Muhammad 570-632

One thing that I found very interesting was that Islam meant, "surrender to god". When you do this your life really does change and you have a whole different perspective in how you look at life, others and the world in which you live. I really liked how it said that, "all that is in the heavens and in the earth magnifies god". In other words everything that is good comes from god, in some way or another. The beauty of the trees comes from god, the sparkling lakes and rushing rivers, all aspects of good are from god. Animals come from god, people come from god, all positive things come from god. I also like how it said, " Do not despise the world, for the world too is god". Wherever you turn is God's face". Pretty much god is everywhere. He knows the desires and thoughts that you have, whether they be good or whether they be bad. He knows who we are as people and can help us when we struggle. He may put people in our path to uplift us or may help us in other ways, but he knows who we are as individuals. I really like the last two sentences of the speech. It closes it off and really makes you come to think. He says, " Whoever knows himself knows god". "True religion is surrender". As we come to an understanding off our self and out potential we realize who god really is and the important role he can play in our lives. Lastly as we surrender our lives to god and do good with our lives and actions, this is when we truly come to know about god and his religion. This was a great speech.
