The True Meaning of Islam

Описание: This source presents a reflective interpretation of Islam as a personal choice and an individual decision rooted in offering peace and refraining from harming others. It considers this state the minimum requirement before rising to the level of Iman—understood here as a behavioral state of granting safety and assurance to others.
The text explains that Islam is a universal message that predates the mission of Prophet Muhammad, shared by all prophets throughout history. It is portrayed as the opposite of criminality and injustice, rather than a set of ritual practices.
The author emphasizes that a true Muslim is someone from whose tongue and hand people are safe, stressing that the status of Mu’min is granted by the community based on the sense of safety they feel when dealing with the individual.
The content also criticizes tendencies that turn religion into a tool of oppression or a means to condemn new ideas, calling instead for understanding the Qur’an as a message addressed to the intellect—one that encourages coexistence and peace.
The source concludes that guidance is tied to abandoning injustice, and that the reform of societies begins with establishing a comprehensive concept of peace in human interactions.
