Answer 2

It is all about following certain peoples and then endup worshiping them.
Unlike ISLAM all other religions are behind so called false/human gods. The reason is clear, due to the human nature they follow their own desires to suit their comfort.

What is exactly the meaning of these word "Islam" and "Moslim"?

THE MEANING OF ISLAM:

It is false to call Islam Muhammadanism, as has been done so frequently in the West. We have already pointed out that Muslims believe that Islam is the eternal message which Allah sent to all prophets, from the dawn of mankind, and not a new belief which began with the Prophet Muhammad. Muslims call their religion Islam, and the Arabic word Islam implies the attainment of peace through submission to Allah. The word Muslim is an adjective derived from the noun Islam, and implies one who has peace within himself from his submission to Allah. Muslims believe in the One,Unique, Eternal God, Who created the heavens and the earth and all that exists. In Arabic, God is called Allah. There is absolutely no difference between Allah and the God of Abraham, Moses and Jesus, peace be upon them all. Muslims do not believe that Prophet Muhammad was the only Prophet; rather they believe that he was the last of the Prophets and Qur'an is the Last Testaments. The Holy Qur'an is the revealed and sacred scripture of Islam, and it teaches:
"Say (O Muslims), We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the Prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them and unto Him have we surrendered". Chapter 2:136.

Muslim is a person who submits to God
" And what reason have I that I should not serve Him Who brought me into existence? And to Him you shall be brought back; " Quran 36: 22.

For this reason I believe that from the first person Adam to all other prophets of God are Muslims.

Answer 5

I am one of Jehovah's witnesses and am one, as I have studied the bible for many years and have found it to be the only religion that follows the bible 100%. Nobody is perfect, but we try to be footstep followers of Jesus Christ (1 peter 2:21) and we worship Jehovah God as the only true God (psalms 83:18).
My faith is based on logic and fact and not on emotion and gives me a massive purpose in life, now and in the future.
