Please read till the end —The moments you spend here could change your life
We humans possess a beautiful quality — when someone does good to us or grants us a favor, we feel so thankful and naturally want to do something good to them in return of their favour. However, we also have a weakness: we tend to forget the favors others have done for us over time.
Let’s understand this with an example: We all love our parents and we know how much they’ve done for us since childhood. But with time, we forget their favours and sacrifices and many times we end up disobeying, disrespecting and hurting them. But when someone comes to us and reminds us of the favours parents have done on us, our hearts melt and we realize our mistake, we feel sorry, and go back to them asking for forgiveness, and make a strong commitment to always obey, respect and value our parents going forward.
So yes, forgetting favours is a human weakness — but realizing & admitting it, and being grateful when reminded is a beautiful quality.
God’s Endless Favors Upon Us
Now think about God, the One who created us and blessed us with countless favours. Let us reflect on just few of the several favours he has done to us.
Human life on earth is truly a miracle, sustaining life is not an easy thing. Even before bringing you into this world, God arranged everything for your survival. He created Sun, Moon, Earth, Stars and the entire Universe. The Earth moves around the Sun at the perfect distance and speed, even a slight change in this balance would lead to destruction and nobody would be alive on earth. He made the Earth with the right gravity, temperature, and air pressure. He filled it with water, grew plants to give us fruits and vegetables, and created animals for our benefit. He made the day for our work and activities, and the night for rest and sleep.
Just a few years ago, we didn’t even exist. But when God decided to create you, He began forming you inside your mother’s womb. There, He provided your food and nourishment — while the most remarkable of His creations was being carefully shaped: your head, hands, limbs, and all your organs were being perfectly designed and developed. Then, at the right moment, He brought you into this world. God loves you so deeply that when you were born, He placed a portion of His love into your parents’ hearts so they could care for you, protect you, and raise you in the best possible way. He also gifted you with relatives, friends, and a beautiful social life to surround you with love and support.
From the very moment we were born, we have been constantly benefiting from the countless blessings of God, and we depend on Him every minute and every second. He has gifted us with a beautiful body to experience the wonders and pleasures of life. He gave us eyes to see, brain to think, ears to hear, mouth to speak, tongue to taste food, nose to breathe. The organs inside our body are tirelessly working – heart continuously pumping, lungs filtering air, stomach digesting food, kidneys filtering water, brain keeping us conscious and the list never ends. With our hands and legs, we accomplish countless tasks everyday.
Now just think—Close your eyes for a moment— your whole world will turn dark without vision. Try holding your breath for just a few minutes—you’ll begin to suffocate. How long could you survive without food or water? Can you even imagine life without a hand or a leg? The truth is, we are fully dependent on God’s blessings every single moment. We are nothing on our own. If God were to stop the air for just a few minutes, the whole earth would be full of dead bodies. There are also a number of chemical and biological processes happening inside your body right now, just to keep you alive—most of which we are completely unaware of. Truly, we are witnessing and enjoying miracles upon miracles, and no matter how hard we try, we can never count and enumerate the favors of God.
God Sends Prophets to Remind Us of His Favors
Ever since we came into this world, we humans have been constantly enjoying countless blessings and pleasures, but we have become so busy with the luxuries and attractions of life that we have forgotten the one who granted them. Because human beings often forget God and His blessings, from the very beginning of mankind on Earth, God has been sending His Prophets(Messengers) with divine Scriptures to remind people of His favours and guide them back to the truth.
Since the beginning of humanity, God has sent numerous prophets to call people towards gratitude, righteousness, and remembrance of their Creator. Prophet Adam is the father of humanity as well as the first messenger. After him, many prophets were sent to different nations and communities throughout history. Among the most notable are those who were given divine scriptures: God sent Prophet Moses with the holy book Torah, Prophet David with the Psalms, Prophet Jesus – Son of Mary with the Gospel, and finally, He sent Prophet Muhammad ﷺ with the final and preserved revelation — The Qur’an, a complete and timeless guide for all of humanity.
Every prophet sent by God came with the same fundamental message: Your Creator is One, and you must worship Him alone. They consistently reminded humanity of God’s countless blessings and urged people to be grateful to Him. These messengers clarified what God expects from us, highlighting which actions are pleasing to Him and which are not. They provided the perfect framework for living a righteous life — offering divine guidance for every aspect of human existence. They taught about the ultimate purpose of life, the reality of life after death, the eternal reward of Paradise for those who obey God, and the severe consequences of Hell for those who ignore and disobey Him.
