Ch4: proof 2


2-Challenge to Produce Like the Holy Qur'an.

Allah has said in the Qur'an:
{{ And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur'ân) to Our slave (Muhammad Peace be upon him ), then produce a Sûrah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allâh, if you are truthful.  But if you do it not, and you can never do it, then fear the Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers. }},( Holly Qur’an 2 : 23-24).

Ever since the Qur'an was revealed, fourteen centuries ago, no one has been ‎able to produce a single chapter like the chapters of the Qur'an in their beauty, ‎eloquence, splendor, wise legislation, true information, true prophecy, and ‎other perfect attributes.  Also, note that the smallest chapter in the Qur'an ‎‎(Chapter 108) is only ten words, yet no one has ever been able to meet this ‎challenge, then or today. Some of the disbelieving Arabs who were enemies of ‎the Prophet Muhammad-peace be upon him- tried to meet this challenge to ‎prove that Muhammad -peace be upon him- was not a true prophet, but they ‎failed to do so. This failure was despite the fact that the Holy Qur'an was ‎revealed in their own language and dialect and that the Arabs at the time of ‎Muhammad -peace be upon him- were very eloquent people who used to ‎compose beautiful and excellent poetry, still read and appreciated today.‎

Ch 1: The Creator

Chapter One The Creator. The name Allah (God) in Islam is the personal name of God. The most concise definition of God in Islam is given in four verses of Surah Al- Ikhlaas in the Holy Qur'an : {{1. Say (O Muhammad): "He is Allâh , (the) One. 2. " Allâh-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks). 3. "He begetteth not not , nor is He begotten; 4 . " And there is none Like unto Him.}} (Holy Qur'an 112: 1-4). To Muslims, this four-line definition of Almighty God serves as the touchstone of the study of God. Any candidate to divinity must be subjected to this ‘acid test' and since the attributes of The Creator given in this chapter are unique, false gods and pretenders to divinity can be easily dismissed using these verses.  i ) The first criterion is «"Say, He is Allah, one and only". » Can there be more than one god? This verse tells us that The Creator is the ...

Why was this religion named Islam?

Why was this religion named Islam? Adherents of various religions all over the ‎ world have named their religions, either with the name of a man or a particular ‎ race like Christianity, which was named after Jesus Christ; and Buddhism was ‎ named after its founder Buddha; and Zoroastrianism was named after its founder ‎ and flag banner, Zoroaster. Judaism had also emerged among the tribe of Judah ‎ and so on. The All-Mighty Allah Himself called it Islam when He said,   {{Truly, the religion with Allâh is Islâm . ( submission to His Will)}},(Holy Qur'an 3:1) It is only Islam that is not attributed to any particular man or ‎ nation. Its name indicates a special characteristic that the meaning of Islam ‎ denotes. It is evident in this name that no man has any role in bringing this ‎ religion into existence and that it is not peculiar with any nation to the ‎ exclusion of others. Its only goal is to make all people of the earth have ‎ characteristics of Islam...
