(Q) Non-Muslim: To what does Islam call?


(A) The Muslim: Islam calls for everything that pure instinct accepts and pure souls aspire to. It does not contradict the clear, rational mind. It calls for:


- Believing in the one God, the Creator of everything, and glorifying, purifying, and sanctifying Him. He is Almighty God.


- Believing in the prophets of God, raising their status, and purifying them from the evils, immorality, and vices attributed to them by those of other beliefs. God chooses prophets to deliver His messages so that they can be lamps of guidance for all people.


- Believing in the holy books sent to His prophets and messengers, the latest of which is the Holy Qur'an sent to the last Prophet and messenger Muhammad (May God bless them all), indicating His legislation and teachings to be a guide for all people.


- Calling for the right laws, wise transactions, and lofty teachings by which the lives of all human beings become upright according to Allah's (God's) will.


- Calling for guided worship by which the human soul transcends and elevates.


- Calling for moderation that has a balance between this world and the hereafter, giving each of them their dues.


- Calling for honoring the man and preserving his life.


Why choose Islam as a religion?

- Calling for attention to young people, the upbringing of children, and the urging of compassion for them.


- Calling for compassion and mercy for other creatures such as animals, birds, trees, plants, etc.
