Question: How sure are you of your belief, that Islam is the
true religion, the ultimate truth, and how would you explain
and try and convince someone that what you believe in is
logical and reasonable?
Answer: This is a very important question, and the explanation
has to stand up to the scrutiny of the skeptics, atheists, pagans
and the materialists, etc. Al-Humdulilah, (all praise belongs to
Allah) that he has given the answers to every question in His
Final Message to the humankind.
i.e.
The Glorious Qur’an.
One has to read the Glorious Qu’ran personally to understand
the message. Remember that the Qur’an is explicit in stating:
“
There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth
distinct from error
…”
Qu’ran: 2:v256
.
Revelations originating from one source have to be consistent
and not change over whatever time span it took to reveal. That is
exactly what the Qu’ran states. Firstly, that a portion of the
message were given to various prophets over thousands of
years; and specifically names four revelations by name, as well
as the names of the prophets that it was revealed to. The Qur’an
embodies the full and complete message, as no other prophet
and revelation is to follow. That is what Jesus (pbuh) meant
when he said that he would pray to the father for another
comforter who will abide for all time. The four most important
revelations are:
1.
The Taurah, (OldTestament) Law: revealed to
Prophet Musa, (Moses) (pbuh).
2.
Zaboor, or the Psalms: revealed to Prophet Dawood,
(David) (pbuh).
3.
The Injeel, (Good News) (New Testament) revealed to
Prophet Esa (Jesus) (pbuh).
4.
The Qur’an, also known as the Fur’qaan, (Criterion)
revealed to Prophet Muhammed, (pbuh). The Qu’ran
embodies all of the above. Viz: The Law, The Praises