When people received these divine scriptures that reminded them of God and His blessings, something would awaken in their hearts. They would realize their mistakes and seek forgiveness — because deep inside every human being is a natural love and gratitude for their Creator. Once this feeling is awakened, it inspires people to return to God and try their best to live the rest of their lives in obedience to Him and by following the guidance of His messengers.
Changes to Scriptures and the Loss of Teachings After the Prophet’s Time
Over time, after the death of the prophets, people began to deviate in various ways. They would create images, sculptures, or idols of the prophets—initially as a sign of respect and remembrance. But over generations, these images & idols came to be seen as divine, and people eventually began worshiping them. Others took it further, worshiping material objects like the sun, moon, animals, fire, or trees— worshiping created things instead of the Creator. In addition to this, some people began altering the divine scriptures for their own personal gain—a serious crime. As a result, most of the major religious scriptures that exist today have been changed or corrupted by human hands and no longer exist in their original form. This fact is even acknowledged by many leading scholars of those respective faiths. Whenever a scripture was altered and people drifted away from their Creator, God would send another prophet to restore the original teachings and guide humanity back to the truth.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: The Last and Final Messenger of God
God sent approximately 124,000 messengers throughout human history, with Prophet Jesus – Son of Mary (peace be upon him) being the second-to-last. Finally, around 1450 years ago, God sent Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as the last and final messenger to all of humanity. The divine book revealed to him — The Qur’an is the final and complete message from God.
In the Qur’an, Allah makes it clear that He has sent several messengers throughout history to guide humanity. However, He has chosen to mention the names of only 25 of them in the Qur’an. Allah assures us that He sent a messenger to every nation and community, for He is Most Just and does not hold any people accountable until they have received clear guidance through a messenger. Each prophet was sent specifically for their own community and time period. However, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, being the final messenger, was sent for the whole world — for every nation, every race, and every generation and the entire world until the end of time. As such, the Qur’an, the final divine revelation, is meant to be followed by all of humanity.
The Coming of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Foretold in Major Religious Scriptures
Every messenger, in addition to conveying the message of God, would also inform people about the signs of the next prophet to come, and also especially the signs of the final messenger, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Remarkably, many of the major religious scriptures that exist today contain clear references and prophecies about the coming of Prophet Muhammadﷺ, including descriptions of his qualities and mission. These scriptures urged their followers to recognize and follow the final messenger when he arrives. Prophecies regarding Prophet Muhammad ﷺ can be found in the sacred texts of Christianity (The Bible – Old and New Testaments), Hinduism (the Vedas, Upanishads, and Puranas), Buddhism (Sutras mentioning the future Buddha, Maitreya), and Parsi/Zoroastrianism (the Zend Avesta and Dasatir).
The Quran - God’s Final Message to Mankind
Qur’an is the direct speech of God – divine conversation where the Creator speaks to every human being on earth. Within it’s verses, God introduces Himself, explains his attributes, provides powerful signs and all the evidence needed for anyone to believe that it is truly the original message from God. In Quran, God reminds us of his countless blessings, explains the true purpose of life, and urges humanity to be grateful, follow His guidance, and obey His final messenger, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Qur’an serves as a comprehensive guide for mankind, in which the Creator outlines the best way of living — a lifestyle that leads to success in this world and the next.
He also declares that no other prophet will come after Muhammad ﷺ, and that this world will soon come to an end. Allah will establish the Day of Judgment, and every human being will be brought back to life for accountability. Those who lived in obedience to Him, followed His guidance, and worshipped Him alone will be rewarded with eternal Paradise. But those who ignored His message and chose a life of disobedience will face the severe punishment of Hell.
Qur’an is the final and complete message from God. Since no messenger would come after Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, God Himself took the responsibility to preserve the Qur’an and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. And to this day, the Qur’an remains in its original and purest form — untouched and unaltered. No one has been able to alter or corrupt this divine book — nor will anyone ever be able to do so in the future for God Himself has promised to protect it forever. A clear sign of this divine protection is that millions of people around the world—men, women, and even young children—have memorized the entire Qur’an, word for word, just as it was revealed.
Who is Allah (God)?
In the Qur’an, Allah describes Himself as the True God—the one and only Creator, the Master and King of all worlds, and the Originator of everything.
Allah is alone, unique, independent, and indivisible—beyond all comparison. There is nothing like Him. He has no partner or helper; He was neither born nor does He give birth, and He has no parents, children, or family. While everyone is dependent on Him, He is independent and free of all needs.
