By Muhammad Yahya Al Toom
1) Who is the creator?
Indeed, your
Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and earth in six days and then
established Himself above the Throne. He covers the night with the day,
[another night] chasing it rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the moon,
and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the
creation and the command; blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds. (Al-A`raf 7:54)
2) Who is Allah?
Allah –
there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all]
existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs
whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that
can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is
[presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass
not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. (Al-Baqarah 2:255)
3) Did you think that Allah created you only for play and without any purpose?
Then did
you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be
returned?” So exalted is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no
deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne. (Al-Mu’minun 23:115-115)
4) For what did Allah create mankind?
And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me. (Adh-Dhariyat 51:56)
5) What did Allah command us to do?
Indeed,
Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you
judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which
Allah instructs you. Indeed, Allah is ever Hearing and Seeing. (Al-Nisa’ 4:58)
Say,
“Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you. [He commands]
that you not associate anything with Him, and to parents, good
treatment, and do not kill your children out of poverty; We will provide
for you and them. And do not approach immoralities – what is apparent
of them and what is concealed. And do not kill the soul which Allah has
forbidden [to be killed] except by [legal] right. This has He instructed
you that you may use reason.” (Al-An`am 6:151)
6) From where shall we seek guidance?
In the
name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. [All]
praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Entirely Merciful, the
Especially Merciful, Sovereign of the Day of Recompense. It is You we
worship and You we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path. The path
of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have
evoked [Your] anger or of those who are astray. (Al-Fatihah 1:1–6)
7) Who shall we invoke in time of disaster?
And when they board a ship, they supplicate Allah, sincere to Him in religion. (Al-`Ankabut 29:65)
 |
And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me. (Adh-Dhariyat 51:56)

8) What happened to the previous nations when they disobeyed Allah?
So each
We seized for his sin; and among them were those upon whom We sent a
storm of stones, and among them were those who were seized by the blast
[from the sky], and among them were those whom We caused the earth to
swallow, and among them were those whom We drowned. And Allah would not
have wronged them, but it was they who were wronging themselves. (Al-`Ankabut 29:40)
9) Does Allah guard and save the Qur’an from corruption?
Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur’an and indeed, We will be its guardian. (Al-Hijr 15:9)
10) Who should we worship?
Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance. (Taha 20:14)
11) What is the religion of Allah?
Indeed,
the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. And those who were given
the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them –
out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in
the verses of Allah, then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account. (Aal `Imran 3:19)
12) What is the religion accepted by Allah?
And
whoever desires other than Islam as religion – never will it be accepted
from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers. (Aal `Imran 3:85)
13) Where does the Qur’an come from?
Thus has He revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and to those before you – Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (Ash-Shura 42:3)
[Say],
“Then is it other than Allah I should seek as judge while it is He who
has revealed to you the Book explained in detail?” And those to whom We
[previously] gave the Scripture know that it is sent down from your Lord
in truth, so never be among the doubters. (Al-An`am 6:114)
14) Why did Allah send messengers?
And We did not send any messenger except to be obeyed by permission of Allah. (Al-Nisa’ 4:64)
15) Do we have to believe in all the messengers?
The
Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and
[so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His
angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], “We make no
distinction between any of His messengers.” And they say, “We hear and
we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final]
destination.” (Al-Baqarah 2:285)
16) What happened to the previous scriptures?
Among
the Jews are those who distort words from their [proper] usages and say,
“We hear and disobey” and “Hear but be not heard” and “Ra`ina,”
twisting their tongues and defaming the religion. And if they had said
[instead], “We hear and obey” and “Wait for us [to understand],” it
would have been better for them and more suitable. But Allah has cursed
them for their disbelief, so they believe not, except for a few. (Al-Nisa’ 4:46)
17) Who is the last messenger?
Muhammad
is not the father of [any] one of your men, but [he is] the Messenger
of Allah and last of the prophets. And ever is Allah, of all things,
Knowing. (Al-Ahzab 33:40)
