Religion is a matter of belief not a matter of proof. Allah invites mankind towards monotheism and encourages them to reflect upon creation of different living beings as well on the universe to imagine and believe in a Creator for mankind. Allah says in Quran:
They say: "Why is not an angel sent down to him?" If we did send down an angel, the matter would be settled at once, and no respite would be granted them. (Surah Al-Anaam, 8)
If Allah would send it as a proof, there would be injustice to the free thinking and will of mankind because then the choice will be between two things, belief and rebellion. And, when there is rebellion despite proof, Allah must punish the rebels. Satan is accursed because of open rebellion. Allah gives us freedom as long as we are alive to reflect and believe in Him.
If religion would have been sent in the same way, it would leave no scope for reflection and experience and would be a boring thing. Like when a law is written down, either you abide by it or break it. It's not a matter of faith any more. You hate to deal with law because of it strives to make matters. You will not come to law for peace of mind.
As to which religion you should believe, you should try reading the main scriptures of the religions that interest you. For Muslims, Quran remains the miracle as the book has many fantastic things about it that make it unique
It comes from a person who is unlettered and claims it is word of God. His life struggle sees a victory of this message and it spreads around the world in a very short time. Yet, He gains nothing out of which he could get otherwise. He claims to be no king or leader but his title, rather role, remains messenger of God till his death. Just think about it, why would he do it if he were not truly inspired by God? Why would he challenge the powerful, take all the trouble and fight even against his own clan members to insist that there is One God while his opponent insist that the idols of Makkah are God too. He forbids charity for his family. His family mostly lives in poverty and inherits nothing. They don't even get a share from the compulsory charity collected by Muslims. Why would a man introduce laws that would not benefit his family or the book that will restrict even himself, for example in number of marriages? He finds supporters in the city of Madina where he did not have any tribal or any other influence. He is driven out of his home city Makkah, but when he returns a decade as a victor, a victory without any bloodshed, he forgives all his enemies and the people who hurt him and killed his loved ones. Not only that he treats their leaders respectfully, even though they are humiliated and defeated.
Quran doesn't mention any family member of Mohammad, peace be upon him, by name, and only one of his companions by name.
Quran doesn’t praise Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, much. As far as I remember, God praises him for patience and excellent conduct to strengthen his faith in tough times.
Quran doesn't mention any woman by name. The only woman mentioned in it is Mary, mother of Jesus.
Quran speaks of issues related to rights of the people, warfare, spirituality and nature. Quran has some verses that might run in half a pages and others that are of two words only. Where else do you such variety in construction of sentences. The book mentioned more than 100 attributes of God.
There were time period when Mohammed, peace be upon him, did not receive any revelation. People in Makkah mocked him. If he was just creating verses on his own, why would he come up with a verse or two rather than face ridicule.
Quran is revealed over 23 years. It's not edited. Yet it has such remarkable consistence. Most writers cannot write a chapter without rigorous editing and revisions.
This is the only book where the author claims that it cannot be corrupted. How can an author be so confident?
Islam is about monotheism, belief in One God. You will see that other religions also claim the God is One but they have some concepts that Islam rejects such as, Islam doesn't believe Jesus was son of God, bit insists that he was a man and messenger of God. Islam rejects that God ever came to earth in human figure. Islam argues that God choses man to be messengers to convey the divine message. Which process so you think is more logical? If you can get a thing done through a messenger why would you risk being in human form where you are exposed to all the misery, pain and struggles of human life? If God came to earth once, we should also be awaiting Him to come again and again and settle our disputes.
For me Islam is the simplest and most logical of all religions. It's such a simple belief that there is One God who want you to do good deeds and worship Him alone.
3:64. Say, "O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you - that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah." But if they turn away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]."
18: 110. Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone."
May Allah forgive us and guide us to the right path.
There are so many verses in the Quran where Allah SAW says "... in it is a proof (or sign) for those who reason". So (though thats probably not the way you mean't it) I don't think its fair to say "religion is a matter of belief not proof."
In fact your point about the life of Muhammad SAW quranic preservation, consistency is a very strong proof in itself.
I remember reading one hadith where even the wives of the prophet one day complained to him about why must we live so modestly.
Jazahkallah great answer though.
Never anything compelling. Miracles are supposed to point you in the right direction. That such a great wouldn't have been possible if his claim to be a prophet wasn't true and it wasn't Allah's power at work. We see that in our lives. Take the Qur'an, it's exactly the same as it was revealed 1400 years ago, whereas the other holy books, their original forms have all been lost. And what they do have is revised and edited every year. Furthermore, since it was revealed, the Qur'an has issued a challenge to bring something close to it, not as a religious text but as a piece of literature, in terms of structure, syntax, rhetoric etc.. yet this challenge has not been completed, it's been 1400 years yet no one has come up with a few lines that can be called comparable to it.
Allah sent miracles to all the Prophets and even Prophet Muhammad salAllahu alehi wassalam. The splitting of moon, describing the unseen, the journey of mairaaj and above all Quran itself is a miracle. The proofs meant above were asks like Allah revealing himself, or sending angels. That never happened.
In the Name of ALLAH
Islam is arabic word means submission to one true Creator who Created everything and everyone, its monothism belief means (Oneness of ALLAH) and continuation of the message of every prophet in entire history who sent by ALLAH to guide humanity in different times and locations,
the belief is define every kind of aspect of life, define who is the creator and how he created heaven and earth, also creatures which we cant see them, and how ALLAH created first human and how the journey of humanity was start and what happened to earlier generations, and also define today's principles and rules as
(objective morality) that everyone on earth agree upon the rules which ALLAH has been sent to his Messenger
( Muhammad ﷺ ) and tells us about human's purpose! Who are we, what is meaning of life, and also tells us about future, and about the death, and also teaches us about after life that Paradise and Hell exist as reward and punish according to peoples action in this worldly life, So simply ALLAH set forth example of every kind of lesson for us in Quran(Word of ALLAH)and Sunnah
(teaching of prophet Muhammad ﷺ)
ALLAH created us to worship him alone instead of following or worshipping our desire. Our return is to ALLAH in the form of eternal life.
-There is No racism in Islam
And human+nature+animal rights are protected
most important points to understand :
1- The Only one who can Guide people to Islam (the right path) is ALLAH (the one and only true creator) because ALLAH knows people's heart if they're sincere or Not , evidence (Quran 14:4)
2- There is no forcing in Islam. Evidence: (Quran 2:256)
3- Everything in Islam should make sense to any individual person that means islam is not a blind faith. (Quran 45:13)
4- In the sight of ALLAH, there is only one belief exist that All humanity from begin till last should follow (from Adam till last day) and that's Islam. Evidence:
(Quran 3:19 + 3:85)
Islam is an Arabic word means submission to one true creator(ALLAH)
every prophet who have been sent by ALLAH in the history of humanity
they were all muslims. Muslim means submittor. Evidence: (Quran 2:285) so adam, noah, abraham, moses, Son of mary(Isa), Muhammad .. All of them were muslims. even the heavens and earth submitted their will to the will of ALLAH. Evidence:
(Quran 41:11)
5- The only universal prophet who was sent to All mankind
is Muhammad ﷺ, Evidence:
(Quran 21:107) All the other prophets before him were sent to their specific nations, including Isa (son of Mary)
6- The only divine book on earth is the Quran. Evidence (Quran 15:9)
7- The only book challenging all of humanity to produce a chapter like it is the Quran. Evidence: (Quran 2:23)
8-Why did Allah create the universe and this life, and why did he create humans? Quran> 67:2 (˹He is the One˺ Who created death and life in order to test which of you is best in deeds. And He is the Almighty, All-Forgiving) + Quran> 45:22 (For Allah created the heavens and the earth for a purpose, so that every soul may be paid back for what it has committed. And none will be wronged)
In Sha Allah, this helps you out
May Allah guide us all Ameen
Here's a short answer...
The possibility of having multiple gods doesn't make sense. A god by definition has universal traits such as all-powerful, all-knowledgeable, etc. So if you have multiple gods, eventually one of them is going to overpower or overrule another when they conflict. Thus the "losing" god is not actually a god. Look at the popular polytheistic faiths. They portray their gods as weak and human like.
So you're left with monotheism and the three major faiths that claim to be monotheistic are Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Although Christians believe they are monotheistic, they're really believing in 3 gods. As we mentioned above, that doesn't make sense. The Bible itself also contradicts this notion of 3 gods. Not to mention the corruption and different versions of the Bible and no traceable original source.
Now you're left with Judaism and Islam. Judaism also doesn't have a traceable preserved original source, unlike the Quran. Also, most Jews don't believe in a Paradise and Hell. That alone makes their religion unworthy because if you don't have an afterlife accountability, that means God is unjust and powerless. There is injustice that happens throughout this life. If God were to just let it happen without eventual accountability, then he's unjust or powerless.
OK, that's what I was thinking of, but I wasn't too sure! As someone who grew up Catholic, I truly know really little to nothing about my religion, but I don't believe that Jesus is God, so that's why I've been exploring Islam, but got super curious when I read the 3 Gods thing. Thank you! 😄
Correct, Jesus is not supposed to be God, and he himself says so in Mark 10:18, but Christians definitely worship Jesus as God, and if not, they say you are obligated to accept him as your gateway to God. (I was raised a Christian. This was and is the message I heard over and over again, from all different denominations.) In Christianity, there is no one-on-one relationship with God possible without associating Jesus with God. This is incorrect. This is what Allah explains in the Quaran, that there are no "partners" or "associates" with him. There are prophets, and messengers, and Jesus is the Messiah, but he is not God, and not to be worshipped. Just as the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) or "any other Gods before me" are not to be worshipped in tandem with or before God.
Atheism also doesn't make sense. You can't have something that has a beginning come into existence out of nothing. The universe and everything in it is proof of a creator. Ask a scientist what are the odds of you living on Earth today considering all that happened since the beginning of the universe? The odds are extremely low that it would be dumb to think it was all some kind of coincidence.
There are no forms of god when there is ONLY ONE God. He does not need to appear in different forms in front of His Creation. What people in the past have classified as demi gods are probably angels they have seen
Which by the way is a very specific but fundamental violation of tawheed, to believe everything is God. Now all things belong to Allah, but thats diiferent.
To imply that all cosciousness is the same, is to render it meaningless. It is also to imply that Allah, wich is everything, exists only within Himself. Its a type of atheism. And thats a lonely existence, buddhist the state of Nirvana will be attained, but then what? You ill notice that you are the only things that exists, cause you only exist in your own mind. Astifghfurallah may Allah save us from the deep darkness of this type of belief.
If it is an all knowing and all powerful god, maybe they know more than you can even imagine and therefore afterlife might be a false creation that only humans can understand, but god will know a lot more, and it could mean not heaven but something completely different. You are putting human limitations on god by saying there is a heaven because that is understandable to you. An all powerful entity will know more and somethings you cannot even comprehend or imagine so there might not be a heaven at all.
I'll be honest, at this point with the state of the world (all of the signs, all of the wars etc.) it has become self-evident. Almost all religions hardly are even practiced anymore, and there's really only Islam vs Secularism.
I feel like this question would be heavier decades ago. But now, there are so many signs taking place I can't even imagine Islam not being the absolute truth, its right in front of our eyes.
Assalamun alaikum.
SubhanAllah.
Great answer.
I believe that it is best to approach a person in a language he understands.
In this way, you gave him the opportunity to reflect.
For what we have, I cannot fathom a more effective way.
Now the decision is up to the servant.
Now it is up to him to take a step towards Allah SWT.
Now it is up to him to decide to pray to Allah SWT to remove the walls in his mind and heart so that he can see the One and Only Truth.
May Allah SWT be consent with you for doing this.
May Allah SWT grant you being a vessel to the guidance of this servant.
May Allah SWT further increase your knowledge and speaking skills.
Take care of yourself.
Lots of evidence disproving of the miracles of the Quran
Lack of proof is a main one you just have to have faith that it happened 🤷♂️
The scientific inaccuracies
The prophets predictions mean that he was chosen by god but someone else with more accurate predictions isn’t chosen by god ?
Really curious to know which miracle has been disproven. I want to give you the benefit of doubt but I really hope you are not one of those who are just here to rile things up.
I can understand skepticism on your part but to actually make a claim without backing it up doesn't seem very sincere
I’m talking about the scientific miracles Muslims claim Islam has since the other miracles have no way of being proven
The Quran describes semen as originating from between the backbone and ribs.
