Merits of Islam in the Area of Creed
1- Islam has given thorough details of the concept of Allah "God",
unlike other beliefs, which make God a tribal god or a one of three
gods, it also gives thorough, and clear details of the obligations
towards Him, towards self and towards fellow beings.112: 1. Say (O
Muhammad): He is All=E2h, (the) One.
**All=E2h-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need,
He neither eats nor drinks).
**.He begets not, nor was He begotten;
**And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him."29: 22. He is
All=E2h, than Whom there is L=E2 il=E2ha illa Huwa (none has the right to
b=
e
wor****pped but He) the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen (open).
He is the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
**He is All=E2h than Whom there is L=E2 il=E2ha illa Huwa (none has the
right to be wor****pped but He) the King, the Holy, the One Free from
all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures,
the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to All=E2h! (High
is He) above all that they associate as partners with Him.
**. He is All=E2h, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower
of forms. To Him belong the Best Names . All that is in the heavens
and the earth glorify Him. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
2- Islam clearly defines the goals of our existence and duties.51:56.
And I (All=E2h) created not the jinns and humans except they should
wor****p Me (Alone). 2: 21. O mankind! Wor****p your Lord (All=E2h),Who
created you and those who were before you so that you may become Al-
Muttaq=FBn (the pious).
3- Islam clearly defines the results of failure in doing our duties so
that we are aware of the consequences of our actions.4: 14. And
whosoever disobeys All=E2h and His Messenger (Muhammad), and
transgresses His limits, He will cast him into the Fire, to abide
therein; and he shall have a disgraceful torment.
4- Islam is the only religion on earth through which the Creator is
wor****pped according to His direct instructions found in His Final
Book; the Holy Qoran, unlike others who wor****p Him based on various
human interpretations found in so-called holy books.15: 9. Verily We:
It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur=92=E2n) and surely, We
will guard it (from corruption) .
5- Islam is the only religion of Allah, which He ordained on humans
since the creation of Adam until the Day of Judgment. Naturally,
having One God requires one religion only. It makes no sense to
believe in One God, and at the same time believe in a multiplicity of
religions. 3: 19. Truly, the religion with All=E2h is Isl=E2m. Those who
were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) did not differ except,
out of mutual jealousy, after knowledge had come to them. And whoever
disbelieves in the Ay=E2t (proofs, evidences, verses, signs,
revelations, etc.) of All=E2h, then surely, All=E2h is Swift in calling to
account. 16:36. And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community,
nation) a Messenger (proclaiming): "Wor****p All=E2h (Alone), and avoid
(or keep away from) T=E2gh=FBt (all false deities, etc. i.e. do not
wor****p T=E2gh=FBt besides All=E2h). Then of them were some whom All=E2h
guided and of them were some upon whom the straying was justified. So
travel through the land and see what was the end of those who denied
(the truth). 3:85.And whoever seeks a religion other than Isl=E2m, it
will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of
the losers.
6- Islam=92s simplicity and clarity enables all various intellect levels
of people to understand it, and subsequently embrace it without any
hesitation or uncertainty.2: 285. The Messenger (Muhammad) believes in
what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the
believers. Each one believes in All=E2h, His Angels, His Books, and His
Messengers. They say,We make no distinction between one another of His
Messengers" - and they say, "We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your
Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all)." 6:151. Say
(O Muhammad): Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you
from: Join not anything in wor****p with Him; be good and dutiful to
your parents; kill not your children because of poverty - We provide
sustenance for you and for them; come not near to Al-Faw=E2hish
(shameful sins, illegal ***ual intercourse, etc.) whether committed
openly or secretly, and kill not anyone whom All=E2h has forbidden,
except for a just cause (according to Isl=E2mic law). This He has
commanded you that you may understand. 152. And come not near to the
orphan=92s property, except to improve it, until he (or she) attains the
age of full strength; and give full measure and full weight with
justice. We burden not any person, but that which he can bear.And
whenever you give your word (i.e. judge between men or give evidence,
etc.), say the truth even if a near relative is concerned, and fulfill
the Covenant of All=E2h, This He commands you, that you may remember.
