from the root word salaam, which means

peace.

It is also derived

from the Arabic word, which

means to submit your will to the will

of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Thus, Islam means peace

acquired by submitting your will to the will

of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.

And anyone who submits his will to the

will of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, he's called

as a Muslim.

Many people

have a misconception

that Islam is a new religion,

and it came into existence 1400 years ago.

And prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, he

is the founder of this religion.

But in fact, Islam is there since time

immemorial.

Since man set foot on this earth.

And prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is

not the founder of this religion, but he's

the last and final messenger of Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala of almighty God.
