Peace be unto all.

So, the question is why do Muslims say that Islam is the Only true religion?

I have PROOF. And when we say PROOF, it means a series of evidences. You don't go to court to present your claim that your statement is true without evidences, do you? Same goes with religion, we don't tell anybody that Islam is the true religion without evidences to back that claim.

To non-Muslims, go ahead and "scrutinize" these evidences. But remember, do it with an objective goal, NOT subjective. Like in a court, you will be the judge. And like a true judge, you must be IMPARTIAL, weigh the evidences RATIONALLY without any BIASES. Analyze it thoroughly using your INTELLECT. And then give your "verdict" to those evidences.

To Muslims, this is to further strengthen your conviction that Islam is indeed the ONLY true religion as we claim it to be. Not just a claim with no bases.

This is where the PROOF is - http://linuses.blogspot.com

Jazakallah for that, anymore of these links would be most appreciated. Brother in your own words if you were asked this question how would you answer this? The answer need not be pages long but i want to know how you would be able to answer this question.

I believe islam is true religion because there are lot of other religions apart from islam in this world, so by comparing those religions with islam i believe that islam is true religion.

If there is only one religion i.e. islam then there is no need to say islam is true religion because everyone will be muslim's.

Eligibility to compare islam with other religion is to first of all read quran so brother please go and read quran and then you will get more doubts regarding islam and we will clear it insha allah.

Brother what is your religion?

I was asked this question myself I answered that:

There are many proofs that Islam is the true religion but for me I find that the Quraan is still in its original form. You may think that how that is so therefore if you look throughout the world you will find that there is no difference in any copy of the Qur’an.

The prophets before were given books however over time they have changed but the Qur’an will never be able to change.

The Christians then may pose the question that how that is so as the Qur’an is written in so many languages and even a particular language is written by different authors, I would answer this by saying that these are mere attempts to translate the Qur’an for different audiences but the actual arabic remains the same.

I am a Muslim, the logic of this question is to equip ourselves for this question as i was asked suddenly and although i answered to the best of my ability i feel that i did not give a persuasive response. I think that if we were to imagine that this question was coming from a non-Muslim and try to answer it so that we know the different responses.

good point

islam is the true religion becuz when i make dua to Allah he listens to me and when i pray my heart feels joy ALHMDILLAH.........if i dont pray then i hav problems in my life...

But some times non muslim prayers will also get's accepted when they pray to ram or ganesha or jesus christ is it not true brother?

i dk i never tried doing that and i wont either....hmmm basically i think so becuz when i m following i get peace n when i dont life is like hell that make me realize how true is Islam

I want to make a humble request for all Brothers/Sisters to make an effort to answer this question in their own words.
a)This will give you the confidence when asked to answer this question because although we all have iman that Islam is haq but when asked the question one is put in the real trial.
b)it will provide others with a better understanding on how to answer the question.

The following is an interesting incident that happened to one of the best scholars of Islam, Imam Razi:

Imam Fakhruddin Al Razi R.A was on his death bed. Shaytan arrived and started providing argument and logic that Allah is not one, and that Allah does not exist. Imam Razi R.A countered shaytans argument and proved to him that indeed Allah is one and does exist. This happened 99 times. Each time shaytan provided logic and Imam Razi R.A countered him. Imam Razi's shaykh was at another place at this time. He was performing wudu when Imam Razi was refuting shaytans logic. He got to know this by means of kashf/ilham. He took some water in his hand and threw the water at the direction of Imam Razi and said something to this effect that " O foolish one, why cant you say that my Allah exists, and is One, without any daleel or proof or logic " . As the story goes this reached Imam Razi and he told this to shaytan. And then he passed away.
And Allah knows best.

For brothers whose prayers always seem to get accepted, could you please do dua for me and the people in africa whose infants are dying of hunger.

Also, about the qur'an it's best to familiarise yourself with the hafs and warsh versions of the qur'an, it might come handy.

My answer would be that it's the only religion that makes sense.

I know that we do not need a reason to believe in islam and i believe in every single of its principles without doubt but if a non-muslim was to ask why Islam is the true religion what would you say?

We laymen sould be very careful:

Trick of Shaytaan while doing Dawah to non muslims.

the question was posed to me by a non-muslim, shall i tell him that i do not wish to answer his question because i may get tricked by shaytaan.
and i havent put myself in any ones shoes this is a real situation i am talking about.

As I mentioned earlier, show him the Quran. We don't have to worry about the end result. Our duty is limited to dawah, guidance comes for Allah Ta'ala alone.

(...Say: (O Prophet) "Verily, right guidance is the guidance of Allah.''...) Al Imraan: 2

Tafseer Ibn Katheer explains:
Allah guides the hearts of the faithful to the perfect faith through the clear Ayat, plain proofs and unequivocal evidence that He has sent down to His servant and Messenger Muhammad .

P.s. Sorry if I came as a bit argumentative, that wasn't the intention.

Assalaamu Alaikum everyone,

Islam is the true religion because:

1. Simplicity - There is none worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammah (sws) is he messenger. Believe in this and you are a Muslim.

2. Quran - This book is the Word of God. Memorized in the hearts of millions of Muslims. Is there anything on this planet that compares to this.

3. Muhammad (sws) - Muslims practice what the messenger (sws) taught. These practices are always scrutinized by every generation to maintain authenticity. Muhammad (sws) passed away over 1400 years ago, yet his actions his words his message lives on. Can anything compare to this?

4. Universal religion - Islam is for everyone, not exclusive to arabs or those born into the religion.

5. The religion has a solution to every problem. Whether these solutions are implemented are a different matter.

Brother byellow200 i already given my opinion that we can't prove any religion truthful unless comparing other religions with it...

There is no competition within single player. If there are multiple players then only you can judge who is best.

If the questioner is christian then answer will be some difficult because christian also believe one god.

If the questioner is Hindu i.e. idol worshiper then answer will be easy you can explain him oneness of allah.

So the answer varies from person to person.

If a questioner is ignorant then it is impossible for him to understand islam or any other religion even if you provide him truth, so leave that type of person to allah.
