  religion which was given to Adam, the first man
  and the first prophet of Allah, and it was the
  religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to
  mankind
• Ø      The name of God's religion lslam was not
  decided upon by later generations of man. It was
  chosen

  the following
• This day have I perfected your religion for you,
