The Grace of Islam

Just look around you, contemplate the creation that exists, what’s out there in space: what a magnificent universe it is indeed. Do not go too far, meditate upon yourself and certainly, therein, you will discover signs of a wonderful creation and that of a tremendous universe. Undoubtedly, the creator of this great universe must be One and Unique. Otherwise, the harmonious order of existence would have turned into total chaos. Thus, it stands to reason that we submit to this Creator, approach nearer to Him, and learn His commandments that abound in wisdom and benevolence.

It's a well-known fact man is a rational being, incessantly thinking about himself and the things that exist in his surroundings. He never gives up the habit of posing critical questions such as, "Where did I come from?" "Why am I here?" and "Where am I going?" As a traveller among other travellers, he should know where he is heading, because life is a longer and more deserving journey.

You cannot find a sufficiently convincing answer but in Islam, as it introduces man to his Creator, clarifies the right path that brings him closer to his Lord and explains what's going to happen after death. This guarantees happiness and tranquility for a Muslim.

Verily, Islam is a religion that is preserved forever. The Noble Quran, with which Islam has a distinguished trait is incomparable to that of any other book or scripture. Up until now, all the teachings of the Prophet, may Allah exalt his mention, are preserved and intact. In addition, Islam is a complete and comprehensive statute which includes every affair and interest of mankind. It urges him to seek every beneficial and useful knowledge. It enjoins only good and forbids only evil. Moreover, it is simple in its laws, spreading justice and love among people.

Upon becoming a Muslim, one is completely forgiven for all past sin. No matter how evil such sins may have been. Indeed, Islam expiates them all and one becomes just as if born once again. Moreover, Allah will accept and preserve the good deeds, like charity, one used to offer to Allah before embracing Islam. Certainly, Allah, the Most Exalted, has blessed this religion by increasing the reward of a good deed many times over.
