Only Islam Answers Life’s Biggest Questions
Islam is as essential to a person as water and air, for without it, one is lost and bewildered, deprived of their identity and very existence. The Islamic creed alone provides answers to the questions that have long preoccupied—and continue to perplex—human thought:
- Where did I come from? Where did this universe originate?
- Who is the Creator? What are His attributes?
- What are His names? Why did He create us and create the universe?
- What is our role in this universe?
- What is our relationship with the Creator who brought us into being?
- Are there unseen realms beyond this visible world?
- Are there other intelligent, reasoning beings besides humans?
- Is there a life after this one to which we will return?
- And if so, what will that life be like?
No creed today, other than the Islamic creed, offers truthful and convincing answers to these questions. Whoever does not know this creed or does not embrace it is no different from the plight of that wretched poet who knew nothing:
I came, not knowing from where, yet here I am.
Before me lay a path, so I walked.
And I shall continue walking, whether I wish to or not.
How did I come? How did I find my path?
I do not know.
