Islam guide book

preface for this book


This book is a brief guide to understanding Islam. It consists
of three chapters.
The first chapter, “Some Evidence for the Truth of Islam,”
answers some important questions which some people ask:

Is the Qur’an truly the literal word of God, revealed by Him?

Is Muhammad
1 truly a prophet sent by God?

Is Islam truly a religion from God?
In this chapter, six kinds of evidence are mentioned:
1) The Scientific Miracles in the Holy Qur’an: This section
discusses (with illustrations) some
recently discovered scientific
facts mentioned in the Holy
Qur’an, which was revealed
fourteen centuries ago.
2) The Great Challenge to Produce
One Chapter Like the
Chapters of the Holy
Qur’an: In the Qur’an, God
challenged all human beings
to produce a single chapter
like the chapters of the
Qur’an. Ever since the
Qur’an was revealed, fourteen
centuries ago, until this day, no
one has been able to meet this challenge,
even though the smallest chapter
in the Qur’an (Chapter 108) is only ten words.
3) Biblical Prophecies on the Advent of Muhammad
, the
Prophet of Islam: In this section, some of the Biblical prophecies
on the advent of the Prophet Muhammad
are discussed.
4) The Verses in the Qur’an That Mention Future Events
Which Later Came to Pass: The Qur’an mentioned future
events which later came to pass, for example, the victory of
the Romans over the Persians.
5) Miracles Performed by the Prophet Muhammad
: Many
miracles were performed by the Prophet Muhammad
. These
miracles were witnessed by many people.
6) The Simple Life ofMuhammad
: This clearly indicates that
Muhammad
was not a false prophet who claimed
prophethood to attain material gains, greatness, or power.
From these six kinds of evidence, we conclude that:

The Qur’an must be the literal word of God, revealed by Him.

Muhammad
is truly a prophet sent by God.

Islam is truly a religion from God.
If we would like to know if 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 evidence which
proved that they were truly prophets sent by God and hence that
the religion they came with is true.
The second chapter, “Some Benefits of Islam,” mentions
some of the benefits that Islam provides for the individual, such as:
1) The Door to Eternal Paradise
2) Salvation from Hellfire
3) Real Happiness and Inner Peace
4) Forgiveness for All Previous Sins.
The third chapter, “General Information on Islam,” provides
general information on Islam, corrects some misconceptions
about it, and answers some commonly asked questions, such as:

What does Islam say about terrorism?

What is the status of women in Islam?
