10 Things I Like About Islam





1- Islam is the purpose of my life



2- In Islam all men are equal! No difference between a white man or a black man, a person is NOT defined by skin color.



3- Women are highly regarded in Islam (unlike what most people think, that they are oppressed) they are protected, respected, and have full rights according to Islamic law. It is the only religion that recognized women's rights.



4- Islam is not just about worship, its about morals and ethics. Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) was sent to teach people how to behave with each other. How a husband should treat his wife. How a father should raise his children. How sons and daughters should respect mothers, and so on...



5- Islam and science go hand in hand. There are tons of scientific facts mentioned in the Quran, 1400 years ago, that were discovered only recently by modern science.



6- Knowlege is the most improtant aspect of the Islamic religion. The first word sent to prophet Mohammad by the All Mighty through the Archangel Gabriel was "Read"



7- Islam treats people from other religions with respect, and acknowleges their rights



8- Animals and plants have rights in Islam too!



9- If a person follows the true teachings of Islam, he would find happiness and peace, even if he was the poorest of people



10- Muslims worship only ONE God. We do not worship people, animals, or objects. He is the one true God, the one who created life, and is worthy of worship
