The Pearls of Wisdom......... (Please Read the Complete Post) Mankind and the universe were not created by accident or chance, but according to the plan of the Creator, who is known as Allah (The One and Only God) of All Mankind.. The Quran (The last and final Word of Allah (God))states that it is the duty of all individuals to learn about Allah and to live according to His will. As we cannot accomplish this be ourselves, Allah has sent messengers and prophets to guide humanity in various ages ,in All of these chosen individuals have brought the same message (Oneness and Uniqueness of Allah (The One and Only God ,of All Mankind) and have served as examples to their people of how Allah desires all human beings to live in Islam (an individuals True Submission to the Will of Allah). All of the messengers and prophets of Allah (From Adam till Prophet Mohammad). More than 1 Lakh Prophets came before Prophet Mohammad. The Quran states that each people has received revelation from Allah(God) in its own tongue so that all individuals know what is required of them. The Prophets such as Prophet Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Issac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, John, Jesus etc , and Last and Final Prophet Mohammad (Peace be upon all of them). There are, however, many others who are not named. Muhammad, the last prophet, was sent with a universal message(Islam) meant for all of humanity The message revealed through him is the Quran, which is Allahs final presentation of the original revelation received by mankind in its purest form. An Individual must accept all of Allahs prophets and messengers as legitimate, for denial of one means denial of all, because their message were one ,that is to submission and sincerity. Down the age Messenger shown the true purpose of life, about Allah (Creator) and how everything is created by Creator, what will happen to us after death, and what Allah expects of us etc. Who is Allah......? He is Allah – there is no deity (to worship) but Him. He is the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible. He is the All-Merciful, the Most Merciful. He is Allah – there is no deity (to worship) but Him. He is the King, the Most Pure, the Perfect Peace, the Trustworthy, the Safe guarder, the Almighty, the Compeller, the Supremely Great. Glory be to Allah above all they associate with Him. He is Allah – the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and Earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Quran, chapter -Hashr, 22-24) But most importantly, Allah is unique God (of All Mankind) -He has no partners, no sons or daughters, and no competitors, as so many other man-made religious systems have postulated. Muhammad, the last of Allahs prophets, was sent to present Allahs revelation in its final form and for the last time, for All Mankind. This was necessary because the message delivered by the previous prophets and messengers had been corrupted or distorted by their followers. They had been mixed with philosophical speculations, superstitions, myths, and neglect. Therefore, Islam is not a new way of life-it is a restatement of the original way of life of Allah in its purest form and is designed to provide humanity with the uncorrupted message of Allah. Islam that denotes submission and obedience to Allah (The One and Only God, of All Mankind) . It also means peace, for it brings peace of mind as well as peace on the individual and the social levels. And all the messengers and their companions were and are Muslims (Who submit their will to Allah ) ,including Prophet Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Issac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, John, Jesus, and Final Prophet Muhammad. All Muslims (Who Submit Will to Allah ,as One and Only God ,of All Mankind) believe in: The oneness of Allah (God). Allah has no partner, son, daughter, helper, or competitor. There is nothing that even remotely resembles Him, for He is unique. All of the messengers and prophets of Allah (From Adam till Prophet Mohammad). The Quran states that each people has received revelation from Allah in its own tongue so that all individuals know what is required of them. The Quran mentions twenty-five of them by name, among them Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Issac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, John, Jesus, and Muhammad. There are, however, many others who are not named. Muhammad, the last prophet, was sent with a universal message meant for all of humanity The message revealed through him is the Quran, which is Allahs final presentation of the original revelation received by mankind in its purest form. An Individual must accept all of Allahs prophets and messengers as legitimate, for denial of one means denial of all. For western readers who are not convinced that Muhammad is a prophet of Allah, proof of this claim can be found in the Bible (Deut. 18:15-18, 33:2-3; Isaiah 29:12; Songs of Solomon 5:16;John 14:1516, 16:12-14) as well as in the biographical accounts of Muhammads life, which was lived in full view of his contemporaries. The original messages revealed through Allahs various prophets and messengers. The purest of these is the Quran, for it was recorded during the lifetime of the Prophet and under his direct supervision. The revelations mentioned in the Quran as having been received by other prophets, such as the Suhuf of Abraham, the Torah of Moses, the Zubur (Psalms) of David, and the Injeel (Bible) of Jesus, have all been either lost or corrupted. The