Description:<\/strong> One persons reasons for accepting Islam in relation to statements made by certain renowned individuals.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

No other religion professed by a large community have I found so comprehensible and encouraging.\u00a0 There seems no better way towards tranquility of mind and contentment in life, no greater promise for the future after death.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The human being is part of a whole; man cannot claim more than being just a particle of creation in its magnificent perfection.\u00a0 As such, he can only fulfill his purpose of living by carrying out his function in relating himself to the whole and to other living parts.\u00a0 It is the harmonious relationship between the parts and the whole that makes life purposeful, that can bring it nearest to perfection, that helps a human being to achieve contentment and happiness.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What place does religion occupy in this relationship between Creator and creation? \u00a0Here are some people\u2019s opinions on religion.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA man\u2019s religion is the chief fact with regard to him; the thing a man does practically believe … the thing a man does practically lay to heart, and know for certain, concerning his vital relations to this Universe, and his duty and destiny there … that is religion.\u201d (Carlyle Heroes and Hero-worship)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cReligion is the sense of ultimate reality of whatever meaning a man finds in his own existence or the existence of anything else.\u201d (G. K. Chesterton, Come To Think of It)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cReligion a daughter of hope and fear explaining to ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.\u201d (Ambrose Bierce, The Devil\u2019s Dictionary)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe body of all true religion consists to be sure, in obedience to the will of the Sovereign of the world, in a confidence in His declarations, and in imitation of His perfection.\u201d (Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAll religion relates to life, and the life of religion is to do good.\u201d (Swedenborg, Doctrine of Life)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery man, either to his terror or consolation, has some sense of religion.\u201d (James Harrington, Oceana)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At one time or another every human being is confronted with the Unknown, Incomprehensible, with the purpose of his existence.\u00a0 Questioning himself he creates a belief, a conviction — \u2018Religion\u2019 in its widest sense.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why do I consider Islam as the most perfect religion?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

First and foremost, it acquaints us with the Whole, the Creator:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful; Say: He, God, is one, God is He on Whom all depend; He begets not, nor is He begotten; and there is none similar to Him.\u201d (Quran 112:1-4)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo God is your return and He is Possessor over all things<\/span>.\u201d (Quran 11:4)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Again and again throughout the Quran we are reminded of the Oneness of the Creator, \u201cIndivisible\u201d, \u201cEternal\u201d, \u201cInfinite\u201d, \u201cAlmighty\u201d, \u201cAll-Knowing\u201d, the \u201cAll Just\u201d, the \u201cHelper\u201d, the \u201cMerciful\u201d, the \u201cCompassionate.\u201d\u00a0 So the Whole becomes a reality; again and again we are asked to establish a satisfactory relationship between Him and us;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cKnow that God gives life to the earth after its death.\u00a0 We have made messages clear to you that you may understand<\/span>.\u201d (Quran 57:17)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSay I seek refuge with the Nourisher of mankind.<\/span>\u201d (Quran 114:1)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One might argue that in order to recognize and believe in God and to live happily in a community, it is necessary to believe in Divine messages.\u00a0 Does not a father guide his children? \u00a0Does he not organize his family\u2019s life so that it may live together harmoniously?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Islam claims to be the only true religion that rehabilitates the truth of its predecessors.\u00a0 It claims that the guidance provided by the Quran is clear, comprehensible and reasonable.\u00a0 By guiding our way towards achievement of a satisfactory relationship between the Creator and the created, it brings about a co-operation between physical and spiritual forces enabling us to equalize internal and external forces in order to be at peace within ourselves – the most important factor to establish a harmonious state between one living part and another and an important condition towards our striving for perfection.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Christianity stresses the spiritual side of life; it teaches a love that puts a heavy burden of responsibility upon every Christian.\u00a0 The perfect love is doomed to failure if its achievement does not lie within the reach of human nature and contradicts reason and understanding.\u00a0 Only someone who has a deep knowledge of human conflicts and combines it with sympathy, understanding and a sense of responsibility may come near to the perfection of the Christian principle – and, even, then, he will have to bury his reason with his love.\u00a0 S.T. Coleridge says in his Aids To Reflection: \u201cHe who begins by loving Christianity better than Truth will proceed by loving his own sect of Church better than Christianity, and end in loving himself better than all.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Islam teaches us to respect God, to submit to His laws entitling and encouraging us to use our reason as well as our emotions of love and understanding.\u00a0 The commandments of the Quran, the message of God for His creatures, regardless of race, nation or social standard:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSay: O people, the Truth has indeed come to you from your Lord; so whoever goes aright, goes aright only for the good of his own soul; and whoever errs, errs only against it.\u00a0 And I am not a custodian over you.<\/span>\u201d (Quran 10:108)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

No other religion professed by a large community have I found so comprehensible and encouraging.\u00a0 There seems no better way towards tranquility and contentment in life, no greater promise for the future after death.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
