Why Islam is the most perfect religion ? Everyone says that my religion is the most perfect religion . We see that all religions worship a god or Islam or Buddhism , Jew or Christian or pagan as it is to believe in God . Even the heathen idol or the existence of God who believe. So what is this Islam has properties that make it the most complete religion called ?

Among other religions, Islam is superior characteristics and unique . Comprehensive study of these points depends on extensive studies and is spacious . , In this paper is to summarize some of them Kavym : Scores of Islam
One . Rationality and Khrdprvry
The main points of Islam , rationality , rationality and above Khrdprvry its teachings . The problem is charting on various matters , including :
11 . Muslim intellectual and ideological systems ( eg, theology , ontology , anthropology , and eschatology Rahnmashnasy ) ;
21. Moral System of Islam ;
31. Behavioral and practical system of laws and regulations ;
[41]. Invites investigation and questioning of religion .
Rationality teachings of Islam, the Quran is of such clarity , has invited man to study smart and choose wisely religion and blindly accept the religion forbids any kind of coercion and that: " Fbshr Sunflower Alzyn consensus Ystmvn Fytbvn Hsnh 141 , so give glad tidings to my slaves , those who listen to the words , and choose the best "and" La reluctantly fi al- height explain my growing Alghy " 142 " no coercion in religion is not valid , the good guidance was clear from error . "
Professor Lgnhavzn 144 states: " Nothing in Islam, above all , was the attraction for me , was that it welcomes the religion of the questions people always call for more research on the teaching of religion as ' 145
Homo says: " When I asked the priests that I do not understand what God is one and three ? In most cases, they respond that we can not arrive at an understanding of this doctrine . Only God knows what the truth of this matter . The secret is that only God knows the reason for the deadlock is here ! Among the very interesting things that I was told was that the Muslim religion accept the eyes and ears closed, but are invited to ask . This character is much higher , especially among the Shi'a , " 146
Ms. Marguerite Marcus ( Mary J. ) in this regard says : " After all, Kish great ideas , I studied , I found that in general had a great religion , but over time are corrupt . Idol worshipers think of reincarnation and classified the Hindu cult spread . Seeking absolute peace and seclusion of the Buddhist cult characteristics . Worship of ancestors among Confucian ideas , the originality of the idea of sin and the Trinity , and thus the concept of the Christian God and the intercession of Jesus on the basis alleged death with Christian , Jewish Chosen People monopolize power and therefore this deviation. None of these ideas that had disgusted me , was not found in Islam but increasingly felt that the only genuine religion is Islam , which has maintained its purity . Other religions , only some of its components , is economical with the truth but the whole truth is maintained only in Islam " 147
2 Islam and Science
Despite what was stated in conflict and incompatibility of Christianity with knowledge , faith and knowledge , are closely linked and inseparable . Unity and reconciliation of religion and science in Islam is notable in three significant areas :
A ) To encourage the acquisition of knowledge
"It's Talab al-'Ilm Fryzh Ali the Moslem ; 148 Surely science learning every muslim . "
And concludes: universe benefit from his knowledge is better than seventy thousand worshipers at 0.149 validity books and religious texts in this regard are detailed chapters .150
Two ) strengthening the scientific spirit :
Islamic moral values ​​and the path to verification researchers and knowledge creation Nmynhd no barrier . Quran recitation free search and selection of research and study Sla RAHAVARD reasonable and has said: " And give glad tidings to His servants listened and the words they chose the best . " 151
Three) having scientific themes :
Islamic religious texts are full of themes and academic content .non -Muslims have written hundreds of books on Quran scientific Rhavrdhay .
Of the compatibility of Islam with human knowledge has a brilliant track record . Boca Morris , 152 French scientists , this relationship refers to two basic points :
One of great richness Quran scientific issues , whereas the Old Testament ( Torah ) and the New Testament (Bible ) than many of them are quiet and lacked certain data of 0.153
2 firm, has agreed with the findings of the Quran sciences solid and credible whereas the Old Testament and the Gospels into irreconcilable conflicts in this area are suffering . Boca wrote: " I ​​have no mind retrospectively and with complete objectivity , the Koran , and I wanted to compatibility with the body of scientific knowledge today Bsnjm ... at the end I was obvious that the Quran, no affirmativa and to prove the not yet addressed in this contemporary era , where it can be criticized and questioned the scientific perspectives .
This method is based on objective reading of the Old Testament and the Gospels . The Old Testament is not required in any way to the foot of the first book , ie , travel genesis ( creation ) lay beyond , to Takydaty irreconcilable with strong knowledge of the day, I hit !
