\u201cO mankind, worship your Lord who has created you and those before you, that you may become righteous. He Who has made the earth a resting-place for you and the sky a canopy, and has sent down water from the sky and thereby brought forth fruits for your sustenance. Do not, then, claim that there is any power that could rival God, when you know.\u201d (Quran 2:21-22) In these verses is the first commandment mentioned in the Quran, God proves…\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The human mind is a true marvel, but in certain areas it is limited. God is different from anything the human mind can think of or imagine, so the mind will become confused if it tries to picture God. Nevertheless, it is possible to understand the attributes of God that do not require one to make any mental pictures of Him. For example, one of God\u2019s names is al-Ghaffar, which means He forgives all sins. Everyone can understand this easily…\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

(part 1 of 3): God the Most-Merciful, the Dispenser of Mercy If someone were to ask, \u2018Who is your God?\u2019 A Muslim response would be, \u2018The Most-Merciful, the Dispenser of Mercy.\u2019 According to Islamic sources, the prophets, while emphasizing God\u2019s judgment, also proclaimed His mercy. In Muslim scripture, God introduces Himself as: \u201cHe is God, other than whom there is no deity, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed.

(part 1 of 2) \u201cThe willingness to forgive and not to punish\u201d is a definition frequently used for the word mercy, but what is mercy in Islam? With Islam, mercy was given a deeper meaning that created a vital aspect in the life of every Muslim, which he is rewarded by God for showing. God\u2019s mercy, which is bestowed on all His creatures, is seen in everything we lay eyes on: in the sun that provides light and heat, and…\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Now and again human beings are prompted to ask themselves some of life\u2019s truly profound questions.

Why Islam? The question \u201cwhy?\u201d demands a rational answer. However, many people think that it is not possible to give rational answers to ideological commitments (by ideology, we mean a system of thought). They believe that a commitment to any theistic ideology is an irrational act. One cannot deny the fact that many people do commit themselves illogically to various ideologies and continue to hold onto them only because they find themselves to be raised up in particular communities.
