Why Choose Islam?

Why choose Islam, what distinguishes Islam with other religions, what special? Happenings Talking characteristics of Islam that attracted attention and Distinguished it from other religions is the first and most interesting. Among them, the Islamic religion of Islam denies the notion that monopolizes the truth and denied that there was no other religions are true. Similarly, Islam does not state that only the Arabs who had become the recipient vessel of God's love. Islam is a religion only cypress completely rejects the notion that truth is the monopoly of a religion, a people or a nation.
The opposite of religion of Islam argues that divine guidance is a blessing of the universe that has supported human livelihoods over the Centuries. Qur'anic Scripture tells us that no one nation one people were never blessed with the guidance of divine grace. Similarly, there was no one else in the world religion or a people who had never visited by the Prophets and the messengers of God (Surah 35:35)

Contrary to the view of Islam on the Manifestation of God's grace to all people in this world of our minds attracted by the fact that no one holy book of any religion that proves or even mention the possibility of human or other people in the pages of history to receive the light and receive guidance from God. In essence of truth and validity of a local or regional religion often so much emphasis, while the truth of other religions, religion completely ignored, as if the sun of truth is just rising and sinking on the horizon is limited to certain people to the exclusion of the rest of the inhabitants of another world that seems, will be abandoned and lost in eternal darkness.

For example the Book of Bible suggests just the God of Israel, and repeatedly said:

Praise is to God, the God of Israel (I Chronicles, 16:17)

The book did not confirm the truth at all the revelations bestowed upon other countries or to other people-people. Thus the belief of the Jews that all the Prophets of Israel sent only to the tribes of Israel is entirely consistent with the objectives and mandate of the Bible. Jesus also has stated that his arrival was intended to provide guidance to the Hebrew tribes alone, and he has to say: "

"It is not I'd been sent to the other, only to the lost sheep of the children of Israel" (Matthew 15:24)

And he warned his disciples with these words as follows:

"Not worth the bread of children, then dump him to the dogs". (Matthew 15:26)

It is also the case are like the Hindu religion and Scriptures also show his call to the class of people from high castes. It says:

"If a chance to hear a line of Vedic verses, the King must ears with wax and pewter"

and,

"If he read a part of the holy books, his tongue should be cut, if he managed to read the Vedas body should be cut." (Gotama Smirti: 12)

even if we Heed the commands or similar hard we give a little review is not so hard on the commandments, the fact remains that the sacred books of various religions are not explicitly signalled to the truth of the religions of the countries and the other-people . Fundamental question that arises here is if all these religions are essentially true and what lesson also suggests the concept of divinity in words so limited that such insights? Quran easily provides a solution to this complicated situation. The Quran says that even before the Quran was revealed and the Great Prophet Muhammad was sent the messengers of God indeed has been sent to it each and every part of the world, but the coverage area of religions that are regional or temporary effect. This is because the human civilization had not yet universal Achieved task was sent to undertaking the universe.

Universal Religion

The first page of the book of the Holy Koran also submit flattered praise to Allah, Lord of the universe, and the final message of the Qur'an put forward the concept of insight into the universe-not just the concept of God or God's Arab Islam alone people. Surely no one before the Great Prophet Muhammad's appeal to all mankind and there is no one book before the Koran holy book of the call addressed to the whole world. The first confession was made for the same person with the Prophet Muhammad's words as follows:

''And we sent you (Muhammad) but as a bearer of news like and warning to all men, but most people do not know (As-Saba: 29)

and then:

"Say (O Muhammad), 'O mankind! I messengers unto you" (Al-raf: 159)

And when the Qur'an calls itself as a warning to the universe (at-Takwir: 28) The Qur'an maintains its identity as a giver of instructions that her dependent development and human progress. Qur'an repeatedly been called "that confirmed the truth of" holy books and other Muslim men were ordered to believe in all the other Prophets just like the way they trust their own Prophets. (Prophet Muhammad PBUH). Our faith is forbidden in Distinguishing among The Prophets can not believe that is only to some and reject the others. The Qur'an states:

"(We) all believe in God and the angels of His, and the Book-of his book, and the apostles-apostles by saying, 'We do not discriminate His messengers messengers to each other" (Albaqarah: 286)

