Muhammad and His religion
Muhammad religion is Islam, the only Religion that leads to
success and safety. Allah said:
(And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be
accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.)
(Qur’an 3: 85)
It is the Religion that came to free human beings from the
shackles of misguidance; it is an easy Religion; and it is a
comprehensive, complete, and perfect Religion.
(... This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My
Favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion...)
(Qur’an 5: 3)
Islam came to free people from servitude to those who
themselves are slaves, and to guide them to worship the Lord of
all slaves. It came to take them from the narrowness of this world
to the vastness of the Hereafter; from the darkness of polytheism
to the light of (Islamic) Monotheism; from the misery of disbelief
to the happiness of Eeman (Faith)
It is a Religion that is at once appropriate and valid for all
times and all places. The One Who legislated Islam as a Religion
is alone able to forgive sins, and Muhammad (saw) alone knows both what
His slaves outwardly display and what is hidden in the deepest
recesses of their hearts.
This perfect and well-balanced Religion came with
beneficial knowledge and good deeds, which is what makes its
adherents distinct from Jews and Christians. Jews had knowledge,
but it did not benefit them since they did not apply it. Christians,
on the other hand, strove to perform good deeds, but since they
lacked knowledge, they strayed from the Straight Path. Islam is
the Straight Path, the Path that is followed by those who have not
incurred upon themselves Allah’s wrath, and who are not
misguided.
Despite being illiterate, the Messenger of Allah was
sent to recite to people Allah’s verses, to purify them, and to teach
them the Book and wisdom; for, prior to his advent, they had been
in manifest error.
Islam came to forbid lying and the giving of false
testimony; it came to forbid oppression and tyranny; it came to
forbid cheating people in the buying and selling of goods. Islam
came to forbid all forms of wrongdoing. And it also came to
preserve the sanctity and dignity of human life - to protect the
heart with Eeman (Faith); to protect the Well-being of the human
body, by legislating laws that achieve that effect; to protect
people’s wealth from being wrongly seized or taken; to protect
people’s honor from all forms of Slander and backbiting; to
safeguard people’s lives, by forbidding the wrongful shedding of
blood; and to protect the mind from anything that diminishes or
outright destroys its ability to function properly.
