The Arabic language uses the words Muslims and
Islam for those people whom believe and do the will of the One Holy
God. As the Prophet Muhammad taught, it does not matter how you
worship God as long as you are following his will. The prophet Muhammad
Peace Be Upon Him was an excellent example. He taught us that all
religions were right if they follow the will of the One Holy God.
This is shown in the worship practices that he followed. He bowed,
kneeled and prayed with every aspect of the religions of the peoples
before him had worshiped with. This tells me they were all correct.
He once said that those that come after him would see his message
clearer than those living in his own time. I do not come to change
his religion because his religion was simple, believe and do the
will of the One Holy God. Muhammad even changed the direction of
the prayer for his followers to show it did not matter which direction
you prayed and worshiped God because he would know. He allowed the
Christians and Jews to live side by side with him, because there
was many that faithfully worship One God.
I would like to insert here some Islamic terms that I may be using
back and forth. These terms are from the Arabic language. Muslims
are taught to keep prayers and the worship to God in the language
the message was delivered. This has eliminated any question about
the translations, as is sometimes the case of messages that God
sent to mankind.
