What Is Islam in Simple Words?

The first important point regarding General Steps to Convert to Islam in South Africa what I will describe currently is "what is Islam in simple words?". I want you to understand that first before you find out more explanations in this article because it's a fundamental question in this discussion that must be recognized properly.

As a whole, many people understand that Islam is the religious beliefs of the last skies. What I suggest by the religious beliefs of heaven is the faith that originates from God (Allah). Islam was brought by the Prophet Muhammad as the last Prophet and Messenger of Allah.

That's right right. You aren't wrong if you understand Islam in simple words how it's explained in the paragraph above. But there are some other very simple points that can make you understand what Islam is.

We can find an description of some various other very simple things that can make you understand what Islam remains in simple words in the hadith below:

عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِذَ طَلَعَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ شَدِيْدُ بَيَاضِ الثِّيَابِ شَدِيْدُ سَوَادِ الشَّعْرِ ، لَا نَرَى عَلَيْهِ أَثَرَ السَّفَرِ وَلَا نَعْرِفُهُ ، حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَى رَسُوْلِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَسْنَدَ رُكْبَتَهُ إِلَى رُكْبَتِهِ وَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى فَخْذِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَخْبِرْنِيْ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ ، مَا الْإِسْلَامُ ؟ قَالَ : أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إلَّا اللهَ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُوْلُ اللهِ وَتُقِيْمَ الصَّلَاةِ وُتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصُوْمَ رَمَضَانَ وَتَحُجَّ الْبَيْتَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيْلًا. قَالَ : صَدَقْتَ

From Umar bin Khattab radliyallahu anhu. He said, "While we were sitting with Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alaihi wa sallam someday, unexpectedly a guy who was wearing very white clothes and very black hair came to us. We didn't see the darkness beneath him, until he attracted close to to the Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. He after that leaned his knees on his (Prophet Muhammad's) knees and positioned his 2 practical his (Prophet Muhammad) thighs. After that he said, "O Muhammad, tell me about Islam: what is Islam?" He (Prophet Muhammad) replied, "(Islam is) you birth witness that there's no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, you perform prayers, you pay Zakat, you fast in Ramadan, and you perform Hajj if you're able to do so." (The hadith is long).

Ladies and Gentlemen! If we understand the hadith over, we can conclude that Islam in simple words is as adheres to:

• Birth witness that there's no god but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Messenger.
• Perform the obligatory prayers 5 times a day (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha).
• Paying Zakat for Muslims that have the commitment to pay Zakat.
• Fasting in the month of Ramadan.
• Doing Hajj for those Muslims who are able to do so.

Those are five important things that we can use as a standard to understand Islam in simple words. These 5 points are the five columns of Islam. We can find this description in the hadith below:

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : بُنِيَ الْإِسْلَامُ عَلَى خَمْسٍ : شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُوْلُ اللهِ , وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ , وَإِيْتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ , وَصَوْمِ رَمَضَانَ , وَحَجِّ الْبَيْتِ

From Abdullah bin Umar radliyallahu anhuma, he said, "The Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, "Islam is built on 5 things; statement that there's no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, doing prayers, paying zakat, fasting in Ramadan, and visiting Baitullah (doing Hajj)."

Is It Real That Islam Is a Excellent Religious beliefs for Us?

The second important point on General Steps to Convert to Islam in South Africa what I will explain currently is "is it real that Islam is an excellent faith for us?". I want you to understand that currently so you can understand Islam well before you actually convert to Islam.

As a whole, there are 2 main reasons why Islam is an excellent faith for us:

• Islam guarantees joy in this world and the hereafter for Muslims who practice Islamic teachings very well.
• The credibility of both main resources of Islam is well maintained from time to time. Both main resources of Islam that I am referring to are the Quran and the hadiths. Because of this, the credibility of Muslims as a people who follow religious teachings that originated from heaven is very well maintained.

There is a lot conversation on these two main factors. Sadly, I can't clarify all of it in this article because we would certainly need a great deal of time and words.

So, in simple terms, if you ask me, "is it real that Islam is an excellent faith for us?", the answer is "of course. Islam is a great religious beliefs for us."
