The Meaning of Islam

Question:
He asks and says: What is the meaning of Islam?
May Allah reward you.

Answer:
Islam: It is submission to Allah, and humbling oneself to Him by doing His commands and leaving His prohibitions. This is Islam. Islam means: submission and humility to Allah through His oneness and sincerity to Him, obeying His commands, and leaving His prohibitions. This is Islam. Included in this are: performing the prayer, paying the obligatory alms, fasting Ramadan, performing the major pilgrimage, dutifulness to parents, maintaining family ties, and leaving all sins; all of these are included in Islam. It was called the religion of Islam because it is humility to Allah, submission to His obedience, and leaving His disobedience. Therefore, it is called Islam. It is said: So-and-so submitted to so-and-so, meaning he humbled himself to him and submitted to his commands. So Islam is: submission to the commands of Allah, and obedience to the commands of Allah, out of humility, out of humility, out of brokenness, and out of desire for what is with Allah, pleasing Him (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
