This research was carried out through theoretical studies based on literary sources such as the views of Islamic scholars and scholars. This research aims to explore and analyze the concepts of Islam as a religion, including the definition, objectives and characteristics of its universal teachings. The research method used is a qualitative method with a library research approach with research subjects being documents, books, scientific journals, interpretations of the Al-Qur'an, hadith, as well as works of thought by Muslim scholars and scholars, both classical and contemporary. . Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques, namely by identifying, interpreting and grouping main ideas related to the definition, goals and universal characteristics of Islam. This research proves that Islam is a comprehensive belief system, which includes human relationships with God, each other, and nature. The definition of Islam as submission to Allah encompasses spiritual, social, and moral dimensions, while its goal focuses on shaping individuals with noble character and building a just and prosperous society, as reflected in the maqashid al-shariah. Islam's inclusive, adaptive, and harmonious characteristics allow for the application of values such as justice, compassion, and tolerance in daily life. However, the implementation of this universality often faces challenges, such as rigid interpretations and a lack of deep understanding among Muslims.
