The Message Of Islam: Islam is the religion which agrees with the natural disposition of man. It urges Muslims and calls them to ask about things that are incomprehensible to them, through the consultation of competent and knowledgeable authorities. In Islam there are no obscure or mysterious things; it allows us to ask about everything. By nature, humans have many questions in their minds that require logical and clear answers, and the Qur’an provides such answers.

Some of these basic queries are as follows:

A. What is the origin of humanity? The answer to this can be found in the words of Allah:
{And indeed We created man (Adam) out of an extract of clay. Thereafter We placed him as (a drop of) sperm in a place of rest firmly fixed. Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot We made a (fetus) lump; then We made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then We developed out of it another creature. So blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators.} [23:12-14]

B. What is the status of rank of humans in the universe? Allah (SWT) says:
{And indeed We have honored the children of Adam, and We have carried them on land and sea and have provided them with good and pure things, and have preferred them above many of those whom We have created with a marked preference.} [17:70]

C. Why did Allah create humans? Allah (SWT) says:
{And I (God) have only created the Jinn4and humanity that they may worship Me (alone). No sustenance do I require of them nor do I require that they should feed Me. Indeed Allah is the only Giver of (all) sustenance, Lord of Power, the Most Strong.} [51:56-8]

He (SWT) also says:
{Did you then think that We had created you in jest and that you would not be brought back to us (for account)? So Exalted is God, the True King: There is none who is worshipped in truth but He, the Lord of the Throne of Honor!} [23:115-6]

D. Who is the Creator? He is the only One worthy of being worshipped…God (SWT) says:
{He is Allah, other than whom there is no God, Knower of the unseen and seen. He is the Most Merciful, the Most Beneficent. He is Allah, other than whom there is no God, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, and the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him. He is Allah the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the best names. Whatever is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.} [59:22-24]
