Islam and Salvation

by Abu Hamzah bin Yusuf Alamo

In the Name of Allah ('The Divine' translated; 'Al Lah'), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Peace be unto you. I recommend you to discover the Truth about the Creator of Mankind and I sincerely call you to the Way (Deen) of Islam. Islam is the only Way (Deen) of life which (by the Will and Mercy of the Lord) will bring you the Benefit of Salvation from the Disgrace of this life and the Torment of Hell in the hereafter. Islam isn't only the Way (Deen) of Muhammad (sallAllahu alaihee wa sallam). Islam is the Way (Deen) of all the Prophets; including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (alaihee Salaam). {The Noble Qur'an [42:13] - The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - that which We have sent by inspiration to thee - and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that ye should remain steadfast in (one) religion, and make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than Allah, hard is the (way) to which thou callest them. Allah chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him).} Islam is the Way (Deen) of Peaceful surrender to the One who created Mankind. Should you acknowledge the Sovereign Authority and Oneness of the Creator of Mankind, and acknowledge the Prophet-hood of His final Messenger; Muhammad (sallAllahu alaihee wa sallam), and commit your life to righteous and noble deeds (by the Will and Mercy of the Lord), you will find true success both in this life and in the hereafter. {The Noble Qur'an [23:102] - Then those whose balance (of good deeds) is heavy,- they will attain salvation:} By the Will and Mercy of the Lord, should you Peacefully surrender to Him (the One Creator of Mankind who cannot be divided into two), you will find Peace both in this life and in the hereafter. Should you (by the Will and Mercy of the Lord) refuse to acknowledge the Oneness of the Creator of Mankind, and refuse to acknowledge the Prophet-hood of His final Messenger; Muhammad (sallAllahu alaihee wa sallam), and refuse to accept Islam as your Way (Deen) of life, then know that you will most certainly be amongst those who have lost the (True) Peace of this life and the hereafter. {The Noble Qur'an [3:85] - And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.} I sincerely advise you to be patient and learn about the Creator of Mankind (Allah), His final Messenger; Muhammad (sallAllahu alaihee wa sallam), and the complete system of Islam before you rashly decline and lose out on what could be (by the Will and Mercy of the Lord) the greatest achievement of your life; Salvation from Eternity in the Hell-Fire. {The Noble Qur'an [6:16] - "On that day, if the penalty is averted from any, it is due to Allah's mercy; And that would be (Salvation), the obvious fulfilment of all desire.} Be warned that this can only be achieved through (by the Will and Mercy of the Lord) acknowledging the Sovereign Authority of the One and Only Creator of Mankind (Allah), acknowledging the Prophet-hood of His final Messenger; Muhammad (sallAllahu alaihee wa sallam), and conducting righteous and noble deeds purely for the sake of attaining the Mercy of the Most Merciful (Allah). {The Noble Qur'an [28:67] - But any that (in this life) had repented, believed, and worked righteousness, will have hopes to be among those who achieve salvation.} I pray that the Lord (Allah) guides you to the right choice, ameen.
