World Peace

Islam is Light
Asalamu aleacom warahmato Allah wabarakato brothers and sisters

You can get closer to Allah (God) by many ways including:

- Reading the Holy Quran
- Being a devoted servant and worshiper
- Pleasing Allah (God). Submitting to his will, and following his commandments
- Having a sincere heart, and only doing deeds to PLEASE ALLAH, NOT PEOPLE. Otherwise this will eat away faith, and cause the heart to be in a state of distress; rather than peace and tranquillity.
" If all the people are pleased with you but Allah is not, what have you gained?"
"If Allah is pleased with you but no one else is, what have you lost?"
