2. 2
Dear human…. I am talking to you as a human; it does not matter whether you are
Christian, Jew, Buddhist or Hindu. It does not matter whether you are a worshipper
of idols, atheist, religious, secularist, a man or woman.
I talk and address you as a human. Have you ever stopped and asked yourself one
day the reason why you believe in what you believe in? Have you ever thought about
the reason for which you chose the religion you practice?
If you are a Christian
If you are a Christian, have you ever thought why you believe that Jesus Christ is
the only way for eternal salvation? Does salvation require the crucifixion of the Godly
Prophet? Does God need to sacrifice himself to redeem others? Do you really believe
that your God is not one and that they are three, i.e. a Father, Son and Holy Spirit?
How come one entity is three entities at the same time? According to what church or
point of view? What is the proof to that? Is the Bible really the word of God? Is all of
it the word of God? Did it remain the same over time without any change like addition
or omission? Which Apostle of Jesus should his book and life be followed and why?
Did you really ask yourself these questions or some of them…? What is the fate of the
one who opposes and why? What is the position of the Christian who follows another
Church for you?
Have you ever asked what are the only principals through which you can decide which
beliefs are right and worthy of following? What are the measures? How to agree
regarding them?
3. 3
You who believe in Judaism
You who believe in Judaism… Have you ever stopped and thought…what are the right
foundations of faith and why do you have them in your belief while others do not have
them? Why should the center of your faith be to believe that God, Jehovah or Elohim
is only for you? Why do you believe in him thinking that he made a sin and that he still
cries because of feeling guilty until now…. Can the one who cries, regrets and wails
be a God? What is the proof of your faith? Is the Torah agreed upon by all the sects
of the Jews? Do you even all agree upon the definition of the Jew? Is the promise of
God only given to the Jews? Why is that? What is the fate of the other Jewish sects
that do not agree with you? Also, what is the fate of other religions for you?
4. 4
You who believe in Hinduism
You who believe in Hinduism… Are you sure that the right and acceptable shape of
the cycle of life is reincarnation? Is this acceptable for all the people? What is the fate
of those who do not believe in it? Is the emotional feeling the right way to measure
faith? Is your holy book void of any addition or omission?
You who believe in Buddhism
You who believe in Buddhism…. Do you really have the proof that Buddha is the
Son of God and the Savior of Humanity from all their miseries and pains and that He
carries all their sins and He will be back to relieve the world of all the evils and sins?
5. 5
You who claim that you do not believe in God
You who claim that you do not believe in God… Who created you? Who made you
from nothing? Why are you created? So, you are born and then you die and become
forgotten? Do you like to live in such state? Every human has to believe in some
power to return to regarding the method of his life and to look up to in case of fear
and upon death.
My brother in humanity
My brother in humanity… You are so sure of your faith…. You know that it is the true
religion and anything else is false… All the other religions are wrong… So, you are
ready to bet with your immortal spirit on this assumption…..yet, did you stop to think
carefully about the fact that there are more than twenty four official religions….and
hundreds of beliefs practiced on this planet… Do you know that Christianity include
more than 450000 sects? All of them claim to understand the ultimate truth better
than the rest. Do you realize that every member in a practiced belief is a pious and
6. 6
honest person just like you? Do you know that his faith is as firm as your faith? Do you
know that they also read the sacred texts with certainty too? Do you know that they
have confirmed justifications…? They have known miracles based on their measures
and opinions… They feel the existence of God and His faint voice. They follow his
perfect advice with obedience for their life. They love him in an indescribable way.
They can also defend their belief in the same enthusiasm with which you defend your
belief. You contradict with them about both the big and small issues…|
They cannot all be right? Is not that correct?
What are the measures which the rational people agree upon and which they can use
to measure the nature of the true religion? Some of these measures are:
Belief in God:
Belief in God:
The human has to believe in a deity. He can call Him God or he can call Him anything
else. He can be a tree, planet, woman, image or a singer he is passionate about. So,
the human has to believe in something that he would follow and cherish, he would
refer to him in his method of life. He might even die for him and this is what we call
worship.
As for the true God, He is a Creator. He knows the hidden and concealed
matters. He is All-Knowing of the Unseen. He has the Power and Will and He makes all
things happen according to what He wills. He is Wise; He does not do anything except
for certain wisdom. He is Just and because of His justice, He rewards and punishes.
