The Quran is full of scientific fact explained by Dr. Zakir Naik at the Oxford University Union lecture, in his speech he explained the established scientific discoveries that took place during the last 300 years by the world’s best scientists are written in the holy Quran which was given to Prophet Muhammad about 1400 years ago, who did not know how to read and write. All the best scholars and religious pundits of Judaism, Christianity and Hinduism have bow down to Dr. Zakir Naik’s arguments, wisdom, and knowledge. Allah is the Creator, the maker and designer of Earth and Universe. Every creation in the heavens and earth glorifies Him. Allah is exceedingly compassionate, truly kind, and most merciful. Those Muslims who has committed great sins in their life, realized for their wrongdoing, regrets for their sinful acts, shed tears,and do the Tawba (repentance) Allah will forgive their sins and will send them to Jannah. A true believer finally will go to Jannah (paradise) after the punishment for their accumulated sins for which he failed to do Tawba before death.

That is why Allah kept his mankind expect them to publicly pronounce the “Shahadah” by their heart which states “ I testify that there is no god except Allah and I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah” from that moment that person become Muslims and his past sin is forgiven. Allah made it quite easy for the non-believer if they embrace Islam by simply pronouncing the shahada by heart, be kind to their parents and be trustworthy and follow five pillars of Islam will go to Jannah. The Prophet Muhammad said “Salat is the key to Jannah and the key to Salat is Wudu” (Tirmidhi, Hadith 4). Salat cleanses and purifies the soul, soften the heart of a Muslim and it naturally prevent a person from committing sins. Salat is the only way to connect with the Almighty and Prostration (sizdah) takes you towards the closest proximity to Allahas if you are prostrating at the feet of Allah. The person who does not offer salat dies thirsty and arise thirsty from their grave. The Holy Prophet (s) says, that on the day of Qayamat (doom’s day), the one who has not paid Zakat will be in a state where Agra python (extremely venomous) will be wound around his neck and keepbiting while saying I am your Zakat and I am your wealth. The Holy Prophet (s) said “Fasting act as a shield against the flame of the fire of Jahannam. The Holy Prophet has also said “a fasting person will meet his Lord (Allah) to receive his reward and will cross the “Poole Serat (A bridge thinner than a hair and sharper than a sword)” in presence of Almighty. The messenger of Allah said “whoever perform hajj sincerely, returns from hajj as pure and free from sins like a newborn Hurairah, vol-3, Bood-24, hadith-2628).
