Abstract

This study is a translation of the ( introduction, chapter four & five) from the book "Living In The Shade Of Islam", by Ismail Buyukcelebi. This book discusses Islam which literally means peace, submission, and obedience, as it is the religion for the whole universe. The universe is orderly, a cosmos whose parts are linked together and work together for the same purpose and goal. The introduction defines Islam with respect to the universe and that everything in the existence obeys God by submitting to His laws, for each part of our bodies follows the course that God has established for it, from birth until death and dissolution. Also it discussed the Universal Message that God sent to all Prophets, and that Islam does not accept contradictions and invites to equality and the unity of human origin. While Chapter four discussed Islamic Morality, God's Messenger, peace be upon him and blessings, says: "I have been sent only to perfect good character (or morality)." For this reason, both the Qur'an and the Messenger attach great importance to morality. Also this chapter discusses the Prophet morality and His leniency and forbearance, His generosity and His modesty – while chapter five discussed the other aspects of Islam and that Islamic law is not confined to civil and criminal matters, but also deals with administrative, socioeconomic, national, and international affairs, and the relationship with the Creator, ourselves (our rights upon ourselves), other people, and our natural environment (the rights of the resources that God has given to us for our benefit) I have chosen to translate this book, because it seeks to present Islam's true face and make it known in a summarized form with most of its aspects and that Islam is the consummation of all religions by accepting the Prophets and Scriptures of all nations. " The Messenger (Muhammad) believes in what was sent down to him from his lord. Each believer believes in God and His angles, His Books, and His Messengers. We make no distinction between any of His Messengers. They say: "We hear and obey. Our Lord, grant us your forgiveness. Unto you is the homecoming." (2:285)
