Our Creator Says,
“And upon the earth are Signs
visible to all who have faith
with certainty, just as there
are Signs within your own
selves. Will you not then see?”
(The Noble Qur’aan)
“But how do I know that God
exists?”
Either you were created by
nothing, which is impossible
because all things come into
existence by something, or you
created yourself, or the Creator
of all brought you into
existence:
“Were they created by
nothing, or were they themselves
the creators? Or did they create
the heavens and the earth? Nay,
they have no firm belief.”
(The Holy Qur’aan, Chapter
52, Verses 35-36)
“But how can I be sure?”
You can be sure by reflecting
upon His Signs within His
creation. Just as tracks in the
snow point towards a person who
had previously traveled there
before, Allah’s signs within the
creation point to a Most Wise
Creator:
“And upon the earth are Signs
visible to all who have faith
with certainty, just as there
are Signs within your own
selves. Will you not then see?”
(The Holy Qur’aan, Chapter
51, Verses 20-21)
“Why are you so serious about
God?!”
“Surely, all that is in the
heavens and the earth belongs to
Allah. Certainly Allaah’s
Promise is true. But most of
them know not.”
(The Holy Qur’aan, Chapter
10, Verse 55)
“Why do we need someone to
interfere in our lives, allowing
this and prohibiting that, when
we can decide for ourselves?”
“Say
(to them, O Muhammad):
‘Do you not see what Allaah
has sent down to you for
sustenance? And you have made of
it some things lawful and some
things unlawful.’
Say
(to them, O Muhammad):
‘Has Allaah permitted you (to
do so) or do you invent a lie
against Allaah?”
(The Holy Qur’aan, Chapter
10, Verse 60)
“We should follow the
consensus of the people. Let the
people decide what is best for
mankind…”
“And if you obey most of
those on earth, they will
mislead you far away from
Allaah’s Path. They follow
nothing but conjecture, and they
do nothing but lie.”
(The Holy Qur’aan, Chapter 6,
Verse 116)
“I don’t think God needs to
be reached by one particular
way. There are many ways leading
to Him…”
“And verily, this is my
Straight Path, so follow it, and
follow not (other) paths, for
they will separate you away from
His Path. This He has ordained
for you that you may become of
those who fear and obey Him.”
(The Holy Qur’aan, Chapter 6,
Verse 153)
“Anyone could write a holy
book. People get brainwashed by
it, reverting back to the Stone
Age…”
“And when Our Verses are
recited to them, they say: “We
have heard this
(the Qur’aan);
if we wish we can say the like
of this. This is nothing but the
tales of the ancients.”
(The Holy Qur’aan, Chapter 8,
Verse 31)
“I have my own way of
worshipping God. I don’t need
somebody else to tell me how to
obey Him…”
“Or have they partners with
Allaah, who have instituted for
them a religion which Allaah has
not given permission for?”
(The Holy Qur’aan, Chapter
42, Verse 21)
“I’m not really into
religion. All this talk about
the hereafter is for people who
can’t deal with the realities of
this life!”
“Verily, those who hope not
for their meeting with Us, but
are pleased and satisfied with
the life of the present world,
and those who are heedless of
Our Signs;
Those, their abode will be
the Fire, because of what they
used to earn.
Verily, those who believe
[in the Oneness of Allaah and
what this necessitates],
and do deeds of righteousness,
their Lord will guide them
through their Faith; under them
will flow rivers in the Gardens
of delight
(Paradise).”
(The Holy Qur’aan, Chapter
10, Verse 9)
“There are things I like
about Islam and believe in
myself, but there are other
things I don’t agree with. Why
don’t you adapt your message a
bit more to contemporary
values?”
“And when Our Clear Verses
are recited unto them, those who
hope not for their meeting with
Us, say: ‘Bring us a Qur’aan
other than this, or change it,’
Say
(to them, O Muhammad):
‘It is not for me to change
it on my own accord; I only
follow that which is revealed
unto me. Verily, I fear if I
were to disobey my Lord, the
torment of a Great Day.”
(The Holy Qur’aan, Chapter
10, Verse 15)
“I’m into independent
reasoning. I don’t need to
follow any set religion, because
I’m a humanist. I believe
mankind has the ability to
discover what is right and
wrong…”
“And most of them follow
nothing but conjecture.
Certainly conjecture can be of
no avail against the truth.
Surely, Allaah is All-Aware of
what they do.”
(The Holy Qur’aan, Chapter
10, Verse 36)
“Your understanding of God
seems very strict. Does your God
only punish?”
“Why should Allaah punish you
if you have thanked
(Him)
and have believed in Him. And
Allaah is Ever All-Appreciative
(of good),
All-Knowing.
(The Holy Qur’aan, Chapter 4,
Verse 147)
“I believe that Muhammad was
a Prophet from God, but I follow
Jesus and Moses.”
“Verily, those who disbelieve
in Allah and His Messengers and
wish to make distinction between
Allah and His Messengers saying,
‘We believe in some but reject
others,’ and wish to adopt a way
in between;
They are in truth
disbelievers. And We have
prepared for the disbelievers, a
humiliating torment.
And those who believe in
Allah and His Messengers and
make no distinction between any
of them
(Messengers),
We shall give them their
rewards; and Allaah is Ever
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
(The Holy Qur’aan, Chapter 4,
Verse 152)
“I don’t really believe that
God sends Prophets anyway…”
Surely the one who continually
orders the affairs of the
universe is also capable of
sending prophets who would
inform us about how He wills to
order our lives:
“They did not estimate Allaah
with an estimation due to Him
when they said: “Nothing did
Allaah send down to any human
being
(by inspiration).’
Say to them
(O Muhammad):
‘Who then send down the Book
which Moses brought, a light and
a guidance to mankind which you
(Jews)
have made into
(separate)
papersheets, disclosing
(some of it)
and concealing
(much).
And you
(believers in Allaah and His
Messenger Muhammad),
were taught
(through the Qur’aan)
that which neither you nor
your fathers knew.’
Say
(to them):
“Alaah (sent it down).” Then
leave them to play in their vain
discussions.”
(The Holy Qur’aan, Chapter 6,
Verse 91)
“All this stuff about
submitting yourself completely
to a God that would require this
of mankind… sounds doubtful to
me…”
“Is there a doubt about
Allaah, Creator of the heavens
and the earth?”
(The Holy Qur’aan, Chapter
14, Verse 10)
“Sorry, I’m not convinced…”
“And even if We had sent down
unto them angels, and the dead
had spoken unto them, and We had
gathered together all things
before their very eyes, they
would not have believed unless
Allaah willed; but most of them
behave ignorantly.”
(The Holy Qur’aan, Chapter 6,
Verse 111)
We invite you to become a
Muslim.
