Re: Islam The Right Religion
Salaam Mani,
I respect your zeal for Islam. For us Muslims, Islaam is the perfect religion. However, for Christians is Christianity, for Buddhist is Buddhism. Your post shows your firm belief, but--I hate to say--probably makes people who do not follow Islaam to start feeling aversion towards your statements because to them, I am pretty sure it sounds arrogant. Please do not take offense.
One thing you, me and all other Muslims should remember, is that the Holy Bible (regardless what others may have done to it) is recognized Revelation from Allah Almighty. We need to respect it and love it. We may not agree to everything it says, but that is why we have the Holy Qur'an.
Remember how the Holy Qur'an tells us the story of the fall of Iblis. He felt that he was better than Adam savs. He felt entitled to hold a better position, because he was created from a smokeless fire, which, Iblis believed is better than the dirt/mud we humans were made of originally.
Let us not be like him (Iblis) for claiming that we are better in belief, that we have the best religion, that we have the Best Book. We may believe it and it (for us) is the truth, but lets not hurt others by telling them theirs is 'inferior.' That is not what Allah Almighty meant when He said that he created us diverse (white, black, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, atheist) to see who will best behave on this Earth. It is all about being mindful, showing the best example through our good deeds which I am sure can best attract people to us and our religion.
If you want others to join you in your religousness, then show them what you know, tell them what you know, make them think. If their hearts are sincere in knowledge seeking, maybe God Almighty will englighten them to Islaam, if not, then hey: we have no control over God's creations--only He does.
God bless.
