WHAT IS ISLAM?

Can we find an explanation of the great universe? Is there any convincing interpretation of the secret of existence? We realize that no family can function properly without a responsible head, that no city can prosperously exist without sound administration, and that no state can survive without a leader of some kind. We also realize that nothing comes into being on its own. Moreover, we observe that the universe exists and functions in the most orderly manner, and that it has survived for hundreds of thousand of years. Can we then say that all this is accidental and haphazard? Can we attribute the existence of man and the whole world to mere chance.

Man represents only a very small portion of the great universe. And if he can make plans and appreciate the merits of planning, then his own existence and the survival of the universe must also be a planned policy. This means that there is an extraordinary power to bring things into being and keep them moving in order.

In the world then must be a great force in action to keep everything in order. In the beautiful nature there must be a Great creator who creates the most charming pieces of art produces every thing for a special purpose in life. The deeply enlightened people recognize this creator and call him Allah "God". He is not a man because no man can create or make another man. He is not an animal, nor he is a plant. He is neither an Idol nor is He a statue of any kind because non of these things can make itself or create anything else. He is different from all these things because he is the maker and keeper of them all. The maker of anything must be different from and greater than things which he makes.

There are various ways to know God "ALLAH'' and there are many things to tell about him. The great wonders and impressive marvels of the world are like open books in which we can read about God. Besides, God Himself comes to our aid through the many Messengers and revelations He has sent down to man. These Messengers and revelations tell us everything we need to know about God.

The complete acceptance of the teachings and guidance of God 'Allah' as revealed to His Messengers Muhammad is the religion of Islam. Islam enjoins faith in the oneness and sovereignty of Allah, which makes man aware of meaningfulness of the Universe and of his place in it. This belief frees him from all fears and superstitions by making him conscious of the presence of the Almighty Allah and of man's obligations towards Him. This faith must be expressed and tested in actions, faith alone is not enough. Belief in one God requires that we look upon all humanity as one family under the universal Omnipotence of God the Creator and Nourisher of all. Islam rejects the idea of chosen people, making belief in God and good actions the only way to heaven. Thus, a direct relationship in established with God, without any intercessor.

Islam is not a new religion. It is, in essence, the same message and guidance which Allah revealed to all Prophets. Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ismael, David, Moses and Jesus (PBUT). But the message which was revealed to Prophet Mohammed (PBUT) is Islam in its comprehensive, complete and final form.

The Quran is the last revealed word of Allah and the basic source of Islamic teachings and laws. The Quran deals with the basis of creeds, morality, history of humanity, worship, knowledge, wisdom, God-man relationship, and human relationship in all aspects. Comprehensive teaching on which, can be built sound systems of social justice, economics, politics, legislation, jurisprudence, law and international relations, are important contents of the Quran. Hadith, the teachings, sayings and actions of Prophet Mohammed (PBUT), meticulously reported and collected by his devoted companions. Explained and elaborated the Quranic verses.

THE FUNDAMENTAL ARTICLES OF FAITH IN ISLAM

The true faithful Muslim believes in the following Principal articles of faith:-
  1. He believes in One God 'Allah', Supreme and Eternal, Infinite and Mighty, Merciful and Compassionate, Creator and Provider.
  2. He believes in all Messengers of God without any discrimination among them. Every known nation had a warner or Messenger from God. They were chosen by God to teach mankind and deliver His divine message. The Quran mentions the name of twenty five of them. Among them Mohammad stands as the last Messenger and the crowning glory of the foundation of Prophethood.
  3. Muslin believes in all scriptures and revelations of God. They were the guiding light which the Messengers received to show their respected peoples the Right Path of God. In the Quran a special reference is made to the books of Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus. But long before the revelations has been lost or corrupted. The only authentic and complete book of God in existence in the Quran.
  4. The true Muslim believes in the Angels of Allah. They are purely spiritual and splendid beings whose nature requires on food, drink or sleep. They spend their days and nights in the worship of God.
  5. Muslim believes in the last Day of Judgement. This world will come to an end someday, and the dead will rise to stand for their final and fair trial. People with good records will be generously, rewarded and warmly welcomed to the Heaven of Allah, and those with bad records will be punished and cast into Hell.
  6. Muslim believes in the timeless knowledge of God and His power to plan and execute His planes and nothing could happen in His Kingdom against His will. His knowledge and power are in action at all times and command over His creation. He is wise and merciful, and whatever He does must have a meaningful purpose. If this is established in our mind and hearts, we should accept with good faith all that He does, although we may fail to under stand it fully, or think it is bad.
THE FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM

Faith without actions arid practice is a dead end, as far as Islam is concerned. Faith by nature is very sensitive and can be most effective. When it is not out of practice or out of use, it quickly loses its liveliness and motivation power.
There are five pillars of Islam:

  1. The declaration of faith: To bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Mohammad (PBUH) is His Messenger to all human beings till the Day of Judgment. The Prophethood of Mohammad obliges the Muslims to follow, His exemplary life as a model.
  2. Prayers: Daily, prayers are offered five times a day as a duty towards Allah. They strengthen and enliven the belief in Allah and inspire man to a higher morality. They purify the heart and prevent temptation towards wrong - doings and evil.
  3. Fasting the month of Ramadan. The Muslims during the month of Ramadan not only abstain from food, drink and sexual intercourse from dawn to sunset but also sincerity and devotion. It develops a sound social conscience, patience, unselfishness and will - Power.
  4. Zakkah: The literal and simple meaning of Zakkah is purity. The technical meaning of this word designates the annual amount in kind or coin which a Muslim with means must distribute among the rightful beneficiaries. But the religious and spiritual significance of Zakkah is much deeper and more lively. So it has humanitarian and sociopolitical values.
  5. Hajj (Pilgrimage to Makkah): It is to be performed once in a lifetime, if one can afford it financially and physically.

