How Do I Study Islam?

To study Islam one must begin with the Qur'an and use it at every stage. Only then can a true understanding of our life and ultimate destiny be achieved.

Muslims have been sleeping for centuries and have not beed studying the message of the Qur'an. That is why the Muslim nations of the world, which were once the most advanced, have become the least advanced in only a few hundred years. (6:70)

Islam is the way of life Allah established from the beginning, It is the code of living taught by all Prophets and wise people throughout history. It went by different names and included different rituals according to the customs and age of the people in question, but their teachings always contained the same, core message: Submit to the universal way and do what is right.

If we want to change the condition of Muslims, as well as bring healing to the hearts of people who have not yet become Muslims, than we must reconnect with the message of the Qur'an. For only that book has survived unchanged as the guidebook for people as their live their short and difficult lives.

"We, (Allah,) have made this Qur'an easy to remember. Is there anyone who would receive a reminder?" (54:40)

The Qur'an is the source of guidance, and the life of the Prophet who bore it is our example of how to put it into practice.
