your body is in a state of ISLAM, It SUBMITS ENTIRELY TO THE WILL OF GOD. it does what GOD TELLS IT without question. you do not have to even THINK about all of the functions that your body must do to live, it just does it. Someone (or something) which SUBMITS TO THE WILL OF GOD is called a MUSLIM.

As a child of God my MIND , BODY , SOUL , is in continuous submission to God . My Body is not in a state of Islam , figuratively speaking . My body remains at a state of Peace becuase of my Love and willingness to surrender to his purpose whatever he wills it for me.

in the Quran it says that even the stars and the trees prostrate (bow) to Allah alone in submission.
so if even huge and powerful STARS and TREES SUBMIT to Allah and fulfill the purpose that they were made, what is stopping YOU? a mere human who can die from a simple illness or from as little as 2 inches of water?
we have been given intelligence and a soul. we must use our GOD GIVEN intelligence to study Gods signs and find the truth and keep our SOUL on the straight path and pure. the only way to do this is to be in a state of ISLAM. you can't SAY you follow ISLAM you have to 'BE' ISLAM. that is, you have to BE in a state of SUBMISSION TO GODS WILL. It HAS to be your CONCIOUS WAY OF LIFE.
This statement is truly commendable the first half in reguards to the use of what God has permitted us to have . It is imperative to study and Understand Gods purpose as well as to find the truth which will definetly maintain us on the right path to fear and understanding of our creator. We must offer our minds and body as a spiritual act of worship unconsiously.
in the Quran it says that the only religion/way of life that will be accepted by God is ISLAM.
and why, after reading this, would you NOT want to say you live in a state of ISLAM?
why would you not want to call yourself MUSLIM?
why would you not want to say you SUBMIT TO GOD?
is He not worthy to be SUBMITTED TO?
and think, why were we put on this earth if not to look after it and earn our place in paradise? what better way is there to do that than by following Gods laws and worshipping Him only?
Paradise my brother cannot be earned . Becuase of God's Grace and Mercy we have the opportunity to be with him in paradise IF we submitt to his teachings and remain steadfast in prayer . The way to paradise is clear (1John 5:1-21).
is the devil not the enemy of man? is the devils ONLY purpose to keep you away from worshipping and SUBMITTING to God or not?
Indeed The Devil is the Master of DECEPTION AND CONFUSION .
we are born MUSLIM, its ourselves that takes us away from being ina state of ISLAM.
We are born Children of God ,NOT Muslim . What and How we choose to live our lifes pleasing unto him determines our outcome or state.
you can call yourself christian, hindu,jew or bhuddist but first you must ACCEPT you were CREATED BY GOD IN A STATE OF ISLAM.
I Accept that i have been created by God . Not in the State of Islam . With a choice to follow him and surrend to him only. We don't submitt to the faith that is only one's title of being . God judges the actions , heart , soul of the Man or Women. Not his class of Religion. However there is only one Truth make no mistake.
so really, would you not like to call yourself a MUSLIM?
My Brother iam content, and Humbly Proud to call myself a Christian one committed to following God and his teachings laid before me by his son Jesus Christ and written in his word for all man to follow. As his word ( Bible ) Clearly States the word of GOD is useful for Teaching, Rebuking and Training in Righteousness so that as Christians we may be thoroughly equipped for all good work within our Ministry Discharged to us to those that choose and areCOMMITTED in Following . You are in my prayers and i encourage you to have a blessed day .
