What’s Islam?

Islam is not a religion — it’s an idea:

The idea of pure monotheism.

Islam is not in the name — it’s in the meaning:

The meaning is to completely submit yourself to the one true God.

Anyone with that level of submission to oneness, with or without the name, is a true Muslim.

Everyone else is following some version of deception.

“Knock, And He’ll open the door
Vanish, And He’ll make you shine like the sun
Fall, And He’ll raise you to the heavens
Become nothing, And He’ll turn you into everything.”

— Rumi