existence of angels as part of the unseen world. They are spiritual beings who have no need for food, drink, or sleep. The Day of Judgment. The Quran teaches that life is a test for each individual, for everyone must choose whether he will or will not follow the commands of Allah. On this day, a person will be resurrected and asked to account for what he did while he was alive. Those with good records will be rewarded and enter paradise, while those with bad records will be punished by being sent to hell. This belief develops within the individual an awareness of Allahs presence and a desire to obey His laws sincerely and voluntarily A Muslim (Who Submit Will to Allah ,as One and Only God ,of All Mankind) believes that nothing happens without the knowledge and permission of Allah. While we may not understand why certain things happens, it is part of the divine plan for our lives (But the individual has the option to chose among the options, truth is exposed ,what is good and what is evil). MUSLIMS (Who Submit Will to Allah ,as One and Only God ,of All Mankind): THE MODERATE NATION................ Islam does not divide life into spiritual and secular realms. As all of life is thus unified and interconnected, Islam avoids the dangers of the extreme ritualism, secularism, or materialism that is found in other civilizations. Activities are not classified as belonging to the state or the individual, religion or daily life, but as belonging to Allah alone, Who has provided guidelines for individuals. These are to be followed in every aspect of their lives: individual, social, governmental, political, economical, spiritual, and otherwise Reflecting this moderation, the Quran has entitled the Muslims the moderate nation. SOURCES OF ISLAMIC TEACHINGS.................. The Islamic way of life is based on the teachings and laws found in the Quran and the example (Sunnah) of the Prophet Muhammad. The Quran is the word of Allah and was revealed in potions to Muhammad, via the Angel Gabriel, over a twenty-three year period. Each portion was recorded in writing by his official scribes and memorized by thousands of his followers. After his death, the written collection was given to Abu Bark, the first caliph, who oversaw its collection into one volume. The third caliph, Uthman, prepared several copies and sent them to different Muslim territories. Ever since that time, the same version has been used by Muslims. The wording, order, and language have never been altered in the slightest manner. No other book claiming to be a divine revelation can make this claim, and no one has ever been able to refute the claim of the Quran to complete authenticity. The Sunnah consists of the teachings, sayings, and actions of Prophet Muhammad. This information was meticulously reported and collected by his Companions. It is essentially an elaboration of the Quranic verses that shows how they are to be implemented in ones daily life. ISLAM: THE WAY OF LIFE OF EQUALITY................ Islam recognizes no man-made artificial distinctions based on colour, tribe, race, nationality, or otherwise. As all people come from the original couple-Adam and Eve-they are all one family and therefore equal before God. What distinguishes people from each other is their commitment to Islam: The most honoured in the sight of Allah is (he who is) most righteous. (Quran 3:86). ISLAM IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT...................... Islam states clearly that everyone is born a Muslim and is therefore monotheistic by nature. We read in the Quran that humanity has been created with the natural disposition towards the Oneness of Allah ( God). This is to be expected, for Allah(God), who has breathed His spirit into each of us, is Himself the example of perfect unity. In the words of the Prophet Muhammad: Every person is born with the innate religious faith (to submit to God Almighty). Thus when an individual accepts Islam, he is not turning his back on any prior revelation but rather is returning to the original and true revelation of Allah and to his own nature as a creation of Allah. This being the case, Islam is your birthright-other religious or ideological systems are either corruptions our outright denials of Islam. CRITERIA FOR TRUTH......................... How do you know if your belief system is true? Take a moment to look at the following list. . Are the teachings of your belief system rational? Do they conform to the norms of human reason and intellect? . Is the creator of your belief system perfect? Allah, the creator of Islam, is. . Does your belief system contain superstitions or myths? Islam presents humanity with only true knowledge. . Can your belief system withstand the discoveries and claims of modern science? Islam can and does. . How accurate are your belief systems prophecies and predications? Islams are always completely accurate. . Could a person have devised your belief system? No one has ever been able to imitate the Quran, although many have tried over the centuries. Islam is not a new religion founded by Muhammad, but a final restatement of the original revelation that has been conveyed to humanity by messengers and prophets sent by Allah (God) for that very purpose: This day I (God) have perfected your way of life for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion (Quran, chapter,5:3). As the Quran is the final revelation and Muhammad is the final prophet, humanity is obligated to accept it: If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost all spiritual good (3:86).
