Why do you choose Islam?

Islam is a religion. Muslim is the one who submitting his heart to the almighty god.. And believe that there is only one god that worth to be worshiping. And a Muslim believes that Muhammad is the messanger and the servant of Allah.

So, why am i believing that there is God existing and why do i believe that there is only 1 God?

To those who are atheis, you should learn about all the religious books that exist in this world. Try to know the content! And u ll find the QURAN is the most reliable book that containing the proven scientific facts. Try to read the QURAN.. You will see there are verses about the creation of human beings just like what we ve being taught in biology class. There are verses about the process of how rain is produce, also about astronomy, geology, and many other scientic facts that only proven now but had been written there for hundreds and thousands year back! Who do you think is the author of the holy QURAN? It is impossible to believe if it was written by a normal human beings.

There must be a creator that created us and everything that knows all the facts before a scientist can find that and to prove it right. He is the author of the book!

So what? When i know there is a creator, i know there is a creator who creates me, i might want to know how should i live.. Just like someone invent a new gadget, if i buy it, i must want to know how to operate the gadget or the machine! Where do i refer to? A mannual ofcourse..
What happen when i dont read and follow the manual? I will operate it wrongly as i want and at the end most probably, the machine will break out.. Because the one who knows about the gadget is the one who invent it.. And all the instructions are there in the mannual.

So, in our situation, our creator is Allah and the mannual we have is the QURAN. The message in the QURAN is send from Allah to Muhammad, the messenger and the servant of Allah. How do i believe that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah? Because the QURAN explains everything... I trust my creator and i believe in His words..as i read the verses in the QURAN, i get to know Islam better.

Some says, Islam is a very strict religion! It is so hard to follow the commands in Islam..
Why must we pray? Why must Muslims need to cover their bodies? Why cant we have pork? Why cant Muslims have alcohol? Why Muslim can only eat slaughted meats? Aren't those all are very hard to follow? It is very forcing.. And if Muslims dont follow, Allah will punish them and Allah might send them to the hell fire.. why is Allah so cruel? They says Allah is kind but why is it when we do something wrong, Allah gets angry very easily? A lord should be so powerful that no one can affect Him.. But in Islam, we need to keep on praising Him.. Why?

Wow, You seems so unhappy with Islam huh? Okay.. Firstly,
Good things are never easy.. :)

All the commands from Allah is for us.. Not for Him. For example, a doctor,A specialist doctor, asking you to take this and that medicine, asking You to not consume this and that, is it for your good or for his good? You of course  He ask you to do so many things and dont do so many fun things.. It is for your own good.. A specialist knows whats good for you.. Because he learnt bout that so deeply. That is a human being, that can be wrong sometimes.. How about a creator? He definitely knows every single thing about His creations. So, where that doubts all comes from?

For example, why do Muslims pray? There are actually so many benefits of praying scientifically, biologically, physically and logically.. Lets take the simplest one.. Praying is a way that we are taking few minutes to stand facing Allah, to praise Him? Who need that praise? Even if we dont praise Allah, it wont gives any harm to Him.. HE IS THE MOST POWERFUL THE WAY HE IS, ALWAYS! we who benefits from that praising to Allah.. By praising Allah, we know, that we have someone one to rely on when the whole world goes against you! When we are in fear, Allah is the reason for is to be brave! We knows, no one can either harm you or benefits you, Allah the power if ownes by Allah! Also, as We r having the strong believe that Allah is the best planner, we dont give up in live very easily! We trust Allah knows best, there are always reasons behinde every that happens. Why so upset then? :)

 Allah is the source of strength. And you know Allah will reward you for doing good, arent you ll be motivated to do good things? By that, u ll be a good human being, and if everyone is like you, arent the world becoming peace? Indeed prayers keep you from doing bad things. Because you know Allah hate it when You do it and u know that Allah is watching you! :)

That is only 1 benefit of performing prayer. There are to0 many benefits to discuss on the reason why Allah command us to do something and prohibit us from doing something.. Just do it as the Allah's commands are always for our own good even if we dont realizing it and,, Keep on learning! :)

ALLAH LOVES US VERY MUCH. It is just we dont realize it..

Huh? No he dont? Because he said he ll give punishment to those dont follow His commands?

Dear you,
I beg you went to school. I believe you know that if you answer wrong in an examination, you ll get cross and your marks will be deducted. Why do the teachers Do that? Is it because they are too cruel purposely want to give you low marks and to make you unhappy?

Ofcourse not! Its becoz the teacher wants to motivate you make sure that you are doing things right, your teacher can always gives you a tick even if its wrong, give you high grades even you are actually not performing well in the exams. But the teacher dont do so. Becoz if he does, you wont trying so hard to study and do revisions to understand the topics. It is all to make sure u r doing things right.. For your own good.

If Allah says "it is okay to commit murder, I wont punish you", what do you think the Whole world is becoming? It is not Becoz Allah is cruel to punish us into the hell fire.. It is Becoz to make you fear and think for times before you do something bad.

So, Islam is not causing problems to the humanity but the solution to the problems of humanity. Actually.

May Allah protect us from going to the wrong path.. May Allah forgives our sins..may Allah gives hidayah to the nonmuslims. May Allah Grant us jannah.
