IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, MOST GRACIOUS, MOST MERCIFUL

A BEGINNERS COURSE ON ISLAM Lessons on Fardhu Ain in English for Adults conducted by Ustaz Zhulkeflee Hj IsmailAll Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)*INTRODUCTIONLESSON # 1A

How would you respond to basic questions regarding your religion?IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, MOST GRACIOUS, MOST MERCIFULAll Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)

AD-DEEN - usually translated as the religion more accurately it should be a total way of life or a comprehensive system of living

a Muslim regard his/her entire life as a religious experience. Islam provides for guidance in, not only matters of worship, but as to how he/she is to conduct oneself in daily matters - be it social, economic etc.All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)

Usually translated as religion (borrowed from the available Western equivalent, but it does not accurately convey the Arabic significance of this term).

In Arabic, a word is derived from its tri-lateral roots (when written has no vowels) which can be variously pronounced (with vowels and other emphasis) from a broad semantic field of meanings possible from this root:

All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)

from root word daa-na which can also mean : be indebted; to owe ones thanks; to be subjected; bow; yield; owe allegiance.from dain which means debt; obligation; liability.from dai-nuu-na which means judgement; Last Judgement.related to the word maad-dana which means to build or found cities to civilise, to refine and to humanise from which is derived the word tamaddun meaning civilization and refinement in social culture


The primary significations of the term deen thus can be reduced to four:Indebtedness

(2) Submissiveness/submission/surrender

(3) Judicious power

(4) Natural inclination or tendencyAll Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)

Thus, the implication of religion in the ordinary usage which tends to be affected by secular thoughts is not in accord to Islams concept of religion which is life in totality, all-encompassing and where worldly and heavenly concern cannot be dichotomised. A Muslim always is mindful that ultimately he is a servant of God whether in mosque or in the market place, in private or in public etc. Life of this world is intrinsically linked with the Hereafter (also referred to as Yaum al-Deen -The day of Judgement).


ISLAM (peaceful) submission and obedience to God

name and description of the religion revealed by God, since Adam a.s. and then on continuously established by many prophets and it culminated with Prophet Muhammad s.a.a.w. being the last in the line of prophethood.All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)

MUSLIM - literally it means one who submits and obey, willingly surrenders to the will of God

it refers to followers of Islam, which now numbers over 1.5 billion people of diverse race and nationality. It is wrong and in bad taste to refer to them as Muhammadan or Mussalman All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)

Islam which literally means submission, resignation, reconciliation, to the will of God and with the addition of al- (a definite article) it refers to the name of this religion.

It comes from same root as s-l-m meaning peace ; saleema meaning to be safe and sound, secure, to be free, blameless etc.All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)

The term Muslim literally mean one who submits, is reconciled to the will of God.And its usage is not limited to only the time of Muhammad [pbuh] but also to all those who genuinely submit to the divine will revealed to them in the past.


It is thus that Muslims regard the religion revealed by God to mankind, in essence, as being one and the same, from the prophets Adam, Nuh .. up to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon them all), referred to as al- Islam . For its basic teachings can be summarised as the call to man towards the way of total servitude to Gods will.All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)

It is to be noted that Muhammad [pbuh] did not himself named this religion, but the term Islam as well as Muslimun (Muslims) is based on the revelation which he received from God (i.e. the Quran) :


Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is al-Islam (mans self-surrender unto Him)

(Quran: aali-Imran: 3 : 19)All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)


And strive hard in Gods cause with all the striving that is due to Him: it is He Who has elected you [to carry His message] and has laid no hardship on you in [anything that pertains to] religion, [and made you follow] the creed of your forefather Abraham. It is He Who has named you - in bygone times as well as in this (divine writ) al-Muslimeen (those who have surrendered themselves to God)(Quran: al-Hajj : 22 : 78)All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)

ALLAH - the name of God in Arabic. It refers to the One and only God of the Universe.

In Arabic it is in a proper noun, the name which has no equivalent in other non-Semitic language. Allah is the Unique, the Absolute One having no partners, Creator and Lord (Sustainer) of the Universe.All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)


AND THEY say, "Be Jews" - or, "Christians" - and you shall be on the right path."

Say : "Nay, but [ours is] the creed of Abraham, who turned away from all that is false, and was not of those who ascribe divinity to aught besides God (Allah).

(Quran : al- Baqarah : 2 : 135)All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)


Say: "We believe in God (Allah), and in that which has been bestowed from on high upon us, and that which has been bestowed upon Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and, their descendants, and that which has been vouchsafed to Moses and Jesus; and that which has been vouchsafed to all the [other] prophets by their Sustainer: we make no distinction between any of them. And it is unto Him that we surrender ourselves.

IMPORTANT NOTE: MAKKAH is in PARANTo Muslims, the above (Genesis 21: 18-21) relates to the history of the beginning of Makkah, with the tribulation of the family of Prophet Ibrahim a.s.- Hajar and his first-born infant Ismail a.s. After Hajar had frantically ran between the two hillocks of Safa and Marwa whilst at the same time supplicating to Allah s.w.t. in search of water, they were bestowed with the well of zam-zam. This is the SAIE, one of the rites re-enacted till today by pilgrims. And beside the well of zam-zam, Prophets Ibrahim and Ismail a.s. were later shown the foundation of the oldest house of worship upon which they rebuild the Kabah.
