For the ignorant ones...The books of the bible were NOT written in English. The English translations are translated from the latin Vulgate Bible, which is itself a translation.
They were written in Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic. The Aramaic was the language used in Jesus' time. It is closer to Arabic than English in pronunciation. So GOD means nothing really or it could mean many things like A god and allows association like god-son (or son-god), god-dess, god-father, god-mother and the like.
ALLAH means THE ONE TRUE GOD. When Arabs use the word ALLAH it is understood that HE has no partner.
Of course, because we speak English, some ignorant ones think that English is IT, superior to all other languages...but they are completely wrong.

The linguistic meaning of a muslim is one who submits to the will of GOD. All of the prophets from Adam to Muhammad, did that...so in that light, they were all muslims submitting to God's will.
Islam is the religion, that was perfected by GOD for Muhammad and his followers...and for all of mankind.
Islam comprises 5 pillars -
1. shahaadah (witnessing that there is no true GOD except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).
2. Prayer
3. Charity (compulsory) on savings (earnings after expenses)
4. Fasting in the month of Ramadhan
5. Pilgrimage to Mecca. (Hajj)
When the term "muslim" is used, it refers to a person who performs the 5 pillars AND who is a believer. A believer comprises:
1. belief in GOD and HIS ONENESS (according to Islamic monotheism which is the same as the true belief of all of the prophets)
2. belief in the Angels
3. belief in the books sent down by GOD
4. belief in Prophets
5. belief in the Day of Judgment (and life after death)
6. belief in the Divine Pre-decree (kinda like predestination BUT not exactly - this is what MGMan rants about due to improper knowledge / understanding...not his fault)
When the terms "muslim" and "believer" are used separately, their meanings converge and include each other.
However when they are used TOGETHER, then their meaning diverge, muslim then refers to the outward actions of the tongue and limbs, believer refers to the inward belief (action) of the heart.
GOD sees the hearts, a believer is higher in rank than a muslim (with diverging meanings as listed above).
By your definition most Muslims are not doing this Islam thing right. Islam is only for those that can afford the trip to mecca then? Don't you think that this is a silly pillar?

my grandmother was a very religious person. she travelled the world and even did the trip to mecca and did the walk at around 80yrs old. poor thing probably died never knowing even that walk is symbolic. she went hoping for healing of her diabetes related issues. but of course.. it never came. she did die peacefully in her sleep at a ripe old age tho.

My christian brethren are the most unaware, they take their English bible as their "bible" (lol) - meaning standard by which all other things are measured (or yard-stick). But it is only a poorly translated version of the original languages in which it was revealed/written. I say "poor" because once translated, the purity is lost...al translations are inherently poor!

Yes we have English translations that we use but we don't say that it is the Quran, rather a translation of the meaning of THE QURAN (which is the arabic quran). There were mistakes, not major ones, in the first english translations but the best one right now is THE NOBLE QURAN by Khan and Hilalee.
It is almost impossible to render the meaning from one language to another. Specifically, conjugation in arabic is specific for:
1. single person, dual person and plural
2. 1st person, 2nd person, 3rd person
3. male and female.
There are past and present/future tenses.
We have the original arabic quran, memorized letter for letter from beginning to end, by millions of muslims and the same as it was 1400+ yrs ago. The language still exists and is in usage to this day. GOD promised in the Quran that HE will preserve it.
The meaning of the Quran has been passed down from scholar to scholar from the prophet and his companions to those of the present day. Everything in Islam has it proof / evidences. There is a science / methodology behind the explanation of the verses and also hadith (sayings of the prophet).

AdamB wrote:I read the Quran in Arabic as well as English. There are "tafsirs" or explanation of the verses by scholars that are available.
