peace be up on you
Each person is born in a religious environment that is not of his/her own
choice. From the very beginning of human existence in this world, they
are assigned the religion of their family or the ideology of the state. By the
time individuals reach their teens they usually accept the beliefs of their
parents or that of their particular society.
However, when some people mature and are exposed to other beliefs
and ideologies, they begin to question the validity of their own beliefs.
Seekers of truth often reach a point of confusion upon realizing that
believers of every religion, sect, ideology and philosophy all claim to have
the one and only correct religion or ideology. There are only three
possibilities. They are either all correct; all wrong or only one is correct and
the rest are wrong. They cannot all be right since all religions are different
from each other in their fundamentals. Furthermore, the majority claim that
they alone are correct and the rest are wrong. On the other hand, to claim
that they are all wrong is to deny that God revealed His will to humankind.
This proposition is absurd to those who believe in a Wise Creator. So, which
religion is the right one and how can the seeker of truth know it? This is the
subject of the booklet in your hands.
In beginning one’s search for which religion is true, one should keep
four things in mind: First, God gave us the ability and intellect to make the
crucial decision: WHAT IS THE TRUE RELIGION? Second, God, the
Most Compassionate, did not leave us to go astray without any guidance.
Indeed, He sent us prophets with scriptures to show us the right path. Third,
seeking the true religion should be the most important thing in one’s life
because the everlasting life to come depends on it.1 Fourth, one can
determine the true path and make a rational and correct decision only if
emotions and prejudices, which often blind one to reality, are put aside.
1 The Bible, in its present form, confirms that seeking the truth is the main cause for
salvation. It states in John 8:32: “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make
you free.” Muslims believe that the existing form of the Bible contains facts of theoriginal truth though it has been significantly altered

جزاكم الله كل خير عن الاسلام والمسلمين
بس هو حضرتك ممكن تتكلمي عن الاعجاز العلمي والشرائع العظيمة والاخلاق الحميدة التي يحملها الاسلام
الكلام الروحاني لن يجدي معهم شيء لان غالبهم ماديين يؤمنون بالمادة لاقصي درجة ,ممكن الكلام يكون به بعض الروحانيات ولكن لاتكون هي الاساس
ولنا في جعفر بن ابي طالب خير المثل وهو يعرض الاسلام علي النجاشي في الحبشه
وجزاكم الله خير كثيرا
واحسن الله اليكم
اخى الفاضل
الفاتح الجعفرى
وجزاكم بافضل منه يا سيدى
ولكنى كنت فى البدايه اكتب رد على الاسئله التى يسئلونها
ونصحنى احد اساتذتى ان ابتعد بداية عن الاعجاز وقالانهم لن يقتنعوا به
زلكن اعد ان شاء الله ان اعيد النظر فى خطه المدونه
السلام عليكم
=============
الصراحة انا كنت محتار اكتب التعليق بالعربى ولا بالانجليزى بس الحمد لله قررت انه يكون بالعربى لغه القران
وفعلا جزاكى الله خيرا على فكرة نشر الاسلام فى بلاد الغرب عن طريق التدوين
ونأسف لللازعاج فى الزيارة الاولى للمدونة

Beautiful words. I was born a Christian. To be honest I don't know a lot about Islam. I believe however strongly that the core of all religions is love. If you are good to others than you are on the right track.
Thanks for visiting my blog

السيدة الفاضلة صاحبة التعليق الاخير في مدونتي هذه العبارة مزاح بيني وبين اخي وحبيبي الاستاذ مصطفي صاحب مدونة بصمة وجدان والاخوان علي راسي من فوق ياسيدتي
مشتاق لله
جزاكم الله خيرا وضحت الرؤيه
I want not agree on it. I think precise post. Especially the appellation attracted me to be familiar with the intact story.
Amiable fill someone in on and this enter helped me alot in my college assignement. Thanks you seeking your information.
You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
