Muslims
Every court of Islam is bound to recognize every adult male or female who consciously and solemnly witnesses that there is no God but Allah (SWT) and Muhammad (PBUH) is the Prophet of God, is to be recognized as a Muslim in good standing by every court in Islam. Such persons are also entitled to all privileges and rights of a Muslim and bound by all the duties and obligations of Islamic law.
When translated into Modern English, the word Muslim simply means "servant". From the meanings of this term we are able to understand that the Muslim perceives himself or herself as a person living in submission to a set of divinely revealed laws upon which social and moral codes that govern everyday life are established.