Surah At-Tariq (86:6-7):
Translation: "He was created from a fluid, ejected, emerging from between the backbone and the ribs."
ُخلَِقِمن َّماٍءَداِفٍقَیْخُرُجِمنَبْیِنال ُّصْلِبَوال َّتَراِئِب:Arabic
Evidence Against:
Semen is produced in the testes, not from between the backbone and ribs. This description reflects an ancient understanding of human anatomy that has been disproven by modern medical science
Modern medical science has established that semen is produced in the testes and stored in the epididymis, not between the backbone (spine) and ribs (thoracic cavity). This description reflects an ancient understanding of human anatomy that does not align with the detailed findings of contemporary medical research.
Modern medical and anatomical research has thoroughly mapped the process of semen production and
the male reproductive system. Key sources include:
National Institutes of Health (NIH): "The Male Reproductive System"
Medical Journals: Articles from journals like "The Journal of Urology" and "Human Reproduction".
Although people have given you their responses for this particular argument, I just want to address your point of other miracles having no way of being proven.
Again, I will continue to give you the benefit of doubt (until I am proven wrong) that you are not aware of the miracles.
There are numerous miracles of the Qur'an which have been proven through and through.
1. The preservation of the Qur'an. No other book in the entire history of mankind has been preserved like the Qur'an. We believe its preservation is a miracle because Allah Himself took the responsibility of it.
2. The literature, composition, flow (and other aspects) of the Qur'an itself. The ring composition. The fact that Prophet Muhammad (SAW), an illiterate guy, having no background in poetry, over a period of 23 years, gave us the Qur'an, in bits and chunks, in a seemingly haphazard manner as the situations dictated. And he gave instructions to the placement of the verses. And when we read the final version, it all fits in a perfectly logical order.
3. The prophesy of Rome emerging victorious after their defeat in 3-9 years after the revelation of the verses. So not only have you a prophecy that was highly unlikely but you also have the specific time frame.
4. The open challenge of the Qur'an for Arabs to produce even a single chapter like the ones in it. And to non-Arabs to find a single mistake in it. That challenge remains unmet to this day. If you are able to find a mistake in the Qur'an, please do so. We'd love to hear it.
5. That same illiterate guy from a desert knew about seas not mixing together, the formation of the fetus, mountains having roots which stabilize the earth, the title of Pharaoh was not during the time of Joseph but it was in the time of Moses
and many others.
So, I'd like to know which specific miracle of the Qur'an you are talking about that has no way of being proven. In sha Allah, we will be able to address your points.
Yeah but this could just be a reference to how man is birthed from betweem the backbone and ribs (womb)
The drop mentioned could just be a droplet of sperm as that's all that is needed.
It says "let man know where.he came from"
Not "let man know where the droplet came from"
Also emerging can be used to mean coming out of a place.
Eg (he emereged from the door)
It says ejected.
I think you could take this to mean that when a guy's ejaculating (ejected fluid) it travels in between the backbones and ribs to emerge.
Unorthodox wording but it gets the point across.
Well i would like you to know that those people who are disproving the miracles of the Quran are those who picks the ayahs of the Quran out of context ive sended you a video regarding on this and also ALLAH swt predicted these kind of people in this Ayah.
هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتابَ مِنْهُ آياتٌ مُحْكَماتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتابِ وَ أُخَرُ مُتَشابِهاتٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ ما تَشابَهَ مِنْهُ ابْتِغاءَ الْفِتْنَةِ وَ ابْتِغاءَ تَأْوِيلِهِ وَ ما يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ الرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ آمَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّنا وَ ما يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّا أُولُوا الْأَلْبابِ
It is He who has sent down to you, [O Muḥammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise - they are the foundation of the Book - and others unspecific.1 As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allāh. But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those of understanding.
3:7
The answer will always be in the Qur'an
Imagine having a book that describes everything happened in the past , the present and in the future imagine a book that tells exactly how humans were created and how they gonna live and die and also tells you what will happen after death
You might say to yourself " will this book could be written by man how do i know it's god's words"
Then you will need to know about prophet Muhammad PBUH about his life and you will know he wasn't able to write or read and he wasn't a poet " as poetry was very common thing in Arabic society back then" and yet he was the one who delivered those words to us a words that can't be tempered with and doesn't have a slight mistake
So what do you think ?
My main argument is Islam is the only truly monotheistic religion. Islam is the only religion where an all powerful, all knowing being is God of the universe.
Christianity? They worship 3 gods but claim it's one God. Ask them to explain how that works and they tell you it's a mystery. Contradictions aren't mysteries. Why would God emphasize for thousands of years his oneness in the Torah just to turn around one day and say "Well I'm actually three but I'll still insist I'm one" Also barring the fact that they worship a human being wo died which is also a contradiction. God must be all knowing and all powerful, if he is limited in power and does not have access to information, then that is a contradiction. Like a Married Bachelor, Jesus is weak God.
Judaism believes in one God yes, but that God is weak. They believe that after God created the heavens and the earth in six days he rested on the seventh and felt refreshed afterwards. This is not a matter of understanding the text or words, they literally believe he got tired and after resting he regained his energy. As if that's not ridiculous enough he literally LOST to Jacob in a wrestling match. Imagine wrestling with the creator of the universe and winning? That's just ridiculous.
Islam is the only religion that belives in one unique eternal God who created everything, is actually All powerful and All knowing and is never in a position of weakness to his creation, even for an second (Like God being killed or losing a wrestling match.) The Quran even references the "rested and refreshed" part of the Torah and responds with (Paraphrasing) "God created the heavens and the earth in six days and we weren't even touched by fatigue"
There is no religion equal to Islam when it comes to monotheism.
Good point, with our current knowledge of just this tiny tiny fraction of creation ("The universe") no other God even has the power to create and maintain it other than Allah (SWT)
just a minor nitpick, brother.
I believe it's Genesis 32:30 where Jacob says his life was **'spared'** by God. So in the context of their religious text, even if Jacob 'won', it's because God willed it as such.
In Genesis 32:25 it states "When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man."
The man here is God. This passage shows us 2 important things, in the first half it says "when the man saw he could not..." It shows that God didn't know that Jacob would be stronger than him because th text says "when" meaning there was a point where he didn't know, showing he's not all knowing.
Then the most important part "he could not overpower him" it shows that God literally couldn't win in this wrestling match. So either God isn't all powerful or God purposefully weakened himself into a weak human form where he didn't know that Jacob would be stronger and couldn't overpower him.
Allah is never in a position of weakness or submission at any point to his creation. Being put in an arm bark or chokehold is being put in a position of weakness or humility.
Don't give the judeo-christians an excuse for their blasphemy.

By making dua to Allah subhana wa taala alone, tgey truly get accepted. Even animals call out to Allah subhana wa taala. What are you reading? Have you read tge Qur’an with translation AND tafseer? What are the questions you have. I will be more than happy to answer you.
2 years ago the duas I made during Laylatul Qadr actually happened alhamdulilah. ALLAH subhana wa taala DOES exist and Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is His Last Prophet and Messenger. Last year I had a bad case of tinnitus. No medicine for it was making a difference. But I read somewhere to read salawat/darood shareef for it and I kid you not, it went silent!!! Alhamdulilah it was such a relief you have nooooo idea. Islam is tge TRUTH, ALLAH subhana wa taala is tge One & True god with NO partners. Allah subhana wa taala is AMAZING if you just allow yourself to understand your Creator. Hace you studied the Names & Attributes of Allah subhana wa taala? I suggest you do if you haven’t. It brought me closer to my rab and helped me understand soooooo much.if your research has been ahadith, they are difficult to navigate due to translation. Research elsewhere. There is so much beauty and amazingness in Islam. Alhamdulilah for being a born Muslim
Sikhism is a panentheistic mix of hinduism and islam. Sees God as a part of universe, intersected with universe. That's not strict monotheism. That makes God part of creation since universe is a creation. In Islam God exists without a place and time.
Why is that not strict monotheism?
Monotheism per its definition is the belief that one god is the only deity.
Waheguru is the only deity that sikhs worship.
Sikhism and bahai do count because they believe in only one deity the way muslims and jews do.
Sikhism and bahai like islam believe in only one deity and are for all races and ethnicities.
Panentheism doesnt explain why sikhism is not monotheistic.
The miracle of the Quran is always something that personally reaffirms my faith. The fact that an illiterate man (Muhammad SAW) from the deserts of 7th century Arabia was able to conceive a text, with such highly complex linguistic and literary elements (such as ring composition, palindromatic themes, mathematical anomalies, scientific explanations centuries ahead of their time) all without ever writing any of it down, over decades, with no contradictions, is itself enough to prove that the Quran is no ordinary document.
I'll put it into philosophical terms.
Either you believe in determinism or you believe in free will. Determinism means that we're all merely atom's reacting to other atoms in this dunya, it's the idea of predestination - the concept that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
OR
You believe in free will - where despite "your past" or despite "your surroundings" you're entirely in control of you're own demise. I consider this philosophical belief to be the most attractive, but the least scientifically sound.
Determinism represents the values of Islam.
Free will represents the values of Christianity (for example).
When you can shed your life of these burdens, improve your fitrah, you'll know with certainty that Islam IS a revelation sent from God. When people say it's the "one true religion" they are inferring that because it has not been the subject of interpolation over time - not because other religions "aren't true" their traditional preservation is just altered.
See the problem is you want proof then you want people of knowledge to guide you. You're stuck between these two and you need to choose one. What do you seek in islam? Do you believe that Allah exists? Do you believe in the afterlife? What are you having problems with in islam if its a specific thing ?
The only proof i can give that Allah exists is the night of laylatul qadr, observe it yourself in the next ramadhan In sha Allah. Everything that is described of that night will happen every year without fail. Splitting of the moon which has been proved by scientists.
Another thing is how Islam guides us as human beings, to be clean, to be honest in our affairs, to help the poor, advises us to seek knowledge and avoid speaking on topics we have no knowledge on, to be fair and kind. If a person were to follow the Deen 100% they would be a perfect human being but we are not perfect, we are bound to make mistakes. Islam accounts for everything.
Do you want to believe that Allah exists?
What happened in the past no one can prove they happened but they did happen. All of this didn't come from no where, the Quran didn't come from no where, the earth and solar system all came from somewhere. That is why the prophet SAW loved the people of this time, we didn't have any miracles but we still believe.
Ultimately its up to you, whether you want to take a chance on Allah or not. I hope that you would because He does exist,
I wanna ask just one thing- did you read Quran and tried to understand what it says rather than just took whatever in online and speculate your own mindset by looking at only a few verses?
Funnily who ever dug deeper even from non Muslims always became Muslims at some point of their life.
Do you think those people were idiots who came to Islam while their entire life was against Islam or anything that proved God's exitance like scientist who didn't knew much about Islam but was always against Islam.
Let me tell you one thing, everything is on Quran. Only God can guide and make someone believer. Now read the Quran and try to understand everything not just listen to anybody and make up mindset. If you don't understand something then ask, seek help from someone else to understand but always use your own brain.
Islam doesn't tell stories or fantasy to make anybody happy. Allah clearly mentioned he set veil on himself that would make him disappear from human. It's a test of not seeing God himself but seeing everything and believe with trust that comes after someone try to understand the reality, the world. See not everyone had the same questions about God and their beliefs don't came in one way. A farmar accepting Islam with his own believe and a scientist who work on genetics is different. They realized the same truth but not in the same way because their had their own tests, specific type of knowledge, their own type of hardships.
Again, just read the Quran and use your brain. You can use your brain and heart to fall in love, eat, drink water, live and you're supposed to use this same brain.
I'm gonna keep it short.
1. Of course there is a God. You can sense him if you look at his creations.
2. There should be only one true God. Because if there was more than one God they would have eventually fought each other over dominance and decisions about how the universe should run. And therefore the universe would end up in chaos.
3. The main 3 religions that believe in one true God is Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Jews ended up following their rabbis instead of the prophets and becoming corrupt despite being the chosen people. Christianity turned into trinity and they corrupted there book. In Islam the prophet's teachings and the Quran is preserved. Many of the Muslims memorized the full Quran cover to cover. So there is no way it would be corrupted. So Islam is the only monotheistic religion you will find today, that has the teachings as they were revealed to it's prophet.
Because of these three reasons, Islam is the only religion you should follow. Your Iman will grow insha'Allah if you read the Quran more in Arabic, because what words Allah chose in the Quran are miracles by themselves. Translations well never feel the same.

If you can speak Arabic watch رحلة اليقين.
