Islam - Muhammad ibn Abdullah as-Saheem

Kitabu cha Kiswahili ambacho mwandishi anatoa utangulizi mfupi wa Uislamu kwa kuonyesha kanuni zake kuu pamoja na baadhi ya dhana tunazopaswa kuzifuata tunapowaalika watu kwenye Uislamu. Uislamu ni neno la Kiarabu linaloashiria kunyenyekea, kujisalimisha, na utii. Kama dini, Uislamu unasimama kwa utii kamili na utii kwa Mwenyezi Mungu - ndiyo maana unaitwa Uislamu. Maana nyingine halisi ya neno "Uislamu" ni "amani." Hii inaashiria kwamba mtu anaweza kupata amani ya kweli ya mwili na akili kupitia tu kunyenyekea na kumtii Mwenyezi Mungu. Maisha hayo ya utii huleta amani ya moyo na kuweka amani ya kweli katika jamii kwa ujumla.Uislamu ni dini ya ukweli. Ni kielelezo cha kanuni ya maisha ambayo Mwenyezi Mungu, Muumba na Mola wa ulimwengu, ameiteremsha kwa ajili ya kuwaongoza wanadamu.

A book in Swahili in which the author provides a brief introduction to Islam through showing its great principles along with some concepts we have to follow when inviting people to Islam.Islam is an Arabic word that denotes submission, surrender, and obedience. As a religion, Islam stands for complete submission and obedience to Allah - that is why it is called Islam. The other literal meaning of the word "Islam" is "peace." This signifies that one can achieve real peace of body and of mind only through submission and obedience to Allah. Such a life of obedience brings peace of the heart and establishes real peace in society at large. Islam is the religion of truth. It is the embodiment of the code of life which Allah, the Creator and Lord of the universe, has revealed for the guidance of mankind.
