Is the Religion
True or False?
If we would like to know whether a religion is true
or false, we should not depend on our emotions,
feelings, or traditions. Rather, we should depend on
our reason and intellect. When God sent the
prophets, He supported them with miracles and
evidences which proved that they were truly prophets
send by God and that the religion they came with was
true. The true religion can be found by answering
three questions:
1. What is truly the
literal word of God, revealed by God?
2. Who was truly the last prophet sent by God?
3. What truly is the religion from God?
1. What is truly the literal word of God,
revealed by God?
The literal word of God, revealed by
God was revealed 14 centuries ago. It mentioned
facts only recently discovered or proven by
scientists. It is beyond reason that anyone fourteen
hundred years ago would have known these facts
discovered or proven only recently with advanced
equipment and sophisticated scientific methods.
Since the literal word of God was revealed by God,
no one has been able to produce a single chapter
like the chapters of the literal word of God in
their beauty, eloquence, splendor, wise legislation,
true information, true prophecy and other perfect
attributes. The smallest chapter in the literal word
of God is only ten words, yet no one has ever been
able to meet a challenge to produce the like of it,
then (1400 years ago) or today. The verses in the
literal word of God mention future events which have
later come to pass. The literal word of God speaks
about the stages of man's embryonic development. How
could anyone have possibly known these stages 1400
years ago, when scientists have only recently
discovered these stages using advanced equipment and
powerful microscopes which did not exist 1400 years
ago. The literal word of God describes the structure
of mountains that modern geology has only recently
confirmed. The literal word of God mentions the
origin of the universe. Someone who did not know
something about nuclear physics 1400 years ago could
not be in a position to find out from his own mind
that the earth and the heavens had the same origin.
The literal word of God describes the cerebrum.
Scientists have only discovered these functions of
the prefrontal area in the last 60 years. The
literal word of God describes the barrier between
the seas and rivers. This information has been
discovered only recently, using advanced equipment.
The human eye cannot see the difference between the
two seas that meet nor the division of water in
estuaries. The literal word of God describes the
structure of clouds that meteorologists and
scientists have only recently come to know. Their
modern ideas on meteorology were dominant 14
centuries ago when the literal word of God was
revealed.
2. Who was truly the
last prophet sent by God?
When God challenged those in
doubt, to produce one chapter like the chapters in
the literal word of God. Some of the disbelievers
who were enemies of the last prophet tried to meet
this challenge in order to prove that this prophet
was not a true prophet, but they failed to do so.
This failure was despite the fact that the literal
word of God was revealed in their own language and
dialect. In addition, the people at the time of the
last prophet were very eloquent people who used to
compose beautiful and excellent poetry, still read
and appreciated today. Many miracles were performed
by the last prophet by God's permission. These
miracles were witnessed by many people. Before his
mission as a prophet, the last prophet had no
financial worries. As a successful and reputed
merchant, the last prophet drew a satisfactory and
comfortable income. After his mission as a prophet
and because of it, he became worse off materially.
Two months would pass without lighting a fire in his
house to cook a meal, with nothing to sustain him
but dates and water. His mattress on which he slept
was made of leather and stuffed with the fiber of
the date palm tree. He used to milk his own goat,
mend his own clothes, repair his own shoes, help
with the household work, and visit poor people when
they got sick. An envoy of the disbelieving leaders
offered him money to be the richest, leadership to
be the leader, and a kingdom to be a king and the
last prophet refused it all. If we compare the life
of the last prophet before his mission as a prophet
to his life after he began his mission as a prophet,
we will conclude that it is beyond reason to think
that the last prophet was a false prophet, who
claimed prophet-hood to attain material gains,
greatness, glory, or power.
3. What truly is the
religion from God?
The true religion from God
must contain as it's pillars the literal word of God
and the last true prophet. Therefore, we must seek
the religion that stands on these pillars. The only
religion available today that stands on these
pillars "Is the fasted growing religion in America.
It's a guide and a pillar of stability for many of
America's people." - Hillary Rodham Clinton. "The
followers of this religion are the world's fastest
growing group." - USA Today "This religion is the
fastest growing religion in the country." - Newsday
"This religion is the fastest growing religion in
the United States." - New York Times This phenomenal
growth indicates that this religion is truly a
religion from God. It is unreasonable to think that
so many Americans converted to this religion without
careful consideration and deep contemplation before
concluding that this religion is true. These
Americans come from all classes, races and walks of
life. They include scientists, professors,
philosophers, journalists, song artists, athletic
stars, pastors, ministers, members of the armed
forces just to name a few. |
