What is Religion
Religion means a particular system of faith and
worship. When we believe in something
strongly and firmly, we say it is my religion. So by
definition, if we do not act in accordance
to our religious faith and belief, it means that we do
not really believe in that religion.
If we do things against the teachings of our religion then
it means that we do not have faith in our
religion. The Holy Quran has told us about such
people

What Makes You Muslim?
The Holy Quran does not recognise anyone as Muslim if he or she is notpractising its teachings.
Thus, a true Muslim is one who follows the teachings of Islam at all times.
If we are true Muslims then we should follow the laws of Islam in and outside our home, i.e. in classroom, in playground, in mosque , on streetsand where ever we are.

What is Deen?
In Islamic terminology, the word ‘Deen’ is used for religion. But Deen is much
more comprehensive in its magnitude than Religion. Thus, our Deen is Islamwhich is more than a Religion.
Unlike other religions which are confined to worship only, Islam offers:
a complete code of life.a code of behavior.a perfect system of social interactions.a full constitution of government.a balanced curriculam of comprehensive education.
a right approach to conscious seientific exploration.

What is TRUE Religion?
The true religion tells us many things which we can
never know from any other source.
For instance, Islam gives us correct answers of the
following difficult questions :
• Who has created the universe ?
• Who has created the millions of types of living species ?
• Who has made humans superior over all the creatures?
• Why has He created us ?

What is TRUE Religion? Cont.
No one can know how the universe and every
thing in it has come into existence. What
scientists tell us about the origin of the universe
and the living creatures is their guesswork.
This is the reason that there are many different
theories in science with entirely different
explanations. For instance, Big-bang theory,
Steady state theory, and theory of evolution give
different stories about the existence of the
universe.
