      ISLAM

      A perpetual misconception exists among the masses regarding the Arabic term Islam. Many believe that the definition of this word is peace. However, the actual definition of Islam is SUBMISSION (to The Lord of Creation), not peace. The Arabic word Salaam means peace in the English language. The definition of the Arabic word Muslim is submitter, or one who submits to the will of Allah (God). Since these terms have been clarified, the first and most important principle of Islam is belief in the creator and sustainer of the seen and unseen realms whose name is Allah in the Arabic language. However, he is called by numerous names around the globe. The second principle of Islam is deeds of good, third is prayer, fourth is charity, fifth is fasting, and sixth is pilgrimage to Mecca, Arabia. Let’s begin with the first pillar of Islam which is belief in Allah and the Day of Judgment.

      BELIEF & DEEDS

      Belief in the existence of The Lord of Creation and the execution of good deeds (aside from charity specifically toward the poor) are of such monumental importance to him, if an individual had failed to accomplish the other four principles of Islam while in the physical realm (Prayer, Charity, Fasting, Pilgrimage), that individual would almost certainly be granted eternal paradise in the afterlife, regardless:

      Holy Qur’an / Surah 2

      25. And give good news to those who believe and do good deeds, that for them are Gardens in which rivers flow. Whenever they are given a portion of the fruit thereof, they will say: This is what was given to us before; and they are given the like of it. And for them therein are pure companions and therein they will abide.

      Holy Qur’an / Surah 4

      124. And whoever does good deeds, whether male or female, and he (or she) is a believer — these will enter the Garden, and they will not be dealt with a whit unjustly.

      Bible / James 2

      19. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

      20. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

      21. Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

      Holy Qur’an / Surah 21

      94. So whoever does good deeds and is a believer, there is no rejection of his effort, and We surely write (it) down for him.

      Holy Qur’an / Surah 47

      8. And those who disbelieve, for them is destruction, and He will destroy their works.

      9. That is because they hate that which Allah reveals, so He has rendered their deeds fruitless.

      As is clear in these verses, deeds of good and belief are sufficient for a reservation in the paradise of the afterlife. However, these must also be included in the belief category:

      Holy Qur’an / Surah 4

      136. O you who believe, believe in Allah and His Messenger and the Book which He has revealed to His Messenger and the Book which He revealed before. And whoever disbelieves in Allah and His angels and His Books and His messengers and the Last Day, he indeed strays far away.

      Belief in the last day, actually has a double meaning. The first being an impending day in which there will be catastrophic global destruction:

      Holy Qur’an / Surah 101

      1. The calamity!

      2. What is the calamity?

      3. And what will make thee know how terrible is the calamity?

      4. The day wherein men will be as scattered moths,

      5. And the mountains will be as carded wool.

      Holy Qur’an / Surah 82

      1. When the heaven is cleft asunder,

      2. And when the stars become dispersed,

      3. And when the rivers are made to flow forth,

      4. And when the graves are laid open

      Holy Qur’an / Surah 75

      6. He asks: When is the day of Resurrection?

      7. So when the sight is confused,

      8. And the moon becomes dark,

      9. And the sun and the moon are brought together

      10. Man will say on that day: Whither to flee?

      11. No! There is no refuge!

      As is clear in these verses, the last day will be dreadful, indeed. Some refer to this impending annihilation of humanity as the War of Armageddon, which more than likely refers to the eventual use of nuclear weapons by the countries that possess them. It is said, that there are some 15 thousand nuclear warheads around the globe; the USSA and Russia possessing the greatest number. Consequently, it is inevitable that these weapons will be detonated upon the surface of the Earth either intentionally or accidentally. You shall know the truth of this with supreme certainty in the near future indeed.

      The second meaning of the last day or day of judgment is the day in which the physical body of a human being dies, and the essence or spirit of that human being is then resurrected in order to stand trial in front of The Lord of the Cosmos:

      Holy Qur’an / Surah 82

      13. Surely the righteous are in bliss,

      14. And the wicked are truly in burning Fire

      15. They will enter it on the day of Judgment.

      16. And will not be absent from it.

      17. And what will make thee realize what the day of Judgment is?

      18. Again, what will make thee realize what the day of Judgment is?

      19. The day when no soul controls aught for another soul. And the command on that day is Allah’s.

      Holy Qur’an / Surah 51

      12. They ask: When is the day of Judgment?

      13. (It is) the day when they are tried at the Fire.

      14. Taste your persecution! This is what you would hasten on.

      15. Surely the dutiful are amidst Gardens and fountains,

      16. Taking that which their Lord gives them. Surely they were before that the doers of good.

      Holy Qur’an / Surah 37

      16. When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be raised,

      17. Or our fathers of yore?

      18. Say: Yea, and you will be humiliated.

      19. So it will be but one cry, when lo! they will see.

      20. And they will say: O woe to us! This is the day of Requital.

      21. This is the day of Judgment, which you called a lie.

      22. Gather together those who did wrong and their associates, and what they worshipped

      23. Besides Allah, then lead them to the way to hell.

      Therefore, a true believer must believe in both meanings of the last day in order to attain eternal paradise in the realm unseen.

      PRAYER

      The third principal of Islam is prayer to The Lord of all creation. Prayer is mandatory for all who proclaim to be Muslims. Though I could deliver the numerous details of the prayer ritual of those who claim to be Muslims in this day, I will refrain from doing so to a large degree, for it is unnecessary. Rather, I will predominately address the reason or purpose for prayer, which is the abyss of the subject.

      Holy Qur’an / Surah 2

      45. And seek assistance through patience and prayer, and this is hard except for the humble ones.

      Humility before The Lord of all creation is the highest purpose or reason for prayer. If you are of those who pray, you should know that The Lord has no need for you or your prayers. He desires your prayer and service to him, yet does not need them whatsoever. Therefore, your prayers are of benefit only to yourself. Even if you pray for (or on behalf of) another human being, your prayers yet and still benefit only yourself.

      The greatest physical postures of humility before The Lord are prostrate (lying flat on your stomach with your face on the ground), or kneeling and leaning forward with your forehead touching the ground:

      Bible / Matthew 26

      38. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

      39. And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

      Holy Qur’an / Surah 17

      107. Say: Believe in it or believe not. Surely those who are given the knowledge before it, fall down prostrate on their faces, when it is recited to them,

      109. And they fall down on their faces, weeping, and it adds to their humility.

      Holy Qur’an / Surah 2

      43 And keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and bow down with those who bow down.

      26 And when We pointed to Abraham the place of the House, saying: Associate naught with me, and purify My House for those who make circuits and stand to pray and bow and prostrate themselves.

      Bible / Genesis 17

      3. And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying:

      Consequently, it is best to assume the physical posture of humility before The Lord of the Cosmos that his holy prophets (Jesus and Abraham) exemplify in these verses. However, The Lord is not as rigid in his prayer policies as many of his worshippers are in this day. In fact, The Lord is not as concerned about the prayer posture, as he is about the praying, itself. These verses corroborate this:

      Holy Qur’an / Surah 17

      110. Say: Call on Allah