He has a link with humans; He will not be their Lord if He creates them and then
abandons them. This is why He sends Messengers to them to clarify the right path for
7. 7
them and to notify humans of His method. The one who follows this method will be
worthy of getting the reward and the one who leaves it will be worthy of punishment.
There has to be a place for the reward which is Paradise and a place for punishment
which is the Hellfire. If He is not capable of admitting them in either of these places,
then He is not a God!
The Religion:
We need an accurate definition of religion because if it is a method for life and the
path to the afterlife. It has to have attributes to consider it as the true religion.
1- It has to be close to the basic nature of humans which represents all the good
qualities and traits in humans.
2- Consistency: It has to be a consistent religion for all generations, countries and all
kinds of humans. It has to be a religion that does not increase or decrease according
to desires.
3- The beliefs of this religion have to be clear and evident. There should be no visible
and invisible matters and this religion should not need a mediator. The religion should
not be taken based on mere spiritualities; it has to have an evident and reliable
proof.
4- The religion has to tackle all issues of life at every time. It has to be suitable for
life and also the afterlife. It has to build the body and it should not forget the spirit
as well.
5- This religion has to protect the life of the people and their honors, there has to be
no unlawful mixing of lineages and it has to protect their wealth.
Islam is in conformity with the creation and nature of humans,
there is no contradiction between Islam and the nature of humans
and this is why it is the religion of the natural disposition.
Almighty God has created the human and defined the method for him to follow; this
method is commensurate with the nature and needs of the human. This method is
the religion.
Whoever does not follow this religion will be in a state of chaos, instability and spiritual
and psychological discomfort, in addition to the torture in the afterlife.

The Islamic religion has clear beliefs; it is not satisfied with establishing the commands
and teachings by abstract obligation and strict dictation. Islam does not say like other
beliefs: (Believe blindly) or (Believe then know) or (Close your eyes then follow me).
Islam does not only address the heart and spirit and depend on them as a foundation
for belief, it also explains the matters with evident and convincing reasoning, clear
proof and true justification that persuade the mind and reach the hearts.
The Qur’an is the Book of God and His words; it did not change despite the passing
of hundreds of years and despite the dissimilarities among countries and civilizations.
It is still the same as it was revealed. It is still leading the Muslims in their worldly life
and their path to the afterlife.
The Qur’an establishes proofs about the matter of Divinity from the universe, the
spirit, the history of the existence of God, His Oneness and Completeness. It also
establishes proofs in terms of resurrection; it proves the potential of creating humans,
creating the heavens and the earth and reviving the land after her death. It shows
God’s wisdom through justice in rewarding the good doer and punishing the bad
doer.
The Islamic religion is complete for all matters of life, it is flexible because it is close
to the human nature which God has created humans according to her rulings.
There is no Muslim that does not know the signs of the truth. The universe leads him
to the Oneness of God Almighty. What the Messenger, Peace Be upon Him, brought
proves his truthfulness and prophethood. The Muslim knows quite well that whoever
said that God is the third of three is misleading and astray. Also, who said that God
felt tired and rested on Saturday after the creation of the heavens and the earth is a
misled disbeliever. The Muslim also sees clearly the disbelief of the idol worshippers
and their delusion. The deluded atheists are even worse.
The human does not know the truth about his spirit and being. He does not know
the future that he will face and this is why the human being was not able to put
permanent legislations and laws to fit every time and place. But, the Almighty Creator
is the All-Knowing.
9. 9
It is enough for us that our Islamic Sharia has ruled different cultures, in different
countries and at different times for hundreds of years. There has been no problem
without a solution in this honorable Sharia.
Now, at our modern time, the time of quick developments and outstanding innovations,
this meaning is confirmed clearly. Our Sharia proclaimed herself even more in our
time, despite the weakness of her people because Islam conforms to the requirements
and needs. Islam can develop without any decay over the centuries. Islam keeps its
complete strength of life and flexibility. Islam is the religion that gave the world the
most established and affirmed legislations. The Sharia of Islam surpasses any other
legislation on the face of the earth.
Make these words a starting point
Keep looking
You will arrive through your nature, heart and mind to God, the
Perceiver, the Initiator, the One and the Creator of everything!
Because you are looking for the religion that would lead and
introduce you to Him!