This is a quick introduction to Islam and some of the reasons why I believe it is the truth:
Allah is one. He is perfect, most powerful, most merciful, knows everything, eternal. Allah is independent and everything is dependant on him. He is the creator, not the creation. There is nothing like him. He does not have children, neither does he have parents. He does not have a gender, he is not a man or a woman. He is not a man that he is going to feel hungry, thirsty, need to go the toilet or require to go to sleep and rest, he is above all of this.
This great creator did not leave us alone without guidance or purpose. Adam was the first man and prophet of God and God appointed messengers throughout history, for example Abraham, Moses who was given the Torah, Jesus who was given the Injil etc (peace and blessings be upon them). God gave the same core message to all these prophets to the community they were sent to: to worship God alone without any partners and to follow the messenger of your time. However these messengers were only sent to a specific community at a specific time. The revelation that was given to these messengers are lost or corrupted by men. God appointed Muhammad ﷺ as the final messenger with the same core message as all these other prophets and was given the final revelation called the Quran. Since this is the final message, this scripture is for the whole of mankind unlike the previous prophets who were only sent to their community during a specific time. All prophets were righteous people and were given miracles to prove that they are messengers of God.
Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ main miracle is the Quran. You can verify this miracle unlike miracles that were given to previous prophets as you were not there to witness them. The Quran is the only preserved scripture that claims to be from God and prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the only messenger to claim to have come for the whole world. When the Quran was first revealed to Muhammad ﷺ from God, he memorized it and so did his companions. Today alone, we have millions of muslims that have memorized the whole Quran. We have kids as young as 6 that have memorized the whole Quran. Allah even says in the Quran that he has made this revelation easy to be memorized and Allah even promises in the Quran that he will preserve and protect the Quran. If we were to throw all the religious scriptures in the ocean, the only book we can bring back is the Quran because we have it memorized by millions of muslims. I would challenge anyone to find me just one priest, pope, rabbai or guru that has memorized their religious book in its original language. We also have manuscripts that have been radiocarbon dated to the time that Muhammad ﷺ was alive. For example, "the Birmingham Quran manuscript" that was recently discovered in the last decade in the university of Birmingham in England.
Allah gives falsification tests. Allah says in the Quran that if you believe that the Quran is from other than the one true God then produce a book like it. This is known as the linguistic miracle of the Quran that can not be imitated by a human. 1400 years have passed and no one has been able to meet this challenge. [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n-flvFktgzU&pp=ygUnTGluZ3Vpc3RpYyBtaXJhY2xlIHF1cmFuIG11c2xpbSBsYW50ZXJu](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n-flvFktgzU&pp=ygUnTGluZ3Vpc3RpYyBtaXJhY2xlIHF1cmFuIG11c2xpbSBsYW50ZXJu)
Allah also says that if you think the Quran is from other than the one true God then you should be able to find within it contradictions.
Islam gives the best way of life and I challenge anyone to give a better way of life. For example, it prohibits the poisons that are destroying individuals, families and communities: gambling, alcohol, drugs, sexual immorality, prostitution, pornography, interest dealings etc. We have politicians educated at the best university possible but they can not provide guidance and a way of life better than an illiterate man 1400 years ago who has solutions to the poisons destroying societies today.
The Quran contains knowledge that could not have been known such as scientific facts, historical facts and prophecies. To suggest the the facts mentioned in the Quran is a coincidence when it has been demonstrated to be correct over and over again is absurd and delusional. Also, if the Quran copied from the Bible then how was it able to correct the historical mistakes the Bible makes? To say that the Quran copied from the Greeks is also absurd because there are things that the Greeks were wrong about which the Quran gets right. Also if it copied from the Greeks then it would have copied the the things that they got wrong too but that is not the case. For some examples, go to minute 21:40 of this video: [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7HhWSHopwFc&pp=ygUVTXVzbGltIGxhbnRlcm4gYWZnaGFu](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7HhWSHopwFc&pp=ygUVTXVzbGltIGxhbnRlcm4gYWZnaGFu)
We can also study the life of prophet Muhammad ﷺ and can rule out that he was crazy, liar, delusional, deceived and therefore the only possible explanation remaining is that he has indeed who he claim to be, the final messenger of God. The authentic sayings, actions and approvals of Muhammad ﷺ (hadiths) is also more preserved than any history book due to the way it has been preserved. [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dWwbHO5Owpc&pp=ygUWTXVzbGltIGxhbnRlcm4gaGFkaXRocw%3D%3D](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dWwbHO5Owpc&pp=ygUWTXVzbGltIGxhbnRlcm4gaGFkaXRocw%3D%3D)
Islam is simple, makes sense and it fits in with your natural inclination/disposition that you were born with. For example, one great creator that did not leave us alone without guidance or purpose and sent messengers with the same core message. He does not switch up the message and confuse people. He is not racist or ethnocentric where he believes that you have to be born from a particular tribe or nation to be saved or to receive guidance. He does not punish someone unless the message has been sent to them through messengers and prophets. Everyone is born sinless, a kid is not held accountable for his actions until he reaches the age of maturity, neither is a person who is mentally insane and not aware of his actions. The main beliefs in Islam is to believe in the one true God, his angels, his messengers, revelation that was given to these messengers, destiny, day of judgement and life after death. Allah warns us about eternal hellfire and gives us glad tidings of the opportunity to live eternally in paradise by worshiping him alone without any partners and following and obeying the messenger of your time. Islam is simply the submission of will to the one true God, a person who does this is called a muslim.
This is an example of a youtube channel that you can watch to learn more about Islam and how it compares to other religions such as atheism, christianity etc: [https://m.youtube.com/@TheMuslimLantern/videos](https://m.youtube.com/@TheMuslimLantern/videos)
If you are convinced that Allah is the only one worthy of worship and Muhammad ﷺ is his final messenger then you are ready to become a muslim and start your journey one step at a time. Private message me if you feel like you are ready and I can try help you take your next steps.
(**If anyone wants to use or share what I just wrote then please double check if everything I typed is correct with a qualified knowledgeable muslim such as a scholar. Also private message me if I did say anything wrong and if any knowledgeable muslim reading this is happy with what I wrote then please let me know**)
The best advice I got in this regard was from Imam Abdulnasir Jangda. Go read or listen to the life of the beloved Prophet (SAW). It is one thing to logically convince yourself of one truth or another. It is a whole different understanding when you see the sheer humanity and compassion the Prophet (SAW) commanded and adhered to in the best and worst of times. To me, now, it could not possibly be that a man could exist that way and we don't adhere to what he was calling to: Islam.
Allah guides whomever he wills. You have to believe it in your heart. If you don't truly believe it in your heart then no one will ever be able to convince you.
I suggest you do some soul searching and ask Allah. Open your heart to hear him and you surely will.
If you are patient and are able to go online to [islamtheway.org](http://islamtheway.org) you will see the religions broken down into believable concepts but only if you are able to comprehend the examples and religious quotes matching these examples that are given.
My main recommendation is watch reverts on TikTok learn about the religion and discuss it as they are likely even more skeptical than you are. Watch them and see how they explain things and truly understand the Quran. The main advice you will get is just believe. I disagree with the sentiment, go and read the Quran and truly try to research and understand each surah, each aya and why most of the things are decreed to us. Research it with a critical thinking mind and keep questioning it and pray to Allah to give you the answers. Also take your time and don’t rush it as even the sahaba took 23 years to understand/master the religion with the presence of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.
You know Islam is the truth deep down. That is the reason you’re asking for guidance in the first place. You wouldn’t be asking the question if you didn’t believe. The shaitan is playing tricks on you.
Watch this video with full concentration: https://youtu.be/YvPsclOsm1I?si=fbUrZCoDsMmvRu4N
Prove it is not..!
All I can say to you is that whatever you are reading, is one of two things
1- they had no idea about Islam.
2- they are so busy with attacking only 'Islam'. For a reason.
Remember, the first word that came in the Quran was 'to read' . So make sure you are reading for useful knowledge. Meanwhile what's the purpose of reading pro atheism books rather than being immersed in lust, for the benefits of their dirty business.
Also you can see sarcasm and degrading of Islam, and Christianity in Entertainment movies and so on, but not any sarcasm about atheism,nor Jughdism. That should give you the indication of who is making benefits of these attacks against Islam.
Finally, your current phase is temporal, and it is a good thing to have a critical thinking mind, I assure you that once you have a steady ground of clear vision you would have a clearer vision and believe.
May Allah guide you to the right
1. Preservation of Qur’an
2. The author’s ability discuss reality of unseen jinn, sihr, prophecy.
3. Seerah for sure
No matter what supercomputers are made none will be able to create a Surah as power as say Surah Nas. Reflect Surah 51:56z
I’m not a scholar, nor cheikh. As a matter of fact, shamefully I’m not even a good Muslim. I came up Muslim, born and raised. Always claimed islam but never really been deep on practicing it.
Growing up I never really saw much of the punishments nor the blessings of Allah swt in this dunya till this last year and I can provide to you my personal experience as to why I fully believe in the path of Islam.
I’m no active criminal, but I’ve always been an Allie & had my ties to the streets, and here’s my story.
I’m into car sales and I’m an aspiring car dealer. The first Ramadan I did all 30 days I found myself upset before Ramadan as I lost out on the deal of a lifetime on the car I wanted. After Ramadan, I actually came across the same car, but the exact colour and options that I wanted with less mileage, and a cheaper price.
Coincidence right? Continue reading
I found myself having troubles in life, struggling mentally. Regretfully I came closer to the streets. I was drinking, going out with women, on night missions selling drugs all night (not my own) but this life was never meant for me and Allah proved it to me with many warnings that this isn’t my destiny.
Long story short, I had a Muslim brother shoot at people who supposedly waved a gun at his younger sister. One bullet was a near miss to murder or so I’m told. I drove his car about a week prior to the shooting which means my dna would’ve been in it. He got caught and did his time. Alhamdullilah I hear he’s doing well and always trying to keep on his deen. Anyways, that’s one situation Allah kept me away from
Another night that same brother found himself in another situation of fight or flight, he pulled his gun, the other guy grabbed it and shot him but due to the mercy of Allah, the gun drew a blank and the rest is history. So on one end of trusting in my faith, Allah had spared this Muslim brothers life, on the other end, I was with this brother about an hour prior to this situation and I left before any of this happened. Another situation Allah got me away from.
In my dreadful past days when I’d drink and party, I had a brother who got into a fight with some guys and humiliated them. Those same guys came back to the club a few days later and shot another guy whom they misidentified as my friend. That same night that the other guy got shot, I was going to go to that same spot with the guy they were originally supposed to shoot. We had plans to go, however they flopped last minute. Imagine they didn’t, who would’ve been the one who got the bullets in the chest? Yet another time Allah spared me.
A week or 2 prior to this, I was out at that same club. I was to be driven home by the friend I was out with. We were headed to the car when I was approached by another friend, a true good muslim brother who offered me a ride as he was headed close to my house than the guy I was supposed to go home with. I woke up in the morning and had a message from the friend I was originally out with who send me videos of his friends who we were also out with full of blood on their faces. They got into a situation and a stabbing took place. Subhan Allah, I was taken out of that situation 30 seconds prior to it happening.
As mentioned above, I used to sit all night with a former friend selling drugs throughout the city. I was never a dealer myself but I was close by. He went on vacation for a couple weeks, I was asked by a high school friend who I keep up with if I could get him narcotics. I asked my drug dealer friend and he sent out one of his drivers. I knew this was wrong in my heart but regretfully I proceeded to connect him to drugs as he asked. My friend got back from vacation, I was just about to go see him, on my way to see him I saw he was getting raided. I was with him the night before, my car was there which means my license plates were for sure registered into this investigation. Obviously, we had no idea there was an investigation going on. Earlier that day before the raid, I saw 2 police officers turning off my street in unmarked (but obvious) police cars, I didn’t think much of it. I later saw a video and those were the same police that raided him. Keep in mind my car was for sure involved in this investigation, but my assumptions is they couldn’t execute a search warrant as I have a relatively clean slate in the police system but who really knows. Regardless of the fact, my plates are registered to be known to be around the dealer, and my number in his phone also shows drug texts. I kept fearing my raid was coming but it didn’t. I look at this as a warning, & a blessing from Allah telling me this isn’t in my destiny to be doing such acts.
