Islam the Religion of the Common Sense.

By: Maged Taman

The religion of Islam continued to spread all over the world from its first days for the good reasoning it provides:

1-The truth of Islam: The Quran proves to you it is from God and challenge all in doubt to disprove that. The power, confidence and authority of the one who inspired the Quran is that of the God of the world, read in my blog the Authority of God in the Quran for all the proves that it is from God.

2- The Completeness of the message: that make it applicable to people 1400 years ago and until the end of the world.

3- The reasoning in the Quran: that make religion and science meet and do not collide. It make you feel that the same God who created the universe and its brilliant laws is the same of religion of Islam.

4- The message of Quran: worshipping God and obeying him is the reason we are created and the bonus we get is all enjoyments that allowed by religion including a peaceful world to all of us. For a lot of people the spiritual enjoyment is far greater than the materialistic enjoyment.

5- Fear of God: causes man continuously to try to improve and create the righteous communities.

6- The ten commandments or major sins: make people live in peace and make us less anxious so they would not get paranoid about minor sins.

7- Repentance: is like cleansing. Even prophets who do not or rarely sin repent. It is like an apology to God if you sinned or unaware of something you may have done. It always says that I can be better and I will continue always to improve. But repentance should not be a plan you decide to sin for years and then repent at certain time.

8- Prayers: In Islam you start the day by praying and end it by praying. It causes you to fear God and be a better person all times.

9- Fasting: it serves to make us feel the hunger of the poor, be more merciful and appreciative of the gifts of God.

10- Pilgrim: Muslims do not worship the Kappa. They pray at the Kappa it is a holy place like mount Sinai people do not worship the mountain but they remember its holy history. Pilgrim serves to unite Muslims. It make everyone feel the same like other Muslims. We all are equal, but the more righteous is the closet to God in Heaven.

11- Morality: teachings of the Quran and hadith contain all the moral code as little as how to clear the road if there is dirt in people way.

12- Moral government: Islam realized from early days that building a righteous communities would be best done through a group act and through the right structure of the government.

13-Humanity: Islam domination is not for love of domination but it is because of God's orders. Corruption, tyranny and immorality have been the characters of governments over the history. It is to guarantee good and dignified living to all people including non-Muslims. Islam in large part believe in a single family of one man and one woman. Muslims would like to have same prosperity to all families in the earth including non-Muslims.

14-Modernity: in Islam you can watch movies, opera and concerts. Entertainment is important but if we avoid sex, violence and Satanic temptations that destroy communities.

15- Individuality: people in Islam has the right to disbelieve and in their home they have the right to sin. In fact talking about the sex life of a person is prohibited in Islam except for rape and pedophilia. There is no Imam between you and God. A sincere person who fears God may be even better than an Imam for God. You do not confess to anyone. There is no middle man. God loves to have a relation one on one with each one of us.
