what is islam?

this is me writing just in case i forget and if the readers forget too.

im sure many people is searching the true meaning of their life.

why are we here? for what purpose we live? what happens after we die? does God exist? Islam answers all the questions. insyaallah(if god is willing)

islam came from  the word salam, or is it the other way round but basically it means peace. peace for those who believe in Allah and Muhammad as his messenger.

muslim is the person who carries islam, but not just the religious aspects but in every aspect of his life. islam being just a religion is an old fashion mind setting which stresses just the few aspects of life. like praying 5 times, fast in ramadhan... bla3. the way we communicate, the way we dress, the way we deal in business(buy n sell), how we sleep, what we eat reflects what's islam.

so if we just carry the basic principles of islam, its not enough. its just the western propaganda to distract muslims from carrying islam in every aspect of his life by introducing the word "religion". are we just muslims when we pray?

islam is the religion for terrorists. dont u think how irony this sentence is? islam itself means peace, so why do u call us terrorists? just because some men blow up ur tower, u have the right to label the whole religion violent? whatever you do, find search islam urself first, dont look at the muslims who carry islam just by name. they chose to do those ugly things.

the 5 pillars of islam(rukun islam):

1. shahadah - everything we do in our life is because of the one n only Allah. its He who created everything. people, animals, plants, earth, cosmos did not exist out of coincidence. they serve as a reminder for people that Allah exist. who help you when you are sad? who brings down the rain to help you plant n to give comfort for people who needs sleep? who gives child even to those who are barren as a sign of His greatness, to Maryam, prophet Isa's mother?

the person who teaches us these things(messenger) is Muhammad.

2. Pray 5 times a day - its not that hard really, especially when do it together with other muslims, u will not feel bored n its like a break from our usual routine during the day. very refreshing!

3. Fast during the holy month of ramadhan - i was really scared when i fasted for the first time. my sister told me i cant pick my nose, i cant scratch my ears n all other silly stuffs. but thats crazy. drg the time of rasulullah, arab people use to do lots of trick to insert food into their body as it was not allowed to eat, so they chose their nose to put in food, as the nose connects with the pharynx(the second path of the digestive tract). what i really love about ramadhan is its beauty, people share their food during the end of the day n it feels so calm the whole month, we stop eating lunch which is the main meal here in russia and it gives conscience to the rich, how the poor feel when they are hungry, insyaallah.

4. Zakat - or giving a part of ur income every year to the needy. after fasting, we experience the hardship of the poor, so why not we help them? those who give in the road islam receive more than what he had gave. insyaallah.

5.Hajj for those who are abled - pilgrimage to mecca, where every muslim gathers and feels the beauty n sweetness of islam. insyaallah.
