•  Who are the Muslims?

One billion people from a vast range of races, nationalities and cultures across the globe - from the southern Philippines to Nigeria - are united by their common Islamic faith. About 18% live in the Arab world; the world&#039;s largest Muslim community is in Indonesia; substantial parts of Asia and most of Africa are Muslim, while significant minorities are to be found in the Soviet Union, China, North and South America, and Europe.

•  What do Muslims believe?

Muslims believe in One, Unique, Incomparable God; in the Angels created by Him; in the prophets through whom His revelations were brought to mankind; in the Day of Judgement and individual accountability for actions; in God&#039;s complete authority over human destiny and in life after death. Muslims believe in a chain of prophets starting with Adam and including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Elias, Jonah, John the Baptist, and Jesus, peace be upon them. But God&#039;s final message to man, a reconfirmation of the eternal message and a summing-up of all that has gone before was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through Gabriel.

•  How does someone become a Muslim?

Simply by saying &#039;there is no god apart from God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God.&#039; By this declaration the believer announces his or her faith in all God&#039;s messengers, and the scriptures they brought.

•  What does &#039;Islam&#039; mean?

The Arabic word &#039;Islam&#039; simply means &#039;submission&#039;, and derives from a word meaning &#039;peace&#039;. In a religious context it means complete submission to the will of God. &#039;Mohammedanism&#039; is thus a misnomer because it suggests that Muslims worship Muhammad rather than God. &#039;Allah&#039; is the Arabic name for God, which is used by Arab Muslims and Christians alike.

•  Why does Islam often seem strange?

Islam may seem exotic or even extreme in the modern world. Perhaps this is because religion does not dominate everyday life in the West today, whereas Muslims have religion always uppermost in their minds, and make no division between secular and sacred. They believe that the Divine Law, the Shari&#039;a, should be taken very seriously, which is why issues related to religion are still so important.

		<title>Comment on Istikhara &#8211; The guidance prayer by Aalya</title>

		<description>Thank you for your comment 
I have found this online regarding the number of times to perform it 

&lt;em&gt;When one is not clear about the result of the istikhara, the fuqaha mention that it is recommend to repeat it, up to 7 times if necessary (usually done on separate occasions). [cf: Radd al-Muhtar]

It is not necessary that you get a dream or even a &quot;feeling.&quot; Rather, the istikhara is a prayer that Allah guide you towards that which is best (khayr) for you. If you do the prayer of guidance (istikhara) with the proper manners, the most important of which is to truly consign the matter to Allah and suspend your own inclinations, then Allah will make events unfold in the direction that is the best for your worldly and next-worldly affairs.

		<description>Ma&#039;ashallah, this is very useful.
May I kindly enquire with reference to the suggestion that
it is better to do the istikhara 7 seven times.
Is this sunnah? May I kindly enquire about the 
daleel?
Jazakallah khairaan and may Allah bless and reward
you.</description>