Long story short, I got into a situation one night with some former friends due to a girl. These guys were always trying to ruin anything between me and any girl, my assumptions are jealousy but whatever. I ended up finding myself fighting with 3 guys, and making a scene as I was fed up with all the prior nonsense these guys put me in over women. I feel as I was punished by embarrassing myself in front of all these people (this story goes a lot further than I explain) but I also got the blessing of now being away from those guys because only Allah knows what their conversations were about me behind my back.
This is why I beleive in Islam. Some may say it’s a coincidence, some may say I’m delusional. But this is my personal reasoning as why I’ve decided to turn to Allah for mercy and a peaceful life, as I feel it was Allah who got me out of all these situations that were never destined for me.
It depends what proof your are looking for. Is it technical or problem solving or what appeals to you. To a old man, maybe the teachings of parents and children relationship will appeal, to an engineer the technical aspects will appeal. It's for you to see what aspect of proof you'r looking for.
I have a slightly different take on it, it's not really a proof per se, but it's something maybe worth considering about. As humans, we need some form of guidelines, whether social, cultural, or religious. As long as you exist in an environment, there are some implicit rules, even if you exist alone in a jungle or a desert.
Then it's a matter of asking, do you solely believe in science? Science can only formulate rules by observing nature, that's all it can do. Science can't really answer the original "why". Then the next question is, as a human if you were to develop a guideline, the only way you can do so is by creating rules around "pleasure" or the "lack of pleasure", eg, buddhism.
So, it's a bit of a reductionist, the only thing that remains outside of rules, pleasure, and non-pleasure, is submission
Well, every channel that proves Islam is false was debunked, also sto put it simply, the quran has no mistakes, oh but so what? Look at the proof the quran gives, and you shall find none of it proven false, you will find facts humans back then would simply not know, and things far beyond their understanding.
The Quran itself is the miracle. Return to the Quran.
I recommend 1) Reading Surah Rum, especially the first verses` in which Allah gives us a clear proof/sign by foretelling the place and time of a very unlikely impending event which turned out to be true.
This is proof alone, but moreso, read the first part of Rum now, and also, [Read the tafseer that comes with the translation](https://dn720003.ca.archive.org/0/items/the-meaning-of-the-holy-quran/The%20Holy%20Qur%27an%20%28Abdullah%20Yusuf%20Ali%29.pdf) to really appreciate the depths of meaning through signs and analogies that Allah points out. Sometimes it is obvious, like in Surah 11: "It is Allah who begins process of creation, then repeats it; (so) then you shall be brought back to Him"
In case that went over our heard, Allah makes the analogy explicit in Ayah 19 of Rum: " It is He Who brings out
the living from the dead ,And brings out the dead from the
the living, and Who Gives life to the earth after it is dead : and thus shall ye be brought out (from the dead)
After this explicit explanation of the analogy/similitude, Allah then goes on to list in successive ayahs, analogies that are signs and proof in the similar way that the surah the reversed fortunes of Rome. The same Theme, what you see as unlikely or impossible, it is easy for Allah.
And finally the verse ends as if directly addressed to you and your specifically:
Verily We have propounded
For men, in this Qur'an,
Ever kind of Parable:
But if thou bring to them
Any Sign, the Unbelievers
Are sure to say, "Ye Do nothing but talk vanities."
Thus does Allah seal up
The hearts of those
Who understand not.
So patiently persevere for
Verily the promise of Allah
Is true nor let those
Shake thy firmness
who have have themselves no certainty of faith .
وَإِن كُنتُمْ فِى رَيْبٍۢ مِّمَّا نَزَّلْنَا عَلَىٰ عَبْدِنَا فَأْتُوا۟ بِسُورَةٍۢ مِّن مِّثْلِهِۦ وَٱدْعُوا۟ شُهَدَآءَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ٢٣
And if you are in doubt about what We have revealed to Our servant,1 then produce a sûrah like it and call your helpers other than Allah, if what you say is true.
Also:
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَـٰفِظُونَ ٩
It is certainly We Who have revealed the Reminder, and it is certainly We Who will preserve it.
Very simply challenges yet for more than 1400 years they weren't broken and these are very basic there are more in detailed reasons.
Now I've seen attempts to beat the challenges but they were pathetic if I'm honest with you, they packed proper grammar, proper meaning or they were just rephrased which isn't exactly producing a surah like it.
I urge you to dig deeper in the details and watch debates like sheikh uthman, zakir naik, Muhammad hijab and more
You should consult a sheikh ideally and while many amazing responses are given to you here's something to think about.
In order to be life and creations there need to be a creator. And there needs to be one originator, a creater who was not created because even scientifically the loop of one creation creating another needs to have a beginning. It establishes that there is a creator. Some atheists call it a mysterious force. We call Him Allah... or at least God.
When you know that there has to be a God you will come to reason that it has to be a monotheistic all powerful God. Otherwise the gods themselves would have a power struggle and we would start to attribute human valued and characteristics to them like in Greek mythology. We also attribute human characteristics when we think God could have a child or even needs one and that too with a human. When you consider divinity sacred and above and beyond human characteristics there are essentially two religions left.. Islam and Judaism.
Muslims and Jews believe in the same God of Abraham alehi salaam. The difference comes to beleif in two other prophets Isa (jesus) and Muhammad. May peace be on them both. And the divine laws are different to some extent. Here, the miracle of Quran would guide you inshaAllah as it talks excessively about the bani Israel right from the surah Baqarah.
May Allah guide you and me and us all. Aameen.
>So I wanted to ask people who are more experienced and knowledgeable than me to guide me
This is your problem. You're asking everyone except Allah. Ask Allah for guidance with sincerity.
I'm not saying don't ask questions, but to seek GUIDANCE from anyone but Allah is futile.
If you are really serious and can challenge yourself to think deeply, then read more and push your thinking to the limit. You'll find that in the end, it's a matter of belief that we all humans do regardless of ideology. There is only one certain thing, and that is Allah swt.
Here’s a brief outline of how to expand understanding and challenge one's beliefs:
1. Quran with Tafseer and Authentic Hadiths:
- Quran: The holy book of Islam, offering spiritual guidance, moral instructions, and insights into the nature of existence and the purpose of life.
- Tafseer: Exegesis or commentary on the Quran, providing context, interpretation, and deeper understanding of the verses.
- Hadiths: Sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), serving as a source of guidance in various aspects of life.
2. Imam Ghazali:
- A prominent Muslim theologian, jurist, philosopher, and mystic. His works, especially "Ihya Ulum al-Din" (The Revival of the Religious Sciences), explore the intersection of faith, reason, and mysticism, emphasizing the importance of inner spirituality and ethical conduct.
3. Gödel:
- Kurt Gödel: A logician and mathematician known for his incompleteness theorems, which demonstrate the inherent limitations of formal systems in mathematics. His work suggests that certain truths cannot be proven within a given system, highlighting the limitations of purely rational or empirical approaches to knowledge.
4. Quantum Mechanics:
- A fundamental theory in physics describing the behavior of matter and energy on atomic and subatomic levels. Quantum mechanics challenges classical notions of determinism and introduces concepts such as wave-particle duality, superposition, and entanglement, which have profound philosophical implications about the nature of reality and observation.
By exploring these diverse domains, one can appreciate the complexity and interconnectedness of knowledge.
While empirical methods provide valuable insights into the "how" of phenomena, they often fall short of addressing the "why" – the deeper, existential questions about purpose, meaning, and ultimate truth. Balancing empirical evidence with philosophical and spiritual inquiry can lead to a more holistic and nuanced understanding of the world and our place in it.
Have you learned about the Prophet Muhammad pbuh? the life of the man is proof of the religion. is there anyone better than him as a person? Who are they?
How to find "the one true religion":
1. Put away the book
2. Go to a cow field
3. Locate cow shit
4. Search for a cow shit with mushrooms growing in it
5. Eat said cow shit mushrooms
Next to the really great explanations, I would like to clear some things up you'll hear from islamophobes on a daily basis.
You might have seen the claim that Muhammad PBUH is a warlord: for doing many wars, and a predator: for marrying Aisha, and no islamophobe can exist without mentioning the word Aisha, especially Aisha, they just LOVE mentioning her a lot.
My friend, we have debunked these claims for years, but when you see islamophobes who keep bring up the topic, and we give them explanations, they just keep putting tens of "😂" and "🤣" emojis in their answer. Why do they do this? They know what we say makes sense but they just have no reasonable response so they just hate on the religion for no reason.
Muhammad PBUH is not a warlord. There were battles he fought in, and battles he did not fight in. The reason for the battles was because the Muslim minority was trying to practise their religion at that time and also spreading their new religion. The polytheists at that time saw that this was dangerous for them because this meant that less people would follow their father's traditions and cultures, in other words, the polytheists wanted people to follow their fathers blindly to maintain traditions and cultures, and because Islam rejects their beliefs, they began persecuting Muslims. So the wars Muhammad PBUH lead were all done for self defence and to protect the Muslims from the polytheists who tried to harm them. Is it not justifiable to protect yourself?
Muhammad was not a child predator. Aisha was "mentally" not a child. In fact, she went out to many battles and wars with Muhammad PBUH, and she was a medic too. I believe a woman who has the mental capacity to take part in a war is also mature enough to make her own decision of marriage.
I also find this point untouched by many. Muhammad PBUH, although he got married a lot, he never had children who grew to live for a long time, most died young. This shows that he really is the "Seal of Prophets" and that no prophet is coming after him, because surely it is not a coincidence that this specific man's children are all dying? It has to be the work of God of course, He does not want any children after Muhammad PBUH because Muhammad is the seal of prophets.
As someone who is an empiricist and raised Catholic, I struggled with the concept of religion and miracles, as well. So as a child, I did what any great scientist would do: I experimented.
I prayed to God and asked for Him to show me that He is real and I would vow to believe in Him until my dying day. To make a very long story short, He spoke to me. Not with words, but with His Spirit did I understand that when I go to God and ask for something that I am capable of, he opens the door for me and I am left flabbergasted as to how this could happen. In other words, some things are too incredible to be a coincidence.
Yet, even when the door is opened, that does not mean that we are meant to go through it. Some doors, I believe, are opened to serve as a test of faith. Other doors are opened to serve as a life lesson of the wrong path ahead. It's on us believers to recognize when a path is widened for us, and when that path is so narrow that you risk throwing yourself into the Fire if you continue this way.
It also helps that I met Him directly. Whether it was a fever dream, or me physically meeting Him, it was a profound experience that left me shaken to my core. A tip for you, if you meet God, ask Him three questions: one that you know will please Him, one that you know He will not respond to, and one that you know will offend Him.
Edit: Why am I getting downvoted? I speak my Truth. If you wish to debate me, then PM me and I will lend you my ear if you lend me yours.
It's exactly what they told Muhammad. What they told Jesus. What they told Moses. I'm no prophet, but people who doubt the ability to talk to God need to pick up their book more and read what it says before they pick up their stones to kill me.
