10 Reasons Why Islam is the Religion
of Truth
1.
In 23 Years, Muslims Went from Being Powerless to Control the World.
When Islam started in
Mecca, it was the prophet Mohammed by himself. A one man religion. He was
exposed to punishments and oppression. The people who first entered Islam were
weak and also were oppressed and tortured by the pagans of Mecca (their
relatives). Forward 23 years later to see the transformation of these
uneducated powerless individuals to the most powerful ones and to control the
world.
The Arabs at the time of
the prophet peace be upon him (6th century) were tribes and clans fighting each
other. The Romans and the Persians were vast powerful empires. Forward 23 years
later to see how some powerless individuals were able climb the mountain of
world power to take over the Persian empire and the Roman empire and introduce
new world order.
Not only did this
transformation achieve miraculousness in its happenings but it’s also marvelous
in its timing and its duration.
Had it not been to
Islam, the world would be different (much worse). The heroes of Islam would not
have been heroes but would have been forgotten.
2.
The Quran and its Eloquence as a Linguistic Miracle.
As the Arabs of that
time were so linguistically gifted, a linguistic miracle was fit for the
situation.Quran was sent to people who were so eloquent in the Arabic
language. If the Quran was not a linguistic miracle, then any of the
Arabs and Arab poets in Mekkah (where the prophet peace be upon him stayed for
13 years calling people to worship Allah alone) would come up and say some
poetry to challenge the Quran (since the challenge to them was clear) but none
was able to challenge the eloquence of the Quran.
The miraculousness of
the Quran is an axiom to whomever studies Arabic academically.
3.
Inheritance and Economic System in Islam
Not only that, but the
Islamic heritage system was revealed in only 2 verses. The Islamic heritage
system is one that is comprehensive and astonishing in its detail. It has
covered all cases and all situations in the most fair way. Such system was not
known at all at the time of the prophet peace be upon him. No other religion
has such system. How can an illiterate man come up with such system? A system
that had no equal at that time.
The Islamic economic
system is also a system of wonders. It has the compatibility to encompass all
types of old and new business maneuvers. It also has the ability to provide
welfare for all people. It’s not a theory but a system which is implemented
throughout the world and has been applied through history with ultimate
success.
How can an illiterate
man from the 6th century come up with such system? How can a Sheppard in the
desert in the Arabic peninsula design such a system? A system that had no equal
at its time. A system which competes with the most recent business and
economics sciences and is proven to have more success.
The answer is: he
couldn’t. It was revealed to him.
4.
Islam is the Only Religion that Makes Sense in Terms of Spirituality and
Materialism
In our world, religion
becomes more of a shopping center where almost every person could come up with
a religion or a version of a religion. It makes it hard to distinguish the true
religion from the fake ones. Some have went all spiritual on the scale of
spirituality. Others have gone all the way to materialism. Only Islam can
gather both ends in a harmonic mixture. In Islam, Muslims are to build this
earth and make it prosper be it in agriculture, industry, sciences, etc. We are
ordered to protect life and property of all people who do not transgress and
oppress us. We are ordered that if the day of Judgement comes and one has a
plant in his hand to plant it. We are allowed to marry, have children and enjoy
life.
On the other hand, we
are also responsible for our actions and we will be accounted for them. We
should always work for the hereafter and wish to please God our creator.
Islam is also a whole
way of life. It deals with economics. It sets rules for dealings between humans
and animals to dealings between humans and humans to rights of neighbors and
parents to the relationship between human beings and the creator.
5.
Scientific Proof in the Quran and the Sunnah
Just to make it clear,
the Quran is not a science book but it does not contradict with science.
6.
Quran is the Only Book which Has Been Protected from Altercations
Whether you are a Muslim
or not, one thing all scholars have agreed upon: The Quran has been preserved
as it was revealed to the prophet in the 6th century. Copies of the Quran are
still available in Tashqand and Cairo. One of the properties of the Muslim
Nation is “ISNAD”. Isnad means means having narration chains where each person
in the narration chain is well known and has his life recorded and studies.
The holy Quran has been
narrated through narration chains where a large group of narrators who are of
very strong memory and minds have narrated the same text from one generation to
the next (with the condition of actually meeting each other and listening to
each other with no time gaps). This large group of narrators cannot all agree
on a lie. The names and the life stories of EACH person is recorded and
studied. Each narrator has his whole family recorded.
These narrations have
agreed with the copies from the Quran.
Compare that with the
current bible for example where there is no recorded narration chains (without
putting the condition of having no time gaps or even having names for those
narrators). Compare the Quran with current bible where you have thousands of
manuscripts; no two are the same. Compare that with the writers of the bible
where you only have one name: John who? Luke who? What is their last name?
The Quran has been
revealed in Arabic and it’s read in Arabic. For the first time, the people
speak the language of the prophet not the other way around. There are
translations of the Quran in different languages but the Quran is in Arabic and
should be read in Arabic noting that ‘translations of meaning’ is different
than a version.
The Sunnah or the
traditions of the prophet are protected through the same narration chains.
That being said; the
Quran and the Sunnah have two distinct styles which have never contradicted.
7.
God in Islam is the Creator
Most people who do not
believe in God have an altered image of God. I do not believe in God who has
human qualities. I do not believe in God who is born and can die. I do not
believe in God who has human weaknesses. I do not believe in God who hisses and
can manifest himself in his creations such as a cow. Hence, many Christians and
other religious followers have doubts in their Gods and then some of them throw
these doubts behind their backs and say we have faith while others just throw
these doubts and refuse the idea of God.
I do believe in God who
is the creator of the heavens and the earth. I believe in God who has created
everything that lives. So who is God in Islam?
God describes
himself in the Quran as: Allâh! Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He),
Al-Hayyul-Qayyum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that
exists). Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in
the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him
except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in
this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never
compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursî [1] extends
over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and
preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. [This Verse 2:255 is
called Ayat-ul-Kursî ]
8.
Islam is the Largest Spreading Religion in this World
Islam is the largest
spreading religion in the western world and not because Muslims have more
children than others. More than 20000 Americans convert to Islam each year.
4000 have converted to Islam in Germany this year alone. Thousands are
converting to Islam in Latin America. WHY? Where is my proof? here is my proof and here and here and here. Full topic can be found athttp://islamegy.wordpress.com/2007/06/27/new_muslims/
9. Have You Been to a Masjid?
If you have been to a
Masjid, you would know what the word equality means. You would see Americans
with Asians with Arabs with Hispanic all in one place; all are brothers who
will protect each other and truly love each other. You would see all nations
and colors in one place bowing down for the creator. Hundreds of years and
millions of dollars would never gather these people together and make them
brothers but Islam did. Don’t believe me; visit any Masjid near you and there
is probably one near you.
10.
Consistency of Islam in Changing Times
Whether you are a Muslim
or a person who attacks Islam such as Daniel Pipes, you
would agree that Islam has been constant in these changing times. Nothing else has been constant. Muslims still think
the old way; the way of the prophets and the way which God has revealed his
book.
