DEVOTED TO ALLAH

- As a result of this superstitious understanding
caused by the society of ignorance, Islam is being pre-
sented in a different form rather than in its real nature.
The fact is that Islam is the true faith, in which reason,
beauty, love, understanding, warmth, compassion, clean-
liness, quality and nobility predominate. Prophets have
always been the most civilized people of their time. They
were cultured and enlightened people with refined es-
thetic values. With his manners, the quality of his esthetic
understanding, his beauty, cleanliness and superior moral
values, our Prophet (saas) is the finest role model for all
believers. With his palace, which is known to have been
an architectural masterpiece abounding in many exquisite
places, the Prophet Solomon (as) is one of the most out-
standing examples cited in the Qur’an.
Being a Muslim is to be a servant to Allah and to be
grateful for the blessings granted by Him. It means striv-
ing to know Allah, drawing nearer to Him and becoming
a human being with a noble character.
A true Muslim is one who seeks the approval of his
Creator, Allah, the Almighty, and who has distanced him-
self from any material or spiritual expectation other than
earning His approval.
This is one of the definitions of a Muslim.