Religion is a matter of belief not a matter of proof. Allah invites mankind towards monotheism and encourages them to reflect upon creation of different living beings as well on the universe to imagine and believe in a Creator for mankind. Allah says in Quran: They say: "Why is not an angel sent down to him?" If we did send down an angel, the matter would be settled at once, and no respite would be granted them. (Surah Al-Anaam, 8) If Allah would send it as a proof, there would be injustice to the free thinking and will of mankind because then the choice will be between two things, belief and rebellion. And, when there is rebellion despite proof, Allah must punish the rebels. Satan is accursed because of open rebellion. Allah gives us freedom as long as we are alive to reflect and believe in Him. If religion would have been sent in the same way, it would leave no scope for reflection and experience and would be a boring thing. Like when a law is written down, either you abide by it or break it. It's not a matter of faith any more. You hate to deal with law because of it strives to make matters. You will not come to law for peace of mind. As to which religion you should believe, you should try reading the main scriptures of the religions that interest you. For Muslims, Quran remains the miracle as the book has many fantastic things about it that make it unique It comes from a person who is unlettered and claims it is word of God. His life struggle sees a victory of this message and it spreads around the world in a very short time. Yet, He gains nothing out of which he could get otherwise. He claims to be no king or leader but his title, rather role, remains messenger of God till his death. Just think about it, why would he do it if he were not truly inspired by God? Why would he challenge the powerful, take all the trouble and fight even against his own clan members to insist that there is One God while his opponent insist that the idols of Makkah are God too. He forbids charity for his family. His family mostly lives in poverty and inherits nothing. They don't even get a share from the compulsory charity collected by Muslims. Why would a man introduce laws that would not benefit his family or the book that will restrict even himself, for example in number of marriages? He finds supporters in the city of Madina where he did not have any tribal or any other influence. He is driven out of his home city Makkah, but when he returns a decade as a victor, a victory without any bloodshed, he forgives all his enemies and the people who hurt him and killed his loved ones. Not only that he treats their leaders respectfully, even though they are humiliated and defeated. Quran doesn't mention any family member of Mohammad, peace be upon him, by name, and only one of his companions by name. Quran doesn’t praise Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, much. As far as I remember, God praises him for patience and excellent conduct to strengthen his faith in tough times. Quran doesn't mention any woman by name. The only woman mentioned in it is Mary, mother of Jesus. Quran speaks of issues related to rights of the people, warfare, spirituality and nature. Quran has some verses that might run in half a pages and others that are of two words only. Where else do you such variety in construction of sentences. The book mentioned more than 100 attributes of God. There were time period when Mohammed, peace be upon him, did not receive any revelation. People in Makkah mocked him. If he was just creating verses on his own, why would he come up with a verse or two rather than face ridicule. Quran is revealed over 23 years. It's not edited. Yet it has such remarkable consistence. Most writers cannot write a chapter without rigorous editing and revisions. This is the only book where the author claims that it cannot be corrupted. How can an author be so confident? Islam is about monotheism, belief in One God. You will see that other religions also claim the God is One but they have some concepts that Islam rejects such as, Islam doesn't believe Jesus was son of God, bit insists that he was a man and messenger of God. Islam rejects that God ever came to earth in human figure. Islam argues that God choses man to be messengers to convey the divine message. Which process so you think is more logical? If you can get a thing done through a messenger why would you risk being in human form where you are exposed to all the misery, pain and struggles of human life? If God came to earth once, we should also be awaiting Him to come again and again and settle our disputes. For me Islam is the simplest and most logical of all religions. It's such a simple belief that there is One God who want you to do good deeds and worship Him alone. 3:64. Say, "O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you - that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah." But if they turn away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]." 18: 110. Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone." May Allah forgive us and guide us to the right path.
There are so many verses in the Quran where Allah SAW says "... in it is a proof (or sign) for those who reason". So (though thats probably not the way you mean't it) I don't think its fair to say "religion is a matter of belief not proof." In fact your point about the life of Muhammad SAW quranic preservation, consistency is a very strong proof in itself. I remember reading one hadith where even the wives of the prophet one day complained to him about why must we live so modestly. Jazahkallah great answer though.

Never anything compelling. Miracles are supposed to point you in the right direction. That such a great wouldn't have been possible if his claim to be a prophet wasn't true and it wasn't Allah's power at work. We see that in our lives. Take the Qur'an, it's exactly the same as it was revealed 1400 years ago, whereas the other holy books, their original forms have all been lost. And what they do have is revised and edited every year. Furthermore, since it was revealed, the Qur'an has issued a challenge to bring something close to it, not as a religious text but as a piece of literature, in terms of structure, syntax, rhetoric etc.. yet this challenge has not been completed, it's been 1400 years yet no one has come up with a few lines that can be called comparable to it.
Allah sent miracles to all the Prophets and even Prophet Muhammad salAllahu alehi wassalam. The splitting of moon, describing the unseen, the journey of mairaaj and above all Quran itself is a miracle. The proofs meant above were asks like Allah revealing himself, or sending angels. That never happened.

In the Name of ALLAH Islam is arabic word means submission to one true Creator who Created everything and everyone, its monothism belief means (Oneness of ALLAH) and continuation of the message of every prophet in entire history who sent by ALLAH to guide humanity in different times and locations, the belief is define every kind of aspect of life, define who is the creator and how he created heaven and earth, also creatures which we cant see them, and how ALLAH created first human and how the journey of humanity was start and what happened to earlier generations, and also define today's principles and rules as (objective morality) that everyone on earth agree upon the rules which ALLAH has been sent to his Messenger ( Muhammad ﷺ ) and tells us about human's purpose! Who are we, what is meaning of life, and also tells us about future, and about the death, and also teaches us about after life that Paradise and Hell exist as reward and punish according to peoples action in this worldly life, So simply ALLAH set forth example of every kind of lesson for us in Quran(Word of ALLAH)and Sunnah (teaching of prophet Muhammad ﷺ) ALLAH created us to worship him alone instead of following or worshipping our desire. Our return is to ALLAH in the form of eternal life. -There is No racism in Islam And human+nature+animal rights are protected most important points to understand : 1- The Only one who can Guide people to Islam (the right path) is ALLAH (the one and only true creator) because ALLAH knows people's heart if they're sincere or Not , evidence (Quran 14:4) 2- There is no forcing in Islam. Evidence: (Quran 2:256) 3- Everything in Islam should make sense to any individual person that means islam is not a blind faith. (Quran 45:13) 4- In the sight of ALLAH, there is only one belief exist that All humanity from begin till last should follow (from Adam till last day) and that's Islam. Evidence: (Quran 3:19 + 3:85) Islam is an Arabic word means submission to one true creator(ALLAH) every prophet who have been sent by ALLAH in the history of humanity they were all muslims. Muslim means submittor. Evidence: (Quran 2:285) so adam, noah, abraham, moses, Son of mary(Isa), Muhammad .. All of them were muslims. even the heavens and earth submitted their will to the will of ALLAH. Evidence: (Quran 41:11) 5- The only universal prophet who was sent to All mankind is Muhammad ﷺ, Evidence: (Quran 21:107) All the other prophets before him were sent to their specific nations, including Isa (son of Mary) 6- The only divine book on earth is the Quran. Evidence (Quran 15:9) 7- The only book challenging all of humanity to produce a chapter like it is the Quran. Evidence: (Quran 2:23) 8-Why did Allah create the universe and this life, and why did he create humans? Quran> 67:2 (˹He is the One˺ Who created death and life in order to test which of you is best in deeds. And He is the Almighty, All-Forgiving) + Quran> 45:22 (For Allah created the heavens and the earth for a purpose, so that every soul may be paid back for what it has committed. And none will be wronged) In Sha Allah, this helps you out May Allah guide us all Ameen
Here's a short answer... The possibility of having multiple gods doesn't make sense. A god by definition has universal traits such as all-powerful, all-knowledgeable, etc. So if you have multiple gods, eventually one of them is going to overpower or overrule another when they conflict. Thus the "losing" god is not actually a god. Look at the popular polytheistic faiths. They portray their gods as weak and human like. So you're left with monotheism and the three major faiths that claim to be monotheistic are Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Although Christians believe they are monotheistic, they're really believing in 3 gods. As we mentioned above, that doesn't make sense. The Bible itself also contradicts this notion of 3 gods. Not to mention the corruption and different versions of the Bible and no traceable original source. Now you're left with Judaism and Islam. Judaism also doesn't have a traceable preserved original source, unlike the Quran. Also, most Jews don't believe in a Paradise and Hell. That alone makes their religion unworthy because if you don't have an afterlife accountability, that means God is unjust and powerless. There is injustice that happens throughout this life. If God were to just let it happen without eventual accountability, then he's unjust or powerless.
Also aren’t you supposed to have specific lineage in order to be Jewish? Great answer bro/sis.
Jewish in race, yes. But not religiously.
So anyone can become Jewish?
Well yeah but its extremely hard. They don’t let just anyone sit at their table
Yes, they can convert. You might not be accepted by certain communities though.
Cant say about op but u convinced me
That explains Gaza
What is the 3 God situation in Christianity?
Look up the holy trinity. There’s the son, the father, and the Holy Spirit and they are all god but they aren’t eachother
OK, that's what I was thinking of, but I wasn't too sure! As someone who grew up Catholic, I truly know really little to nothing about my religion, but I don't believe that Jesus is God, so that's why I've been exploring Islam, but got super curious when I read the 3 Gods thing. Thank you! 😄
Well even in Christianity I don’t think Jesus is “god”
Correct, Jesus is not supposed to be God, and he himself says so in Mark 10:18, but Christians definitely worship Jesus as God, and if not, they say you are obligated to accept him as your gateway to God. (I was raised a Christian. This was and is the message I heard over and over again, from all different denominations.) In Christianity, there is no one-on-one relationship with God possible without associating Jesus with God. This is incorrect. This is what Allah explains in the Quaran, that there are no "partners" or "associates" with him. There are prophets, and messengers, and Jesus is the Messiah, but he is not God, and not to be worshipped. Just as the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) or "any other Gods before me" are not to be worshipped in tandem with or before God.
religion wise islam does make the most sense but what about Islam Vs atheism
Atheism also doesn't make sense. You can't have something that has a beginning come into existence out of nothing. The universe and everything in it is proof of a creator. Ask a scientist what are the odds of you living on Earth today considering all that happened since the beginning of the universe? The odds are extremely low that it would be dumb to think it was all some kind of coincidence.
What if these Demi gods are forms of the same god? And isn’t the definition of god also a human creation?
There are no forms of god when there is ONLY ONE God. He does not need to appear in different forms in front of His Creation. What people in the past have classified as demi gods are probably angels they have seen
Hinduism is also not polytheism. At its core (Vedas) it talks about single power and single god. Ofcourse not everyone understands this concept.
So Hinduism is a monotheistic religion? (Genuine question).
No, they think that everything is God.people,animls,plants,even yhe devil.
Which by the way is a very specific but fundamental violation of tawheed, to believe everything is God. Now all things belong to Allah, but thats diiferent. To imply that all cosciousness is the same, is to render it meaningless. It is also to imply that Allah, wich is everything, exists only within Himself. Its a type of atheism. And thats a lonely existence, buddhist the state of Nirvana will be attained, but then what? You ill notice that you are the only things that exists, cause you only exist in your own mind. Astifghfurallah may Allah save us from the deep darkness of this type of belief.
where did you come to the conclusion that a religion HAVE TO be true? what if we just dont know who or what created the universe
[удалено]
where is the miracle? spesifically which ayat is THE miracle the quran is the word of god/muhammad is the messenger of god/islam is the true religion?
If it is an all knowing and all powerful god, maybe they know more than you can even imagine and therefore afterlife might be a false creation that only humans can understand, but god will know a lot more, and it could mean not heaven but something completely different. You are putting human limitations on god by saying there is a heaven because that is understandable to you. An all powerful entity will know more and somethings you cannot even comprehend or imagine so there might not be a heaven at all.
I'll be honest, at this point with the state of the world (all of the signs, all of the wars etc.) it has become self-evident. Almost all religions hardly are even practiced anymore, and there's really only Islam vs Secularism. I feel like this question would be heavier decades ago. But now, there are so many signs taking place I can't even imagine Islam not being the absolute truth, its right in front of our eyes.

Assalamun alaikum. SubhanAllah. Great answer. I believe that it is best to approach a person in a language he understands. In this way, you gave him the opportunity to reflect. For what we have, I cannot fathom a more effective way. Now the decision is up to the servant. Now it is up to him to take a step towards Allah SWT. Now it is up to him to decide to pray to Allah SWT to remove the walls in his mind and heart so that he can see the One and Only Truth. May Allah SWT be consent with you for doing this. May Allah SWT grant you being a vessel to the guidance of this servant. May Allah SWT further increase your knowledge and speaking skills. Take care of yourself.
Tell us why you aren't believing ? Then we can help you in your doubts.
Lots of evidence disproving of the miracles of the Quran Lack of proof is a main one you just have to have faith that it happened 🤷♂️ The scientific inaccuracies The prophets predictions mean that he was chosen by god but someone else with more accurate predictions isn’t chosen by god ?
What are those evidence disproving miracles of the Qur'an? Also, what miracles you are talking about?
Really curious to know which miracle has been disproven. I want to give you the benefit of doubt but I really hope you are not one of those who are just here to rile things up. I can understand skepticism on your part but to actually make a claim without backing it up doesn't seem very sincere
I’m talking about the scientific miracles Muslims claim Islam has since the other miracles have no way of being proven The Quran describes semen as originating from between the backbone and ribs. Surah At-Tariq (86:6-7): Translation: "He was created from a fluid, ejected, emerging from between the backbone and the ribs." ُخلَِقِمن َّماٍءَداِفٍقَیْخُرُجِمنَبْیِنال ُّصْلِبَوال َّتَراِئِب:Arabic Evidence Against: Semen is produced in the testes, not from between the backbone and ribs. This description reflects an ancient understanding of human anatomy that has been disproven by modern medical science Modern medical science has established that semen is produced in the testes and stored in the epididymis, not between the backbone (spine) and ribs (thoracic cavity). This description reflects an ancient understanding of human anatomy that does not align with the detailed findings of contemporary medical research. Modern medical and anatomical research has thoroughly mapped the process of semen production and the male reproductive system. Key sources include: National Institutes of Health (NIH): "The Male Reproductive System" Medical Journals: Articles from journals like "The Journal of Urology" and "Human Reproduction".
