Rational Islam

  INTRODUCTION TAWHID and RISALAT are the most important aspects, upon which the entire religion of Islam rests. Every person who wishes to be a part of Islam is required for him/her to utter the declaration of faith (SHAHADAH الشَّهَادَةُ ); the concept of Tawhid is the first part of this declaration. أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ Translated as: I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah (the God), and I bear witness that Muhammad ﷺ is His slave/servant/worshipper and Messenger of Allah (the God). The first part of the statement/declaration appears in some different form but has the same basic meaning ( لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّٰهُ ‎ ) about 30 times in the Quran, such as Quran 47:19 Surah Muhammad - 1-38 - Quran.com and the second part of this declaration is also mentioned in the Quran is some different form but having the same meaning ( مُّحَمَّدٌۭ رَّسُولُ ٱللَّهِ ) such as Quran 48:29 Surah Al-Fath - 1-...

  Allah SWT has kept Muhammad SAW together in every good deed. Muhammad is mentioned somewhere in every worship. ‘Kalima Shahadat’ cannot be completed without the testimony of His prophet hood. ‘Prayers’ are incomplete without sending blessings upon Him. ‘Azan’ cannot be completed without the testimony of His prophet hood. The entire Qur'an was revealed to Him, addressing directly Him. Hajj and other aspects of Islam are acceptable only by following His Sunnah This shows that in every worship, Allah SWT has instructed us to mention Muhammad SAW. Our worship is not completed if skip the mention of Muhammad SAW. If someone wants to build a direct relation with Allah SWT, which is different from the teaching of Prophet Muhammad SAW, his deeds will not be accepted. The only way to Allah is the way that Muhammad SAW guided us. By following His footsteps, we can save ourselves from the hellfire and get the rewards of the hereafter. It is required for every human being to accept M...

  Similar to all the books in the world, Al Qur’an has also an Author, and we Muslims believe it to be Allah SWT. Most of the non-Muslims do not accept this and unfortunately, many of the Muslims also have doubts about this fact. To defend this fact, many Muslims in the past have written books and articles to debate with the non-believers. But as Allah mentioned in His Holy Book that “He gives guidance to whom He wills” Al Qur’an 28:56 https://quran.com/28/56 I have gathered some points to defend this fact, as I have a logical understanding of this fact that this miraculous and glorious book can only be written by an author who is all-knowing and who is the lone creator of heavens and the earth “Allah SWT” He said this in Qur’an 25:59 https://quran.com/25/59 First of all, for the sake of argument, if we talk about the beliefs of non-believers, this book Holy Qur’an is not from the creator of the universe Allah SWT (nauz’billah). Then, as a common understanding, there has to be ...