So? You don't even glorify imams, saints, etc. You glorify a book. Isn't that in violation of the second commandment?

Glorifying the Book of God :) the Quran) is a glorification of God Himself, as is glorifying His House and His rites also some sort of glorifying God.

While glorifying the graves of saints and imams is something else than glorifying the House of God :) the mosque);
the mosque is the house of God worshipping, while the shrine is the grave of the servant, the sanctification of which will be a sort of sharing the imams and saints with God.

Well, you go ahead and glorify something that is born of the imagination. I will continue to see things in a more rational and realistic light.

This is only your asserting of some words that are the falsehood.

It is according to the Quran 18: 56

وَيُجَادِلُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِالْبَاطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوا بِهِ الْحَقَّ وَاتَّخَذُوا آيَاتِي وَمَا أُنذِرُوا هُزُوًا

The explanation:
(But those who disbelieve do only dispute with falsehood to disprove the truth, and they took – My signs [of revelation] and what they are warned of – as a jest.)

Does it really exist or not? "To be or not to be, that is the question.

I died and came back. Actually, the question above is for everyone to answer. That's one of the main purpose of this planet earth. We have a choice to make, we have a question to answere, which is a religious question demanding a religious answer. Science is futile about this. So it's all of a religious question that everyone will have to face, and will have to answer religiously. That's the deal.

We are bound by our living backgroud, which is a 3-D spatial environment. Quantum physics and especially String theory give some hints about the multiple-dimensional space concept. While the first sentence of the Bible said, "...God created heavens and earth...".

So from my reasoning, body, soul and spirit can well be a combination of substances from various dimensional spaces, with each as a part-taker responsible for our behaviours in our 3-D realm. So can one still think without the spirit and soul? No, he can't. In such a multiple dimensional environment, death could mean that the part-taker body will remain in our 3D realm. Spirit/soul will remain in another space named Hades.

With the assumption that we are made by our Creator, soul may thus be so created that it can carry our senses and consciouness, it can work without the body in our realm. It is a living soul when combined with the body. Resurrection simply means a re-combination of the parts or part-takers.

Though this is a religious assumption (based on my own experience), I don't think that anyone can refute it or rule out its possibility scientifically.


To give you a little bit more information acquired from my experience, I saw my own spirit which is in a shape of a flying dove (when viewed from a short distance, it must be). And I suspect that I experience what telepathy could mean;

Telepathy requires another spatial dimension outside our 3D realm to work at all. When our soul leaves abit away from our body, you can hear other souls/spirits talking. To leave further away from the body, you can perceive the existence of another space (Hades).

Normally, you will hear chatting in much lower voices, which means that the chatting doesn't concern you. On the other hand, if you hear a much louder voice, you will know automatically that someone is trying to talk to you. The strange thing is, it is always in your first language. It is always in your first language and in the form of voice - voice which is carried out by air-vibration in our realm.

That's my speculation during my death, you may call it delusion all you want. My experience is not just an NDE, but rather a death experience followed by a supernatural experience continuing after my coming back, it last for around 45 minutes under the witness of 4 doctors and other nurses.

I died and came back.

Did you then...

How exactly did you die?

Actually, the question above is for everyone to answer. That's one of the main purpose of this planet earth.

I disagree...

The 25 Most Important Questions in the History of the Universe

We have a choice to make, we have a question to answere, which is a religious question demanding a religious answer. Science is futile about this. So it's all of a religious question that everyone will have to face, and will have to answer religiously. That's the deal.

Anybody can answer the questions, but only those able to show by example and logic that their answers are true will be taken seriously...

Which brings us to...

That's my speculation during my death, you may call it delusion all you want. My experience is not just an NDE, but rather a death experience followed by a supernatural experience continuing after my coming back, it last for around 45 minutes under the witness of 4 doctors and other nurses.

A delusion is probably close to the mark...

At warmer temperatures, normal recovery can occur if oxygen is deprived for less than five to seven minutes. But when a person is deprived of oxygen for 12 to 14 minutes, it almost always results in brain damage or death.

I disagree...

The point is, do you realize that all your answers are based on your own bielief?

So your belief is never more authenticated than mine, and vice versa, of course.

A delusion is probably close to the mark...

Your this belief is even more amazing.

The doctors on site said otherwise, while you are not a doctor (yep, it's my belief) and not on site watched the scenario.