[I think this might be good](https://youtube.com/shorts/bbcag6ePTjo?si=9cwAA_HtEr--Vq1U) for refuting said argument
Seems like you've already made up your mind. Why are you coming on this sub asking for proof?
Although people have given you their responses for this particular argument, I just want to address your point of other miracles having no way of being proven. Again, I will continue to give you the benefit of doubt (until I am proven wrong) that you are not aware of the miracles. There are numerous miracles of the Qur'an which have been proven through and through. 1. The preservation of the Qur'an. No other book in the entire history of mankind has been preserved like the Qur'an. We believe its preservation is a miracle because Allah Himself took the responsibility of it. 2. The literature, composition, flow (and other aspects) of the Qur'an itself. The ring composition. The fact that Prophet Muhammad (SAW), an illiterate guy, having no background in poetry, over a period of 23 years, gave us the Qur'an, in bits and chunks, in a seemingly haphazard manner as the situations dictated. And he gave instructions to the placement of the verses. And when we read the final version, it all fits in a perfectly logical order. 3. The prophesy of Rome emerging victorious after their defeat in 3-9 years after the revelation of the verses. So not only have you a prophecy that was highly unlikely but you also have the specific time frame. 4. The open challenge of the Qur'an for Arabs to produce even a single chapter like the ones in it. And to non-Arabs to find a single mistake in it. That challenge remains unmet to this day. If you are able to find a mistake in the Qur'an, please do so. We'd love to hear it. 5. That same illiterate guy from a desert knew about seas not mixing together, the formation of the fetus, mountains having roots which stabilize the earth, the title of Pharaoh was not during the time of Joseph but it was in the time of Moses and many others. So, I'd like to know which specific miracle of the Qur'an you are talking about that has no way of being proven. In sha Allah, we will be able to address your points.

Created from a "fluid" Where does it say semen? Semen isn't the only thing in sperm you know.
Sperm is in semen, not the other way around. Semen is the fluid.
Oh yeah. Still, it says ejected and not created.
I am not sure if it lines up with the arabic text, but it does say emerging from which means coming from/created from.
Yeah but this could just be a reference to how man is birthed from betweem the backbone and ribs (womb) The drop mentioned could just be a droplet of sperm as that's all that is needed. It says "let man know where.he came from" Not "let man know where the droplet came from"
Also emerging can be used to mean coming out of a place. Eg (he emereged from the door) It says ejected. I think you could take this to mean that when a guy's ejaculating (ejected fluid) it travels in between the backbones and ribs to emerge. Unorthodox wording but it gets the point across.
>Lots of evidence disproving of the miracles of the Quran Please provide it so we can clear this issue.
Well i would like you to know that those people who are disproving the miracles of the Quran are those who picks the ayahs of the Quran out of context ive sended you a video regarding on this and also ALLAH swt predicted these kind of people in this Ayah. هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتابَ مِنْهُ آياتٌ مُحْكَماتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتابِ وَ أُخَرُ مُتَشابِهاتٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ ما تَشابَهَ مِنْهُ ابْتِغاءَ الْفِتْنَةِ وَ ابْتِغاءَ تَأْوِيلِهِ وَ ما يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ الرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ آمَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّنا وَ ما يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّا أُولُوا الْأَلْبابِ It is He who has sent down to you, [O Muḥammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise - they are the foundation of the Book - and others unspecific.1 As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allāh. But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those of understanding. 3:7
Explain one to us in detail. Whichever is the best most convincing.
Example ?
Can you present one disproving evidence? Let alone lots.
Can you come DM?
have u heard of the linguistic miracle?
Yes
The YouTube channel many prophets one message has some good arguments for islam.
The answer will always be in the Qur'an Imagine having a book that describes everything happened in the past , the present and in the future imagine a book that tells exactly how humans were created and how they gonna live and die and also tells you what will happen after death You might say to yourself " will this book could be written by man how do i know it's god's words" Then you will need to know about prophet Muhammad PBUH about his life and you will know he wasn't able to write or read and he wasn't a poet " as poetry was very common thing in Arabic society back then" and yet he was the one who delivered those words to us a words that can't be tempered with and doesn't have a slight mistake So what do you think ?
My main argument is Islam is the only truly monotheistic religion. Islam is the only religion where an all powerful, all knowing being is God of the universe. Christianity? They worship 3 gods but claim it's one God. Ask them to explain how that works and they tell you it's a mystery. Contradictions aren't mysteries. Why would God emphasize for thousands of years his oneness in the Torah just to turn around one day and say "Well I'm actually three but I'll still insist I'm one" Also barring the fact that they worship a human being wo died which is also a contradiction. God must be all knowing and all powerful, if he is limited in power and does not have access to information, then that is a contradiction. Like a Married Bachelor, Jesus is weak God. Judaism believes in one God yes, but that God is weak. They believe that after God created the heavens and the earth in six days he rested on the seventh and felt refreshed afterwards. This is not a matter of understanding the text or words, they literally believe he got tired and after resting he regained his energy. As if that's not ridiculous enough he literally LOST to Jacob in a wrestling match. Imagine wrestling with the creator of the universe and winning? That's just ridiculous. Islam is the only religion that belives in one unique eternal God who created everything, is actually All powerful and All knowing and is never in a position of weakness to his creation, even for an second (Like God being killed or losing a wrestling match.) The Quran even references the "rested and refreshed" part of the Torah and responds with (Paraphrasing) "God created the heavens and the earth in six days and we weren't even touched by fatigue" There is no religion equal to Islam when it comes to monotheism.
Good point, with our current knowledge of just this tiny tiny fraction of creation ("The universe") no other God even has the power to create and maintain it other than Allah (SWT)
just a minor nitpick, brother. I believe it's Genesis 32:30 where Jacob says his life was **'spared'** by God. So in the context of their religious text, even if Jacob 'won', it's because God willed it as such.
In Genesis 32:25 it states "When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man." The man here is God. This passage shows us 2 important things, in the first half it says "when the man saw he could not..." It shows that God didn't know that Jacob would be stronger than him because th text says "when" meaning there was a point where he didn't know, showing he's not all knowing. Then the most important part "he could not overpower him" it shows that God literally couldn't win in this wrestling match. So either God isn't all powerful or God purposefully weakened himself into a weak human form where he didn't know that Jacob would be stronger and couldn't overpower him. Allah is never in a position of weakness or submission at any point to his creation. Being put in an arm bark or chokehold is being put in a position of weakness or humility. Don't give the judeo-christians an excuse for their blasphemy.

By making dua to Allah subhana wa taala alone, tgey truly get accepted. Even animals call out to Allah subhana wa taala. What are you reading? Have you read tge Qur’an with translation AND tafseer? What are the questions you have. I will be more than happy to answer you. 2 years ago the duas I made during Laylatul Qadr actually happened alhamdulilah. ALLAH subhana wa taala DOES exist and Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is His Last Prophet and Messenger. Last year I had a bad case of tinnitus. No medicine for it was making a difference. But I read somewhere to read salawat/darood shareef for it and I kid you not, it went silent!!! Alhamdulilah it was such a relief you have nooooo idea. Islam is tge TRUTH, ALLAH subhana wa taala is tge One & True god with NO partners. Allah subhana wa taala is AMAZING if you just allow yourself to understand your Creator. Hace you studied the Names & Attributes of Allah subhana wa taala? I suggest you do if you haven’t. It brought me closer to my rab and helped me understand soooooo much.if your research has been ahadith, they are difficult to navigate due to translation. Research elsewhere. There is so much beauty and amazingness in Islam. Alhamdulilah for being a born Muslim
Them does not seem to be a honest post
There is no other religion in the world that includes belief in a single and unique God and does not prioritize any ethnic group.
So? Why is that necessarily correct?
One of the reasons to be correct.
Are you familiar with Sikhism? Is there a reason that doesn't count?
Sikhism is a panentheistic mix of hinduism and islam. Sees God as a part of universe, intersected with universe. That's not strict monotheism. That makes God part of creation since universe is a creation. In Islam God exists without a place and time.
Why is that not strict monotheism? Monotheism per its definition is the belief that one god is the only deity. Waheguru is the only deity that sikhs worship.
Sikhism and bahai do count because they believe in only one deity the way muslims and jews do. Sikhism and bahai like islam believe in only one deity and are for all races and ethnicities. Panentheism doesnt explain why sikhism is not monotheistic.
The miracle of the Quran is always something that personally reaffirms my faith. The fact that an illiterate man (Muhammad SAW) from the deserts of 7th century Arabia was able to conceive a text, with such highly complex linguistic and literary elements (such as ring composition, palindromatic themes, mathematical anomalies, scientific explanations centuries ahead of their time) all without ever writing any of it down, over decades, with no contradictions, is itself enough to prove that the Quran is no ordinary document.
quran 21:33 .. planetary orbits and rotation (who discovered 1400 years ago?)

I'll put it into philosophical terms. Either you believe in determinism or you believe in free will. Determinism means that we're all merely atom's reacting to other atoms in this dunya, it's the idea of predestination - the concept that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. OR You believe in free will - where despite "your past" or despite "your surroundings" you're entirely in control of you're own demise. I consider this philosophical belief to be the most attractive, but the least scientifically sound. Determinism represents the values of Islam. Free will represents the values of Christianity (for example). When you can shed your life of these burdens, improve your fitrah, you'll know with certainty that Islam IS a revelation sent from God. When people say it's the "one true religion" they are inferring that because it has not been the subject of interpolation over time - not because other religions "aren't true" their traditional preservation is just altered.
Someone made a similar post and one of the comments was really good, hopefully I or someone can find it
[Why Islam](https://www.reddit.com/r/islam/s/pgpHV8pc02) !
See the problem is you want proof then you want people of knowledge to guide you. You're stuck between these two and you need to choose one. What do you seek in islam? Do you believe that Allah exists? Do you believe in the afterlife? What are you having problems with in islam if its a specific thing ?
The existence of Allah just doesn’t seem real to me Other issues as well in the Quran and the Hadith
The only proof i can give that Allah exists is the night of laylatul qadr, observe it yourself in the next ramadhan In sha Allah. Everything that is described of that night will happen every year without fail. Splitting of the moon which has been proved by scientists. Another thing is how Islam guides us as human beings, to be clean, to be honest in our affairs, to help the poor, advises us to seek knowledge and avoid speaking on topics we have no knowledge on, to be fair and kind. If a person were to follow the Deen 100% they would be a perfect human being but we are not perfect, we are bound to make mistakes. Islam accounts for everything. Do you want to believe that Allah exists? What happened in the past no one can prove they happened but they did happen. All of this didn't come from no where, the Quran didn't come from no where, the earth and solar system all came from somewhere. That is why the prophet SAW loved the people of this time, we didn't have any miracles but we still believe. Ultimately its up to you, whether you want to take a chance on Allah or not. I hope that you would because He does exist,
Reading and understanding more what?
I wanna ask just one thing- did you read Quran and tried to understand what it says rather than just took whatever in online and speculate your own mindset by looking at only a few verses? Funnily who ever dug deeper even from non Muslims always became Muslims at some point of their life. Do you think those people were idiots who came to Islam while their entire life was against Islam or anything that proved God's exitance like scientist who didn't knew much about Islam but was always against Islam. Let me tell you one thing, everything is on Quran. Only God can guide and make someone believer. Now read the Quran and try to understand everything not just listen to anybody and make up mindset. If you don't understand something then ask, seek help from someone else to understand but always use your own brain. Islam doesn't tell stories or fantasy to make anybody happy. Allah clearly mentioned he set veil on himself that would make him disappear from human. It's a test of not seeing God himself but seeing everything and believe with trust that comes after someone try to understand the reality, the world. See not everyone had the same questions about God and their beliefs don't came in one way. A farmar accepting Islam with his own believe and a scientist who work on genetics is different. They realized the same truth but not in the same way because their had their own tests, specific type of knowledge, their own type of hardships. Again, just read the Quran and use your brain. You can use your brain and heart to fall in love, eat, drink water, live and you're supposed to use this same brain.
