The Divine Source: The Quran
The only source that can give us internal peace and true answers to our existential questions should be a divine one; it should be a revelation from the Creator, a revelation that is kept safe from distortion.
That is the Quran; the revelation of God to His Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The Quran is the Holy Book of Islam and the divine guidance to all human beings.
❓ UNDERSTANDING
What is Islamic Arabic for Non-Speakers?
Islam is the true Message of God that respects the human mind and encourages a man to read and be the reasoning. For long ages, the human mind has been suffering oppression and irrationalism under the authority of the clergy, who banned reasoning in the medieval ages.
📚 First Revelation: Islam came to release the human mind from its destructive obstacles and to urge man to think. That is why man was ordered in the first revelation of the Quran to “Read.”

Islamic Arabic Non-Speakers and the Human Mind
Encouragement to Think and Reflect
When you read through the Holy Quran, you feel astonished by the number of verses that encourage a man to use reason, to think, and to contemplate.
❝ No soul can believe except by God’s will, and He brings disgrace on those who do not use their reason. ❞
— Quran, Chapter 10, Verse 100
The State of Those Who Reject Reason
❝ Do you think that most of them hear or understand? They are just like cattle– no, they are further from the path. ❞
— Quran, Chapter 25, Verse 44
⭐ KEY FEATURES
Characteristics of Islam
Islam’s very special characteristic is that it gives high value to human intellect and invites humans to walk through the land to explore the beginning of creation.
❝ Say, ‘Travel throughout the earth and see how He brings life into being: and He will bring the next life into being. God has power over all things.’ ❞
— Quran, Chapter 29, Verse 20

📖 CONVERSION STORY
Intellectual Conversion Story: Dr. Jeffrey Lang
Dr. Jeffrey Lang – American Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Kansas
Dr. Lang turned from atheism to Islam after he found answers to all his past questions. That was when his Muslim friend gave him a copy of the Holy Quran and some books on Islam for non-Muslims.
He said that as a mathematician, his mind is used to dealing with facts and figures to find concrete answers. His mathematical mind found it difficult to believe in religion because most religions require faith by acceptance and do not answer man’s logical questions.
💡 “While reading the Quran, I found answers to all my questions about why man has to suffer pain and hardship in life. I found logic and concrete answers in the Quran and realized that Islam respects man’s reasoning.”

🍎 ADAM’S STORY
Islam’s Concept of Adam’s Sin
Correcting Misunderstandings
Common Misconception
Some believe Allah sent Adam and Eve to earth as punishment for their sin.
Islamic Understanding
Allah described Adam’s sin as “a slip” and forgave him shortly after. Adam was created to be Allah’s vicegerent on earth.
❝ Then Adam received some words from his Lord, and He accepted his repentance: He is the Ever Relenting, the Most Merciful. ❞
— Quran, Chapter 2, Verse 37
💡 Key Understanding: Man was not punished by living on earth. All the sufferings, tribulations, and pain are meant to cause a man to grow, to be stronger, wiser and closer to Allah.
🤝 DIRECT CONNECTION
Man’s Relation with God in Islam
Islam meant to redefine man’s relation with God. In Islam, there is no intervention between man and the Creator. No priests have the power to receive confessions or to give the instruments of forgiveness.
Direct Prayer (Sujood)
Prostrating yourself before Him in prayer is the direct way to Allah.
Supplications (Duaa)
Islam considers making Duaa as a high level of worship.
Ask Forgiveness
Prostrate to Allah in prayer and ask for forgiveness directly.
❝ [Prophet], if My servants ask you about Me, I am near. I respond to those who call Me, so let them respond to Me, and believe in Me, so that they may be guided. ❞
— Quran, Chapter 2, Verse 186
👥 PROPHETS IN ISLAM
Belief in All Prophets and Messengers
All Muslims are required to believe in all Prophets and Messengers of Allah, especially those mentioned in Islam and other heavenly religions.
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all
✝️ Jesus and Mary in Islam
In the Holy Quran, Allah (SWT) makes it clear that Jesus is a human Prophet and a Messenger of Allah, and his purified and blessed mother, Mary (Mariam) is a saint.
☝️ The Same Message
All Prophets came with the same message of Islam: monotheism—to worship one God, the Almighty Allah, and not to associate anything with Him.
📖 FINAL INVITATION
Read the Holy Quran with an Open Mind
At the end of this article, I invite all non-Muslims to read the Holy Quran, but with a mind seeking for the truth.
Life is very short, and we will soon move back to our Creator. Only those who hold faith in Him will be winners of His Paradise.
