Is
it not rational to test your faith? There are thousands of religions in the
world.The major religions which have a large number of followers are Judaism,
Christianity, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Buddhism,Jainism, Taoism,
Shintoism, and Sikhism. How can we identify
the true religion when the adherents of all religions claim that their s
isthe true one? This is not difficult.
One can search the true religion from the bulk of religions if he is sincerein
his research and investigation. For instance,
If you study all the major religions of the world, the outcome of yourunprejudiced
research would be as follows: Islam is the only
religion which agrees with the human nature.

Allahs
handiwork according to the pattern on which He has made mankind: (30:30).
For
example, The engineers always try to foresee students concerns in such areas
as safety and the environment when they plan to design school buildings. Similarly
the laws of Islam are made by Allah Subhanahu taala according to the pattern on
which He has created the human beings and the environment in which they were planed
to live. Islam is the only religion which never
collides with any of the cosmic laws.
He Who created the seven heavens
one above another: Do you see any fault in the work of Merciful? Turn up your
eyes: Can you detect any rift? Then look once more and yet again: your eyes will
in the end grow dim and weary. (67:3-4)
The perfect order and harmony in
the vast space, visible and invisible to us, following precise laws of motion,
proves absolute unity and supreme authority of a single creator.
The multiple
laws of nature are closely connected with each other in the continuous working
of the universe. There is no gap, no overlapping nor discontinuity. This phenomenon
is one of the signs of the unity of the creator. Thus, the laws of religion and
laws of cosmos have the same origin and therefore the question of collision does
not arise. - Islam is the only religion which gives
strong emphasis on pondering, reasoning and rational thinking. Islam demands its
followers to understand the Holy Quran and then show its applications in practical
life. Quran has repeatedly advised the Muslims to ponder, to reflect and to understand
its message. Quran has made it very clear that it is addressing to only those
people who are intellectuals.

Thus
do We explain the signs in detail for those who understand (7:32)
Thus
do We detail our message for people who have knowledge (7:32)
Here are
signs for people who are wise ( 30:28)
Verily there are signs for people
who reflect (39:42)
Verily in this are signs for people endued with intelligence.
(13:3)
Quran was revealed in Arabic which was the language of Arabs.

We
have revealed (Quran) in Arabic so that you may understand (12:2)
Soon
after the introduction of Islam in non-Arab countries, the people of that countries
translated it into their own language. Many people learned Arabic just to understand
Quran.
Christians and Jews who live in English speaking countries also
needed a translation of the Bible. But the first English translation of the Bible
appeared in the 1380s. Mar tin Luther translated Bible into German language
in 1534.
Why the Bible was translated so late into the language of the
people? Because the evangelists never allowed to arrange translations and discouraged
people to read it in their own language.
Similarly in Hindus, a special
group of people known as Brahmans were allowed to read the religious books.