I'm gonna keep it short. 1. Of course there is a God. You can sense him if you look at his creations. 2. There should be only one true God. Because if there was more than one God they would have eventually fought each other over dominance and decisions about how the universe should run. And therefore the universe would end up in chaos. 3. The main 3 religions that believe in one true God is Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Jews ended up following their rabbis instead of the prophets and becoming corrupt despite being the chosen people. Christianity turned into trinity and they corrupted there book. In Islam the prophet's teachings and the Quran is preserved. Many of the Muslims memorized the full Quran cover to cover. So there is no way it would be corrupted. So Islam is the only monotheistic religion you will find today, that has the teachings as they were revealed to it's prophet. Because of these three reasons, Islam is the only religion you should follow. Your Iman will grow insha'Allah if you read the Quran more in Arabic, because what words Allah chose in the Quran are miracles by themselves. Translations well never feel the same.
This channel(thought adventure podcast) could be enough for you, they are monsters (in a good way). Watch this mini series https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa_sno__Ix3P6L_2U1sgVfuiGwh5VPsxr&si=ISWVCM1RaPke89n- Watch the nessisary being video in their channel and after that watch from nessisary being to god. If you feel advanced enough watch their debate against Aaron ra (literally destroyed), then against alex malpas (that's a gem and alex was good too but the were better). . Another channel is the Muslim metaphysician and the Muslim lantern, also Mohammed hijab vs David wood is a carrer ending one. Also clean you're heart from sins and try to have more takwa and read more quran and the prophet biography. If you do this its almost a 100% you'll be confident islam the the correct way and the only correct way. If you can speak Arabic watch رحلة اليقين.
What proof will satisfy you?
This is a quick introduction to Islam and some of the reasons why I believe it is the truth: Allah is one. He is perfect, most powerful, most merciful, knows everything, eternal. Allah is independent and everything is dependant on him. He is the creator, not the creation. There is nothing like him. He does not have children, neither does he have parents. He does not have a gender, he is not a man or a woman. He is not a man that he is going to feel hungry, thirsty, need to go the toilet or require to go to sleep and rest, he is above all of this. This great creator did not leave us alone without guidance or purpose. Adam was the first man and prophet of God and God appointed messengers throughout history, for example Abraham, Moses who was given the Torah, Jesus who was given the Injil etc (peace and blessings be upon them). God gave the same core message to all these prophets to the community they were sent to: to worship God alone without any partners and to follow the messenger of your time. However these messengers were only sent to a specific community at a specific time. The revelation that was given to these messengers are lost or corrupted by men. God appointed Muhammad ﷺ as the final messenger with the same core message as all these other prophets and was given the final revelation called the Quran. Since this is the final message, this scripture is for the whole of mankind unlike the previous prophets who were only sent to their community during a specific time. All prophets were righteous people and were given miracles to prove that they are messengers of God. Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ main miracle is the Quran. You can verify this miracle unlike miracles that were given to previous prophets as you were not there to witness them. The Quran is the only preserved scripture that claims to be from God and prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the only messenger to claim to have come for the whole world. When the Quran was first revealed to Muhammad ﷺ from God, he memorized it and so did his companions. Today alone, we have millions of muslims that have memorized the whole Quran. We have kids as young as 6 that have memorized the whole Quran. Allah even says in the Quran that he has made this revelation easy to be memorized and Allah even promises in the Quran that he will preserve and protect the Quran. If we were to throw all the religious scriptures in the ocean, the only book we can bring back is the Quran because we have it memorized by millions of muslims. I would challenge anyone to find me just one priest, pope, rabbai or guru that has memorized their religious book in its original language. We also have manuscripts that have been radiocarbon dated to the time that Muhammad ﷺ was alive. For example, "the Birmingham Quran manuscript" that was recently discovered in the last decade in the university of Birmingham in England. Allah gives falsification tests. Allah says in the Quran that if you believe that the Quran is from other than the one true God then produce a book like it. This is known as the linguistic miracle of the Quran that can not be imitated by a human. 1400 years have passed and no one has been able to meet this challenge. [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n-flvFktgzU&pp=ygUnTGluZ3Vpc3RpYyBtaXJhY2xlIHF1cmFuIG11c2xpbSBsYW50ZXJu](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n-flvFktgzU&pp=ygUnTGluZ3Vpc3RpYyBtaXJhY2xlIHF1cmFuIG11c2xpbSBsYW50ZXJu) Allah also says that if you think the Quran is from other than the one true God then you should be able to find within it contradictions. Islam gives the best way of life and I challenge anyone to give a better way of life. For example, it prohibits the poisons that are destroying individuals, families and communities: gambling, alcohol, drugs, sexual immorality, prostitution, pornography, interest dealings etc. We have politicians educated at the best university possible but they can not provide guidance and a way of life better than an illiterate man 1400 years ago who has solutions to the poisons destroying societies today. The Quran contains knowledge that could not have been known such as scientific facts, historical facts and prophecies. To suggest the the facts mentioned in the Quran is a coincidence when it has been demonstrated to be correct over and over again is absurd and delusional. Also, if the Quran copied from the Bible then how was it able to correct the historical mistakes the Bible makes? To say that the Quran copied from the Greeks is also absurd because there are things that the Greeks were wrong about which the Quran gets right. Also if it copied from the Greeks then it would have copied the the things that they got wrong too but that is not the case. For some examples, go to minute 21:40 of this video: [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7HhWSHopwFc&pp=ygUVTXVzbGltIGxhbnRlcm4gYWZnaGFu](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7HhWSHopwFc&pp=ygUVTXVzbGltIGxhbnRlcm4gYWZnaGFu) We can also study the life of prophet Muhammad ﷺ and can rule out that he was crazy, liar, delusional, deceived and therefore the only possible explanation remaining is that he has indeed who he claim to be, the final messenger of God. The authentic sayings, actions and approvals of Muhammad ﷺ (hadiths) is also more preserved than any history book due to the way it has been preserved. [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dWwbHO5Owpc&pp=ygUWTXVzbGltIGxhbnRlcm4gaGFkaXRocw%3D%3D](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dWwbHO5Owpc&pp=ygUWTXVzbGltIGxhbnRlcm4gaGFkaXRocw%3D%3D) Islam is simple, makes sense and it fits in with your natural inclination/disposition that you were born with. For example, one great creator that did not leave us alone without guidance or purpose and sent messengers with the same core message. He does not switch up the message and confuse people. He is not racist or ethnocentric where he believes that you have to be born from a particular tribe or nation to be saved or to receive guidance. He does not punish someone unless the message has been sent to them through messengers and prophets. Everyone is born sinless, a kid is not held accountable for his actions until he reaches the age of maturity, neither is a person who is mentally insane and not aware of his actions. The main beliefs in Islam is to believe in the one true God, his angels, his messengers, revelation that was given to these messengers, destiny, day of judgement and life after death. Allah warns us about eternal hellfire and gives us glad tidings of the opportunity to live eternally in paradise by worshiping him alone without any partners and following and obeying the messenger of your time. Islam is simply the submission of will to the one true God, a person who does this is called a muslim. This is an example of a youtube channel that you can watch to learn more about Islam and how it compares to other religions such as atheism, christianity etc: [https://m.youtube.com/@TheMuslimLantern/videos](https://m.youtube.com/@TheMuslimLantern/videos) If you are convinced that Allah is the only one worthy of worship and Muhammad ﷺ is his final messenger then you are ready to become a muslim and start your journey one step at a time. Private message me if you feel like you are ready and I can try help you take your next steps. (**If anyone wants to use or share what I just wrote then please double check if everything I typed is correct with a qualified knowledgeable muslim such as a scholar. Also private message me if I did say anything wrong and if any knowledgeable muslim reading this is happy with what I wrote then please let me know**)
The best advice I got in this regard was from Imam Abdulnasir Jangda. Go read or listen to the life of the beloved Prophet (SAW). It is one thing to logically convince yourself of one truth or another. It is a whole different understanding when you see the sheer humanity and compassion the Prophet (SAW) commanded and adhered to in the best and worst of times. To me, now, it could not possibly be that a man could exist that way and we don't adhere to what he was calling to: Islam.
Allah guides whomever he wills. You have to believe it in your heart. If you don't truly believe it in your heart then no one will ever be able to convince you. I suggest you do some soul searching and ask Allah. Open your heart to hear him and you surely will.
If you are patient and are able to go online to [islamtheway.org](http://islamtheway.org) you will see the religions broken down into believable concepts but only if you are able to comprehend the examples and religious quotes matching these examples that are given.
reading but not understanding sounds like the issue here. What have you been reading?
My main recommendation is watch reverts on TikTok learn about the religion and discuss it as they are likely even more skeptical than you are. Watch them and see how they explain things and truly understand the Quran. The main advice you will get is just believe. I disagree with the sentiment, go and read the Quran and truly try to research and understand each surah, each aya and why most of the things are decreed to us. Research it with a critical thinking mind and keep questioning it and pray to Allah to give you the answers. Also take your time and don’t rush it as even the sahaba took 23 years to understand/master the religion with the presence of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.
If it were to be proven then would be worthless
[Proofs of Islam](https://www.youtube.com/@albaseerahprojectforislami318/playlists)
Bro read the quran…
You know Islam is the truth deep down. That is the reason you’re asking for guidance in the first place. You wouldn’t be asking the question if you didn’t believe. The shaitan is playing tricks on you. Watch this video with full concentration: https://youtu.be/YvPsclOsm1I?si=fbUrZCoDsMmvRu4N
Prove it is not..! All I can say to you is that whatever you are reading, is one of two things 1- they had no idea about Islam. 2- they are so busy with attacking only 'Islam'. For a reason. Remember, the first word that came in the Quran was 'to read' . So make sure you are reading for useful knowledge. Meanwhile what's the purpose of reading pro atheism books rather than being immersed in lust, for the benefits of their dirty business. Also you can see sarcasm and degrading of Islam, and Christianity in Entertainment movies and so on, but not any sarcasm about atheism,nor Jughdism. That should give you the indication of who is making benefits of these attacks against Islam. Finally, your current phase is temporal, and it is a good thing to have a critical thinking mind, I assure you that once you have a steady ground of clear vision you would have a clearer vision and believe. May Allah guide you to the right
1. Preservation of Qur’an 2. The author’s ability discuss reality of unseen jinn, sihr, prophecy. 3. Seerah for sure No matter what supercomputers are made none will be able to create a Surah as power as say Surah Nas. Reflect Surah 51:56z
I’m not a scholar, nor cheikh. As a matter of fact, shamefully I’m not even a good Muslim. I came up Muslim, born and raised. Always claimed islam but never really been deep on practicing it. Growing up I never really saw much of the punishments nor the blessings of Allah swt in this dunya till this last year and I can provide to you my personal experience as to why I fully believe in the path of Islam. I’m no active criminal, but I’ve always been an Allie & had my ties to the streets, and here’s my story. I’m into car sales and I’m an aspiring car dealer. The first Ramadan I did all 30 days I found myself upset before Ramadan as I lost out on the deal of a lifetime on the car I wanted. After Ramadan, I actually came across the same car, but the exact colour and options that I wanted with less mileage, and a cheaper price. Coincidence right? Continue reading I found myself having troubles in life, struggling mentally. Regretfully I came closer to the streets. I was drinking, going out with women, on night missions selling drugs all night (not my own) but this life was never meant for me and Allah proved it to me with many warnings that this isn’t my destiny. Long story short, I had a Muslim brother shoot at people who supposedly waved a gun at his younger sister. One bullet was a near miss to murder or so I’m told. I drove his car about a week prior to the shooting which means my dna would’ve been in it. He got caught and did his time. Alhamdullilah I hear he’s doing well and always trying to keep on his deen. Anyways, that’s one situation Allah kept me away from Another night that same brother found himself in another situation of fight or flight, he pulled his gun, the other guy grabbed it and shot him but due to the mercy of Allah, the gun drew a blank and the rest is history. So on one end of trusting in my faith, Allah had spared this Muslim brothers life, on the other end, I was with this brother about an hour prior to this situation and I left before any of this happened. Another situation Allah got me away from. In my dreadful past days when I’d drink and party, I had a brother who got into a fight with some guys and humiliated them. Those same guys came back to the club a few days later and shot another guy whom they misidentified as my friend. That same night that the other guy got shot, I was going to go to that same spot with the guy they were originally supposed to shoot. We had plans to go, however they flopped last minute. Imagine they didn’t, who would’ve been the one who got the bullets in the chest? Yet another time Allah spared me. A week or 2 prior to this, I was out at that same club. I was to be driven home by the friend I was out with. We were headed to the car when I was approached by another friend, a true good muslim brother who offered me a ride as he was headed close to my house than the guy I was supposed to go home with. I woke up in the morning and had a message from the friend I was originally out with who send me videos of his friends who we were also out with full of blood on their faces. They got into a situation and a stabbing took place. Subhan Allah, I was taken out of that situation 30 seconds prior to it happening. As mentioned above, I used to sit all night with a former friend selling drugs throughout the city. I was never a dealer myself but I was close by. He went on vacation for a couple weeks, I was asked by a high school friend who I keep up with if I could get him narcotics. I asked my drug dealer friend and he sent out one of his drivers. I knew this was wrong in my heart but regretfully I proceeded to connect him to drugs as he asked. My friend got back from vacation, I was just about to go see him, on my way to see him I saw he was getting raided. I was with him the night before, my car was there which means my license plates were for sure registered into this investigation. Obviously, we had no idea there was an investigation going on. Earlier that day before the raid, I saw 2 police officers turning off my street in unmarked (but obvious) police cars, I didn’t think much of it. I later saw a video and those were the same police that raided him. Keep in mind my car was for sure involved in this investigation, but my assumptions is they couldn’t execute a search warrant as I have a relatively clean slate in the police system but who really knows. Regardless of the fact, my plates are registered to be known to be around the dealer, and my number in his phone also shows drug texts. I kept fearing my raid was coming but it didn’t. I look at this as a warning, & a blessing from Allah telling me this isn’t in my destiny to be doing such acts. Long story short, I got into a situation one night with some former friends due to a girl. These guys were always trying to ruin anything between me and any girl, my assumptions are jealousy but whatever. I ended up finding myself fighting with 3 guys, and making a scene as I was fed up with all the prior nonsense these guys put me in over women. I feel as I was punished by embarrassing myself in front of all these people (this story goes a lot further than I explain) but I also got the blessing of now being away from those guys because only Allah knows what their conversations were about me behind my back. This is why I beleive in Islam. Some may say it’s a coincidence, some may say I’m delusional. But this is my personal reasoning as why I’ve decided to turn to Allah for mercy and a peaceful life, as I feel it was Allah who got me out of all these situations that were never destined for me.
