The Perfection of Islam

Did we ever find a religion attacked as often as Islam was through the media?

Regardless, that religion is said by The Almighty to have been perfected for mankind:

“This day I have perfected your religion” is

a famous Quranic verse (Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:3) signifying that Islam, as revealed through Prophet Muhammad, is a complete and final way of life, with all core teachings and principles established, marking the completion of God’s favor and approval of Islam as the ultimate religion for humanity.

Islam is a religion and holds a name like no other.

Unlike the other religions who are named after human beings or even places, Islam means Peace through submission to A Superior Being Responsible for all of creation.

Anybody can share what they know here concerning the Perfection of Islam.

Criticisms are welcome and misconceptions shall be cleared hopefully.

Every time, before a Muslim (A submitter to Islam) eats or drinks, s/he has to utter Tasmiyah.

AI Overview

Tasmiyah (or Tasmiyya) refers to saying “Bismillah” (In the name of Allah) before starting an action in Islam, but it also commonly denotes a Muslim naming ceremony for newborns, often held around the seventh day, involving prayers, shaving the baby’s hair, and giving a name, especially in places like Indonesia and South Africa where names like Tasmiyah are also popular personal names.

A Dua is an invocational sentence towards The Almighty to seek His Protection generally.

I will correct the above by changing ‘‘khubusi’’ and ‘‘khabaiss’’ to ‘‘khubuthi’’ and ‘‘khabaith’’.

This would change the syllable from the ‘‘see’’ and ‘‘iss’’ terminational sound to ‘‘th’’ and ‘‘ith’’ respectively, as in ‘‘thatch’’ and ‘‘froth’’ as examples.

We have invocations for practically every action and happenstances.

On seeing dark clouds for example, there’s an invocation for His Protection concerning the possible evil thereof.

During ablutions there are invocations on washing one’s hands, mouth, rinsing of the nose and expelling things out thereof too.

During same ablutions, there are invocations to be uttered when washing one’s face, right and left arms, ears, nape, and right and left feet too.

And all that is to be done before each and every obligatory prayer which must be offered five times a day.

We know of the wordings ‘Bismillah’, meaning ‘In The Name of Allah’, when recited ensures being Blessed whether in one way or the other.

Another similar Wording would be ‘Bismihi Ta’ala’, meaning ‘In The Name of The Exalted’.

When we feel under evil influence, we read Ta’awudh:

A’uudhubilllahi Minash Shaytanir Rajim

Translation: I seek Protection with Allah from Satan the accursed.

Many years ago, someone gave me an official German edition of the Koran. He wanted to convert me because he thought I was nice and didn’t want me to go to hell. At that time, I didn’t believe in anything. I didn’t want the book, but then I read it on the bus ride home. I didn’t start at the beginning, but leafed through it and read here and there. Allah seemed to me to be a very cruel and unjust God. Far from being merciful.

I don’t remember everything, but I do remember:

“Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them,”

“When the unbelievers sin, do not be angry, but rejoice, for the more they sin, the worse I can punish them. I will burn their skin and let it grow back so that I can burn them again and again.”

“It is better to take a slave girl than an unbeliever as your wife.”

Etc., etc.

The entire Koran reads so unpleasantly, as if Allah were not a loving God but a terrible dictator.

I gave the book back to the man and asked if this was the German edition for Islamists. He couldn’t give me a proper answer, saying that these texts were from a different time.

And tell me, Abd, why do you pray toward a black cube? And run around it seven times?

I don’t want to start an argument, but in my view, Islam cannot be perfect. No religion is, for there are the legions of Re.
