Why do i need Islam when i already know what's right and wrong without a religion telling me how to live my life?
Alslamu
Alikum..
Well,
basically there are plenty of reasons for why you need Islam not just
one:
- As long as we
already established that Allah swt is the creator of the universe[1]
and that He
already exists[2] and that his
message is authentic[3] then whatever He ordains to us
would happen and how we feel about it doesn't make any difference
regarding it.
- Islam came to tell us who our creator truly is and who
He isn't, what befits Him and what doesn't, why did He create us, what He
expects from us, how can we connect with Him and to correct all the
misconceptions we might have about Him whatever they are or wherever they
came from. And that is something no man can ever reach, learn or know out
of his own brain without Allah swt sending us a clear message from Him to
tell us the answer of all these questions and this message is Islam[4]
Alhamdu llah.
- Islam's not just telling you how to live your life and be a
good person, it's telling everyone around you to do the same. Maybe you
think you know what's right and wrong and willing to bind by it but how
about the billions living in this world who don't while your daily life
cross paths with theirs on daily basis?! So when Allah swt tells you
not to steal from others for instance He is telling others at the same
time not to steal from you even if they can get away with it in this life.
So basically these commandments are not just about telling you what to do
but they are also protecting you and your loved ones from others at the
same time.
- Islam is not just about organizing our life but it’s about
giving us a happy, healthy, successful, productive and safe life in
this world and in hereafter too by going to paradise for eternity
and escaping hell which is The Most Crucial Aspect for everyone of
us because Allah swt makes it perfectly clear that He forgives
any sin - if He pleases - if one dies doing without
repenting except one which is rejecting His message
after receiving it correctly and clearly.[5] [6] So
for anyone to be able to succeed in hereafter as well by going to paradise
for eternity and escaping hell s/he must at least die believing in
Allah swt and his messengers accepting Islam[7] [8] and
that's the crucial part of it all.
- No one no matter who s/he is learns the right and wrong
without a source of guidance. Wither it's a religion, parental advice, a
book, a motivating speaker, laws, trial and error, society.. Etc. So if it's
inevitable to seek guidance from an outer source then who knows what
fixes you and what doesn't more than the one who created you in the 1st
place? Certainly no one except Allah swt, Alhamdu
llah. Allah's commandments would Never make mistakes, fail or
mislead you while other sources will certainly make mistakes and fail you,
and sometimes these mistakes will cost you more than you can afford.
So
in conclusion, Islam is really important for everyone one on this planet to
follow and to apply in their daily life wither they are believers or not and
make sure others around him does too.
Lastly,
one of our Muslim brothers, brother Shamsi[9] always says:
Imagine i gave you 2 million dollars. Wouldn't you be interested to at least know my name? Won't you answer my call everytime i call you? Won't you come running whenever i ask you to come meet me wherever i'm? Certainly, you will.
Now, imagine that i told you i would give you 2 million dollars in exchange for your eyes?!You would certainly say absolutely not, Right?! Meaning that your eyes worth at least 2 million dollars, don't you agree?!
So how about The One who gave them to you for free? Shouldn't you at least acknowledge Him and follow the message He sent you as He states in it?!
For
me I certainly believe all of us must acknowledge and follow Allah's message
and apply it in our daily life the best we can en shaa Allah.