17: 32. And come not near to the unlawful ***ual intercourse. Verily,
it is a F=E2hishah [i.e. anything that transgresses its limits (a great
sin)], and an evil way (that leads one to Hell unless All=E2h forgives
him). The evidence from the Prophet=92s tradition is: Narrated =91Ubada
bin As-Samit: I, along with a group of people, gave the pledge of
allegiance to Allah=92s Apostle. He said, "I take your Pledge on the
condition that you (1) will not join partners in wor****p with Allah,
(2) will not steal, (3) will not commit illegal ***ual intercourse,
(4) will not kill your offspring, (5) will not slander, (6) and will
not disobey me when I order you to do good. Whoever among you will
abide by his pledge, his reward will be with Allah, and whoever
commits any of those sins and receives the punishment in this world,
that punishment will be an expiation for his sins and purification;
but if Allah screens him, then it will be up to Allah to punish him if
He will or excuse Him, if He will."
7- Islam requires belief in all the prophets of God and the former
original revealed Books.4: 136. O you who believe! Believe in All=E2h,
and His Messenger (Muhammad), and the Book (the Qur=92=E2n) which He has
sent down to His Messenger, and the Scripture which He sent down to
those before (him), and whosoever disbelieves in All=E2h, His Angels,
His Books, His Messengers, and the Last Day, then indeed he has
strayed far away.
8- The Prophet of Islam (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),
is the only prophet whose followers took great authenticity care of
even the smallest details of his biography, and recorded them in well-
known sources which are considered to be the second source of Islamic
legislation.
9- While the missions of the previous prophets of God were addressed
to specific nations at specific times, Islam is directed to all human
beings until the Last Hour. 34: 28. And We have not sent you (O
Muhammad) except as a giver of glad tidings and a warner to all
mankind, but most of men know not. 10- Islam acquits the prophets of
the horrible misdeeds, which the Bible accuses them of committing.38:
47. And they are with Us, verily, of the chosen and the best!
11- Islam ordains five prayers throughout the day and night, so the
Muslim is in touch with his Creator at all times.11:114. And perform
As-Sal=E2t (Iq=E2mat-as-Sal=E2t), at the two ends of the day and in some
hours of the night [i.e. the five compulsory Sal=E2t (prayers)]. Verily,
the good deeds remove the evil deeds (i.e. small sins). That is a
reminder (an advice) for the mindful (those who accept advice).
12- Ways of gaining rewards are innumerable in Islam. A Muslim is
rewarded for whatever he does to draw himself closer to Allah. 99:7.
So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom (or a small
ant), shall see it. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human
being. If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal
by helping him to ride it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all this
will be regarded charity. A good word, and every step one takes to
offer the compulsory Congregational prayer, is regarded as charity;
and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity."
13- Islam encourages people to repent by leaving the door open to
them to return to the Creator at any time, who assuredly will forgive
all their previous sins.39: 53.Say: "O =91Ib=E2d=EE (My slaves) who have
transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)!
Despair not of the Mercy of All=E2h, verily All=E2h forgives all sins.
Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.25: 70. Except those who
repent and believe (in Isl=E2mic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds,
for those, All=E2h will change their sins into good deeds, and All=E2h is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
14- Islam imposes Jihad on Muslims when oppressed, so that there will
be no wor****pping of any associates with Allah.8:39. And fight them
until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e.
wor****pping others besides All=E2h) and the religion (wor****p) will all
be for All=E2h Alone [in the whole of the world ]. But if they cease
(wor****pping others besides All=E2h), then certainly, All=E2h is All-Seer
of what they do.22: 40. Those who have been expelled from their homes
unjustly only because they said: "Our Lord is All=E2h." For had it not
been that All=E2h checks one set of people by means of another,
monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, wherein the Name of
All=E2h is mentioned much would surely have been pulled down. Verily,
All=E2h will help those who help His (Cause). Truly, All=E2h is All-
Strong, All-Mighty. This demonstrates the wisdom of jihad; it is meant
to establish the religion of Allah; monotheism/Islam, or preventing
the infidels from harming the believers, and paving the way to wor****p
Allah and apply His laws.
15- Islam prohibits adding or omitting anything to or from the Islamic
teachings to preserve and maintain it as exactly as when is was
revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him).The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
=93Whoever innovates something in this matter of ours [i.e., Islam] that
is not a part of it will have it rejected
=97=97=97=97=97=97=97=97=97=97=96
