WHY ACCEPT ISLAAM
All Praise is due to Allaah, our Creator, Nourisher and Provider. Peace and Blessings be upon all the Ambiyaa (A.S.) and upon the last and final Rasul (Messenger)
- Muhammad (S.A.W.). Peace and blessings upon his companions who accepted and propagated DEEN (religion) to the entire world.
THE NEED FOR RELIGION.
Man has been imbued with Aql (intelligence). Whenever any person is given an extra benefit there arises a corresponding responsibility. A poor person, for
example does not have to pay as much tax and nor does he have as many obligatory duties such as the giving of alms etc., as the rich man.
Whenever a person with the extra benefit (in this case, money), refuses to acknowledge the responsibility that go with it, then the results are horrendous . This
can clearly be seen when those who have refused to use their wealth responsibly, become engulfed in all the trappings of luxury which result in many vices such as
adultery, divorce suicide and even murder .
Man, when compared to other mammals,has been endowed with a superior intelligence. This enables him to distinguish between right and wrong . If he refuses to
do so, the evil consequences are far greater and more catastrophic than when an animal behaves irresponsibly. This is so because animals have a limited amount of
intelligence and therefore their capability to do harm is equally inferior, and they do not have the intelligence to connive as well as man can . Have you, for
example heard of an animal manufacturing alcohol,selling it to others and, despite observing the harmful effects thereof,still advertising it through every possible
media ?. This is why the need for religion exists. Now we shall prove why this religion has got to be Islaam, thus answering the question : "WHY AM I A
MUSLIM" as well as "WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE ISLAAM AS MY RELIGION. ?"
WHY ISLAAM ?.
What many modernists do not understand is that man is not an animal and therefore it does not behove him to behave as if he were. Total freedom, for example, is
one aspect which receives a lot of attention by those who compete with animals in their quest for freedom. When even animals conform to certain laws of the
jungle, man wishes to go one step backwards,insult his own intelligence and desire complete freedom to do as he wills. This is looking a gift-horse in the mouth .
Surely we owe it to the One Who has created us to use this great gift of intelligence to elevate our position in life.
These days, every group firmly believes that they are on the correct course. No one is prepared to give up their heroes, lifestyles and even their style of dress for
anything different. The important question of which way of life to choose cannot be answered without many other questions being answered. In this booklet, we
hope to answer these questions. Let us begin with the following example.
Four blind persons were brought to an elephant. They touched it, each one at a different place. The one touching the stomach said that this was a huge round
drum. The one who held the trunk said that it was a long slimy stick. The next, who gripped the leg said that it was a pillar and the last one, who felt the ear, said
that it was a huge leaf. Each one of them thought that what he had felt was a whole elephant, until someone who could see informed them that what they had felt__._,_.___
