Why YOU Should be Muslim!?

You learn the best guidance for ALL aspects of life. History has proven this, where an Islamic society has brought harmony between people of different races, and cultures, and given every person within it equal respect, rights and through this - flourishing civilization.


You have the best example in one man - Muhammad, who has truly changed the course of history and is the most written about man in the world since his time, and has provided mankind with the best source of guidance at a personal, aswell as social level. If you're in doubt, then read about his life! Read any aspect of his life, compare it to your life, and see how you become the most well mannered and effective person amongst the masses.


Islam has a balance between science and belief in God. So we believe that science is a pattern of God's creation. You'll notice that there isn't much detail about the specifics in science in the Qur'an or Sunnah, simply because Allah has given us senses and tools to understand the universe around us.

So if a certain supernatural event does occur, we have an open mind to accept it as something supernatural (i.e. Jinn), or something which might be based on science and explainable in the future through other means. Making you an open minded person! This balance gives you an open mind about the natural, and the supernatural. With the Qur'an and Sunnah being specific to how you can be successful in your dealings with God and others.



Another balance is thebelief in Prophet Jesus son of Mary (peace be upon them.) The Jews reject him and curse him, saying he was an imposter. The Christians raise him to the level of God, or a part of God. We say he is a servant and Messenger of God, and of the greatest of Prophets like the ones who came before him [i.e. Moses, Abraham, Noah, etc.] We follow him and his virgin mother Mary more than any other people too (even in the way we dress!).

only muslims will enter paradise.

Lo! those who disbelieve, among the People of the Scripture [christians and jews] and the idolaters [mushrikeen], will abide in fire of hell. They are the worst of created beings.

[Quran Surah Bayyinah 98:6]

So Allah is telling us that the christians and jews, and the mushrikeen/polytheists will be in hell if they disbelieve in Prophet Muhammad (sal Allah alaihi wasalam.)

(As for) those who believe and do good, surely they are the -best of men.

Their reward is with Allah: Gardens of Eternity, beneath which rivers flow; they will dwell therein for ever; Allah well pleased with them, and they with Him: all this for such as fear their Lord and Cherisher.

[Qur'an Surah Bayyinah 98: 7-8]

Wasalam Alaikum ;)
Some questions have arisen after the reading.
Can a "Djinn" be explained scientifically? Every "supernatural" manifestation have no answer by human? Can someone have a correct "way-of-life" without being dogmatic? Being Muslim implies some limitation? Can someone that way be completely free? Is a Muslim accepted, meanwhile an atheist, agnostic or free-thinker, watched differently?
Respects to everyone.

Becoming a Muslim someone able to know his creator and identify Him. Furthermore able to know the root and the root of the wisdom why you are in this plant. what is the purpose of creation of human being in the world.

"only muslims will enter paradise."

But If there is no such a "paradise" in reality only in someone dreams, non-muslims have nothing to do with it. Other cultures have nothing to do with it. I will not enter in something I don't believe in. I will not even enter the magnificent royal gardens of Arabia because I am not from there, and If I could go, I doubt my entrance could be possible. There are places only for the faithful.

Lo! those who disbelieve, among the People of the Scripture [christians and jews] and the idolaters [mushrikeen], will abide in fire of hell. They are the worst of created beings.

I disbelieve in what Judah-christians, muslims, voodooists, spiritists, etc. believe. I disbelieve in "hell", "heaven", "paradise", "valhalla", "other lifes", etc. So, I have nothing to fear, because no "hell" is awaiting for me at my death. As well, there is no reason to change/finish an entire culture to impose what is "truly" believed by a certain group of persons.

So, If you base your criteria in the book Q'ran, -I am- of the "worst created beings". But that insult doesn't affect me. A book is written by humans. I could write a book saying my neighbor will suffer because he doesn't believe in the Kraken, and so the Kraken itself will strike him when fishing and he will lie in the deep of the ocean till he desintegrates. But I don't think that things, people can see it as "evil", so I haven't a reason why show myself as something I am not.

With all the respect you can imagine.

Kind regards.

The reasons is why you should be a Muslim is simply because the Creator commanded you and us to do so, as is revealed in the Quraan
"Truly! Allaah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him (Alone). This is the Straight Path"(3:51).
Allah Almighty command to all humanity to become a Muslim and why people deny from this?
