This
is Love of Allah (God) that he sent Messengers for the Guidance of
Mankind and always ready to forgive us whenever we sincerely ask for
forgiveness and repent.
And it did not beseem
your Lord to
have destroyed the towns tyrannously, while their people acted well,
(Al_Quraan_011.117).
Sin:
Any
act a person does against what Allah (God) has mentioned in the Quraan
is a sin.
Adam
and Eve's Sin:
And We said: O Adam!
Dwell you and
your wife in the garden and eat from it a plenteous (food) wherever you
wish and do not approach this tree, for then you will be of the unjust,
(Al_Quraan_002.035).
But the Shaitan (Devil)
made them BOTH
fall from it, and caused them to depart from that (state) in which they
were; and We said: Get forth, some of you being the enemies of others,
and there is for you in the earth an abode and a provision for a time,
(Al_Quraan_002.036).
Allah
Forgave both Adam and Eve:
Then Adam received
(some) words from
his Lord, so He turned to him mercifully; surely He is Oft-returning
(to mercy), the Merciful, (Al_Quraan_002.037).
They said:
"Our Lord, we
have harmed ourselves!
If You do not forgive us
and grant us
mercy, weŽll be losers", (Al_Quraan_007.023).
Forgiveness:
And He it is Who accepts
repentance
from His servants and forgives sins and He knows what you do,
(Al_Quraan_042.025).
If any of you did evil
in ignorance,
and thereafter repented, and amend (his conduct), lo! He is
Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful, (Al_Quraan_006.054).
(Asked
Allah to forgive you and never ever think to do the sin again,
otherwise it will be like a joke with Allah)
No
FEAR to Believers (Friends of Allah):
Now surely the friends
of Allah
(Believers) -- they shall have no fear nor shall they grieve,
(Al_Quraan_010.062).
Those who believe and
guarded
(against evil), (Al_Quraan_010.063).
They shall have good
news in this
world's life and in the hereafter; there is no changing the words of
Allah; that is the mighty achievement, (Al_Quraan_010.064).
Messengers:
And every nation had a
messenger; so
when their messenger came, the matter was decided between them with
justice and they shall not be dealt with unjustly, (Al_Quraan_010.047).
And certainly We raised
in every
nation a messenger saying: Serve Allah and shun the Shaitan. So there
were some of them whom Allah guided and there were others against whom
error was due; therefore travel in the land, then see what was the end
of the rejecters, (Al_Quraan_016.036).
Last
Messenger:
Muhammad is not the
father of any of
your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Last of the
prophets; and Allah is cognizant of all things, (Al_Quraan_033.040).
Example
in the Life of Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) From Birth till
Death:
There are excellent examples
in the life of Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) as a Global Role
Model for the whole World, which starts from the day He
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) born till He (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) passed away, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_033.021).
Say, O [Muhammad], "I am
only a man (HUMAN)
like you to whom it has been revealed that your god is but one God; so
take a straight course to Him and seek His forgiveness." And woe to
those who associate others with Allah, (Al_Quraan_041:006).
Example
of Mercy to the Global World:
There is no doubt
Prophet Muhammad
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) was true MERCIFUL
to mankind, (Ref: Al_Quraan_021.107). After entering into Makkah, he
and his followers forgave people of Makkah.
Example
of Lenience (compassionate):
There is no doubt
Prophet Muhammad
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) was true LINIENT
(compassionate) to mankind otherwise people could have runaway, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_003.159).
Example
of Lowering Voice:
There is no doubt
Prophet Muhammad’s
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) voice had Soft
Tone like a true lover of mankind, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_031.117-119).
Example
of Saving Mankind:
Prophet Muhammad
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him)
always tried to Save
Mankind
regardless of any discrimination of religion, race or color etc., (Ref.
Al_Quraan_005.032).
End
of all Prophecies and End of all Holy Books or Booklets:
Forbidden to you is that
which dies
of itself, and blood, and flesh of swine, and that on which any other
name than that of Allah has been invoked, and the strangled (animal)
and that beaten to death, and that killed by a fall and that killed by
being smitten with the horn, and that which wild beasts have eaten,
except what you slaughter, and what is sacrificed on stones set up (for
idols) and that you divide by the arrows; that is a transgression. This
day have those who disbelieve despaired of your religion, so fear them
not, and fear Me. This day have I perfected for you your religion and
completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion; but
whoever is compelled by hunger, not inclining willfully to sin, then
surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful, (Al_Quraan_005.003).
Quraan
FREE from ERROR and Protected by Allah:
Surely We, even We,
revealed the
Reminder (the Quraan), and We verily are it’s Guardian.
(Al_Quraan_015:009).
Will they not then
consider the
Quraan with care? If it had been from other than Allah they would have
found therein much discrepancy, (Al_Quraan_004:082).
(Here God challenges
people to find
an error in the Quraan. If it contains errors then it cannot be from
God. If, on the other hand, it had been the production of a human being
it would definitely contain errors. A human writer 1400 years ago would
have written on the basis of the level of knowledge of his or her day.
And many of those ideas would turn out to be false later as humankind
learns more, especially in the field of science. But the Quraan is
remarkably free from error.)
Terrorism in
the name of Peace:
And when it is said to them, Do not make mischief in the land, they
say: We are but peace-makers, (Al_Quraan_002:011).
Let there be NO
compulsion in
Religion (Believe), Truth stands out clear from error,
(Al-Quraan_002:256).
