RENUNGAN BERSAMA….
CRITERIA FOR TRUTH
How do we know that a revelation like the Qur’an is the word of God?
The criteria for truth can be easily understood by all:
1. RATIONAL TEACHINGS: Since God bestowed reason and intellect on mankind, it is our duty to use it to distinguish truth from falsehood. True undistorted revelation from God must be rational and can be reasoned out by all unbiased minds.
2. PERFECTION: Since God is all perfect, His revelation must be perfect and accurate, free from mistakes, omissions, interpolations and multiplicity of versions. It should be free from contradictions in its narration.
3. NO MYTHS OR SUPERSTITIONS: True revelation from God is free from myths or superstitions that degrade the dignity of God or man.
4. SCIENTIFIC: Since God is the Creator of all knowledge, true revelation is scientific and can be with-stand the challenge of science at all times.
5. PROPHECY: God is Knower of the past, present and future. Thus His word of prophecies in His revelation will be fulfilled ad prophesied.
6. INMITABLE BY MAN: True revelation from God is infallible and cannot be imitated by man. God’s true revelation is living miracle, an open Book challenging all mankind to see and prove for themselves.
“For We assuredly sent amongst every people a prophet, with the command: ‘Worship Allah and avoids false Gods.’” (Qur’an 16:36)

Let There Be NO Compulsion in Religion
Dear Reader, We want to remind you to the fact that..
There is no compulsion for man to accept the TRUTH. But it is certainty a shame upon the human intellect when man is not even interested in finding out as to what is the TRUTH!.
Islam teaches that God has given man the faculty of reason and therefore experts man to reason things out objectively and systematically for himself. To reflect and to question and to reflect.
Nobody should press you to make a hasty decision to accept any of the teachings of Islam, for Islam teaches that man should be given the freedom to choose.
Even when man is forced with the TRUTH, there is no compulsion upon man to embrace it. But before you begin to form an opinion about Islam, ask yourself whether your existing knowledge of Islam is thorough enough.
Ask yourself whether that knowledge has been obtained through non-Muslim third party sources who themselves have probably been exposed to only random glimpses of Islamic writings and have yet to reason on Islam objectively and systematically themselves.
Is it fair that one should form an opinion about the taste of a particular dish just by hearsay from others who may themselves not necessarily have tasted the dish yet? Similarly you should find out for yourself about Islam from reliable sources and not only taste it, but digest it well before you form an opinion. That would be an intellectual approach to Islam.
It is up to you to make the next move.
In making your move, Islam continuously reassures you that your rights to freedom of choice and freedom to use that God-given faculty of thought and reason will be respected. Every man has that individual will. No one else can take that away that will and force you to surrender to the will of God. You have to find out and make that decision yourself.
May your intellectual journey towards the TRUTH be a pleasant one.
The Qur’an says:
“Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects Taghut (evil) and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trust worthy hand-hold that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.” (Qur’an 2:256)

HOW POOR WE REALLY ARE..
One Day a wealthy family man took his son on road trip to the country so he could have his son to see how poor country people were. They stayed one day and one night in the farm house of a very humble farmer. On they way back home, the father asked, “What do you think about road trip?”
The son replied, “Very nice dad.”
Then the father asked, “Did you noticed how poor they were?”
The son replied, “Yes, I guess so.”
Then the father added, “And what do you learn?”
To this question the son thought for a moment and answered slowly, “I learned that we have a dog in the house and they have four. We have fountain in the garden and they have a stream with no end. We have fancy lanterns in our garden, while they have the stars. Our garden goes to the edge of our yard they have the entire horizon!”
At the end of son’s answer, the father was speechless. His son then added. “Thanks dad, for showing me how poor WE really are.”
The son replied, “Very nice dad.”
Then the father asked, “Did you noticed how poor they were?”
The son replied, “Yes, I guess so.”
Then the father added, “And what do you learn?”
To this question the son thought for a moment and answered slowly, “I learned that we have a dog in the house and they have four. We have fountain in the garden and they have a stream with no end. We have fancy lanterns in our garden, while they have the stars. Our garden goes to the edge of our yard they have the entire horizon!”
At the end of son’s answer, the father was speechless. His son then added. “Thanks dad, for showing me how poor WE really are.”
