ISLAM: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, MOST GRACIOUS, MOST MERCIFUL
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016)

“AD-DEEN” - usually translated as “the religion” more
accurately it should be “a total way of life or a
comprehensive system of living”
• There is no moment in our life that is
detached from Allah.
• Islam not only provides for guidance in
matters of worship, but also as to how one
is to conduct oneself in daily matters
(social, economic etc.)
UNDERSTANDING FROM THE TERMS

Further elucidation of term “AD-DEEN ”
❑ The primary significations of the term “deen ” thus can be
reduced to four:
(1) Indebtedness
(2) Submissiveness/submission/surrender
(3) Judicious power
(4) Natural inclination or tendency

“ISLAM” –
“(peaceful) submission and obedience to God”
Name and description of the religion
revealed by God, since Adam a.s. and
then on continuously established by
many prophets and it culminated with
Prophet Muhammad ‫ﷺ‬ being the last in
the line of prophethood.

“MUSLIM” - literally it means “one who submits
and obey, willingly surrenders to the will of God in
every moment of life”
• Its usage is not limited to only the time
of Muhammad [pbuh] but also to all those
who genuinely submit to the divine will
revealed to them in the past.

“ALLAH” - the name of God in Arabic. It refers to
the One and only God of the Universe.
• A proper noun, without any equivalent
in other non-Semitic language

SNIPPETS FROM LIFE MISSION OF MUHAMMAD ‫ﷺ‬

• Not in the least do I care for anything except that I may have Thy
protection for myself.
• I seek shelter in Your light - The light that illuminates the Heavens
and dispels all sorts of darkness, and which controls all affairs in this
world as well as in the Hereafter.
• May it never be that I should incur Thy wrath, or that You should be
displeased with me. I must remove the cause of Thy displeasure until
You are pleased. There is no strength nor power but through Thee."
