Misconception
? How Do You Know that Islam Is The Truth
Response
Prepared by : Shobohat.com
Remember
that there is only one true religion out of the thousands religions of
the world and the rest are false. The true religion may or may not be
your religion. Do not reject any religion simply because it comes from
the Third World! God will not accept this pretext on the Day of
Judgment!
Do
not reject any religion simply because of the behavior of some of its
nominal followers because there are bad people among every religious
group, and making a judgment based on those people is misleading as they
may be violating their religion!
There are many proofs of the truth of Islam, and I will talk about some of them
Muslims Worship the CREATOR Not a created
Now there is no religion except Islam that teaches its followers to worship God alone, and believe in Him as TOTALLY PERFECT.
Muslims
believe that there is only one Lord for all the Universe and He is
Creator, Organizer, Planner, Sustainer of the universe. He has no
partners in any of these actions.
However,
is this enough? No because, even those who worship idols (at the time
of Prophet Muhammad and many of them now), they believe that God is the
Only Creator, Organizer, Sustainer of the Universe but this was not
enough to make them Muslims.
The belief in the Oneness of God requires and includes the belief that none has the right to be worshipped but God.
All the acts of worship should be devoted to God, such as Supplication
or prayer, Sacrifice, Repentance, and all other acts of worship.
Since
it was difficult or even impossible for humans to know the right way of
belief and worship by their own means. God has sent His Messengers to
convey His Divine Message and guide people to the Right Way. The Muslim
believes in all the Prophets and makes no distinction between one
another because the religion taught by all the Prophets was pure Islam
(the submission to the Will of God).
When
people abandon the teachings of the Prophets and depend on themselves
to find the truth, they stray from the Right Path and sink into paganism
and idol worship.
According
to pagan religions, their gods appeared and incarnated themselves on
Earth in various human, animal, and even vegetable forms. This is why
the worship humans, elephants, fish, snakes, rats, etc.
• Muslims pray to God
In
Islam there is nothing half-divine half-human. There is no order of
existence or creation between the Creator and the created. So Muslims
worship and pray to God alone in a close, direct and noble relationship without intermediaries!
The Miracles of the Quran
THE QURAN CONTAINS SCIENTIFIC FACTS, WHICH ARE CENTURIES AHEAD OF THEIR TIME.
I
think that the best way to show these scientific facts is to see what
well-known non-Muslim scientists say about these scientific facts in the
Quran.
THE QURAN DOES NOT CONTAIN CONTRADICTIONS.
No
matter how much knowledge and understanding humans have, they will
still make mistakes, forget things or fall short. If the Quran were not
the word of God, there would be some contradictions and shortcomings in
it, as God says:
Do
they not consider the Quran with care? Had it been from other than God,
they would surely have found therein much contradiction. (Quran, 4:82)
But it is free from any shortcoming, error or contradiction; indeed, all of it is wisdom, mercy and justice.
FAILURE TO PRODUCE THE LIKE OF THE QURAN,
God challenged mankind to produce the like of the Quran, but they failed
Muhammad Foretold In Previous Scriptures
Dear readers,
If
any of you is not 100% sure that this prophecy is about Prophet
Muhammad and not any other Prophet, then please tell me why! I have
shown this prophecy to hundreds of non-Muslims and none of them was able
to refute it or even challenge any part of it
(Isaiah 42:1-17)
“Here is MY
SERVANT, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my
Spirit on him and HE WILL BRING JUSTICE TO THE NATIONS. … HE WILL NOT
FALTER OR BE DISCOURAGED TILL HE ESTABLISHES JUSTICE ON EARTH. IN HIS
LAW the islands will put their hope.”…
LET
THE DESERT AND ITS TOWNS RAISE THEIR VOICES; LET THE SETTLEMENTS WHERE
KEDAR LIVES REJOICE. Let the people of Sela (rock) sing for joy; let
them SHOUT FROM THE MOUNTAINTOPS. Let them give glory to the Lord…
But those who trust in idols, who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back in utter shame. (Isaiah 42:1-17)

Alcoholism-

Sexual Harassment-
Adultery-
Illegitimate Children-

Aids and other STDs-
The
spread of these problems in many countries proves the inability of
their systems or religions to prevent or control these problems. In fact
many of these systems encourage directly or indirectly these problems
The true religion of God should be able to solve these problems
If you would like to discuss how Islam miraculously solves these problems, please advise.
Islam is the FASTEST GROWING RELIGION IN THE WORLD
The
Islamic Nation had been the strongest and most advanced nation on earth
for more than 800 years when they were faithful to Islam. However,
Muslims have DECLINED after leaving their religion. And now most of
Muslim countries are among the poorest countries in the world. Most
Muslims do not have money or means to spread their religion.
Furthermore,
there is a lot of anti-Islamic propaganda campaigns directed at
non-Muslims brainwashing them into thinking that Islam preaches
violence, terrorism, oppression, etc to divert them away from the truth
of Islam.
Television,
books, newspapers and magazines are all heavily used to slander the
teachings of Islam. All possible means of media are used to distort the
truth of Islam and to poison the minds of people so that they won't be
receptive to the message of Islam when they hear it!
Regardless
of all of that, is it not extremely surprising is that Islam, is now
the FASTEST GROWING RELIGION IN THE WORLD!! How could the religion of
the poor and weak people spread faster than the religion of the rich and
powerful people, unless it is the truth! How could the religion which
is strongly attacked and distorted spread faster than other religions
which are supported with the media and money?
This
is not a new phenomenon! When the Mongols invaded and conquered large
portions of the Islamic Empire, instead of destroying the religion, they
adopted it!! The conquerors adopting the religion of the conquered !!!
The following quotes confirm that Islam is the fastest growing religion.
Already more than a billion-people strong, Islam is the world’s fastest-growing religion. [ABCNEWS, Abcnews.com]
Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the country." [NEWSDAY, March 7, 1989, p.4]
"Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the United States..." [NEW YORK TIMES, ]
Islam
is also the fastest-growing religion. In the United States, for
example, nearly 80 percent of the more than 1,200 mosques have been
built in the past 12 years.
