The signs and evidence proving Islam are varied and abundant in nature, the quest for truth must be embarked upon with sincerity and diligence, for many, once the sign and truth has been made apparent, the arrogant reject and cover over the based on their desires. A sincere heart will accept the truth even if it against ones self, for something is not made untrue because it is disliked. With that we ask you to proceed with a request, to seek the truth earnestly, and diligently. The clarity and wisdom of the message is a compelling proof and evidence itself, for the discerning.1 1 It is often assumed that just because there are signs within the Islamic texts that other scripture sent by God Almighty did not, this is not the claim of Islam, but what is upon the earnest sincere seeker of truth is the ascertain whether the signs Islam sets out are in fact true. 1 The Oneness of God One of the signs of God is the fact that belief in The Oneness of God is an innate belief of man,2 this was established by a study at Oxford university, this is something Islam stated over 1400 years ago.3 The Almighty has from the beginning of time sent revelation to mankind and informed us about His noble self, and of our purpose. In the Torah, Gospel and The Qur'an God is One. Allah does not sleep. 2:255 Allah does not have offspring. 112:3 Allah is need of none. 35:15 The miracle of the Qur'an 2 “Belief in God is part of human nature - Oxford study” Ross, T. 2011 Human beings are naturally predisposed to believe in God, according to an Oxford University study. 3 Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “No child is born but that he is upon the natural disposition. ….As an animal delivers a child with limbs intact, do you detect any flaw?” Then, Abu Huraira recited the verse, :"So firmly establish your focus (regard lit: face) to the rightly inclined way of life (the correct disposition), the natural disposition (fitrah) that God Almighty created (that he predisposed and instilled) mankind upon, no alteration should there be (for this is) with the creation of Allah, that is the upright way of life but most people do not know.." 30:30 2 “We will show them Our signs on the horizons4 and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it (i.e. Islam) is the Truth. Is it not sufficient that your Lord is Witness over all things?” 41:53 “Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are signs for people who reflect (the wise).” 3:190 And We did not send before you any messenger except that We revealed to Him that: “There is no (true) God except Me, so worship Me.” 21:25 Messengers sent to different lands in different times, in various languages, but all confirming the same message and at times even the names of prophets that were to be sent after them.5 In His last revealed book sent to mankind He has informed us of His perfect nature: 4 Jalalayn said : We shall show them Our signs in the horizons, [in all] the regions of the heavens and the earth, in the way of the luminous [celestial] bodies, [the varieties of] vegetation and trees, and in their own bodies and souls, in the way of the exquisite craftsmanship and unique wisdom [inherent in their creation], until it becomes clear to them that it, namely, the Qur’ān, is the truth, revealed by God, informing of the Resurrection, the Reckoning and the Punishment, so that they [realise that they] will be punished for their disbelief in it and in the one who has come with it. Is it not sufficient that your Lord (bi-rabbika, governs the verb yakfi, ‘sufficient’) is witness to all things? Tafsir Jalalayn 41:53 5 See Song of Solomon 5:16, containing the name Muhammad, also read p xxx quote within this appendix 3 (Allah is the name for The One God in Arabic it is even in Arabic Bible.) "Allah there is no (true) God but Him He is The Ever living, The Sustainer, drowsiness does not overtake Him and nor does sleep; for to Him (belongs) is whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, who can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot comprehend anything from His knowledge except that which He permits, His seat extends over the heavens and the earth, and it does not tire him to preserve them, and He is the Most High Exalted, The Tremendous." Qur'an 2:255 He is The First and always existed, before Him there was no one, He is The Tremendous - but indeed His mercy is vast, far vaster than His anger. “He is the First and The Last, The Evident and The Subtle, And He is of all things, One All-Knowing" The Sacred Qur'an 57:3 He is The Most Loving and The Most compassionate. "O People of the scripture let's come to an agreement between us, That we shall worship none except The One True God alone. That we shall make no equal (or rival) unto Him. That none of us shall take others as lords besides The One True God." The Sacred Qur'an 3:61 4 He is with us by His mercy kindness knowledge power and more. He is not like any creation, not in physical appearance nor is He limited to our minds imagination. He is perfect and is in no need of rest or sleep. He does not share His divinity with anyone and does not have offspring, we are His creatures and not His children : If we take the example of a craftsman who makes a walking stick with his hands, it would be ludicrous to say the stick was his child or son, likewise The Creator of the heavens and earth made the first man with His own sacred hands. Islam teaches that we are His creation and not His children. “Declare: He, God Almighty is One, That He: God Almighty is The King of Refuge. He did not have any children, nor was He born. And there is no comparison unto Him. (There is no one equal, equivalent, or like Him in truth.)” 112-14 . 5 Only by worshipping The Creator in the way He has revealed can one truly find peace. The prophets all submitted to God, as all people of faith agree but what most people are unaware of is that the word meaning submission and devotion to God Almighty in the Arabic language is the word Islam, and the one who surrenders to God is called a Muslim. Islam: peace through worship of The Almighty alone Real happiness and peace can be found in submitting to the commands of the Creator and the Sustainer of this world. God has said in the Qur’an: “Is it not in the remembrance of Allah that hearts find rest?” The Sacred Qur’an, 13:28 On the other hand, the one who turns away from the Qur’an will have a life of hardship in this world. God has said: “Whoever follows my guidance will not go astray or be without favour, but as for he who turns away from my admonition (and also meaning remembrance) then he will have a depressing, hard life6 and I will raise him blind on the day of resurrection” 6 Depressing also meaning narrow, Became narrow or strait (indicating hardship). Became weak in judgment, in body, in soul, in intellect. Hard, firm, and compact in the flesh (applied to a man). Affected with a constant or chronic, pervading disease. 6 20:123-4 The Signs of Wisdom The wise creed, instruction, moral guidance and parables of Islam, in the Qur’an and hadith are in and of themselves compelling evidence for the veracity of Islam.
