Bismiilaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Assalaamu'alaikum warahmatullaahi'wabarakaat
Following the last note, the question arises as to why we should follow Islam and not the other world religions. Well for all those muslims out there thinking like this, Allaah says in the Qur'aan, in Surah Ale Imraan, Chapter 3, Verse 19,
"The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will)..."
So let us first analyse what ISLAM really is. Islam comes from the root word "salaam" meaning peace. So all those who claim Islaam being spread by the sword and what not, drop it! From the root, we understand that Islaam means peace. Also, it means to submit ones will to Almighty God. So together, Islam is a religion of peace whereby one submits his will to Almighty God. Sounds fair?
So yes, from the start, Islam seems nice, does it not? Lets go in depth then. Now for the existance of God. If one thinks logically and apply common sense, [yes, we do lack it alot at times], then it would be no surprise for one to figure out that God exists. Surely, you and i were not here when the the heaven and the earth was created. Let alone earth and heavens; what about human soul? You think that any scientist putting up the human body as it is in a normal human being, can run that body without the soul? It had to be someone very different and unearthly to create the universe and whatever hereafter, including all other unseen things. The Manufacturer and Creator is one, God, and as us muslims call Him, Allaah.
Now Allaah, from time to time, as mentioned in the Qur'aan, revealed to us that from time to time, he has sent various prophets with revelations and message for the humankind, but it was only for their people and their period of time. However, Prophet Muhammed PBUH was the seal of the prophets, and he, was for the whole of humankind.
"
". . . And there never was a people, without a warner
having lived among them (in the past)." [Surah Fatir Chapter 35 Verse 24]
And as ive said, Muhammed PBUH being the last of the prophets, mentioned in the Qur'aan, in Surah Ahzaab, Chapter 33, Verse 40 "
"Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the messenger of allah, and the seal of the prophets: and Allaah has full knowledge of all things"
And as for being sent for the whole of humankind :
"We sent thee not, but as a mercy for all creatures" [Surah Anbiya Chapter 21, Verse 107]
So what is Islam? [once again]
A faith? Just a faith? That's very non-islam-ish.
"There is no God to worship other than Allaah, Muhammed [PBUH] is the messenger of Allaah"
what on earth is this?
A : "u believe in Allaah, right?"
B : "duh!"
A : "u believe in Muhammed PBUH too, huh?"
B : "Believe in the day of ressuraction and the hereafter?"
A : "uh huh"
A : "If so, what have u prepared? Your scared of people when u lie cause you think they are gonna beat you up. You follow your fellow non-muslim brothers and sisters' way of life, disregarding Allaah. You dont perform Salaah. You dont work on your hijaab, u dont even remember to ask for forgiveness and thank Him for all that He has given you. Then how can u say u believe in Allaah and Muhammed's [PBUH] teachings?
B : "..."
Brothers and sisters, guess what happened, while i was writing this note, this showed up in my facebook homepage
"****** **** became a fan of if my parents knew half the things i did..i'd be dead.

ironical, isnt it?
anyways, that was an everyday usual ongoing of majority of us muslims. Like christians, Hindus, etc, our faith is just not a few belief in lines. It is much much more
Ill end it here and continue the rest in the next note, cause the ones with partial interest would find it boring to such a big note, so for now, Wassalaamu'alaikum warahmatullaah!
Assalaamu'alaikum warahmatullaahi'wabarakaat
