WHAT IS ISLAM ? Can we find an explanation of the great universe ? Is there any convincing interpretation of the secret of existence ? We realize that no family can function properly without a responsible head, that no city can prosperousy exist without sound administration, and that no state can survive without a leader of some kind. We also realize that nothing comes into being on its own. Moreover, we observe that the universe exists and functions in the most orderly manner, and that it has survived for hundreds of thousands of years. Can we,then, say that all this is accidental and haphazard? Can we attribute the existence of man and the whole world to meure chance ? Man represents only a very small portion of the great universe. And if he can make plans and appreciate the merits of planning, then his own existence and the survival of the universe must also be based on a planned policy. This means that there is a Designing Will behind our material existence, and that there is an extraordinary power to bring things in to being and keep them moving in order . In the world there must be a Great Force in action to keep everything in order. In the beautiful nature there must be a Great Creator who creates the most charming pieces of art and produces everything for a special purpose in life. The deeply enlightened people recognize this creator and call him Allah 'God' . He is not a man because no man can create or make another man He is not an animal, nor is He a plant. He is neither an idol nor is He a statue of any kind because none of these things can make itself or create anything else. He is different from all these things, because He is the maker and keeper of them all. The maker of anything must be different from and greater there the things which he makes. There are various ways to know ' ALLAH ' God , and there are many things to tell about Him. The great wonders and impressive marvels of the world are like open books in which we can read about ALLAH Besides, Allah Himself comes to our aid through te many messengers and revelations He has sent down to man. These messengers and revelations tell us everything we need to know about ALLAH . The complete acceptance of the teachings and guidance of 'ALLAH' as revealed to His messenger Mohammad (PBUH)is the religion of Islam. Islam enjoins faith in the oneness and sovereignity of Allah , which makes man aware of the meaningfulness of the Universe and of his |

WHAT THE HOLY QURAN SAYS ABOUT JESUS (PBUH) ABOUT HIS CONCEPTION: Behold ! the angels said: O Mary ! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a word from him, his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary held in honor in this World and the Hereafter, and of (the company) those nearest to Allah. He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity, and shall be (of the company) of righteous. She said: O my Lord ! how shall I have a son when no man hath touched me? He said: even so Allah createth what he willed when he hath decreed a matter, he but saith to it ‘BE’ and it is ! (HOLY QURAN – 3:45 – 47) He said: Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord (to announce) to thee the gift of a pure son. She said: How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me and I am not unchaste? He said: So (it will be) thy Lord saith, that is easy for Me and (We wish) to appoint him as a sign unto men and a mercy from Us. It is a matter (So) decreed. So she conceived him, and she retired with him to a remote place. (HOLY QURAN – 19:19 – 22) And (remember) her who guarded her chastity. We breathed into her from Our spirit and We made her and her son a Sign for all peoples. (HOLY QURAN – 21:91) And Mary the daughter of Imran, who guarded her chastity and We breathed into (her body) of Our spirit and she testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of his Revelations and was one of the devout (servants). (HOLY QURAN – 66:12) ABOUT HIS BIRTH: And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree, she cried (in her anguish) Ah ! would that I had died before this ! would that I had been a thing forgotten. But (a voice) cried to her from beneath the (palm-tree) grieve not ! for thy Lord hath provided a rivulent beneath thee; and shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree, it will let fall fresh ripe dates upon thee. So eat and drink and cool (thine) eye. And if thou dost see any man say, I have vowed a fast to (Allah) Most Gracious and this day will I enter into no talked with any human being. At length she brought the (babe) carrying him (in her arms) they said: O Mary truly strange things has thou brought. O sister of Aaron ! thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste. But she pointed to the babe. They said: How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle? He said: I am indeed a servant of Allah, He hath give me Revelation and made me a prophet. And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be. And hath enjoined on me prayer and zakat as long as I live. (He hath made me) kind to my mother, and not overbearing or unblest. So Peace on me the day I was born. The day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again). Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute. (HOLY QURAN – 19: 23-34) ABOUT HIS REALITY: The similitude of Jesus b |
