Q 13: What is Islam?
A--- Islam means perfect submission and subjection to Allah; and testifying complete Monotheism and freedom from polytheism and disobedience to Him. Allah, Most High says:
{And who can be better in religion than one who submits his fate (himself) to Allah}.
(An-Nisa', 125)
He says:
{And whosoever submits his face (himself) to Allah, while he is a Muhsin,[3] then he has grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold}.
(Luqman, 22)
He says:
{And your Ilah (god) is One Ilah (God -Allah), so you must submit to Him Alone (in Islam). And (O Muhammad) give glad tidings to the Mukhbitun[4]}.
(Al-Hajj, 34)
