THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha. 16th day of Dhul-Hijjah, 1444AH (Tuesday, 4th July, 2023). *_ISLAM IS OUR BIRTH-RIGHT_*. *Bismillah*
Innaa Lillahi Wa innaa ilaihi Raajiuun. Please make dua for my mother-in-law in Tamale-Ghana. Mma Maryam. We lost her this morning. She was lovely, gentlemother-in law, full of eemaan. May ALLAH have mercy on her and forgive her shortcomings. May ALLAH grant her Jannatul Firdaus and grant us patience in accepting the decisions of ALLAH. Aameen. Back to our topic.
Islam states clearly that everyone is born a Muslim and is therefore monotheistic by nature. We read in the Qur'an that humanity has been created with the natural disposition towards the unity of ALLAH. In the words of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam: "Every person is born with the innate religious faith (to submit to God Almighty)." Thus when an individual accepts Islam, he is not turning his back on any prior revelation but rather is returning to the original and true revelation of ALLAH and to his own nature as a creation of ALLAH. This being the case, Islam is your birthright not by luck that you were born a Muslim. Other religious or ideological systems are either corruptions our outright denials of Islam.
Islam is not a new religion founded by Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam, but a final Testament of the original revelation that has been conveyed to humanity by messengers and prophets sent by ALLAH for that very purpose: ALLAH ended HIS creation and made Islam as a way of life that HE ordered mankind to follow as ALLAH says; "This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion" (5:3). As the Qur'an is the final revelation and Muhammad is the final prophet, humanity is obligated to accept it: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost all spiritual good" (Quran 3:86). Be a proud Muslim and live your life worthy of others seeing Islam in you not by your claim. *_May ALLAH, AL-‘ALEE (The One Who is above and exceeds all others) keep guiding us all and protect us from any deviation_*. Aameen.