Allah is Eternal, Ever-Living, and Self-Sustaining- the Most Compassionate and Most Merciful, encompassing all mercy and kindness. He is the Almighty, the Creator, the Inventor, the Shaper, the Supreme in Might, the Majestic King, the All-Wise, and the Sovereign of all creation. He is the Most Holy—free from all imperfections—and the Watcher over everything in the heavens and the earth. Allah is the Ultimate Ruler and Sustainer. He alone is worthy of worship—the Most High, the Greatest, and the All-Perfect. He is capable of everything. There is nothing like Him; therefore, no image, picture, painting, sculpture, or idol should be made of Him, nor should any partners be associated with Him in worship.
These are just a few of the many beautiful attributes and names of Allah mentioned in the Qur’an—each revealing His perfection, majesty, and mercy.
The Error of Worshiping False Gods
There are many religions and belief systems in the world, and people of each religion worship different gods or objects. But here’s an undeniable truth: all human beings were created by the same One God. Just because someone is born into a particular family or culture, they begin to follow that religion and worship the gods associated with it. But this doesn’t mean that people of different religions were created by different gods. We all belong to the same human species—Homo sapiens. We have the same organs, the same blood, the same needs, and the same human nature. This common design is clear and powerful evidence that we all come from one and the same Creator. It is the responsibility of every human being to recognize and worship that One True God.
There are people who worship false gods such as the sun, fire, trees, humans, animals and many other created things. But all of these are merely creations of God, made for the service of humans. Worshiping them is a grave error, because they have no power, no control, and no knowledge—they themselves are dependent on the Creator. Worshiping false gods also goes against reason and common sense. The true God—the Creator of the entire universe—must be extraordinary, far greater than creation, far superior to humans, and beyond all physical limitations. It is illogical to worship something that eats, sleeps, decays, burns, or dies. Such things are not worthy of worship—they are signs of God’s creation, not equals or partners to Him.
Allah strongly condemns the act of worshiping false gods or associating anything with Him. He has clearly stated in the Qur’an that shirk (associating partners with Him) is a major crime, and those who persist in it without repentance face severe punishment. Just imagine—God is the one who created you, nourishes you, protects you, and gives you every blessing, yet some people turn away and worship things that were created by Him. It is not only a violation of truth, but also a deep injustice to the One who deserves all worship and gratitude.
Free Will: Life as a Test from God
God is absolutely rich, self-sufficient, and free of all needs. He does not need us, nor does He gain anything when we praise and worship him. God created us, placed desires within us, adorned the earth with beauty, and gave us intellect and the ability to reflect. Now He is testing us—to see whether we will recognize our Creator by observing the countless signs around us and within ourselves, or we will be distracted by the temporary pleasures and attractions of this worldly life and forget Him. By granting free will, Allah gave us the ability to choose—either to obey Him or to disobey Him by following our desires. This worldly life is a test, a temporary phase to determine who chooses obedience and righteousness over desire and heedlessness. Everything in the universe—the sun, moon, stars, plants, animals—has been created in service to this test. They fulfill their duties as assigned by Allah, while humans and jinn are being observed for how they use their free will.
To guide us, He sends His message through chosen prophets. These messages serve as reminders—calling us to remember Allah’s countless favors and to obey His commands. The test is to see: Will we be grateful and obedient, or will we ignore our Creator and live only for the fleeting enjoyment of this world.
Among all His creations, He granted free will only to humans and jinns. Jinns are another creation of God, made from smokeless fire. They are parallel to humans and live alongside us on Earth, though we cannot see them. Like humans, they have been given free will and are undergoing a test. However, God has favored humans with a higher status, making them superior to jinns. While Jinns are typically invisible to us, on rare occasions, humans may come into direct encounter with jinn—such events have been recorded throughout history.
Journey of a Soul, End of this World and Establishment of Day of Judgement
Have you ever wondered why human beings come into this world, live for a few years, and then die? What really happens after death—and how will this world ultimately end?
According to the Qur’an, death is not the end of a human being. It is simply the transition of the soul from one world to another. This worldly life is a test, where we are unaware of the unseen realities—we cannot see God, His angels, or the next world. But the moment a person dies, their test ends, and the unseen becomes visible. The soul sees the angels who come to take it, and the journey into the afterlife begins. After death, souls enter an intermediate realm called Barzakh. In this stage, believing and obedient souls will be kept in peace, while disbelieving and disobedient souls will face punishment. However, this phase is temporary and continues until Qiyamah (The Day of Judgement).