It is interesting to examine the Universality of Islam is and why Islam has been so stressed at this time. Muslims marched continuously advanced with a message to unite mankind. Examples of this tramp in our day are the establishment of the various agencies and the International Federation. Indeed all the bodies and the Federation was a milestone mile stones along the long road back-junction deviate toward the unity of all mankind. Therefore felt needs highly advanced human beings today are more civilized met by planting the seeds of this problem-solving in the teaching mandate of Islam 100 years ago. Of course, today's rapid development in the field of frequency of travel and communications provide new stimulus to the process towards unity, the peoples and nations.

Understand the differences and conflicts between religions and Reality they

The question that stuck out is if all true religion founded by the Apostles of God why there are differences in the Teachings of their religion? Can the God who was also lowered Teachings different? This question is answered by Islam, and this too is a Distinguishing features of this religion. Islam holds that there are two main things that led to understand the differences between the various religions. First is the diversity of circumstances had willed the diversity of rules and laws, and God the All-Knowing and the All-Wise has provided guidance for many Centuries, regions and nations according to their needs of each. Second, the content of the various religions so Faded and Withered swallowed up period, because the authenticity of religion, AGMA was not maintained, the followers of their own put-heresy and heresy variation-variation to meet the needs of the ever-changing. And the books of the original revelation continue constantly modified for this purpose. It is obvious pollution of the authenticity of such Teachings in is the end impose new guidelines that deviate from the original source. As God says in the Qur'an as follows:

"They were words of twisting places and forget some of what has been Advised to them" (Al-Maidah: 14)

If we trace the history of the differences between the various religions based on the principles put forward by the principle of newspaper, then we will find that the differences tend to decrease if we reach closer to the source itself. For example, if we restrict the difference between Christianity and Islam only to the life of Jesus and the four Gospels in the new agreement will be visible only are small differences between the main Teachings of the Bible and the Koran. But if we continue to explore the line time of the road-gap differences these differences will become larger and larger until nothing to bridge. And all this is caused by human effort to correct what has been revealed in the original. History of other religions also Reveal the same basic reality, and we get a strong support from the Koran that changes and corrected made by human hands against the Teachings of God, forever decline stemmed from the worship of one God leads to more than one God, and from reality to fiction, and of humanity to the practice of worship of human beings.

The Qur'an tells us that the surest way to know the characteristics of a true religion, though later experienced by human intervention, is to check the original source. If the original source to teach the Oneness of God, not worship anything except God Almighty and to teach a sense of genuine affection more pure to the whole mankind. So Religion is like that, although then had undergone dramatic changes-should be accepted as the true religion. The founders of religions who fulfilled the benchmark is really forms a more pious and righteous are messengers sent by God, about those we do not Distinguished between one another and we must fully trust their truth, they were having as fundamental characteristics that although they differ in time and place. The Qur'an explains this way:

"And they were not commanded but to worship God with Sincere in obedience to Him and with straight and establish prayer and pay zakat. And that's true religion. (Al-Bayyinah: 6)

A True Religion

Distinguishing Another feature is the religion of Islam is not just nature but universally announced also announced a lasting character, and then meet the preconditions for such announcements. For example one can apply the eternal mandate if the mandate was complete and perfect in every aspect and also the truth of it guaranteed. In other words His book should carry the divine guarantee safe from pengkoreksian and intervention by human hands. As for the Qur'an God Almighty himself announced in the Qur'an:

"Today have I perfected your religion for you, and have been Kulengkapkan nikmatKu delight upon you and have Islam as a religion" (Al-Maidah: 4)

Maintenance Qur'an

As I point out a doctrine of eternal are inadequate again just to complete the perfect sheer, but there must also guarantee the maintenance of the original shape. Qur'an quite fulfil these fundamental needs, and a lower form of this Qur'an has been announced with the words that bright-light:

"We have sent down this book and in fact is we as keeper" (Al-Hijr: 10)

In other words God Himself will guard it and would never let him handle mixed-human. A way of maintaining the integrity of the text according to the will of God is within each every century there are always hundreds of thousands of people who have memorize the Koran by rote, and this practice continues to this day. And the main benchmark for maintaining the core purpose and content of the message it is sunnah (toxicity) Allah appoint an interpreter guide, mushlikh-mushlikh, reformers, Reformers in later Centuries. They are usually sent as spiritual leaders by the Almighty himself, and the usual celestial guidance to Mediate the differences and contradictions among adherents understand-Islamic religion. Thereby keeping the true spirit of the holy Koran book.

