Islam is the monotheistic religion articulated by the Qur'an, a text considered by its adherents to be the verbatim word of God (Arabic Allah), and by the teachings and normative example (called the Sunnah collected in the hadith) of Muhammad, the last Prophet of Islam. The word Islam means 'Submission (to God)',[1] and an adherent of Islam is called a Muslim "The messenger of Allah said: "Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, to perform the prayers, to pay the zakat, to fast in Ramadhan, and to make the pilgrimage to the House if you are able to do so." He said: " You have spoken rightly", Jebreel (Gabriel) from Number 2 of "Al-Nawawi's Forty Hadiths."
The most important question that a Muslim can ask: What Does Allah want from me as a Muslim? What am I supposed to do in this worldly life I have been granted? We can rephrase this same question in more general terms, revealing that it is indeed the Big Question for all human beings: What is the purpose of my life?
As Muslims, we often hasten to answer this question by quoting the verse of the Qur'an where Allah tells us: "I only created human beings and jinn to worship me.|" [Sûrah al-Dhâriyât: 56]
