A Wanderer in This Dunya

Imam Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul-Wahhab raḥimahullāh said:

الأصلُ الثَّاني : معرفةُ دينِ الإسلامِ بالأدلةِ “The second fundamental principle: knowledge of the religion of Islam with its proofs.”

His saying, “with the proofs” meaning: knowledge of the religion of Islam cannot be by way of blind following, or by way of conjecture from the person. The religion must be based upon proofs from the Book and the Sunnah.

Islam means total submission to Allah (Exalted be He) through belief in His Oneness, and showing subservient and servile obedience to Him.

The Arabic root word "Aslama" means to show submission and surrender to someone and obey his commands.

Accordingly, Islam means surrender and submission to Allah's Will by means of believing in His Oneness, being devoted to Him, obeying His commandments and abandoning what He has prohibited.
