Islam is not a specific Religion (sectarianism), it is an Arabic word which means submission,
alignment with the universal nature, annihilation of everything (universe) back into their Source / Essential Reality (Allah / God) by transcending through the Religion (the universe
Programming Systems).
Islam is not just a melodious recitation of Universal Manual (Qur'an or divine Scripture), it is the matter of universal submission and annihilation in the Universal Reality by reading all
Universal Manifestations intrinsically through their Quantum-Energy inscriptions (reading
Qur'an from the heart, which is the Quantum-Energy dimensions).
Islam in its wholeness has three levels of perception, which all the three stages of Religion
(Shari'ah, Tariqah, Haqiqah) are respectively the same states of cognition with the three levels
of perception (Universal Programming), they are; (1) Islam (2) Iman (3) Ihsan.
Islam (Submission)
:
Islam is the perception of the universe from the outer / material surface or level of the
universe, to the initial peak or core of the universe (i.e. the Reality). However, in particular, the outer surface of the universal perception is also called "Islam" since it is a transcendental reality, it is the cognitive state of Shari'ah i.e. the arc from the universal lower state of consciousness.
Next are the five fundamental pillars of Islam (total submission and annihilation in the Universal
Reality).