The first page of the Bible , genealogy and ancestry of Jesus (pbuh ) is our difficulty because in this text with the text of Matthew Gospel of Luke is clearly in contradiction . History of human appearance on earth today completely incompatible materials Luke education " .154
Islam , in this regard , another fundamental point of view of Islam, Christianity , and it is a science . Islam is the religion of the Gsstnapzyry knowledge , wisdom , faith , wisdom and salvation gives fatwa .155 but Christianity the official faith of the forbidden tree, Adam and Eve were driven from Paradise guilty eating it and consequently of all mankind divine wrath and were guilty of anything but tree of knowledge of good and evil has been " taken away the Lord God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden to enable him to succeed and their consideration , and to the man , he says: what you'll eat the tree but could not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil , whenever they want to eat good man " .156
The third chapter explains the offense of Adam , God said: "Now a man like one of us that good and evil are cleaned and is now reaching out to the tree of life and eat and to live life So he went out of Eden ... " .157
According to this doctrine , the search for knowledge and wisdom and Khlvd inconsistent with the redemption of man in heaven. In other words , it appeared that either you chose salvation in heaven or in search of knowledge sought . So it will be heaven and salvation , must traverse the distance through which knowledge and that knowledge seeks to be a heavy price to pay for eternal salvation leaving Paradise !
Motahari wrote about it : "This withdrawal of all temptation , temptation announcement is the reason Satan is the tempter ," 158.

Immaculate 3 -divine book.
One of the main points of Islam over other religions, " scripture " is. Qur'an , for on the books of several other religions are rated . Some of these ways include:
13 God's word , the Holy Quran is a book that all by God , the Prophet ( PBUH) and all terms and words used in it , God's word is the same . In other words, Islam is a religion that is readily available directly from the word of God and man acquaints him with the words , whereas for other religions , and the do not have the even claiming an been deplete .
Dr. Morris Boca wrote: " Another major difference between Christianity and Islam, the holy book of Christianity is that no text has been established through divine revelation , but Islam is the Quran and the high standard read.
Propositional revelation of the Qur'an through Gabriel to Muhammad ( pbuh ) has come .al ) is " 159.
Thomas Mitchell , professor of theology and Christian pastor writes : Unlike the Quran , the holy book is set between 66 to 73 books written over 1500 years of history and a large number of authors who have forgotten the names of many of them to prepare them to deal with complex operations .
He said : " Basically, do not tell God Christian holy books have been dictated by human authors , but he is believed to express their own style and with a divine message for writing and writing style of each of success is " .160
Michael noted that the authors of the Bible , not the innocent suffering of limitations and constraints in language and color, its time had come , and hence the errors are established as a memorial in the Bible : " Sometimes the human author theories are false or erroneous information that the text remains in effect » 161 .
Robert A. . Hume writes : " Islam is of the order of God's revelation in Scripture CLEARLY a particular person is the founder of this religion , is unique among world religions . The main speaker of the Qur'an is God ... " 162.
23 Thryfnapzyry Quran is a book of non-distorted throughout the centuries has always maintained its originality and force of man is short of robbing distortion , whereas none of the current religions of does not have the features . " Force" is an addition to the original divine message of the Qur'an , for it can be mentioned the following :
123 E. descended from the ( Lord ) 163
223 E. revelation from angels supplier to the Prophet ( PBUH ) 164
323 E. The Revelation of the Prophet (pbuh ) , 165
423 E. The revelation communicated to the people of the Prophet (pbuh ) , 166
523 E. Survival and continuity in the historical revelation in human history to finish .167
Muslims believe , scriptures revealed to the previous prophets infallibility of Holy Quran peer Hampa first four steps are the fifth step 168 , however E. ( non-distorted eternal among the people ), the specificities of the Qur'an.
33 Miracle Mission document ; prophets to prove his mission , have miracles , but their scripture , except Miracle and proof of his mission . But the Quran is a miracle , the mission of the book is both a proof of its truth . On the other hand , this book is a miracle of eternal rest and living document on the mission that cuts across the centuries and ages , and everyone is required to Thdy . While the miracles of previous prophets , and no trace of it is visible only to the audience and societies deprived of its View .169
In addition, the scripture of Islam , has numerous concessions for the content of their study requires a wider opportunity .
4 Extensive
Other features of Islam against other religions, is that it is comprehensive . Islamic history has brought the program to the end of human evolution . John debts port writes : " ... the Qur'an in accordance with the Gospel Kvmb research is different because the Bible is a school of jurisprudential method , but overall, its content is composed of stories and narratives and statements Thryz and encourage the dissemination of human emotion. and feel great sacrifice and ... but no rational relationship between the agent and the meanings that relate to fun and catchy , the Bible does not exist. Furthermore, the Qur'an is like the Gospels as the only index of about religious beliefs and worship and practice is known about it , but with school policy and procedures as well because in other words, by device , and the throne and political, the foundation has been poured on any type of legal affairs , is taken from this source . Finally, let the same source and origin of all critical issues and financial regulation , the solution is 0.170 and 171
5 Islamic legal system
Concessions on other religions , including Islam , its traditional legal system . Many scholars in the West this has prompted the admiration and wonder . Regarding the first point , the unique role of Islam in the founding and development of international law .
