Certain questions arise. Agreeing on some
facts entails some implications.
Is there a God? One God? The Creator and Sustainer of the Universe? The Creator
of human beings? If so, it implies then:
1). God must have given some Divine guidance. We feel God has provided this
innate guidance! He says in the Quran, Chapter 91, Verse 8: denoted as (91,8): "Then
He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him".
This inherently means human beings since Adam and his wife Eve, are born with
the goodness of life. The morality of life. Respecting our elders. Respecting our
parents. Loving our siblings. It's the innate goodness in us. It was not
something that human beings transformed over centuries.
2). As the Qur’an tells the basic premise of human beings' creation is the
'freedom' of actions. Based on the Qur’an's verse (91:8) above, the world
around us as we know is a testing ground for us all. Freedom entails good and
bad deeds AND being responsible for our actions!
God has provided enough for all here. It is humans who create divisions. The
bane of wars, massacres, and injustices are all exercised through the free will
of human beings.
3). Again, based on the same Quran's verse (91:8) we feel God's Divine religion
only guides us in sending down His Law in some matters, where human beings are
deemed to falter. The case of inheritance. Matters of divorce. Matters that
remain grey areas for human beings.
God's religion has a determined, most
specific topic. Like other subjects of the world, God’s message, the Qur’an, has
a set subject and topic. That is the ‘reminder of the Hereafter’.