Of course the question arises, is there any recognition of the Qur'an regarding the maintenance is also supported by reliable evidence? A key answer to this question lies in the fact that there are a large number of non-Muslim experts research completely failed in their attempt to show that the Qur'anic text has been mixed with human signed after the Great Prophet Muhammad died. There essentially on extensive research experts in this field, stated openly that the Qur'an has been preserved and maintained intact in the original form. For example Sir William Muir in his book, "The Life of Muhammad '" says:

"We can express the strongest Suspicion, that every verse is the original composition and the whole of Muhammad himself. (The Life of Muhammad, p. 28)

and also:

"Besides there are all the outer and inner security that we have a text which Muhammad himself suggested and use (Ibid, p. 27)

Nöldeke said:

"There is the possibility of writing a little mistake but Uthman Koran contains no other elements except the original layout, although sometimes very odd arrangement. The efforts of European scholars to prove the existence of the filling-in insertion in the Qur'an and had failed. (Enc. Brit. Edition to 9 under the word Quran)

A Complete Religious

As for the recognition of Islam that differs from anything else unique that the Teachings of the Quran is perfect and complete more fully able to give demands to mankind over the Centuries this was fully supported by the description. It is not possible to discuss this subject in detail in this short time and I must limit myself to a brief reference to some guiding principles and examples as an illustration. First we must consider how Islam succeeded in meeting the demands of changing times, who thus anticipate the need to make a correction in the Teachings. It Dazzle for charity demands review recommended by Islam in this regard and will now about it before I offer you all as an example:

Islamic Based only the fundamental principles and prevent him from mentioning details that might be changing in tackling demands of the times and changing circumstances that. Islam not only recognizes the fact that there is a change and their development to some extent in one day. For example it is possible some of the world inhabited by people who are still living in the stone age, and some groups of people and ethnicity may still be a thousand years behind our century., Although we both were in the same period. Social and intellectual conditions of their actual politics are still left behind a century far behind. I'm sure we all would agree that a very stupid act when forced political ideologies of the modern to the indigenous peoples in Australia or to the people of Congo pygmies in the country.

Islam is a religion that aligns them with human nature and meets all human needs, change is not needed in the teaching-teaching, unless there is also a fundamental change in human nature-a view that we can immediately remove. These are some important points in the principles of Islamic Teachings. Now I will discuss these points a little further so that my description can be fully understood.

Zakat and Money Flowers

Islam denounced the institution of money interest in all its forms and strongly encourage him to eliminate it totally. Style stated motivation for replacing interest money, in order to move the economic wheel is called zakat. I certainly did not discuss this issue in detail in the time available, and therefore I will only say a few words about the methodology used by the Qur'an to express the core-core Teachings within the scope of this important situation. Zakat is an order to withhold capital tax, realized from the people who are. In addition to meet the demands of this tax is intended to meet the needs of poor people. In other words the order or the system not only meets the needs of the government mechanism but also guarantee to meet the demands of public welfare. All it has done is to put the basic principles and handed it to individuals who have knowledge of reasoning and insight to decide cases in accordance with the conditions of small-dominant conditions in the specific environment at a particular time. The Koran says that in a number of their Possessions and crossed the line beyond even their basic needs have a field for those who do not capable to meet the Basic Necessities of life and are considered incapable in their environment. Clearly this is proof that is everyone's right to have certain basic Necessities of life given to him in every country and society, while the responsibility to perform this obligation are those who have wealth beyond the limit of their basic needs by delivering to the state to make decisions on basic work which Ensure that the system is good, fair, impartial and suited to meet the basic objectives.

