Who Is Allah? Understanding Islam Clearly | Yusuf Estes

Описание: In this powerful and clear lecture, Yusuf Estes explains the true foundations of Islam — what it means, what Muslims believe, and why Islam is centered entirely on worshipping one God alone.

Islam is often misunderstood, but at its core it is simple, logical, and deeply spiritual: a sincere return to the Creator.

🌿 1. Islam Means Surrender to One God

Islam is a religion based on worshipping the One true God, known in Arabic as Allah.

The word Islam comes from Aslama, meaning:

Surrender

Submission

Obedience

Sincerity

Peace

True peace comes only after sincere surrender to Allah.

Because sincerity is essential, Islam cannot be forced on anyone.

🕌 2. Who Is a Muslim?

A Muslim is simply:

Someone who submits to God’s guidance.

Islam is not about race, culture, or language — it is about sincere devotion to the Creator.

🌙 3. Allah Is the Same God Worshipped by Prophets

Muslims believe Allah is not a “different deity.”

Even Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews use the word Allah for God.

Allah is:

One

Unique

Beyond gender or partners

The Creator of everything

✨ 4. Belief in All Prophets

Islam teaches belief in all major prophets, including:

Abraham

Moses

David

Solomon

Jesus

Muhammad ﷺ (the final messenger)

Every prophet carried the same timeless message:

Worship God alone, without partners.

📖 5. The Qur’an as the Final Revelation

Islam affirms previous scriptures:

Torah

Psalms

Gospel

But Muslims believe the Qur’an is the final preserved revelation.

The Qur’an literally means:

“Recitation”

It is seen as guidance for all humanity until the end of time.

⚖️ 6. Life Is a Test

Islam teaches that life is a test of:

Faith

Worship

Moral character

Justice

Avoiding oppression

Repentance and righteousness

Allah is Merciful, and the door of forgiveness is always open.

⭐ 7. The Six Articles of Faith

Muslims believe in:

Allah

Angels

Divine Books

Prophets

Resurrection & Judgment

Destiny (Qadr)

🕋 8. The Five Pillars of Islam

The foundation of Muslim practice includes:

Shahada (Declaration of Faith)

Salah (Prayer)

Sawm (Fasting Ramadan)

Zakah (Charity)

Hajj (Pilgrimage)

🌟 Final Message

Islam is not a mystery or a complicated ideology.

It is a complete way of life rooted in:

Worshipping One Creator

Living ethically

Following the prophets

Seeking peace through sincere submission

This lecture is a beautiful introduction to the true meaning of Islam.
