Become Acquainted With Islam: It is necessary, before explaining the facts and the pillars of Islam, to elaborate and understand the meaning of the name, Islam. The word Islam has many meanings. It means submission, safety, and peace. In this study, when we mention the word Islam, it means the religion that Allah (S.W) revealed to His Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). Allah (S.W) gave „Islam‟ this name, because it concludes a total submission to Him (S.W) only, obedience to His rules, and following His commandments.

""Muslims prefer using the name “Allah”, which is one of many other beautiful names and it is God Almighty‟s greatest name, instead of the English word “God”. The word “Allah” is pure and unique unlike the English word “God”, which can be used in many forms. If we add „s‟ to the word “God” it becomes “Gods”, that is a plural of God. Allah is one and singular, there is no plural of Allah. If we add „dess‟ to the word „God‟, it becomes „Goddess‟, that is a female God. There is nothing like male Allah or female Allah. (taken from: “The Concept of God in Major Religions”, Dr. Zakir Abdul Kareem, pp 18)

Muslims do not mention the name of Allah without glorification. The letters “S.W” are contractions of the two Arabic words “Sobhanahu Wataala”, which means, “Glory to Him! He is high above all” (Holy Quran 17:43). The English meaning of these two words is from the “Meaning of the Holy Quran by Abdullah Yusof Ali”. Therefore, in this book I will use the words “Allah (S.W)” when referring to God Almighty, except for excerpts and quotations.

Muslims also do not mention the name of a Prophet without honoring him with prayer and invocation. The letters “PBUH” are contractions of the sentence, “Peace Be upon Him” when mentioning a prophet, or “Peace Be upon Her” when mentioning the Pure Virgin Mary, and the letters “PBUT” are contractions of the sentence, “Peace Be upon Them”, when mentioning more than one prophet.""
