An answer for every question:
I would always search for causes and purposes for everything. I would anticipate logical explanations for them. On the other hand, the explanations provided by priests and other Christian men of religion did not satisfy me. Most of the time, instead of giving satisfactory answers to my questions, they would dismiss the matter with evasive prevarications such as, “We cannot understand these things. They are divine secrets” and “They are beyond the grasp of the human mind.”
This poor man was misled and deceived by Muslims who concealed from him the following verse in the Koran:
Surah 3:7
He it is Who has revealed the Book to you; some of its verses are decisive, they are the basis of the Book, and others are allegorical; then as for those in whose hearts there is perversity they follow the part of it which is allegorical, seeking to mislead and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation.
but none knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rooted in knowledge say: We believe in it, it is all from our Lord; and none do mind except those having understanding.
Besides, there are many things the god of the Koran chooses to conceal from his creatures. For instance:
Surah 18:22
(Some) say: (They are) three, the fourth of them being their dog; and (others) say: Five, the sixth of them being their dog, making conjectures at what is unknown; and (others yet) say: Seven, and the eighth of them is their dog. Say:
My Lord best knows their number, none knows them but a few; therefore contend not in the matter of them but with an outward contention, and
do not question concerning them any of them.
Upon this I decided to study, on the one hand, Oriental religions, and on the other hand, books written by famous philosophers. The books written by these philosophers always dealt with such subjects as protoplasms, atoms, molecules, and particles, and did not even touch on reflections such as “What becomes of the human soul?” “Where does the soul go after death?” “How should we discipline our souls in this world?”
The Islamic religion, on the other hand, treated the human subject not only within the corporeal areas, but also along the spiritual extensions. Therefore, I chose Islam not because I had lost my way, or only because Christianity had incurred my displeasure, or as a result of sudden decision, but, on the contrary, after very minutely studying it and becoming thoroughly convinced about its greatness, singularity, solemnity and perfection
[Muhammad Alexander Russell Webb; American diplomat, author]
This same poor man does not know that Mohammad adopted the doctrine of bodily resurrection from Christianity. Hence the 18th Surah of the Koran relates the story of Christian believers coming back to life after death!
Now I realize I can get in direct contact with God, unlike Christianity or any other religion. As one Hindu lady told me, “You don’t understand the Hindus. We believe in one God; we use these objects (idols) to merely concentrate.” What she was saying was that in order to reach God, one has to create associates, that are idols for the purpose. But Islam removes all these barriers.
[Yusuf Islaam, formerly Cat Stevens]
Mr Cat pathetically pretends not to know that the god of Islam needs angels and human messengers to communicate with his creatures. Thus, without Mohammad, there is no Islam! Thus, Mohammad is an idol too!
More, Mr Cat pretends not to know that the Koran does not reject the institution of priesthood in Judaism.
The same Mr Cat pretends not to know that the god of Islam cannot directly punish sinners. He somehow needs humans to execute punishment for certain sins.
Universality:
Islam is a religion that belongs not only to the Arabs but to the entire humanity. This universal quality presents a sharp contrast with the Judaic religion, whose holy book always refers to the God of Israel.
It is a pity that Muslims strive to ignore the fact that the Koran addresses Arabs only! Surah 42:7 makes it clear that the Koran was supposedly revealed to Mohammad’s folk. There are so many verses to rebut the Islamic hoax that Islam is a universal religion!!!
One more thing that I love in Islam is that this religion recognizes all the prophets, makes no distinction between them and treats the believers of other religions with compassion.
*[Mahmud Gunnar Ahmad, Swedish Muslim.
Islam recognises the prophets stated in the Koran alone! Since the Koran manipulates all the prophets and imprisons them to Mohammad’s ideology, the so-called Islamic belief in all prophets will not count!
