Is Islam The True Religion? by Aliyuminna(m): 8:11am On Feb 23, 2018
Islam is the very call of the Highest Creator to the humble human being to surrender, with his will and power, to the Infinite Power and the Supreme Sovereign.

Islam is the light and the beacon that shows man where to step and how to be safe from falling into the abyss of vice.

Islam is morality clothed with mercy, and mercy clothed with perfection.

Islam is the course that governs life and elevates man above the boundaries of his physical appetites and animalistic whimsical desires that endanger his spirituality and degrade his morality.

Does the sun need proofs to show to man that it is there?

Man can deny the existence of the sun, but it is his own problem and not that of the sun.

Islam is the sun that shines in the corners of man’s life and shows him the way to happiness.

Although Islam stands as clear and bright as the sun, it gives certain signs to those whose hearts are still feeling doubt and those whose hearts are thirsty for truth.

Let’s now jump to the issue of the signs and the evidence standing in support of Islam and they are so many, so we name but a few:

Firstly: Textual Evidence
The evidence includes the texts that came prophesying the advent of Islam and the Prophet of Islam, whether in the previous scriptures or in the Quran; the Book of Islam.

In Deuteronomy 18:18, we find that God spoke to Moses and said to him that He will raise from among their brethren a Prophet like unto him (Moses) and he (the prophet) will speak of God.

In so many other places in the Bible, we will get the names of ‘the Prophet’ in combination with the messiah and the Baptist.

This Prophet is none but Muhammad; the Prophet of Islam.

Also, he is referred to in the Bible as ‘Elijah’ coming from the Arabian Peninsula. There is also a reference to the light coming from the mountains of Pharan.

The textual evidence in the previous books are also referred to in the Quran in the stories of the Jews and Christians and the glad tidings given by Jesus to his people that there will be a final Prophet coming after him whose name will be Ahmad.

In Surah 3 (Aal-Imran), Almighty Allah tells us that He has taken the covenant from all prophets and messengers to believe in this final prophet who comes with the same message that is monotheism, the true message of Allah sent with all prophets and messengers.


Secondly: Logical Evidence


The very message of Jesus and his short stay on earth show that there was a need for another prophet to come settling all issues and showing complete course of guidance for all humans.

This conforms with the saying of Jesus himself that he came not to initiate something new but to fulfill.

The world, before the advent of the Prophet of Islam was in a case of a total disruption and complete disorder.

There were two main superpowers that engaged in a series of wars and fierce fighting, there was no place for the weak; rather, social injustice was spread everywhere and man’s condition went, in terms of morality, to alarming levels.

This unjust chaos and total disruption showed that there was a need for a religion that could re-establish order again.

This was the condition of the world when Islam came with a complete social justice system, rights and equality, illumination and morality.


Thirdly: Other Evidence

There are so many other evidences that Islam is a religion of truth. Among them are the following:

The Quran is the eternal message of Islam and a timeless miracle that no one can produce the like thereof. Arabs, who were masters of linguistic excellence, could not produce the like of the shortest verse of the Quran when they were challenged to do so.
Islam calls for understanding and a deep search in one’s self, in the creation of the heavens and earth and the contemplation in everything around man. Had Islam been a false religion, it would have asked man to cripple his mind and paralyze his intelligence and stop thinking about anything. (see Surahs 2:164, 6:11, and 6:95-100)
Modern science testifies to Islam; the Quran contains lots of scientific facts that were completely unknown at the time of its revelation. They were just discovered recently. This is in itself standing evidence on the truthfulness of the Quran. The Quran gives facts about the life of the fetus in its mother’s womb (23:12-14), the layers of the earth (76:2-3, 65:12), stars and planets, the fall of the rain and lots of other issues that are only known to scientists who are deep in knowledge.Is Islam the True Religion
There were lots of material miracles that were performed and eye-witnessed during the life-time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Among these miracles is the flow of water from between his fingers, the dividing of the moon into two pieces, his speech to a lizard which was able to tell that he is the messenger of Allah besides so many other miracles that were performed and eye-witnessed by his contemporaries.
These are but a few of the many evidences supporting Islam and showing that it is the eternal message of Allah and a religion of truth.

Chairman, abeg lie small small na.....
Was Prophet Muhammed from the bloodline of David?
Even in your way of ridiculing Islam with this false write up, you are making no point, haba.
Thank God Jesus Christ came through a virgin birth, that alone ends any case of argument.
Please stop ridiculing Islam, please stop.

Go down and read your tormented argument of miracles Prophet Muhammad performed again , you are only trying to proof points that never existed.
He didn't even do quarter of that Moses through his obedience to God....

First, you should know that all Prophets ( from Adam to Mohammad; including David and Jesus) are all Allah's prophets and there is no competition as to who perform more miracle and that is not the basis of faith for those who believe and are rightly guided. Allah guide whoever he wishes.
You speak so much about the extraordinary birth of Jesus, what do you say to the being of Adam?
Finally, read the story of Abraham and his children

God made it an extraordinary birth..... Adam wasn't born by any man mind you, he was the first human creation of God.
You were just manipulating things earlier, manipulating what the baptise said, then please read John 1, verse 1-13.
Please speak well of Islam, and don't twist things around

When i read something like this, I just laugh at the religious superiority and desperation just to prove your religion is the true one out of many.

You post from middle east books as evidence of your religion, how very logical! grin