Qiyamah is a day promised by Allah in the Qur’an. On that day, this world will be destroyed, and every human and jinn who ever lived will be brought back to life and gathered together. It will be a day of ultimate justice, where Allah—the Supreme Judge—will hold each soul accountable for its deeds. Those who responded to Allah’s call, believed in Him and His messengers, and lived a life of obedience will be admitted into Paradise, where they will live forever. Those who denied the truth, lived in disobedience, and ignored the message will be cast into Hell.
Paradise: A Reward for Believing and Obedient Souls
Those who respond to the call of God—who recognize and acknowledge His countless favors, turn to the Qur’an, follow its teachings, worship him alone and live their lives in obedience to Him —are promised a magnificent reward: Paradise. In Paradise, they will be granted whatever they desire, and every wish will be fulfilled. It is a place of eternal peace, joy, and satisfaction—the ultimate success and eternal reward for those who are obedient to the Creator and Pass the test of this worldly life. If this world—created as a temporary test—holds such beauty and pleasure, just imagine the splendor of the Paradise He has prepared as a reward.
According to the Qur’an and Hadith, believers who enter Paradise will be blessed with countless eternal rewards beyond imagination. They will enjoy eternal life, with no death or end, and everlasting happiness, free from sorrow, grief, or pain. In Paradise, there will be no illness, fatigue, or discomfort—only perfect health. Everyone will have eternal youth and beauty, with no aging or blemishes, and as described in authentic Hadith, they will be of ideal height and appearance, resembling the form of Prophet Adam (peace be upon him). There will be no need to work or earn, as all wishes and desires will be instantly fulfilled. Their dwellings will be luxurious, with gardens beneath which rivers flow, grand palaces, and rivers of milk, honey, pure water, and non-intoxicating wine. The people of Paradise will wear garments of silk, adorned with gold and pearls, and enjoy delicious food and drinks in abundance. Their hearts will be pure—free from hatred, jealousy, or ill feelings—and they will live in perfect peace and harmony with their loved ones and righteous companions. Above all, the greatest blessing will be the pleasure of Allah and the ultimate joy of seeing Him, a reward that surpasses all others. He is the One who created desires within you, and He alone can truly fulfill them.
Furthermore, there are multiple ranks in Paradise, and each person will enter a level according to their deeds in this world. Striving for a higher rank in Paradise—through sincere faith, worship, and good deeds—should be our true and ultimate goal.
Punishment for Those Who Reject and Disobey
Those who ignore the call of God—those who are not thankful despite enjoying countless favours of God every moment, who worship false gods, and neglect the Qur’an and the message of their Creator, and who show no interest in knowing or obeying the One who gave them life—have indeed wronged themselves. You’ve become so engrossed in your busy life that you’ve forgotten — or never made the effort — to know the very God who created you and constantly showers you with blessings. Even an animal shows gratitude to someone who treats it kindly just once. Yet you, a human being blessed with intellect and continuous mercy from God, fail to be thankful and obedient to Him.
No matter how good of a person you appear to be — you might be highly educated, holding prestigious degrees, earning billions in business, someone with great influence and status in society, or even regarded as a VIP — if you fail to recognize, acknowledge, and show gratitude for your Creator’s countless favors, if you ignore His call and live in disobedience, then you are a criminal in the sight of God. You’ve wronged your own soul. Go ahead — stay immersed in your work, your busy routine, and enjoy the fleeting pleasures of this life. But know this: you have failed the very test for which you were created. This life is undeniably short and temporary, and death is certain. One day, you will die — your test will end — and you will be presented before God as a disobedient and ungrateful soul. For such people, God has promised a painful punishment in Hell. That is the ultimate and eternal failure—the true loss beyond which there is no recovery.
Don’t be deceived into thinking that this life is entirely your own to live however you wish. You were not born by your choice, nor do you control the events of your life — everything unfolds by the command of your Creator. So don’t waste this precious opportunity by disobeying the One who gave you life, while chasing the fleeting pleasures of this temporary world. Doing so will only ruin your eternal future and result in an unimaginable loss.
Look around — the universe is vast beyond imagination, filled with numerous stars, galaxies, and wonders. The Creator of all this has sent a clear message to you through His final Prophet — the Qur’an. Ask yourself: Have you even cared to read it?
