About Islam

What does Islam mean?
The word Islam comes from the Arabic word meaning "peace" and/or "submission". Islam's fundamental theological concept is the belief that there is only One God, Allah (S.W.T).

In the Qur'an, Surah Al-Ikhlas (Surah 112: 1 - 4), it is stated:
1. Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
3. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
4. And there is none like unto Him.
