Does it makes sense for teacher to give a book and then test you with out explaining you? God is mercifull so he has sent prophets to practically demonstrate how to live life according to hi swill
So the questions what does submission means .. This is given in the books....
It is considered the eternal miracle of Islam preserved through writing. During the period of over 1400 years since the Quran was revealed, not a single letter was changed.
Why Arabic?
Principle of natural justice dictates the belief in day of perfect justice.
To be successful on day of judgment one needs a balance between hope of forgiveness and fear of accountability.
God does not want to punish us.
Liberate yourselves and achieve peace and happiness by changing yourself from being a slave of thousand masters to one master
Changes the way we look at the event around us.
Faith has no meaning with out its impact on action for eg some one says I believe in education but does not even enroll in school .. Enrollment similar to taking shahda.. Enrollment itself is not enough.. Need to attend classes so .. Prayer is equivalent of attending classes.. Pillars the minimum of how faith needs to manifest in action..Islam is religion of balance
Balance between faith and action ie imaan and amal unlike jews to much focus on action and legality versus christians only focus on faith and spirituality..
Balance between action that pleases Creator and action that fosters relationship with his creation ie ibadat and mamlat.. salat and zakat..
Balance between hope and fear.. Unlike jews and christian ...
Du’a
Du’a is a way to ask Allah for mercy, life struggles, and for the betterment of yourself and others in this life and the next.
