"Say We believe in God and what is revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and I`saac and Jacob and the Tribes, and what was entrusted to Moses and Jesus and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them and to Him we have surrendered."
(Quran 3: 84)
Answers of the Qurán to Important Questions - Read and Reflect
What is the natural code of conduct (religion) of humanity?
Do they now seek a religion other than that prescribed by Allah
even though all that is in the heavens and the earth is in submission to Him -
willingly or unwillingly - and to Him all shall return? Say: 'We believe in
Allah and what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael
and Isaac and Jacob and his descendents, and the teachings which Allah gave to
Moses and Jesus and to other Prophets. We make no distinction between any of
them; and to Him do we submit.' And whoever seeks a way other than this way of
submission (Islam), will find that it will not be accepted from him and in the
Life to Come he will be among the losers. [The Qurán 3:83]
Why Islam teaches us to serve none but God?
O Mankind, serve your Lord Who has created you as well as those
before you; do so that you are saved. It is He Who has made the earth a resting
place for you, and the sky a canopy, and sent down water from above with which
He brought forth fruits for your sustenance. Do not, then, set up rivals to
Allah when you know (the truth). [The Qurán 2:21-22]
Your God is One God, there is no God but He; the Merciful, the
Compassionate. (To guide) those who use their reason (to this truth) there are
many signs in the creation of the heaven and the earth, in the constant
alternation of night and day, in the vessels which speed across the sea carrying
the things which are of profit to men, in the water which Allah sends down from
the heaven thereby quickening the earth after its death, in the scattering of
every kind of animal in the earth, and in the courses of the winds and the
clouds pressed into service between heaven and earth. [The Qurán 2: 163-164]
Why embracing Islam is to be guided by God to His Straight Way?
In the beginning, mankind followed one single way. (Later on
this state ended and differences arose.) Then Allah sent forth Prophets as
heralds of good tidings for the righteous and as warners against the
consequences of evil-doing. He sent down with them the Book embodying the Truth
so that it might judge between people in their disputes. And those who innovated
divergent ways rather than follow the Truth were none other than those who had
received the knowledge of the Truth and clear guidance; and they did so to
commit excesses against each other. Thus Allah directed, by His leave, those who
have come to believe (in the Prophets) to the right way on matters on which they
disagreed. Allah guides whomsoever He wills onto the straight way. [The Qurán
2: 213]
Do you suppose that you will enter Paradise untouched by the
suffering endured by men of faith who passed away before you? They were
afflicted by misery and hardship and were so convulsed that the Messenger and
the believers with him cried out: 'When will Allah's help arrive?' They were
assured that Allah's help was close by. [The Qurán 2:214]
