According to the Oxford Dictionaries
The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.
Besides the religion of Islam, many other religions exist in the
world such as Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and others.
Most of them have existed for a very long time. In fact, as we learn
from history, the world has never been without religions. All the
well-established religions of the world have the following features in
common:
- They were founded by the Messengers of Allah (prophets) and their teachings were based on the revelations from Allah.
- They define a purpose of human life; to achieve nearness to Allah and to understand one’s duty towards one’s fellow-beings.
- To attain this purpose, they present a set of beliefs, acts of
worship and rules of conduct governing social and moral behaviour.
We may conclude, therefore, that:
Religion is a divine system of beliefs, acts of
worship, and rules of conduct to enable human beings to achieve
nearness to Allah and to lead a peaceful life.
