Sinopse

EntranceIntroduction to Worship in IslamAllah, the creator of the world could have made us believe and forced us to worship Him but He wants us to worship Him by our free will. He created this sense of freedom in our minds. He loves the people who out of their own free will chose to believe and worship Him. It feels as if we are choosing but actually He is choosing. The fortunate are the chosen ones! They are granted the wisdom to be aware of Him and worship Him. Only when we identify our creator we may identify ourselves and our destiny. Where do we fit in His grand scheme of things.The book is an introduction to Islam for new Muslims. Non-Muslims may certainly benefit from it because here we have collected all the basic information about the practice and the spirit of Islam. Our effort is to inspire without euphoria. Here we present the simple facts of Islam. We focused on providing information in enough detail to be useful. Yet we kept an inspirational tone to encourage further study. We tried to narrate in an interesting course rather than cut and dry facts. We added several short stories to give an inside feel for the spirit of Islam. We took guidance from other books. Particularly, the old books and presented the information in a similar way. The stories from old time of ignorance may be sad. The real tragedy of ignorance is our own era. What we have become even after enormous knowledge He has given us. Human feelings do not change with technical progress. In past, life was difficult and easy in different ways as compare to life of today. We can still feel the same hunger, pain, and suffering. We can still experience injustice, corruption, and consequent upheavals.The book is about recognizing Him and knowing our own place with respect to Him. He wants us to worship Him, making our best effort to please Him. The knowledge of religion is like any other knowledge you have to struggle to learn it. Yet, this knowledge is very different than the knowledge of other worldly sciences. The true religion is not invented or discovered by hearsay, calculation, or observation. He designed the knowledge of religion to be delivered by His selected Prophets. He granted them knowledge of unseen what is beyond this world. He sent them to show us what we can never learn by research and development. He delivered His message in a real life drama. The whole lives of the prophets are examples for us. He prepared the scene before they were born. He protected them, trained them, and brought them to full power. He let them deliver the message, loud and clear. He did it not just once but many times to prove to us that without His corrective message we will soon get corrupted. In this enormous theater of time and space, our life span is just a moment. His message is directed towards us as a nation and also as an individual. He is directly calling you. He knows you, He loves you. He promised if you walk towards Him, He will run towards you. He knows, you recall Him an
