“AD-DEEN” - usually translated as “the religion” more accurately it should be “a total way of life or a comprehensive system of living”
a Muslim regard his/her entire life as a religious experience. Islam provides for guidance in, not only matters of worship, but as to how he/she is to conduct oneself in daily matters - be it social, economic etc.
“ISLAM” – “(peaceful) submission and obedience to God”
name and description of the religion revealed by God, since Adam a.s. and then on continuously established by many prophets and it culminated with Prophet Muhammad s.a.a.w. being the last in the line of prophethood.
“MUSLIM” - literally it means “one who submits and obey, willingly surrenders to the will of God”
it refers to followers of Islam, which now numbers over 1.5 billion people of diverse race and nationality. It is wrong and in bad taste to refer to them as “Muhammadan ” or “Mussalman ”
“ALLAH” - the name of God in Arabic. It refers to the One and only God of the Universe.
In Arabic it is in a proper noun, the name which has no equivalent in other non-Semitic language. “Allah is the Unique, the Absolute One having no partners, Creator and Lord (Sustainer) of the Universe.”
