I am a Muslim, not by inheritance or blind imitation, but rather out of conviction and certainty. Because I see Islam as the true religion that is in harmony with sound human nature—that nature that naturally inclines toward monotheism, rejects polytheism, and seeks a single, great Creator unlike any other creation, and is not limited by time or place. Islam is the only religion that declares God to be one in a manner befitting His majesty and perfection, without likening or embodying Him. It glorifies God with an absolute glorification befitting His greatness. Islam has answered the greatest existential questions that trouble the human mind and nature, such as creation, the purpose of life, and destiny after death. In it, I have found peace, certainty, and clarity. Islam is not merely a belief; it is a comprehensive way of life that meets humankind's spiritual, intellectual, and social needs, and strikes a balance between this world and the hereafter, between the individual and society, between the soul and the body. The Islam I believe in is an extension of the divine messages from Adam, peace be upon him, to the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad, peace be upon him. All prophets called for Islam in its true sense: monotheism, submission to God, and servitude to Him alone, even though their laws differed according to their peoples and times. But the law brought by Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the final and final law. It came in the form of the Holy Qur'an, the miraculous word of God, preserved by His preservation until the Day of Judgment. This is what we see being fulfilled now: "A moment of reflection and truth." God Almighty says: "Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian." [Al-Hijr: 9] It has not been subject to distortion as other scriptures have been. It has remained preserved in hearts and pages, recited as it was revealed, and memorized by millions for more than fourteen centuries. As for all other religions, despite their remnants of light and revelation, they have been subjected to distortion and alteration. Truth has become mingled with falsehood, they have lost their power in the face of the questions of human nature and reason, and they have become incapable of providing coherent answers to life's major questions. Some wise men once said: "Fitness is the path to God, reason is a witness, and revelation is a guide. Whoever combines these three will be guided, and whoever neglects them will go astray." Imam Ibn al-Qayyim, may God have mercy on him, said: "The true religion does not contradict human nature or contradict clear reason. Rather, it agrees with and complements them." Therefore, I am proud of my Islam and believe that it is the path to salvation in this world and the hereafter. It is the guidance that, if a person adheres to it, will never go astray or suffer misery.
