What's Islam?
Islam is not a new religion, but the same truth God revealed through all His prophets to every people. For a fifth of the world's population, Islam is both a religion and a complete way of life — one of peace, mercy, and forgiveness.
In this short presentation, Yusuf Estes lays out what Islam actually is, in plain terms: not a new religion, but the same message God revealed through every prophet before — from Abraham and Moses to Jesus — now completed through the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon them all. For over a billion people across every race and culture, Islam is both a personal faith and a complete way of life, built on submission to God, mercy toward others, and the Five Pillars: faith, prayer, charity, fasting, and pilgrimage.
The video only scratches the surface. Below are two short reads that go deeper into the questions people ask most, and how Islam answers the biggest question of all: why we're here.
