| The Basic rules of the Judgment. 
It
is not difficult to ascertain the identity of the true religion and to distinguish
it from the false religion. If we fairly
examine the basic concepts and teachings of different religions then we can choose
the true religion and reject the untrue religion. Following are the three basic
rules of scrutinizing the religion in order to identify the true and false nature
of the religions. - Compatibility with the Natural
laws.
- Unanimity with biological laws.
-
Comprehensive in contents.
Compatibility
with the Natural laws. The true religion will
never clash with the laws of nature. It is quite obvious.
Because if the religion is from God, Who is the sole creator of the universe,
then there should not be any conflict between the cosmic laws and the teachings
of that religion, as both have the same origin. A conflict
will certainly arise between the principles of religion and the natural laws working
in the universe, if the religion is not from The Master of the Universe, Who has
made the laws of universe. Today, the basic structure
of all religions, except Islam, has been shattered by the bombardment of scientific
researchers. The truth of the Nature discovered by the
scientists have nakedly exposed the falsehood of fictitious religions. The
polytheistic religions preaching the worshipping of sun, moon, stars, animals
and thousands of other such gods can not survive now. The edifice of polytheism
has totally collapsed after the discoveries of scientific truths. In 1969, the
Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 astronauts landed on the head of the god (moon) of the
polytheists. That was the most shameful day for all the worshippers of moon, when
one of their gods was under the feet of man. Unanimity
with the biological laws. Another important distinctive
characteristic of the true religion is that its basic principles shows a complete
unanimity with the biological laws of life. If the religion is truly from God,
Who is the creator of man, then the religious precept must comply with the natural
demands of human body. This rule also invalidates all religions except Islam. Islam
is the only religion which not only allows but educates its followers to take
the maximum benefits from the Nature. The Halal and Haram of Islam do not stop
us to enjoy anything but regulate our natural instincts to take the full advantage
of the uncountable blessings of Allah Subhanu taala. The Holy Quran has made it
very clear in the following verse. 
Say:
Who has forbidden the beautiful (gifts) of Allah, which He has produced for His
servants, and the things, clean and pure, (which He has provided) for sustenance?
Say: They are, in the life of this world, for those who believe, (and) purely
for them on the Day of Judgment(7:32) In fact,
Quran has condemned those people who unnecessarily avoid halal things and make
their life miserable. However, Islam certainly demands from its adherants to exercise
self discipline and avoid what is forbidden even if it attracts them. 
Other
religions either totally suppress the genuine demands of the body and society
or leave them totally free to exhaust their precious energy in the abundance of
vast Nature. A few examples of this kind are being cited here to show a marked
difference between the Divine religion and man-made laws.
