Who is a Muslim?

A Muslim is anyone who submits their will to the one and only true God who is worthy of worship, “Allah” (God). A Muslim also believes in the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the last and final prophet of God. By submitting oneself and worshiping Allah (God), a Muslim attains peace through obedience to his commandments. Peace is a natural result of submitting to the will of Allah.

For a person to become a Muslim and accept Islam as their faith, they must say and believe in the following phrase:


La ilaha illa Allah. Muhammad Rasul Allah

This sentence literally means “There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is His messenger.” The sentence also means “There is none worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger.” The moment a person says this phrase and begins to act upon it they become a Muslim.

There is a common belief in Islam that every child is born a Muslim. His parents and society converts him to other religions.

Wives of Muhammad PUBH (Azwaj-e-Mutahirat)

Muhammad's wives, or the wives of Muhammad, were the women married to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Muslims often use the term "Mothers of the Believers" prominently before or after referring to them as a sign of respect, a term derived from Quran 33:6.[1][2] Muhammad was monogamous for 25 years when married to his first wife, Khadija bint Khuwaylid. After her death in 619 CE, he over time married a number of women. His life is traditionally delineated by two epochs: pre-hijra (emigration) in Mecca, a city in western Arabia, from the year 570 to 622 CE, and post-hijra in Medina, from 622 until his death in 632. All but two of his marriages were contracted after the Hegira (or Hijra - migration to Medina). Of his 13 wives, only two bore him children: Khadija and Maria al-Qibtiyya. Women and girls in Islam are encouraged to follow their footsteps to succeed in existing life and the life hereafter. Prophet Muhammed PBUH has been awarded the highest category amongst all...

Muhammad PUBH

Who Was Muhammad? Muhammad was the prophet and founder of Islam. Most of his early life was spent as a merchant. At age 40, he began to have revelations from Allah that became the basis for the Koran and the foundation of Islam. By 63, he had unified most of Arabia under a single religion. As of 2015, there are over 1.8 billion Muslims in the world who profess, “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet.” The Life of Muhammad Muhammad was born around 570, AD in Mecca (now in Saudi Arabia). His father died before he was born and he was raised first by his grandfather and then his uncle. He belonged to a poor but respectable family of the Quraysh tribe.

Most tribes were polytheistic, worshipping their own set of gods. The town of Mecca was an important trading and religious center, home to ma...

Hadith (Ahadees-e-Rasul)

Ḥadīth in Islam refers to what the majority of  Muslims  believe to be a record of the words, actions, and the silent approval of the  Islamic prophet   Muhammad . In Quranic perspective, Hadith also called the vast explanation (Arabic: بَيَانَهُۥ ʾbayānahu, literally means "it’s explanation.") of  the Quran , for verse number 16-19 of  Surah Al-Qiyama.   Hadith have been called "the backbone" of  Islamic civilization , and within that religion the authority of hadith as a source for religious law and moral guidance ranks second only to that of the  Quran  (which Muslims hold to be the word of  God  revealed to his messenger Muhammad). While the number of verses pertaining to law in the Quran is relatively few, hadith give direction on everything from details of religious obligations (such as  Ghusl  or  Wudu , ablutions for  salat  prayer), to the correct forms of salutations...
