<b>THE ISLAMIC WAY OF LIFE: PART 1</b>Guidelines from the Quran
When the revelation of the Glorious Quran was completed, twenty-three years after it all began, Allah (God) stated:
"Today I have perfected your religious law for you, and have bestowed upon you the full measure of My blessings, and willed the self-surrender unto Me (Islam) shall be your religion." (5:3)
Unlike many other religions of the world, Islam is a complete way oflife which provides guidance to mankind in all aspects of human endeavor. Instead of bifurcating human life into a multitude of separate and often mutually con¬flicting compartments, Islam requires its adherents to: "Enter into submission (of Allah) completely" (2:207) and to proclaim to the rest of the world: "Say, truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death are (all) for God, the Cherisher of the world." (6:162)
The Islamic way of life is based on the teachings of the Quran as amplified and exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). One of its objectives is that humans have PEACE OF MIND. Material