Direction-Direction of Political Affairs

Other big international problem that we are faced with today is the determination of form of government to a particular region or country. Here, too, guiding principles of Islamic religion is so relevant, weighted, and the elastic so that the truth and the interests deeds be evidence of the truth itself. No one can deny that certain forms of government are considered suitable or otherwise not suitable only when applied to a particular set of circumstances. And futile to imagine that a certain political system can meet the needs of all people of all ages. That is why Islam does not specify a particular form of government. Similarly, Islam does not express or socialist forms of democracy are also not recommended for the kingdom or the form of Dictatorship. Instead of developing disseminated methods for establishing government-government, Islam is explained principally to run the affairs of politics and governance in a way typical of and set of requirements that no matter what form-the obligations of a government must always be carried out fairly and not one -sided, with Sympathy, ever meet and Uphold the rights of human rights.

Thus, instead of emphasizing on the first segment of the popular definition of democracy, which is "government by the people", Islam emphasizes that any form of government in all circumstances must be "for the people". So if democracy is among the forms of other government real emphasis is on quality. It is said that democracy is not an empty democracy, but that they are choosing their leaders must leaders people who are competent, motivated by honesty to elect those who really only able to work and quality. This has been made by the Qur'an requirement to elect a leader:

"Truly God commands you to submit appeals to the owners, and if you judge between people should decide fairly. (An-Nisa: 59)

Then as natijah any form of government that might set up, the government was obliged to justice without discrimination of race, color or creed.

Now I will mention briefly the rules of orderly basis defined by the Qur'an on a system of government:

"Government is obliged to protect the honor, life and property people" (4:59)

"A person ruler must always act fairly between individuals and among nations (4:59)

National problems should be resolved by consultation "(42:39)

"The government should provide basic needs of human-namely the needs of providing food, clothing and shelter" (106:5)

People must be provided a peaceful environment and safety, as well as Life, property and honor they are protected "

economic order must be fair and equitable and neat.

health care for the organized.

Must have full freedom in explaining religion "(2:257)

The defeated nation should be treated fairly "(5:9)

Prisoners of war must be treated with affection "(8:68)

Agreement must forever be respected

Agreements that do not unjustly imposed on the weak.

Muslim citizens were ordered to obey the government in power. The only exception to this command is if the government firmly oppose and prevent the Islamic people worship

If disagreement arises with the authorities understand that the distinction must be completed accordance with the principles described by the Prophet, let not the time we rocked tossed by the Customary self-absorbed.

People were ordered to assist the master plan with supporting a plan that aims to improve the general welfare and Tranquility. Forbidden launched a movement called non-cooperative

it is also the case are like the governments are obliged to assist business in berkaidah whether they are individual or collective, and not Hinder such efforts.

Islamic Concept of Justice

Now I will mention a few examples of the principles of Islamic principles-perhaps deserves special emphasis in the world today. Other religions do not put forward comprehensive guidelines on the implementation of justice and rules of The Game cleaning, and although when mentioned but mention the words that could Hardly be applied to our present era. In essence some of these directives seem to contradict directly with the intellect and our reasoning in this century, and we can do other than to conclude that these Teachings have been corrupted or had been intended only for local or temporary applications. Because the Jewish religion only shows God as the God of Israel to exclude all others, it is not Surprising that Judaism even respond to the problems of fundamental rights of human beings are not supposed as.

The Jewish religion does not seem to increasingly friendly to the people not only Hindus but also not against the Hindus themselves from lower Caste, because it further Narrows reach of God's love to the small Part of the human race. Hinduism specify:

"If a Brahmin can not afford to pay a debt to a Sudra, sudra people had no right to collect. However, if a Sudra can not afford to pay the debt borrowed from a Brahmin, Sudra men had to work as Porters for the people of Brahma until he was able to pay its debts in full ".
(Manu Sariti 10:35)

More on that in the Jewish religion we can not find the enemy of justice concept, said:
"And if your God gave them up to you and you beat them then you have to destroy them once all. You can not make a deal with them."

