How vision of Muslim made super power _ eradicated poverty for humanity Shaikh Zahir Mahmood48:28 It is He Who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, that He may exalt it above every other religion. Allah suffices as Witness. The word "Islam" means submission to the will of God. This means replacing your will with God's will, replacing your laws with God's laws and accepting God's guidance as it has been revealed through the prophets. "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the [only] guidance; and we have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds," states surah 6, verse 71 of the Quran. Islam is primarily concerned with law, seeking a righteous course of action for every situation. Sharia, which is Arabic for "the path to water," is considered God's prescription for righteous action. This includes individual commands such as the Five Pillars of Islam -- reciting the profession of faith, performing the daily prayers, paying a poor tax called the zakat, fasting during the month of Ramadan and making a pilgrimage to Mecca -- but it also contains the path to righteousness for an entire society.