So although you might not consently realize it, it actually demonstrates that;

We have a choice to make, we have a question to answere, which is a religious question demanding a religious answer. Science is futile about this. So it's all of a religious question that everyone will have to face, and will have to answer religiously. That's the deal.

death could mean that the part-taker body will remain in our 3D realm. Spirit/soul will remain in another space named Hades.

Did you go to Hades?

With the assumption that we are made by our Creator, soul may thus be so created that it can carry our senses and consciouness, it can work without the body in our realm.
It is a living soul when combined with the body.
Resurrection simply means a re-combination of the parts or part-takers.

To give you a little bit more information acquired from my experience, I saw my own spirit which is in a shape of a flying dove (when viewed from a short distance, it must be).

How could you see your own soul? Was that in the mirror?

When our soul leaves abit away from our body, you can hear other souls/spirits talking.

To leave further away from the body, you can perceive the existence of another space (Hades).

Normally, you will hear chatting in much lower voices, which means that the chatting doesn't concern you.
On the other hand, if you hear a much louder voice, you will know automatically that someone is trying to talk to you.
The strange thing is, it is always in your first language. It is always in your first language and in the form of voice - voice which is carried out by air-vibration in our realm.

Did you know what was your first language?

a death experience followed by a supernatural experience continuing after my coming back, it last for around 45 minutes under the witness of 4 doctors and other nurses.

Conclusion:
It could be some sort of temporary death or some kind of deep unconciousness, when the soul will depart from the body, but return again; but your experience if it is true (I mean you were not deluded) then it has been mixed with some confusion and some precedented explanations which aren't correct.

There is nothing as your first language or second language, neither is your first and second life: there is only one material life followed by the next spiritual life, and that's all.
Nothing like the transmigration of souls is mentioned in any of the heavenly books nor by any prophet and apostle; it is only some invention; and it is not man that teaches God what the religion is, but it is God the Creator that teaches and instructs man; and He did not tell us in any revelation about such transmigration of souls.
There is no transmigration of souls

It seems that you misunderstood the point. Death itself is a rather a destined process, where you will feel what I said.

Death is a destined process decreed by God according to a stated hour of man's death.
This is in the Quran 3: 145
وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفْسٍ أَنْ تَمُوتَ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ الله كِتَابًا مُّؤَجَّلاً
The explanation:
(It is not for any soul to die, save by God's leave, and at a "term decreed" [and] appointed.)

Now, tell me in summary what man will feel when he dies.

In one of the articals you have posted it states
http://man-after-death.site.io

Quote: the soul will remain alive in the world of souls: eating, drinking, seeing, hearing, perceiving and feeling the pleasure and pain


i find this hard to believe as pain surly requires a nervous system to function ...???

quandary121, you may find it hard to believe, but evidently that is what it says in Koran. Apparently Heaven is a place where people will be eating, drinking, merrymaking endlessly.

That is why the terrorists like Mohammed Atta are promised 72 virgins when they go to Heaven. If only souls exist in Heaven, where would the need be for 72 virgins?

Most of us are frightened of dying because we don't know what it means to live.We want to know the truth about reincarnation, we want proof of the survival of the soul, we listen to the assertion of clairvoyants and to the conclusions of psychical research, but we never ask, never, how to live.

You said a mouthful, China. Most people are indeed afraid of what will happen after they die.

They not only want the proof of survival of the soul, but they also want the proof that they themselves will go to Heaven. If you ask religious people, be they Christians, Muslims, etc., they all think they are going to go to Heaven; somebody else will go to Hell, but not them. Thus, Christians think Muslims will go to Hell; Muslims think Christians will go to Hell and so on.

People are seeking assurance of an eternal afterlife where they will be happy and contented for the eternity.

It is all nonsense, of course. Unless somebody can provide proof to the contrary, what we see is all there is.

Why should anyone object to the hockey or the golf [or swimming like Mao Tse-Tung who swam before his death to prove he was strong and active]?


And you have the choice to use your minutes and hours of the 24 hours; because you think that everything will end, and that man will at last become dust!

Although you will discover, when you will then have no opportunity to return to this World, that the atheist was wrong, and that man does not disappear from existence by his death; but only he will be transmitted to another spiritual, not material, world.

But how can anyone object to something that she did not read and will say this is wrong and will despise the Glorious Quran, and she did not study it; and say this post is wrong when she did not read it?

This is in the Quran 76: 27

إِنَّ هَؤُلَاء يُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُونَ وَرَاءهُمْ يَوْمًا ثَقِيلًا

The explanation:
(Surely these [associaters] love the immediate [World],
and leave be behind them a heavy day [after their death.] )




I'm only interested in non fiction, don't waste my time on fantasy, and I don't need to read
a whole bunch of bible or whatever quotes, it is all about believing in some god, and I don't
believe in any gods, so why would I want to read about them.

China, I believe in what you say 'wholly', all the energy put into what will happen after we die,
and as they are doing that, their life is going by, each minute, hour, and day, and they don't
seem to see the value in 'our lives on this earth', what a waste.
Oh my 'glorious' earth, glorious glorious glorious, I'm so tired of that word.
I guess they have to say that, over and over, it keeps them in good standing, with, um who?
