Who is the Muslim

The linguistic and legislative meaning of the word "Islam" is our guide to define the meaning of the Muslim, because when we talk about the Muslim, we don't talk about disposition or attribute but we talk about acquired virtue, which is the Islamic virtue, that leads us consequently to talk about Islam

And hence,the Islamic character is completely found in Allah's Prophet Muhammad (PBH), so it is logical to take him as the suggested model of the Muslim character. So, if you know Muhammad (PBH), you will find out how the real Muslim must be
and how he behaves in various situations

Also,the word "Muslim" is:" the one who is devoted to Allah in his worship

So "Islam" means the complete devotion to Allah and His creed

So, according to the definition of the word (Islam), Islam doesn't refer to
One specific person, like the way how Buddhism refers to Buddha
Or a definite nation as how Judaism refers to a specific group of people
Or to specific regions or countries as Christianity does
Or to a special period

This word makes us live in a completely global atmosphere , not restricted to the mission.of Prophet Muhammad (PBH), since , from the previous definition all the Prophets are Muslims and this is a fact stated by the Quran more than once; Moses is a Muslim prophet for the Jewish and so on are all other prophets and Apostles
