In this world, there are hundreds of religions. People of countless faiths and beliefs reside here. Everyone is striving to support their own religion, actively working to prove its correctness and propagate it. But the question is, which religion is correct? Which religion should we adopt that will improve our lives in this world and the hereafter? For this, it is necessary to seek a religion that is comprehensive in every respect, adorned with outward and inward virtues, free from all kinds of defects and flaws, a true reflection of justice and fairness, an advocate of equality, one that guides human thoughts and ideas in the right direction, corrects understanding and intelligence, elevates the standard of speech and action, teaches brotherhood and love, harmonizes with humanity, conveys a message of peace and reconciliation, and provides a path to meet the true Creator. Such a religion, such a faith, should be in accordance with reason and scripture, based on sound judgment, and not be disagreed upon by any sensible and rational person. The religion that embodies these qualities is the true religion.
If you take a close look at the religions of the world and study them, you will not find any other religion besides Islam that is based on truth. The religion of Islam is perfectly in accordance with reason and scripture.
The proof of this is the Holy Quran, where Allah Almighty Himself says: "Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam."
Allah's most beloved and true religion is Islam.
In another place, He says, "Whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted from him."
The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) says:
من شھد ان لاالہ الااللہ وأن محمدا رسول اللہ حرم اللہ علیہ النار
Whoever testifies that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger, Allah has forbidden the fire of Hell for that person.
(Ma'arif al-Hadith, Volume 1, Kitab al-Iman
Hadith Number 11)
Therefore, the religion of Islam is unique in its nature. There is no example of its comprehensiveness, and no parallel to its brotherhood and love. It is entirely based on justice and fairness, providing guidance from birth to death, and containing a message of peace and reconciliation.
Read the Quran, and you will realize its teachings, that such comprehensive principles are not found in any other religion. The religion of Islam connects us to the true Creator, acquaints us with reality, and familiarizes us with the reality of life.
Therefore, we should hold fast to the rope of Islam and remain steadfast upon it until our last breath. We should always have a spirit of self-sacrifice for its sake so that we may be successful in this world and the hereafter.
