وَبِٱلۡحَقِّ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ وَبِٱلۡحَقِّ نَزَلَۗ وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرٗا وَنَذِيرٗا
[44]. Allāh sent Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to straighten what had become crooked in belief, and to guide mankind to the right path — that they may bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allāh. Through him, Allāh opened blind eyes, deaf ears, and sealed hearts — bringing insight where there was ignorance, and faith where there was denial.
He sent him to mend the broken-hearted, to proclaim freedom to those enslaved by falsehood, to lead people out of darkness into light, and to comfort those who mourn.
By the Qur’an and the Sunnah, Allāh heals hearts, revives souls, and restores humanity to truth, mercy, and peace.
Humanity had deviated into idolatry, superstition, and arrogance; Islam came to “set right” what was distorted in faith and morality. The Prophet’s message illuminated minds and awakened hearts that were previously closed to truth.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ freed people from oppression, ignorance, and the tyranny of desires, guiding them to the inner freedom of servitude to Allāh alone.
He comforted the sorrowful, supported the oppressed, and uplifted every broken heart through kindness and faith.
This portrays the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as: A reformer of faith — restoring pure monotheism. A spiritual physician — healing blindness of the heart.
A liberator — freeing people from bondage to sin and false gods.
A comforter — bringing mercy, hope, and inner peace.
A messenger of truth — revealing divine guidance in both Qur’an and Sunnah.
Through him, Allāh’s mercy touched every aspect of human life — belief, morality, emotion, and society — transforming the world from darkness into divine light.
وَقُرۡءَانٗا فَرَقۡنَٰهُ لِتَقۡرَأَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ مُكۡثٖ وَنَزَّلۡنَٰهُ تَنزِيلٗا
قُلۡ ءَامِنُواْ بِهِۦٓ أَوۡ لَا تُؤۡمِنُوٓاْۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ مِن قَبۡلِهِۦٓ إِذَا يُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ يَخِرُّونَۤ لِلۡأَذۡقَانِۤ سُجَّدٗاۤ
[45]. The righteous among the People of the Scripture—Jews and Christians—are those who recognize the truth contained in the Qur’an.
Abraham fell upon his face before God (see Genesis 17:3, 17). Moses, too, often fell on his face in prayer. These are the very gestures of devotion that Muslims still perform today—bowing and prostrating before the Creator in humility.
Likewise, in Matthew 26:39, it is written that Jesus “fell on his face and prayed.” This is the same posture of worship that God has ordained for Muslims. Again, Matthew 26:44 describes Jesus praying face down on the ground in submission and reverence to Allāh. If human beings lower themselves before earthly kings, how much more fitting it is to bow and prostrate before the Lord who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, who knows all that people conceal or reveal. There is no deity worthy of worship except Allāh, the Lord of the Great Throne.
All the prophets were, in essence, Muslims—those who submitted their wills to God (Elah, Alaha, Allāh). Consider Abraham: what faith could he have followed before Judaism and Christianity came into being? His way was pure submission to his Lord.
The names Judaism and Christianity arose later as human designations. But the religion of submission itself—Islam—was named by the Lord of all worlds. True peace comes through surrendering one’s will to the Creator, and that is the meaning of Islam.
In Hebrew, the root Sh-L-M forms shālom (peace) and mushlam (whole or complete). In Arabic, the root S-L-M forms salām (peace) and muslim—one who attains peace by submitting to God. Thus, the message of all prophets is one and the same: submission to the One God, leading to peace, safety, and wholeness.
All prophets bowed and prostrated in humility before Allāh, showing the same essence of worship that Islam preserves.
The core message has always been monotheism —the oneness of God and surrender to His will.
The Hebrew and Arabic roots for peace and submission share the same spiritual meaning, expressing harmony between belief and obedience.
Islam is not a man-made label but a divinely appointed path of peace through submission to the Creator. And the Muslims are those who follow this path.
وَيَقُولُونَ سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِن كَانَ وَعۡدُ رَبِّنَا لَمَفۡعُولٗا
وَيَخِرُّونَ لِلۡأَذۡقَانِ يَبۡكُونَ وَيَزِيدُهُمۡ خُشُوعٗا۩
قُلِ ٱدۡعُواْ ٱللَّهَ أَوِ ٱدۡعُواْ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنَۖ أَيّٗا مَّا تَدۡعُواْ فَلَهُ ٱلۡأَسۡمَآءُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰۚ وَلَا تَجۡهَرۡ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتۡ بِهَا وَٱبۡتَغِ بَيۡنَ ذَٰلِكَ سَبِيلٗا
[46]. In Hebrew, Moses called upon God as Elah. Jesus and his mother Mary, speaking their native Aramaic tongue, called upon Him as Alaha.
Allāh, the Almighty, revealed His scriptures in three Semitic languages that we know of—and in all of them, the name of God is strikingly similar in sound and meaning.
The later terms Father and God are foreign to the original prophetic languages. Their origins are linguistic and cultural developments that came long after the time of revelation.
The word god can be applied to anything—an idol, a human, or even an abstract concept. But who can be called Allāh?
Nothing in existence—seen or unseen—can rightfully bear the Name Allāh, nor Alaha, nor Elah. These sacred names belong solely to the One and Only, the Eternal Creator. Many may be called “gods” or “goddesses,” but only One can be called Allāh.
Likewise, the name “Jehovah” is not the original name of the Almighty. It arose from a misunderstanding in later centuries when vowels were inserted into the Hebrew consonants YHWH (the Tetragrammaton). Ancient Hebrew was written without vowels, and the true pronunciation of YHWH was known only to the prophets and priests. “Jehovah” therefore is a later, inaccurate hybrid form, not the divine Name revealed to the prophets.
Across all authentic Semitic traditions, the revealed Name of the One True God has remained consistent in meaning and spirit—Elah, Alaha, Allāh—the Eternal, the Creator, the Lord of all worlds.
The Hebrew term אֵלָה (Elah) and the Aramaic ܐܠܗܐ (Alaha) share the same root as the Arabic الله (Allāh) — all derived from the ancient Semitic triliteral root ʾ-L-H, meaning “the Deity” or “the One to be worshipped.”
The name “Jehovah” did not exist in ancient times; it first appeared in medieval Europe when scholars combined the consonants YHWH with the vowels of Adonai (“Lord”).
This linguistic continuity across Hebrew, Aramaic, and Arabic reflects the oneness of divine revelation and the unity of all prophets who called to the worship of the same God — the One who has no partner, no rival, and no equal.
وَقُلِ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَمۡ يَتَّخِذۡ وَلَدٗا وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُۥ شَرِيكٞ فِي ٱلۡمُلۡكِ وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُۥ وَلِيّٞ مِّنَ ٱلذُّلِّۖ وَكَبِّرۡهُ تَكۡبِيرَۢا
