Islam is an Arabic word that means submission to God the Creator. All God creations including the universe and mankind are, and should be, fully submitting to their Creator God (Allah in Arabic).

Islam per God Quran revelation to Muhammad is called the very name Islam as it is the last God religion, Quran is the last God revealed holy book, and prophet Muhammad is the last God prophet. This explains why Muslims follow the last God religion, last God holy book, and last God prophet. Refer to questions below for more related information.

A Muslim spends a normal life with his spouse and children. All human beings are the off-spring of Hazrat Adam (AS). They are equal in the eyes of Almighty God. There is No Caste System or discrimination on the bases of color. These simple teachings of Islam appealed to the Africans, Asians, Europeans and all others who studied Islam to seek guidance of Almighty Allah Karim. and they embraced Islam.
