There is no God but God, and Isa is His Messiah.

Introduction

There is a difference between islam and the Islam. By "islam," I mean the joyful surrender of the heart, mind and will to the one true living God. It is the happy surrender of a child to his loving father. On the other hand, Islam is the major world religion. Before we go any further, allow me to say that this site is not about the world religion. Rather it is about islam in the ordinary meaning of the word, that is submission to God in a right relationship with him. For those who are interested in sites about Islam, the world religion, there are a great many other sites which deal with that topic.

Some will say, isn't the Islam, the world religion and submitting to God the same thing? Not necessarily. Actually, as we will see, practicing the world religion and enjoying a vital love relationship with the living God may well be two entirely different things, according the the holy Taurat, Zabur and Injils. Our own imperfect attempt at submission to God is one thing. But there an entirely different way, a gracious gift of blessed communion with God —an islam which comes from God alone. That's what this site is all about.

islam without Islam

It is clear that one can enjoy a blessed communion with the living God and submit to him without being an adherent of the religious tradition which started in Arabia some 2500 years after God called Abraham out of idolatry and into a right relationship with Himself. That is, one can have islam without the world religion Islam. All those great men of the holy Taurat and the Injil such as Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David and Jesus of Nazareth knew God and were rightly submitted to him. None knew of the religious tradition of Islam of course, as it didn't appear until many centuries later. They and many of their brothers enjoyed the blessing of a wonderful relationship with the one true and living God. They enjoyed a relationship of love and happy surrender to God which many practitioners of mere religion lack.
