This is Islam(1)

Islamic beliefs #1

Who is god?

Who created me and he[it is who] guides me;

It is he Who feeds me and gives me drink,

when I am ill, it is he who heals me;

Who will cause me to die and then will again restore me to life;

(Al Quran 78-81)

The creator and sustainer of this universe

The one who created us and our forefathers

Islamic beliefs #2

Is there a GOD?

Are you your own creators? Or, has this vast universe been created by you?

“Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]?

Or did they create the heavens and the earth?

NO, they have no certain belief”. (Al Quran 52:35-36)

Can anyone, who observes the universe and nature without a prejudiced mind, sincerely reject the existence of Creator?

“Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of the night and the day; in the sailing of the ships through the ocean for the profit of mankind; in the rain which God sends down from the skies, and the life which He gives therewith to an earth that is dead; in the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth; in the change of the winds, and the clouds subjugated between the sky and earth — [here] indeed are signs for a people who thinks.” {Al Qur’an 2:164}

Islamic beliefs #3

Can there be more than one GOD?

 “If there were therein gods beside Allah, then verily both (the heavens and the earth) had been disordered. Glory be to Allah, the Lord of the Throne, Who is far above their false descriptions of Him. (Al Quran 21:22)

The obviously simple argument is that no institution, no household, not to speak of the vast universe containing multitudes of countless distant stars, can function smoothly and properly, if it has two masters.

This is a clear proof that there is a universal and all powerful law and system which binds and forces these powers and things to cooperate and coordinate between themselves with a perfect proportion and harmony and this could not have happened if there had been different independent rulers. The existence of such a system is itself a clear proof that there must be One All Powerful Manager and Administrator governing and ruling the entire universe.

Islamic beliefs #4

 "Tell us of the ancestry of your Lord"

Thereupon Allah sent down this chapter (surah).

Say (O Muhammad!): “He is Allah, the One;

Allah, who is in need of none and of whom all are in need;

He neither begot any nor was He begotten,

And none is comparable to Him.”

(Al Quran 112)

He does not have any parents, children or spouse

Islamic beliefs #5

Blessings of Allah

It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth and sent down rain from the sky and produced thereby some fruits as provision for you and subjected for you the ships to sail through the sea by His command and subjected for you the rivers.

And He subjected for you the sun and the moon, continuous [in orbit], and subjected for you the night and the day.

And He gave you from all you asked of Him. And if you should count the favor [i.e. blessings] of Allah, you could not enumerate them. Indeed, mankind is [generally] most unjust and ungrateful. (14:32-34)

We are living on the countless blessings Allah has bestowed upon us

Islamic beliefs #6

Purpose of existence?

Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?"

(Al Quran 23:115)

The sun, trees and even a pen is created for a purpose; Everything in this world is created for a purpose

Then, has man been created without a purpose??

Who can decide the purpose of my life??

Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide(Al Quran 92:12)

The creator of pen will decide the purpose of pen, the Creator of tool will decide the purpose of tool,

The creator of man will decide the purpose of man!

Islamic beliefs #7

What is the purpose of our existence?

“[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed” (Al Quran 67:2)

Do you think that our lives are to be spent only for earning, eating, drinking and fun?

 No !!

There is a purpose of our life and death,

Live your life in obedience to your creator.

Islamic beliefs #8

Every soul shall taste death

“Every soul shall taste death. And only on the Day of Resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing).” (Al Quran 3:185)

No one can escape form death!

 Open your eyes before they close!!

Islamic beliefs #9

What after death ?

Say, “Allah causes you to live, then causes you to die; then He will assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt, but most of the people do not know."(Al Quran 45:26)

It is lack of knowledge and right understanding which is the real cause of the people’s denying the Hereafter; otherwise it is not its coming but its not coming which is against reason .

Death is not the end; it is the beginning of a new life

Islamic beliefs # 10

Is resurrection possible?

…He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?" Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He has knowledge of all creation.(Al Quran 36:78-79)

Do you think it is difficult for Allah to recreate us?

It is he who gave us life and created us for the first time

Giving life and creating us again is easy for him.

Islamic beliefs #11

Who are the Prophets of GOD?

“And to every people there is a guide.”(Al Quran 13:7)

And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allah and avoid Taghut (false objects of worship)."(Al Quran 16:36)

Prophets were assigned by god to provide knowledge to human beings about matters that they cannot understand through observation and experiment.

The prophets taught us

Who is true god?

What is the purpose of life?

What is good and what is evil?

Islamic beliefs #12

Why did GOD send humans as prophets?

And what prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them except that they said, "Has Allah sent a human messenger?"

Say, "If there were upon the earth angels walking securely, We would have sent down to them from the heaven an angel [as a] messenger."(Al Quran 17:94-95)

To teach someone how to use a washing machine, we use a washing machine to demonstrate

 To teach someone how to drive a car, we use a car to demonstrate

To teach HUMAN BEINGS the best way to live their lives,

 GOD used a HUMAN BEING to demonstrate!

These Demonstrators chosen by Allah, were prophets.

Islamic beliefs #13

Message of prophets

And We sent not before you any messenger except that We revealed to him that, "There is no deity except Me, so worship Me."(Al quran 21:25)

The message of all the prophets was the same…

Recognize the creator, worship and obey him alone in order to attain success in this life and the hereafter.

Islamic beliefs #14

A guide for all humanity: MUHAMMAD (Peace be upon him)

MUHAMMAD is the messenger of Allah and the Seal [i.e. last] of the Prophets (Al Quran 33:40)

A UNIVERSAL MESSENGER

We have not sent thee but as a universal (Messenger) to men, giving them glad tidings, and warning them (against sin), but most men understand not.

(Al-Quran 34:28)

“And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds “

(Al-Quran 21:107)

Islamic beliefs # 15

The final and the complete guidance: THE QURAN

The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion (between right and wrong). (Al-Quran 2:185)

QURAN submits a complete and practical way of life.

Quran is the last and final divine revelation for mankind to follow.

Islamic beliefs # 16

Who is the author of quran ?
And they say, "Legends of the former peoples which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon."

Say, [O Muhammad], "It has been revealed by He who knows [every] secret within the heavens and the earth. Indeed, He is ever Forgiving and Merciful." (Al-Quran 25:5-6)

ALLAH , the creator of universe, is the author of the Quran

Islamic beliefs #17

Challenge of THE QURAN

Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within it much contradiction. (Al-Quran 4:82)

The QURAN was revealed in stages over a period of 23 years.

The QURAN openly challenges anyone to find within it a single contradiction.
