Introduction to Islam — The word "Islam" is an Arabic word which means "submission to the will of God". This word comes from the same root as the Arabic word "salam", which means "peace". As such, the religion of Islam teaches that in order to achieve true peace of mind and surety of heart, one must submit to God and live according to His Divinely revealed Law.

Quran — The Holy Qur'an is the book that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) by Allah (God). It contains guidance for mankind that must be followed and implemented into our lives in order to reach our ultimate goal, paradise. It was revealed over a period of 23 years to Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) who memorized it and called on his scribes to write it down.

Muhammad ibnu Abdillah was born in Mecca in the year 569 CE. He earned his living as a trader and was known by his people as al-amin (the trustworthy one). As Muhammad (pbuh) grew up, he became known for his truthfulness, generosity and sincerity, so that he was sought after for his ability to arbitrate in disputes. His reputation and personal qualities also led to his marriage, at the age of twenty-five, to Khadijah, a widow whom he had assisted in business. When Muhammad (saas) reached the age of 40, the angel Gabriel came to him with revelations that established his prophethood.