In our endless race for wealth, comfort, and status, we have forgotten the very One who created us and showered us with blessings. Ask yourself: Have you ever paused for a moment to reflect on who granted you all this? Why were you sent into this world? What is the true purpose of your life?
We’ve taken everything for granted. And a person who enjoys all these favors without expressing gratitude to the Creator or following His guidance is truly heedless, ungrateful —ultimately leading to immense loss and failure.
Don’t Ignore the Call: Read the Quran and Let Your Heart Recognize the Creator
If you have reached this point in reading, know that the fundamental message of Islam has reached you and you’re truly fortunate. You are not here by chance — God has brought you here to convey His message, and He guides to success whomever He wills.
Now You have a choice: either ignore this message and continue with your daily routine OR take a moment to reflect and read the Qur’an—the message of your Creator. When such profound claims are made, any wise person, free from ignorance, will at least take the time to explore and research the scripture before rejecting it. It is now your duty to read the Qur’an and decide whether to obey your Creator. As you begin to read, you’ll find that all your questions are answered and doubts cleared. Your heart will recognize that this is the true Word of your Creator. Give your heart a chance, and you will witness the miracles unfolding within you.
Allah's Infinite Love and Mercy for You
If you begin your journey toward Him with sincerity, you will surely feel His presence and witness His signs and mercy along the way. While He loves all of His creation, He is especially close and merciful to those who believe and obey him. God loves you deeply—He is the Most Loving and Merciful. His mercy is so vast that, despite years of disobedience or forgetfulness on your part, He continues to shower you with blessings and favors. He never stopped giving you air to breathe, food to eat, water to drink, good health, sleep, sunlight, and the cycle of day and night. He didn’t punish you immediately when you sinned or disobeyed. Instead, He kept feeding you, blessing you, and patiently waiting for you to return to Him. If you seek Him with a genuine heart, He will welcome you with love and surely guide you. His innumerable favors and blessings in your life are proof of His immense love for you. Now it’s your turn to love Him back by obeying Him. If you take one step toward Him, He will take ten toward you. His love is far greater and deeper than even a mother’s love for her child. You are His most beautiful creation—and He loves you immensely.
A Beautiful and Meaningful Life Awaits Through Belief in God
If you choose to become a Believer(Muslim) and start following the commandments of God, you will discover a beautiful life filled with peace, purpose, and contentment—one that cannot be described in words. As your Creator, Allah alone knows what is truly best for you—just as only a manufacturer fully understands its own creation. He knows us inside and out, and that’s why He gave us Islam for our own benefit: a complete and perfect way of life.
Allah presents Islam as a complete, perfect, and highly beneficial way of life—nurturing the body, mind, and soul. It provides guidance in all aspects of human existence, including belief, worship, personal character, family life, morality, and social justice. The core commandments of Islam, such as Believing in and Worshipping Allah alone—the true God, establishing the Five Daily Prayers (Salah/Namaz), Fasting during the month of Ramazan, Giving Charity (Zakat), and performing the Pilgrimage (Hajj), are all designed for our own good. They promote physical and mental health, happiness, self-discipline, compassion, and a strong sense of purpose. By living according to Islam, you gain a balanced, confusion-free lifestyle and the inner satisfaction of living in obedience to your Creator, with the ultimate goal of earning the eternal reward of Paradise.
Look around the world today—so many evils are widespread: robbery, dacoity, gambling, intoxicants (alcohol and drugs), prostitution, usury (interest), dishonesty, corruption, illegal relationships, and injustice. Islam strongly prohibits these harmful and destructive behaviors, protecting the purity of one’s mind, body, and society. It promotes a clean, responsible, and upright way of life. Allah, our Creator, has given us a divine system—Islamic Sharia law—based on justice and fairness. If implemented correctly, it has the power to solve all the problems of humanity and establish lasting peace and harmony in the world.
Allah's Mercy Awaits: Don’t Delay Turning to Your Lord
Allah is the Most Merciful. Just turn to Him with sincere repentance and seek His forgiveness, and He is ready to forgive all your past sins, no matter how many or how great. His doors of mercy and forgiveness remain open as long as you are alive. But know this: when the angel of death arrives, the test ends. At that point, the reality will be unveiled—and belief and obedience then will no longer be accepted- it will be too late. Today, you are still alive, and you still have a chance. So don’t delay! Hasten to your Lord, build your hereafter, and dedicate the rest of your life to His obedience—so you may earn Paradise — the ultimate and eternal success.
