In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful





O rational human being, we love for you what we love for ourselves. Know that there is no salvation or happiness for you in this life except by knowing the true religion. The material we present now will guide you to the truth with evidence. So, bring your mind and reflect carefully.





First: Important Questions: • Who created the heavens and the earth, and all the magnificent creatures within them such as the sun, the moon, the stars, the seas, the animals, the mountains, and people?


* Who made this precise and perfect system in all creatures?


* Who created human beings, granted them hearing, sight, and intellect, and made them capable of acquiring knowledge and understanding truths?


* How do you explain the intricate design in your body and the bodies of living creatures? Who created them?


* How does this vast universe remain stable, with its laws controlling it meticulously over time?


* Who created the systems that govern this world (life and death, reproduction, day and night, changing of the seasons, etc.)?


* Did this universe create itself, or did it come from nothing, or did it happen by chance?


* Why does a person believe in the existence of things they cannot see, such as perception, the mind, the soul, feelings, and love, unless they see the effects of these things? How can a person deny the existence of a Creator when they see the effects of His creations, His craftsmanship, and His mercy?


* No sane person would believe that a house came into existence without someone building it! Or that the house was made by nothing! So, how can some people believe that this vast universe came from nothing or by chance?


* Allah says in the Qur’an: (Do they think they were created by nothing, or are they their own creators? Did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, they have no certainty).


This verse tells us that Allah denies the claim of those who say they were created by nothing or that they are the creators of the vast creations, which are greater than themselves. Let anyone who makes such a claim create a fly or a mosquito if they are truthful.





Second: Who is the Creator? There is no doubt that all of these creatures and the entire universe, with its precise system, have one Creator, and that is Allah, the Almighty. He possesses names and attributes that indicate His greatness and perfection. Some of His names are: The Creator, The Omnipotent, The Knowledgeable, The All-Aware, The Merciful, The Provider, and His most famous name is "Allah," which means the One who is worthy of worship alone, with no partners.


Allah says in the Qur’an: (Say, "He is Allah, [Who is] One, Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, and there is none comparable to Him").


We have come to know that Allah is the Creator through several means:





Through reason, as every action has a doer, and every creation has a creator.





Through our innate nature, with which Allah created creatures.





Through the messengers whom Allah sent, along with clear proofs and evidence, including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them all).





Through the revealed books that Allah sent, including the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur’an.





By observing the fate of the nations that denied that Allah is the true God, such as the people of Noah, 'Ad, Thamud, Midian, Lot's people, and others. Whoever believes is saved, and whoever denies perishes.








Third: What are the attributes of the Creator? The Creator is the One who created everything from the smallest creature to the greatest of creations. He created the earth and made it suitable for its inhabitants, and He created the heavens and all that they contain, such as galaxies, stars, and angels.


He is the One who provided for us the air, the night, the day, the seas, and the rivers. He created us from a sperm drop, nurtured us while we were fetuses in our mothers' wombs, brought us out as babies, then as youth, then as the elderly, and eventually He takes our lives. He distinguished us by intellect from other creatures.


The Creator is the Ever-Living, the All-Knowing, the All-Powerful, the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing, the Sustainer with strength, and He is free from any deficiency or imperfection. He is the object of worship and deserves to be worshiped alone, with no partners, and anything worshiped other than Him is false and lacking and subject to death and annihilation.


The Creator is the One who does not forget, does not sleep, and does not eat. He is the One with ultimate greatness, and He cannot have a spouse or a child, for His attributes are all-perfect and free from any need or deficiency. All texts that attribute imperfection to the Creator, including those attributed to the Prophets, are altered and not part of the true revelation that the Prophets brought.





Fourth: Why did Allah create us? Allah created us for a significant purpose, which is to worship Him alone, with no partners.


Worship is the submission to Allah in humility and love. It encompasses everything that Allah loves and is pleased with, including monotheism, honesty, trustworthiness, prayer, fasting, pilgrimage, charity, honoring parents, and doing good to others, and reliance on Allah.





Fifth: Is it reasonable that the Creator would leave us without revelation? Is it reasonable that the One who created us with such precision and provided us with all that is in the heavens and the earth would create us without purpose or leave us without answers to the most important questions, such as: Why are we here? What happens after death? What is the purpose of our creation?


The answer is no, it is not reasonable. Allah sent the messengers to inform us of the purpose of our existence, what He wants from us, and what we must do.


Allah sent messengers such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, and provided them with miracles and signs to prove their truthfulness. Whoever believes in them will succeed and be saved, while those who deny them will lose both this life and the Hereafter and will be among the people of the Hellfire.





Sixth: Why were there multiple messengers? Allah has sent messengers from the beginning of time to call people to their Lord and deliver His commands. They all had the same message: to worship Allah alone. Whenever a people deviated from the message of their prophet, Allah sent another messenger to correct their path. The last of the messengers is Muhammad (peace be upon him), who brought the eternal and final law for all people until the Day of Judgment.


Therefore, we Muslims believe, as Allah commands, in all of the previous messengers and books.


Allah says: (The Messenger believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. Each one believes in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers").





Seventh: What is Islam? Islam is the submission to Allah through monotheism, obedience to Him through worship, and purity from polytheism.


Allah says in the Qur’an: (Whoever rejects false gods and believes in Allah has certainly held onto the most trustworthy handhold, which will never break).


Islam is the religion of all the Prophets, and their message was the same: worship Allah alone. Muslims today are the only ones adhering to the true religion that was brought by all the Prophets, and Islam is the final and most complete religion.





Eighth: What do Muslims believe about Jesus (peace be upon him)? Muslims believe that Jesus is a servant of Allah and His messenger, and that he was born miraculously without a father. He was one of the greatest messengers sent by Allah, and he did not claim to be divine.


Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified but was raised up by Allah, and he will return at the end of times as a just ruler.





Ninth: The Brave Decision (The Most Courageous and Best Decision in Your Life) The most courageous decision you can make in your life is to enter into the true religion of Allah, Islam.


Whoever seeks salvation in this world and the Hereafter must enter Islam and follow the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), because it is an established fact shared by all Prophets that only Muslims, who believe in Allah and His messengers, will succeed in the Hereafter.





Tenth: What do I need to do to become a Muslim? The key to Islam is the testimony that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Anyone who wishes to enter Islam must declare this belief by saying: (I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).


To become a Muslim, one must believe in the six pillars of faith and practice the five pillars of Islam.
