Islam is an Evidence Based Faith

Islam is an evidence-based faith. It encourages people to open their hearts and minds to ponder the big questions such as life, love and the universe. God has provided signs in the dunya that point to Him and the wonder of His creation. The Quran encourages us to look at the visible signs and to think about them. This increases faith and certainty.

These signs are many and are visible and discernible to all. The earth, the sky, the sun, the moon, animals, rain, the miraculous workings of the human body, the nature of ecosystems… all these and much more point to a Creator. After converting to Islam these everyday miracles continue to be appreciated and add to one’s faith and conviction.

Islam is a religion on which faith is based on clear proof. It encourages people to use their God-given intelligence to think and ponder over their life and the universe. Although this life is a test, God has provided sufficient signs and guidance to people who are open-minded and sincere to be able to acknowledge the truth.

Unlike other religions, there are many clear proofs, signs and miracles that the book of Islam, The Quran, is from God.

The Quran:

• Is free from any errors or contradictions, despite it being revealed over a period of 23 years.
• Is preserved, word-for-word, since it was revealed in its original Arabic language, unlike other scriptures which have been distorted, changed or lost.
• Contains a simple, pure and universal message that has a profound effect on all those who are sincerely searching for the truth.
• Contains a unique and inimitable style of language that is universally known as the pinnacle of Arabic eloquence and linguistic beauty – yet the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who was known to be unlettered.
• Contains many amazing scientific facts which have only been discovered recently, despite being revealed over 1400 years ago.

The most rational explanation for the many unique and miraculous aspects of the Quran is that it cannot be from other than God.