I am now going to mention in passing a few examples of Islamic teaching with respect to the field. Qur'an instructs, and I quote:

"And when ye judge between man let you make decisions with justice (4:59)

"Be ye those who become upholders of justice and be witnesses for God, even though the case was in conflict with yourself or the father and the mother's relatives" (4:136)

"And let not the hostility of a people pushing you to act unjustly. Adilllah valid, it is Nearer to Piety". (5:9)

"And fight in God's way those who fight you, but you do not exceed the limits. Truly Allah loves not those who go beyond". (2:191)

"And if they incline towards peace then you tend to it precisely". (8:62)

Another example which I mentioned about the legitimacy of Islamic Teachings are related to revenge and forgiveness. If we compare the teachings of Islamic Teachings in this field with the Teachings of other religions, we are adrift attention to the Old Testament command as follows:

"The eyes will be replaced eye, tooth for tooth will be replaced, will hand for hand, foot for foot". (Ex. 221: 24)

Inevitably the emphasis on such revenge was mentioned not only made us wonder, but also make our hearts sad. But I mention these examples not to revile other religions but to show that if this is reviewed based on the principles of the Koran principles such drastic actions can also sometimes be justified. The Qur'an thus helps us in understanding the Teachings of other religions which contradict the spirit of tolerance and understanding, so this is a defining characteristic of Islam. According to the Koran once revenge is justified to meet the specific needs within a specific period. This is needed to encourage the Israelites to make them seize up from their rights after they become victims of Slavery for a long period and as they become natijah Coward nation and developed into a nation that suffered from an inferiority complex. It is clear that in such circumstances would be not appropriate to focus on forgiveness, for such things would make the Israelites were more sunk into the swamp and not giving them confidence and courage to break the fetters of Slavery. Therefore this doctrine true and correct to the situation at that time there, and it really teaching given by God the All-Wise.

On the other hand if we consider the New Testament, we find that the opposite of the previous books, namely the Old Testament, New Testament emphasizes the limits of forgiveness to the extent that the New Testament did away the Children of Israel from the right to Resentment their vent somehow. The real reason for this is the practice of previous teaching throughout long periods of time, the Israelites Oran has become heartless and savage, and this can be cured only by suspending for a certain period of impingement suspend their Resentment. That is why Jesus warns to them:

"You've heard the saying that: 'the eyes and teeth replaced replaced eye teeth', but this I say unto you, 'Do not resist an evil man, but he who slapped the right cheek Cheeks give him another one. And if anyone want to indict you, then take your clothes let him take your cloak also "(Matthew: 38:40)

Muslims believe that contrary to the doctrine as complementary-each fully authorized to apply, and each is suited to teaching Situations and conditions that predominate in his time each. Therefore, neither can claim as a universal doctrine or teaching that is eternal. This is fully justified because humans still progressing since the early stages of development and had not yet become a society that can be awarded a final law more universal. We believe that Islam is the law (Shari'a) the last and put forward a doctrine of Islam that is not affected by the place or time, and this fact enough described in the Teachings. The Qur'an says:

"Remember that retaliation against crime is a crime worth it, but Whoever forgives and therefore brings in improvements, and then the reward is there in God, for He does not like people do wrong". (42:47)

Islam thus combining the two best things from the Teachings of the previous, with affixes that forgiveness is vital that recommended, provided that the act was calculated to be led to an increase in morale and self-improvement in the guilty. If not then the punishment is deemed necessary, but must not exceed the threshold of evil done. Surely this extension fully consistent with human nature and worth of this than obliged as it lowered guidance fourteen Centuries ago.

Distinguishing features some other

Problem characteristics that Islamic Distinguished are a very large issue with coverage. And I had a chance to discuss only some aspects of which I have selected for my description. Time will not allow more than mention in passing only to certain aspects of my who did not want to miss.

1.) Muslims believe in God as the Creator of nature and displays only unity with the words of a very simple, comprehensive and interesting. Interest in a rustic or a scholar. Muslims call God as Being the Plenary, the source of all beauty and free from defects Segal. She Being the Most of Life incarnates Himself everywhere and who loves his creatures and hear their requests. None of the characteristics that have been suspended. Therefore, he communicates with human beings as well as he communicated before this and did not close the road to reach him directly.

2.) Muslims believe that there is no Contradiction between the words of God with his actions.
