✍🏻 *Hayan Yafae* A Call to Those Seeking the Truth To everyone searching for the truth, God Almighty created us to worship Him alone and sent us messengers with scriptures to guide us to the path that pleases Him. A relationship with God cannot be based on our desires or personal preferences; it must be as He, the Creator, has commanded. He knows what is best for us and what pleases Him. Allow me to give you a simple example: if you wanted to give a gift to someone you love, you would choose something that pleases and satisfies them, not just something you like. Similarly, worshiping God must be in the way that He loves and commands, not according to our personal whims or family traditions. For this reason, God sent messengers, from Adam to Noah, then Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and finally Muhammad (peace be upon them all). All these messengers called for the worship of God alone. They informed us that there is Paradise, prepared for believers who worship God without associating partners with Him, and Hellfire for disbelievers who reject faith in God or worship others besides Him. Religion is not just a personal choice or something inherited from our families. It is a profound matter that must be based on sound reason and pure innate nature, which God has instilled in all of us. Islam is the religion that aligns with both reason and our innate disposition. It is the only religion that God has chosen for humanity. The Quran, the book of Islam, is the only scripture preserved by God from distortion and alteration, remaining a clear guide for anyone seeking the truth. As God says in the Quran: “And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter, he will be among the losers” (Quran 3:85). To those seeking the truth, know that Islam is the religion of monotheism, the faith of all the prophets. In Islam, we believe in and love all of God’s messengers, and we hold Jesus (peace be upon him) in high regard as a noble messenger who came to guide people to worship God alone. I invite you to sincerely search for the truth and to ask God to guide you to His straight path. Islam is the way that ensures happiness in this life and the hereafter. It is the only religion that God accepts. We pray that God opens your hearts to Islam and guides you to the truth. If you have any questions or inquiries, we are here to assist you with love and respect.
