Discover why Islam is the true and chosen religion for humanity according to the Qur’an. Learn about Tawheed, Prophets, unity of religion, and the authentic Islamic way of life based on Qur’an and Sahih Hadith.
INTRODUCTION
The Qur’an Is the Solution of Humanity
This blog explores the foundations of Islam and explains why Islam is the original and divinely chosen religion for all of humanity. From the very beginning of creation, Islam has been the religion accepted by Allah.
Here, you will learn about the true meaning of Islam, the role of the Prophets, the concept of unity in religion, and how divisions emerged later due to human actions. Whether you are a student of Islamic studies or a sincere seeker of truth, this article offers authentic Qur’anic evidence and historical clarity.
What is the religion of humanity?
Islam is not a religion that started with Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Rather, it has existed since the first human being set foot on earth.
Islam means complete submission to the will of Allah. Every Prophet sent by Allah—from Adam (AS) to Muhammad ﷺ—called people to worship one God alone.
“Indeed, the only religion acceptable to Allah is Islam.”
(Surah Aal-Imran
3:19)
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and islam.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was not the founder of Islam. He was the final Messenger, sent to complete and perfect the same religion preached by all previous Prophets.
“Today I have perfected your religion for you and chosen Islam as your religion.”
(Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:3)
Who Is a Muslim?
The word Muslim means one who submits to Allah alone.
Anyone who obeyed Allah and followed His commands—before or after Prophet Muhammad ﷺ—was a Muslim in essence.
“Say, we believe in Allah… and we are Muslims.”
(Surah Aal-Imran 3:84)
One Religion, One Message
All Prophets carried the same core message:
“Worship Allah alone and avoid false gods.”
(Surah An-Nahl 16:36)
Differences and sects appeared later, due to human disagreement—not divine instruction.
Division Is Not From Allah
The Qur’an strongly warns against dividing religion into sects:
“Those who divided their religion and became sects—you have nothing to do with them.”
(Surah Al-An’am 6:159)
True Islam calls for unity based on Qur’an and authentic Sunnah
, not blind sectarianism.
➗ About madhab
The four great Imams—Abu Hanifa, Malik, Shafi’i, and Ahmad (RA)—never asked people to blindly follow them. All of them clearly stated:
“If my opinion contradicts the Qur’an and Sahih Hadith, then reject my opinion.”
Madhhab means method or path, not a separate religion. The ultimate obligation of every Muslim is to follow Allah and His Messenger ﷺ.
✒️ Conclusion
Islam is not merely a belief system—it is a complete way of life revealed by Allah for the guidance of humanity. The Qur’an and authentic Sunnah provide the only reliable path to salvation, unity, and truth.
Any religion or practice that contradicts this divine guidance cannot lead to success in the Hereafter.
“Whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted.”
(Surah Aal-Imran
3:85)