Marcel Bvazar 172 Institute of Higher Studies in International Law at Geneva , wrote: " In the Middle Ages, when Christianity was a downturn in the rules used by experts of Islamic law . In the thirteenth century the universities of Europe, the principles of Islamic jurisprudence were studied . If the founding philosophy of international law in relations between nations and prevent encroachment powerful transformation of prosperity , equality and brotherhood of mankind we must recognize that the Muslim Prophet sawa was the founder of international law " 0.173
Principles of Human Rights in Islam
Human rights or international law principles of Islam , including :
One . Principle of the sanctity of human dignity ;
Two . Principles of justice , equality and discrimination ;
Three . Genuine peace and peaceful coexistence ;
4 . Principle is to fulfill that promise ;
5 . Genuine understanding and tolerance ;
6 . Principle of international collaboration ;
7 . The protection of the oppressed nations and 174.
Mentioned principles in the eyes of Western scholars , is taken into consideration . Marcel Bvazar about the principles of peaceful coexistence and understanding wrote: " The followers of divine religions , primarily Islam must be said , and put them safely in Islamic society are supported . They are free to act in accordance with their religious orders , especially when their rights have been recommended in the Qur'an . The Christian and Jewish religious tolerance , absolutely there , especially the followers of the Jewish faith , forced to perform the ritual are very strict and demanding , " 175.
He writes: "In the Jewish religion , there are supremacists and Christian brotherhood , God's relation to the practical aspect of social life and overcome the current situation is not applicable. But in Islam ... The thought of going to extremes could be observed , which is derived from the Quran , the religion of Islam promotes universal soda . Islam seeks to build the world that all people, even those who have remained loyal to their former faith with understanding, cooperation , fraternity and equality are full of life " .176 177
6 seal of prophecy
Islam is the seal and the seal of prophecy , pillars and accessories are included :
16. Religious laws earlier versions of every prophet law brought in earlier versions of Sharia and Islam as the final religion and a complete program of human happiness by God excludes all of the previous law .
[26]. Copies of permanence ; religion and Islam in terms of its seal , is the reliability and durability . This debt will never be abrogated and replaced by another law it is not .
35 . Being universal , essential and dynamic excludes Islam is that this religion , an alternative , and the only flagship public invitation to monotheism and the unity of all men under the law and the law of unity and prosperity sole cause of God. Other features on attractions and points of Islam and its teachings , there is the refusal to briefly mention them .
7 is criminalizing denial of 178
One of the main points of Islam , against some other religions, especially Christianity , is not adornment of themes Angaranh and dispositions of nihilism denying 179 ( criminalizing not high). According to Professor Flatvry , an element not found in Islam there is no excuse for criminalizing such as Nietzsche puts 180 in the cultural field , is tantamount to criminalizing it . An explanation of Nietzsche , nihilism concept is vague, knows that one of its aspects like the strength and spirit of his words , " active nihilism " and no means seem to fall and the waning power of the Spirit ( nihilisms passive ) 181. Criminalizing not passive, creative force of decay and lack of purpose and meaning of life and what makes up the actual values ​​, the result is 182.
Active nihilism , reveals the utter absurdity and passive nihilism , in other words is revealing . Criminalizing not passive, belongs to the western culture and the foundation of Nietzsche's metaphysical thought of Plato and Christian religious belief . The major Christian element in Plato considered his negative view of the world that we 're living . Plato believed in the Christian faith , this world we 're living in a world of imaginary and fictitious , untrue and false and bad and ugly considers 183. Christianity is not a religion Angaranh he calls 184 and says : yes , no , and not just rhyme rhyme criminalizing Christianity that are graceful .185
In contrast , there are two key Islamic teachings through the many criticisms of Christianity and Judaism , including the attitude of Nietzsche closes. It consists of two elements : 1. Absolute monotheism of Islam makes up the theme and content of religious faith . Two . Positive attitude to the world as the principle of life .
In this view, the prophet of the divine nature, and scope refers to the realm of the real, the unreal world and the world does not appear to have been 186 . Islam was in the world , he is detachable and the world , as the world is real. It does not give the Islamic teachings to justify criminalizing it will not be branded so that is also denying Nietzsche , Christianity is not a religion, it destroys Angaranh life science and culture Islam brought to ruin praise .
He writes : " Christianity , the fruits of our ancient civilization and achievements of Islamic civilization was later denied. Islamic civilization in Andalusia Muslim rule in accordance with our Khvyshavndtr Greece and Rome and the meaning and worth of creativity and taste them, trample , because this civilization was trampled ? For his originality ... That being said yes to life ... " 187.
8 do not need religion to modern
God is not in wording contradicts the teachings of the holy books of other religions and the scientific achievements and modern Hajat , scholars and theologians in the West was the era in which religion , turn to because it is not ignoring the achievements of scientific and modern needs environmental conflicts can not be possible , nor sacred texts such validity and reliability , and enjoy the themes of science overtaken . Hence, or be in conflict with the religion of reason and science , retired or collect between religiosity and live in the present , Dean took the time to paint and this option was acceptable to Western thinkers .
The age of religion , to replace religion or Serial changes and new scriptures , they are not keeping pace with modern developments , but the understanding and presentation of various versions of the religion to fit the intellectual development , cultural and historical.
