Real Happiness and Inner Peace

Real happiness and peace can be found in submitting to the commands of the Creator and the Sustainer of this world. God has said in the Quran:

Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest. (Quran, 13:28)

On the other hand, the one who turns away from the Quran will have a life of hardship in this world. God has said:
But whoever turns away from the Quran,1 he will have a hard life, and We will raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment. (Quran, 20:124)

This may explain why some people commit suicide while they enjoy the material comfort money can buy. For example, look at Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam), formerly a famous pop singer who used to earn sometimes more than $150,000 a night. After he converted to Islam, he found true happiness and peace, which he had not found in material success.2

The Analyser/Islam strives to provide both the Muslim and the non-Muslim with correct information of Islam. It is my aim to educate viewers of thie site and to show the Truth of Islam, in all its beauty.

Beginning with Adam, the message of Islam ("submission" to the Almighty God) has been propagated throughout time. For example, all of the Prophets mentioned in the Bible are recognized and distinguished in Islam; in fact, Islam is a culmination of the monotheistic religions that came before it. There are many similarities between Islamic practices and the moral practices of other major religions (outlined in the "Compared" section of this site).

If you are Muslim, there are many articles in the various sections to the left, and you are bound to learn something new insha'Allah. I would appreciate suggestions or correction notices to Mail Me

If you are non-Muslim and need an introduction to Islam, please click here for outlined articles, or pick a topic from the menu on the left.

Educating oneself frees the mind of prejudice and ignorance regarding other cultures and religions. Take some time to learn about the religion of the Muslims, and you too will come to see a How Beautiful is Islam and the calling of Prophet Mohamed(PBUH).

AN EXPLANATION OF THE PERFECT NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES OF GOD

It is not possible to perfectly translate the 99 names of Allah from their original Arabic into English. However, here are some fairly close explanations.

"He is Allah (God), the Creator, the Originator, The Fashioner, to Him belong the most beautiful names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, do declare His praises and Glory. And He is the Exalted in Might, The Wise. (Quran 59:24)

"The most beautiful names belong to Allah (God): so call on Him by them;..." (Quran 7:180)
