The Light of The Truth
WHAT IS LIFE? Man’s existence in this world and the creation of this
entire universe are not mere accidents or products of a fortuitous
nature. This universe, every single atom of it, manifests and leads us
to the realization of a Loving, Merciful and All-powerful Creator.
Without a Creator, nothing can exist. Every single soul knows that he
is existing and that his existence is dependent upon a Creator he
knows for sure that he cannot create him self. Therefore it is his
duty to know his master, the Creator.
MANKIND: Man is a unique creature. God establishes man as His
representative or deputy to govern over all other creatures in this
world. He is endowed with the faculty of REASON, which sets him apart
from all other animals. Together with this faculty to discriminate and
discern, man is given the freedom (free-will) to choose for himself a
way of life worthy of his position as God’s representative or to fall
lower than the lowest of all animals or creations. Man is born pure
and sinless and is given the choice to do righteous deeds or indulge
in sins.
DIVINE GUIDANCE: The Creator, out of His abundant Love and Mercy for
mankind has not left us in darkness to discover the right path by
trial and error alone. Coupled with our intellectual capability to
reason, our Creator bestowed upon us DIVINE GUIDANCE that outlines the
Criterion for TRUTH, knowledge, as well as the reality of our
existence in this world and the Hereafter.
REVELATIONS: From the beginning of mankind, our Creator sent prophets
to convey His REVELATION and to invite human beings to the path of
true PEACE and OBEDIENCE to the ONE TRUE GOD. This is ISLAM. This
message is conveyed towards successive generations of man through the
different prophets, all inviting mankind to the same path. However all
the earlier messages or revelations from God were distorted by people
of later generations. As a result, pure Revelation from our Creator
was adulterated and polluted with myths, superstitions, idol worship
and irrational philosophical ideologies. The religion of God in a
sense was lost in a plethora of religions. Human history is a
testament of man’s drift between light and darkness, but God out of
His Abundant Love for mankind has not forsaken us.
FINAL REVELATIONS: When mankind was in the depths of the Dark Ages,
our Creator sent His final Messenger, prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon
him) to redeem humanity with the final revelation which represents the
ultimate and permanent source of guidance for the whole world.
CRITERIA FOR TRUTH: The following criteria can best serve as a gauge
to find out the authenticity of the last revelation (the Qur’an) as
words of God:
1. Rational Teachings: Since our Creator bestowed reason and intellect
upon us, it is our duty to use it to distinguish the TRUTH from
falsehood. True, undistorted revelation from God must be rational and
can be reasoned out by all unbiased minds.
2. Perfection: Since our Creator is all perfect, His revelation must
be perfect and accurate, free from mistakes, omissions, interpolations
and multiplicity of versions. It should be free from contradictions in
its narration.
3. No Myths or Superstitions: True revelation is free from myths or
superstitions that degrade the dignity of our Creator or man himself.
4. Scientific: Since our Creator is the Creator of all knowledge, true
revelation is scientific and can withstand the challenge of science at
all times.
5. Factual Prophecy: Our Creator is the Knower of the past, present
and future. Thus His prophecies in His revelation will be fulfilled as
prophesied.
Inimitable By Man:
True revelation is infallible and cannot be imitated by man. God’s
true revelation is a Living miracle, an open book challenging all
mankind to see and prove for themselves its authenticity or veracity.
