Islam - The Muslim Religion

Islam is a religion of Muslims around the world, i.e. the one who believes in Islam as his/her own and true religion is called a Muslim. So the Muslim religion is Islam. Thus defining Islam resultantly defines the Muslim, because Islam is a religion, and the one who believes and practices Islam is a Muslim.

A Muslim, or sometimes spelled Moslem, is a follower of the religion of Islam. The literal meaning of Muslim is "one who submits (to God/Allah)", however, it is an Arabic word which origins from the word “slim” which means submission. The origin of the word Muslim and Islam is same i.e. ‘slim’. So we can say, Muslim refers to one who submits where Islam refers to religion of one who submits his/her will to God/Allah.

Hence it’s proven that Muslim religion is Islam, which means to declare in belief and practice that I submit my will to Allah SWT, and Allah wants me to belief that there is no God but Allah, and Muhammad SAWW is the final and last Messenger and the Prophet of Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala, and I will follow the commands, and believes in what Allah SWT mentioned in Quran and by the Sunnah (Traditions) of Prophet Muhammad SAWW send for me.

Thus, the Muslim religion is Islam, and Islam is a source of beliefs and commands sent by Allah SWT to His Prophet Muhammad SAWW in the shape of Quran and the Sunnah, guiding do and don’ts regarding the issue of men, pertaining the issues of men regarding his/her relation is creator (Allah), relation with itself, and to organize the relations with other people and nature.

Therefore, the Muslims religion, that is Islam, deals which the rituals, as well as issues other than rituals like public affairs, agreements, punishments, and politics. Therefore, Islam is considered to be complete code of life according to the Muslims scholar, especially classical Muslim Jurists such as Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Ahmed, Imam Muhammad, Imam Yusuf, Imam Shafai, Imam Jafar, Imam Zaid, Imam Malik (Allah May Peace Be Upon Them All) etc.
