As the name indicates, the mission is to expose the true faith,
the religion of Islam, to the seekers of truth. It helps any non-Muslim
to know about the religion of Islam.
Many people have a misconception that Islam is a new
religion which came into existence 1400 years ago and Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) is the founder of the religion of Islam. Infact Islam is there
since time immemorial, since man set foot on the earth. Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) is not the founder of the religion of Islam but he is
the last and final messenger of Islam.
Man's existence in this world and the creation of this entire universe
are not mere accidents or products of a fortuitous nature. This
universe, every single atom of it, manifests and leads us to the
realization of a Loving, Merciful and All-powerful Creator. Without a
Creator, nothing can exist. Every single soul knows that he exists and
that his existence is dependent upon a Creator he knows for sure that
he cannot create himself. Therefore it is his duty to know his master,
the Creator.
Mankind: Man is a
unique creature. God gave man the ability to govern over all other
creatures in this world. He is endowed with the faculty of reason,
which sets him apart from all other animals. Together with this faculty
to discriminate and discern, man is given the freedom (free-will) to
choose for himself a way of life worthy of his position or to fall
lower than the lowest of all animals or creations. Man is born pure and
sinless and is given the choice to do righteous deeds or indulge in
sins.
Divine Guidance: The
Creator, out of His abundant Love and Mercy for mankind has not left us
in darkness to discover the right path by trial and error alone.
Coupled with our intellectual capability to reason, our Creator
bestowed upon us Divine Guidance that outlines the criterion for truth,
knowledge, as well as the reality of our existence in this world and
the Hereafter.
Revelations: From the
beginning of mankind, our Creator sent Prophets to convey His
revelation and to invite human beings to the path of true peace and
obedience to the One True God. This is Islam. This message is conveyed
towards successive generations of man through the different prophets,
all inviting mankind to the same path. However all the earlier messages
or revelations from God were distorted by people of later generations.
As a result of this distortion, pure Revelation from our Creator was
adulterated and polluted with myths, superstitions, idol worship and
irrational philosophical ideologies. The religion of God in a sense was
lost in a plethora of religions. Human history is a testament of man's
drift between light and darkness, but God, out of His abundant love for
mankind has not forsaken us.
Final Revelation: When
mankind was in the depths of the Dark Ages, our Creator sent His final
Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) to redeem
humanity with the final revelation, which represents the ultimate and
permanent source of guidance for the whole world.
Criteria For Truth:The following criteria can best serve as a gauge to find out the
authenticity of the last revelation (the Qur'aan) as the Word of God:
1.Rational Teachings:
Since our Creator bestowed reason and intellect upon us, it is our duty
to use it to distinguish the truth from falsehood. True, undistorted
revelation from God must be rational and can be reasoned out by all
unbiased minds.
2.Perfection:
Since our Creator is all-perfect, His revelation must be perfect and
accurate, free from mistakes, omissions, interpolations and
multiplicity of versions. It should be free from contradictions in its
narration.
3.No Myths or Superstitions:
True revelation is free from myths or superstitions that degrade the dignity of our Creator or man himself.
4.Scientific:
Since our Creator is the Creator of all knowledge, true revelation is
scientific and can withstand the challenge of science at all times.
5.Factual Prophecy:
Our Creator is the Knower of the past, present and future. Thus His
prophecies in His revelation will be fulfilled as prophesied.
6.Inimitable By Man:
True revelation is infallible and cannot be imitated by man. God's true
revelation is a Living miracle, an open book challenging all mankind to
see and prove for themselves its authenticity or veracity.
