Detailed explanation-2: -The Arabic word ‘Islam’ means ‘submission to God’, and the Muslim is one who surrenders hirnself, or herself, uncon-ditiona11y to God’s will, ‘as if he or she were a feather on the breath of God’. Muhammad (p.b.u.h.)*, who lived from 570-632, was the channel through which God’s revelation came to man.

It is daunting task to be sure and one that we are under-powered to do on our own (2 Timothy 1:7). Think for a moment of your life. Are you living it on your terms?

Detailed explanation-4: -Since many things that happen on earth as a part of Allah’s decree are bad/evil, “the will of Allah” can be divided into two sorts-the “universal will” (everything that happens, the subject of this article); and the “legislative will", what Allah commands human beings to do that they sometimes do not (obey sharia).
