The Objective
Reasoning and The Convincing Islam
Muhammad, the prophet of Islam followed the
footsteps of earlier prophets like Abraham, Moses,
Jacob and Jesus. He was a descendant of Abraham,
and the core principles of Islam are those taught
by all prophets from Noah to Jesus. All prophets
before Muhammad focused on a particular nation or
residence, however, because Muhammad’s message
was the final call from God, he was sent to the
all mankind. Human beings are all created and
meant for one and only one reason, to worship God.
The collective mental and spiritual ability of all
humans cannot construct a single conclusive
approach to understand and praise God, as each one
of our senses has its limitations and boundaries,
their combined efforts will also have impassable
circumference. There we need above human guidance
and its here that we get prophets who themselves
receive revelations from God.
defenders of
Islam even against the Arabs who brought it in the
first place! Indeed the great scholars of Islam
were mainly from non-Arab Muslims who used to
travel from India, central Asia and Spain to Mecca
and Medina to teach the Arabs about Islam!
A message brought by an illiterate prophet,
Muhammad, got the biggest share of audience in the
market of theologies and beliefs and now convinces
1.3 billion people around the world.
The prevailing atheist believe of our time which
avoids to mention the word “God” in any stage
of our life is the result of bewilderment in an
array of manly philosophies that tried to find an
answer to the reason of our existence through
presumption and analogy. The conflict between the
religious men and the scientists in Europe few
centuries ago made the scientists seek guidance in
the theological ideas of philosophers, when the
contradicting philosophical ideas seemed
inconceivable, they turned back to their
laboratories, looked in the scientific
experiments, through microscopes, telescopes and
hypothesis and when they could not see, smell,
hear or touch any god, heaven or hell, their
answer was clear… there was no god. This atheist
attitude justified some scientists to formulate
answers for any question arising from the nature
or space and it is always taken as new
“Scientific theory” as long as it doesn’t
mention God. But where are the limitations of our
senses? Do we have to have an answer for every
question? Do we have to understand every event or
object in the space?
There was a time when witchcrafts had the answers
for everything in the life and space through
astrology and palm reading, now scientists have
every answer through their theories and
microscopes.
When our comprehension comes to its boundary, we
can only get further by following the prophets.
Contrary to the scientists and astrologists who
mainly convince particular groups of society, the
richness and simplicity of prophetic knowledge
appeals to people from all walks of life, That is
why prophets have diverse followers in terms of
intellect, age, colour, skill, literacy, etc.
