Islam is peace, indeed!
I read from one blogger that Islam means peace.
Let me speak from my experience. I was a christian two years ago when I started to study deeper about Islam and Muslims. It was two years ago when I embraced Islam as my own true religion, Allah is my god and Muhammad is my prophet.
I always hear that Muslims are terrorists and violence-loving people. The perception of the world is if you are a Muslim, you will bring chaos or spread terror in the community. But I want to tell you my friends that Islam is for peace and unity.
However, there are Muslims as well as Christians who were may be blinded by their own love for power that forget that religions teach only good things for mankind. There are Muslims as well as Christians who are doing bad. There are Muslims as well as Christians inside the prisons because they rob, they murdered, they killed.
But being one who beleives in the grace of Allah, each one is accountable for his being. No other person is to carry our loads. If I do bad for other people, it is only I who will be punished. If I do good for other people, it will only be me who will be rewarded. Yes, we can ask help. But it will always be us who will submit to Allah, whether we do good or bad.
So my dear friends, instead of thinking about what bad others are doing to his mankind, lets us contemplate and look within ourselves. Are we worthy of Allah's grace and mercy? Are we doing good because others can see? Do we deserve punishment or reward?
Let me remind all of us. We alone, not our father or mother, our brother or sister, or our neighbors, or our officemates or schoolmates who are accountable for all deeds we do, whether good or bad. We are all accountable to our own god, and to our Allah!
