- Question: People of all religions say that their religion is true . Is Islam that proof of true religion ?
- Answer:
quoteAnd when it is said to them, "Follow what God has sent down," they say, "No, no, we will follow the way our forefathers have seen". If Satan calls them to the blazing fire, what is it? - Surah Luqman (31:21)
If someone comes to you, 2 and 2 are added to 3, if someone says 4 and someone says 5 - what do you do to settle their disputes? You apply your reasoning and understanding, and accept the answer that you can prove to be the truth. Because we are all things in the world, we argue with intelligence, then why do not we use logic and intelligence to understand which religion is true?
Say: If ye are truthful, present the evidence. - (Surah Baqarah 2: 111)
If you ask a non-Muslim - how would you prove that your religion is true? In most cases, the answer you get is that - when I pray to my God, it is accepted, so my religion is the true religion. This is not actually a proof. If the prayer is accepted, if any religion can prove that the truth is true then all the religions of the world are true, because people of all religions have different prayers. However, due to conflicts between different religions, all religions can not be true.
In order to prove any religion true or false, we must go back to the books of that religion. Since people of all faiths claim that their scriptures are from their God, then in the book of religion, the Creator must give something that man will realize that the religion is without any doubt true.
There is innumerable evidence of the authenticity of religion in Islam, such as the nature and characteristics of God (Tauhid), poetical poetry, scientific, conservation, and various astonishing topics, events of the life of the Prophet (s) etc. But, in this post I will say only one proof - that is Tauhid.
The most important part of any religion is the creator and his attributes. Therefore, if a religion does not give the definition of the Creator, it can not be accepted religion. You go to study any other religion in the world without Islam, the preachers of that religion will say that the existence of God is an emotional affair, it is not possible to argue or debate, or they will talk about such characteristics of God - that you must Be Confafed. The only Islam religion is the only exception to God's definition. In Sura Ikhlas, the properties of Allah (SWT) have been described so beautifully, that there is no longer any hesitation for the creator.
Say: He is God, the one and the unique. Everyone is in need of it, he is not dependent on somebody. He did not give birth to anyone and he was not even born. And no one is equal to him. - Surah Ikhlas (112: 1-4)
In my previous writings , the evidence that God has existed , the characteristics of God that have been mentioned, no other religion in the world can give you so logical and straightforward answers to Allah. God is one, there is nothing like this, he is omnipotent, so leaving all the means and worshiping him directly - can there be something easier than that? Taoheed's speech is so simple and intuitive that any person - whether he is educated or uneducated, whether young or old - very easily click on it in his heart.
Allah has sent man to the earth with the instinct of faith in one God. In the language of Islam it is called Fitra. Surveys among people returning to Islam from other religions in more than 20 countries of the world have been found to be the most influential of them, following their becoming Muslim - Allah is one (Tauhid) [Source: Contemporary Issues - Dr. Bilal Philips].
You keep yourself firmly in religion. You follow Fitrah, with which He created man. There is no change in the creation of God. This is the simple religion; But most people do not knnow it. -Sunra Room (30:30)
God's will is quite conforming to the ideas of God in all the religions of the world, except in Islam. God's idea in Hinduism is quite complex. Although Hindus believe in a Brahmin, their four sectors (saivism, shaktism, vaishnavism, smartism) have different gods [2]. These four sectors call God differently, make different figures and their God-related ideas are different. But, all sectors believe in Pantheism. Which means - There is no difference between creator and creation, everything we see is the creator and all creation. By this belief, the Hindus worship idols, stones, trees, even some people in a duck and vagina , most of them use Hindu Gomutra and dung as puja. The God of Hindu religion comes as a god in the world, rape, parasites, and other things that can not be the work of the Creator [3].
On the other hand, Christians will say that God sent his son Jesus to this world and made up the Sacrifice for the sins of man. But human beings can not be like a fish, so it is not understandable how a child of infinite God can be a finite man. Despite being "God," he used to eat, drink, sleep, do obeisance to God, seek his help, and even ordinary people have killed this 'God'! Not only that, if the God of the Christians is Lord of the whole universe, his power is so limited that Adam in heaven may be hidden by him [4]! In the Bible, the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) is said to have said that the Bible does not preach Ibrahim (I) but the Trinity (the concept of three Gods), he is asking God to surrender to one God, that is, he has proclaimed Islam.
On the other hand, Jews say they are God's Chosen People. Being born of Jews, can not be converted to Jews [1]. The Jews say that God is cruel, and they curse God because they have been inflicted on one side after another. And, Buddhism does not give any clear idea about the Creator.
It is important that the definition of the Creator in all the other religions of the world is so convincing, that a thoughtful person can easily understand that no other religion other than Islam can be a true religion.
But do they not mind thinking about the Qur'an? Or do they lock their hearts? - Surah Muhammad (peace be upon him) (47:24)
