God Prescribed Islam
As ‘Deen’ (Way of Life/Religion)
For Mankind
No Other Religion
Will Be Accepted
By Almighty Allah
(By: M. Javed
Naseem)
Allah mentions it in the Holy Quran that His true servants
are ONE nation (Ummat-an-Wahidah) only. The ‘Deen’ (way of life or religion) is
for Allah and there is only one ‘Deen’ (religion) – Islam. Islam was the Deen
(religion) of Abraham and all the prophets or messengers of Allah that followed
Abraham. Every other religion (with its fancy names) was created by man under
the influence of Shaitan (Devil), as a revolt against God’s decree and to suit
human behavior. Allah will not accept any other religion from mankind except
Islam and He made it very clear in the Quran:
وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ ٱلإِسْلاَمِ
دِيناً
فَلَنْ يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِى
ٱلآخِرَةِ
مِنَ ٱلْخَاسِرِينَ
“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it
will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter
he will be one of the losers.”
(al-Quran 3:85)
The statement is loud and clear. It does not need any further
explanation or sophisticated (or confusing) interpretation. It is simple and
self-explanatory. This is the religion all believers must adopt and apply to
their lives completely.
Islam is a ‘Deen’ – a complete system, a way of life. And it
is the only way of life if you are seeking salvation and trying to escape from
the Hellfire. And believe me that there are no short-cuts to it. You need to put your trust in Him and do the right/correct things, as per His instructions, and you'll get through. But first give Him His due, and to His creation (human beings) their due. There is no escape.
Allah
commands all believers to stay the course (being Muslims):
يٰأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ
تُقَاتِهِ
وَلاَ تَمُوتُنَّ إِلاَّ وَأَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُونَ
“O
you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be
feared,
and die not except in a state of Islam.”
(al-Quran
3:102)
It’s Islam from the beginning to the end! There is no other
‘Deen’ (or religion) in this world that is ‘valid’ or ‘authentic’ in the eyes
of God. Islam is the “Religion of Allah” and that was the religion of all the
prophets or messengers. Human beings changed the contents of that religion and
named it after the prophets/messengers or other humans.
These changes/modifications were made in every era, thus
paving the way for new sects or new religions. It is still happening today and
Devil’s Friends are trying their best to change the face of Islam and make it
suitable to them (and call it ‘secular’ or moderate).
========================
The best way to
revert to Islam is
to revert to the Quran
as the Quran
contains true
guidance, blessings
and cure of all human
ailments.
We cannot claim to be God’s servants or so-called ‘children
of God’ and keep disobeying God. His commands are our obligations and we cannot
ignore them. Allah says in Surah (chapter) Aal-e-Imran, verse No.83:
أَفَغَيْرَ دِينِ ٱللَّهِ يَبْغُونَ وَلَهُ
أَسْلَمَ مَنْ فِى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلأَرْضِ
طَوْعاً وَكَرْهاً وَإِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ
“Do
they seek for other than the Religion of Allah?
while
all creatures in the heavens and on earth have,
willing
or unwilling, bowed to His Will (accepted
Islam),
and to Him shall they all be brought back.”
(al-Quran
3:83)
Islam was, still is, and will always
be the norm of heavens. That is the only Deen (religion) Allah Himself created
and prescribed; and that is the only religion that will be accepted by Him. Nothing
else will be accepted. He removes all doubts and tells us clearly in the Holy
Quran:
وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ ٱلإِسْلاَمِ دِيناً فَلَنْ
يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ
وَهُوَ فِى
ٱلآخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلْخَاسِرِينَ
“If
anyone desires a religion other than Islam
(submission
to Allah), never will it be accepted
of
him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks
of
those who have lost (all spiritual good).”
(al-Quran 3:85)
Here is another verse from the Holy Quran to support this
argument that it was always Islam and it always will be. Anything else is
man-made.
إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلإِسْلاَمُ
“Verily, the religion
with Allah is Islam … ”
(al-Quran 3:19)

"Truly the Religion with Allah is Islam"
ReplyDeleteAllah said,
(إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِندَ اللَّهِ الإِسْلَـمُ)
(Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam.) Allah states that there is no religion accepted with Him from any person, except Islam. Islam includes obeying all of the Messengers until Muhammad who finalized their commission, thus closing all paths to Allah except through Muhammad . Therefore, after Allah sent Muhammad , whoever meets Allah following a path other than Muhammad's, it will not be accepted of him. In another Ayah, Allah said,
(وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الإِسْلَـمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ)
(And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him) –(3:85).
In this Ayah ﴿3:19﴾, Allah said, asserting that the only religion accepted with Him is Islam,
(إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِندَ اللَّهِ الإِسْلَـمُ)
(Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam.)
Allah then states that those who were given the Scripture beforehand divided in the religion after Allah sent the Messengers and revealed the Books to them providing them the necessary proofs to not do so. Allah said,
(وَمَا اخْتَلَفَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَـبَ إِلاَّ مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيًا بَيْنَهُمْ)
(Those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) did not differ except out of rivalry, after knowledge had come to them.) meaning, some of them wronged others. Therefore, they differed over the truth, out of envy, hatred and enmity for each other. This hatred made some of them defy those whom they hated even if they were correct.
Allah then said,
(وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِآيَـتِ اللَّهِ)
(And whoever disbelieves in the Ayat of Allah) meaning, whoever rejects what Allah sent down in His Book,
(فَإِنَّ اللَّهِ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ)
(then surely, Allah is Swift in reckoning.) Allah will punish him for his rejection, reckon him for his denial, and torment him for defying His Book. Thereafter, Allah said.
(فَإنْ حَآجُّوكَ)
(So if they dispute with you (Muhammad )) so if they argue with you about Tawhid,
(فَقُلْ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِىَ للَّهِ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِ)
(Say: "I have submitted myself to Allah (in Islam), and (so have) those who follow me'') meaning, Say, `I have made my worship sincere for Allah Alone without partners, rivals, offspring or companion,
(وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِ)
(and those who follow me) who followed my religion and embraced my creed.' In another Ayah, Allah said,
(قُلْ هَـذِهِ سَبِيلِى أَدْعُو إِلَى اللَّهِ عَلَى بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَاْ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِى)
(Say (O Muhammad ): "This is my way; I invite unto Allah with sure knowledge, I and whosoever follows me...'') -(12:108).
