In the Glorious Quran, Almighty Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ says:
ٱلْيَوْمَ
أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِى وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ
ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمَ دِينًا
… This day have
I perfected your religion for you and completed My favor upon you, and have
chosen Islam as your religion… [Maidah 5:3]
He عَزَّوَجَلَّ also says:
إِنَّ
ٱلدِّينَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمُ ۗ
Indeed the only
true religion in the sight of Allah is Islam… [Aal-e-‘Imran 3:19]
And He عَزَّوَجَلَّ says:
وَمَن
يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِى
ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ﴿٨٥﴾
And if one
seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted from him; and he
is among the losers in the Hereafter. [AaI-e-‘Imran 3:85]
Islam is
Almighty Allah’s عَزَّوَجَلَّ final message, and it offers a complete legal code
for humankind. It eliminates and corrects the human errors than have found
their way into previous religions in the realm of both belief and practice.
Just as any new revised law supersedes and nullifies what can before it; Islam
naturally abrogates all earlier religions.
Without a doubt, one will find in every religion, especially those of
divine origins, such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam, noble teachings, good
moral values, encouragement towards good deeds and warnings against evil.
However, what distinguishes Islam from other faiths is that Islam goes beyond
simply urging people to be upright and honest. Islam diagnosis illnesses and
prescribes the treatment. It gives practical solutions to man’s problems and
provides the means of achieving righteousness and eliminating evil from
individual and collective lives. Islam is guidance for mankind from the
All-Wise Creator عَزَّوَجَلَّ who knows what is best and most suitable
for His creation. That is why Islam is called the natural religion of man.