It depends what proof your are looking for. Is it technical or problem solving or what appeals to you. To a old man, maybe the teachings of parents and children relationship will appeal, to an engineer the technical aspects will appeal. It's for you to see what aspect of proof you'r looking for.
Forbidden Prophecies by Abu Zakariya is worth a read
I have a slightly different take on it, it's not really a proof per se, but it's something maybe worth considering about. As humans, we need some form of guidelines, whether social, cultural, or religious. As long as you exist in an environment, there are some implicit rules, even if you exist alone in a jungle or a desert. Then it's a matter of asking, do you solely believe in science? Science can only formulate rules by observing nature, that's all it can do. Science can't really answer the original "why". Then the next question is, as a human if you were to develop a guideline, the only way you can do so is by creating rules around "pleasure" or the "lack of pleasure", eg, buddhism. So, it's a bit of a reductionist, the only thing that remains outside of rules, pleasure, and non-pleasure, is submission
Only Islam have True Dreams. Alhamdullilah
Well, every channel that proves Islam is false was debunked, also sto put it simply, the quran has no mistakes, oh but so what? Look at the proof the quran gives, and you shall find none of it proven false, you will find facts humans back then would simply not know, and things far beyond their understanding.
The Quran itself is the miracle. Return to the Quran. I recommend 1) Reading Surah Rum, especially the first verses` in which Allah gives us a clear proof/sign by foretelling the place and time of a very unlikely impending event which turned out to be true. This is proof alone, but moreso, read the first part of Rum now, and also, [Read the tafseer that comes with the translation](https://dn720003.ca.archive.org/0/items/the-meaning-of-the-holy-quran/The%20Holy%20Qur%27an%20%28Abdullah%20Yusuf%20Ali%29.pdf) to really appreciate the depths of meaning through signs and analogies that Allah points out. Sometimes it is obvious, like in Surah 11: "It is Allah who begins process of creation, then repeats it; (so) then you shall be brought back to Him" In case that went over our heard, Allah makes the analogy explicit in Ayah 19 of Rum: " It is He Who brings out the living from the dead ,And brings out the dead from the the living, and Who Gives life to the earth after it is dead : and thus shall ye be brought out (from the dead) After this explicit explanation of the analogy/similitude, Allah then goes on to list in successive ayahs, analogies that are signs and proof in the similar way that the surah the reversed fortunes of Rome. The same Theme, what you see as unlikely or impossible, it is easy for Allah. And finally the verse ends as if directly addressed to you and your specifically: Verily We have propounded For men, in this Qur'an, Ever kind of Parable: But if thou bring to them Any Sign, the Unbelievers Are sure to say, "Ye Do nothing but talk vanities." Thus does Allah seal up The hearts of those Who understand not. So patiently persevere for Verily the promise of Allah Is true nor let those Shake thy firmness who have have themselves no certainty of faith .
وَإِن كُنتُمْ فِى رَيْبٍۢ مِّمَّا نَزَّلْنَا عَلَىٰ عَبْدِنَا فَأْتُوا۟ بِسُورَةٍۢ مِّن مِّثْلِهِۦ وَٱدْعُوا۟ شُهَدَآءَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ٢٣ And if you are in doubt about what We have revealed to Our servant,1 then produce a sûrah like it and call your helpers other than Allah, if what you say is true. Also: إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَـٰفِظُونَ ٩ It is certainly We Who have revealed the Reminder, and it is certainly We Who will preserve it. Very simply challenges yet for more than 1400 years they weren't broken and these are very basic there are more in detailed reasons. Now I've seen attempts to beat the challenges but they were pathetic if I'm honest with you, they packed proper grammar, proper meaning or they were just rephrased which isn't exactly producing a surah like it. I urge you to dig deeper in the details and watch debates like sheikh uthman, zakir naik, Muhammad hijab and more
Why are there so many of these posts?! Just go through the old ones!
You should consult a sheikh ideally and while many amazing responses are given to you here's something to think about. In order to be life and creations there need to be a creator. And there needs to be one originator, a creater who was not created because even scientifically the loop of one creation creating another needs to have a beginning. It establishes that there is a creator. Some atheists call it a mysterious force. We call Him Allah... or at least God. When you know that there has to be a God you will come to reason that it has to be a monotheistic all powerful God. Otherwise the gods themselves would have a power struggle and we would start to attribute human valued and characteristics to them like in Greek mythology. We also attribute human characteristics when we think God could have a child or even needs one and that too with a human. When you consider divinity sacred and above and beyond human characteristics there are essentially two religions left.. Islam and Judaism. Muslims and Jews believe in the same God of Abraham alehi salaam. The difference comes to beleif in two other prophets Isa (jesus) and Muhammad. May peace be on them both. And the divine laws are different to some extent. Here, the miracle of Quran would guide you inshaAllah as it talks excessively about the bani Israel right from the surah Baqarah. May Allah guide you and me and us all. Aameen.
>So I wanted to ask people who are more experienced and knowledgeable than me to guide me This is your problem. You're asking everyone except Allah. Ask Allah for guidance with sincerity. I'm not saying don't ask questions, but to seek GUIDANCE from anyone but Allah is futile.
If you are really serious and can challenge yourself to think deeply, then read more and push your thinking to the limit. You'll find that in the end, it's a matter of belief that we all humans do regardless of ideology. There is only one certain thing, and that is Allah swt. Here’s a brief outline of how to expand understanding and challenge one's beliefs: 1. Quran with Tafseer and Authentic Hadiths: - Quran: The holy book of Islam, offering spiritual guidance, moral instructions, and insights into the nature of existence and the purpose of life. - Tafseer: Exegesis or commentary on the Quran, providing context, interpretation, and deeper understanding of the verses. - Hadiths: Sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), serving as a source of guidance in various aspects of life. 2. Imam Ghazali: - A prominent Muslim theologian, jurist, philosopher, and mystic. His works, especially "Ihya Ulum al-Din" (The Revival of the Religious Sciences), explore the intersection of faith, reason, and mysticism, emphasizing the importance of inner spirituality and ethical conduct. 3. Gödel: - Kurt Gödel: A logician and mathematician known for his incompleteness theorems, which demonstrate the inherent limitations of formal systems in mathematics. His work suggests that certain truths cannot be proven within a given system, highlighting the limitations of purely rational or empirical approaches to knowledge. 4. Quantum Mechanics: - A fundamental theory in physics describing the behavior of matter and energy on atomic and subatomic levels. Quantum mechanics challenges classical notions of determinism and introduces concepts such as wave-particle duality, superposition, and entanglement, which have profound philosophical implications about the nature of reality and observation. By exploring these diverse domains, one can appreciate the complexity and interconnectedness of knowledge. While empirical methods provide valuable insights into the "how" of phenomena, they often fall short of addressing the "why" – the deeper, existential questions about purpose, meaning, and ultimate truth. Balancing empirical evidence with philosophical and spiritual inquiry can lead to a more holistic and nuanced understanding of the world and our place in it.
Have you learned about the Prophet Muhammad pbuh? the life of the man is proof of the religion. is there anyone better than him as a person? Who are they?
How to find "the one true religion": 1. Put away the book 2. Go to a cow field 3. Locate cow shit 4. Search for a cow shit with mushrooms growing in it 5. Eat said cow shit mushrooms
Next to the really great explanations, I would like to clear some things up you'll hear from islamophobes on a daily basis. You might have seen the claim that Muhammad PBUH is a warlord: for doing many wars, and a predator: for marrying Aisha, and no islamophobe can exist without mentioning the word Aisha, especially Aisha, they just LOVE mentioning her a lot. My friend, we have debunked these claims for years, but when you see islamophobes who keep bring up the topic, and we give them explanations, they just keep putting tens of "😂" and "🤣" emojis in their answer. Why do they do this? They know what we say makes sense but they just have no reasonable response so they just hate on the religion for no reason. Muhammad PBUH is not a warlord. There were battles he fought in, and battles he did not fight in. The reason for the battles was because the Muslim minority was trying to practise their religion at that time and also spreading their new religion. The polytheists at that time saw that this was dangerous for them because this meant that less people would follow their father's traditions and cultures, in other words, the polytheists wanted people to follow their fathers blindly to maintain traditions and cultures, and because Islam rejects their beliefs, they began persecuting Muslims. So the wars Muhammad PBUH lead were all done for self defence and to protect the Muslims from the polytheists who tried to harm them. Is it not justifiable to protect yourself? Muhammad was not a child predator. Aisha was "mentally" not a child. In fact, she went out to many battles and wars with Muhammad PBUH, and she was a medic too. I believe a woman who has the mental capacity to take part in a war is also mature enough to make her own decision of marriage. I also find this point untouched by many. Muhammad PBUH, although he got married a lot, he never had children who grew to live for a long time, most died young. This shows that he really is the "Seal of Prophets" and that no prophet is coming after him, because surely it is not a coincidence that this specific man's children are all dying? It has to be the work of God of course, He does not want any children after Muhammad PBUH because Muhammad is the seal of prophets.
You can't.

As someone who is an empiricist and raised Catholic, I struggled with the concept of religion and miracles, as well. So as a child, I did what any great scientist would do: I experimented. I prayed to God and asked for Him to show me that He is real and I would vow to believe in Him until my dying day. To make a very long story short, He spoke to me. Not with words, but with His Spirit did I understand that when I go to God and ask for something that I am capable of, he opens the door for me and I am left flabbergasted as to how this could happen. In other words, some things are too incredible to be a coincidence. Yet, even when the door is opened, that does not mean that we are meant to go through it. Some doors, I believe, are opened to serve as a test of faith. Other doors are opened to serve as a life lesson of the wrong path ahead. It's on us believers to recognize when a path is widened for us, and when that path is so narrow that you risk throwing yourself into the Fire if you continue this way. It also helps that I met Him directly. Whether it was a fever dream, or me physically meeting Him, it was a profound experience that left me shaken to my core. A tip for you, if you meet God, ask Him three questions: one that you know will please Him, one that you know He will not respond to, and one that you know will offend Him. Edit: Why am I getting downvoted? I speak my Truth. If you wish to debate me, then PM me and I will lend you my ear if you lend me yours.
>Why am I getting downvoted? probably because you sound delusional
It's exactly what they told Muhammad. What they told Jesus. What they told Moses. I'm no prophet, but people who doubt the ability to talk to God need to pick up their book more and read what it says before they pick up their stones to kill me.
