The beauty of Islam

It's a beautiful way

Islam is a beautiful way to connect with God and there is no doubt that one can follow Islam and find peace in its truest form. We, through this discussion, will try to look at some of the most essential features of Islam.

What's the concept of God in Islam

The highest point of any path is assessed on the basis of what it has to say about God. Islam has some beautiful statements on God and these statements echo the same feelings as expressed by other paths.

God is One and Unique:

Islam says that God is One and Unique. It doesn't have a second. For that matter, it has no equals or rivals.

God is Perfect

Islam maintains that God is Perfect. God has no limitations or conditions.

God alone is worthy of all worship

Islam declares that God alone is worthy of worship. There is no reason why humanity should run after the worldly power or riches. Seeking God's grace should be the only objective

God is the All-Powerful

Islam says that God is All-Powerful. There is nothing beyond His reach or reign. God has full authority and power over all things.

God is beyond attributes

Islam says that if people obey God, it does not increase God's power; similarly, if people don't obey, it does not decrease the power. Isn't it beautiful. The concept of followers is made so clear--a good human being is for himself and not for God. He does not need supporters--we need good people for our society.

Other injunctions for people

There are many injunctions that are given in Islam. Some of them are beautiful and should be followed.

Prayer

The concept of prayer is central to Islam. It emphasizes on the significance of prayer by laying down the five daily prayers, which are geared towards the enrichment of the soul and not simply for asking or seeking benefits from God.

Charity

Islam says that charity leads to selflessness and makes one more helpful to others. It is not meant for show and pomp but to be humble.

Fasting

Islam encourages fasting because it helps in spiritual cleansing apart from the physical restraint that one has to put upon himself in order to observe the fasting.

Pilgrimage

Humanity unites when it reaches to a place that has common objective--sharing the love of God. Islam says pilgrimage is healthy because it brings together people of different races, colors, status and nationalities.
