This section is dedicated to providing a better understanding of Islam, but it is still under construction and content will be added continually.
What is Islam?
Islam is surrendering oneself to God. The word Islam derives from a word meaning “peace.” By surrendering oneself to God, a person finds peace. Islam is over 1400 years old and is an Abrahamic faith like Christianity and Judaism. Islam is the second largest religion in the world; it is also the fastest growing religion in the world. Muslims consider Islam more than just a religion – it is a way of life.

I’m a filmmaker who is super interested in the Islamic culture and want to understand it better. This religion is so complex and so beautiful that i would like explore it better through story telling. I’m looking for great period stories, and so i figured i would post something here and see if anyone could direct me in the right place to find stuff.

this article is something good for people that just learned how to read and for people that are old. the people in this world don’t understand that we are not just muslims, we are the servants of allah (swt). thats why i believe people should know, that our lives revolve around islam and nothing more.
