Islam Is The Natural Religion
Islam is known not only as a rational and moral way of life prescribed
for all of mankind, it is known by the term 'Din ul-Fitra' or 'the
natural religion'. Islam is the religion designed by the Creator of
mankind for the benefit of mankind and therefore fits human nature
perfectly. Being Muslim is living in harmony with your human nature.
Natural desires are considered as coming from Allah and put into
people for good reason. They don't need to be repressed but rather
simply channelled into the right ways of being fulfilled. So, for
example, in Islam getting married is considered 'half of the religion'
and each act of making love between a husband and his wife is an act
of wor****p.
When a person is born he/she is purely natural, free of sin and
Muslim. Humans, we are told in the Qur'an, are made in the best of
forms and start life with a huge plus. It is only in later life that
their environments may lead them to take beliefs or adopt practices
that contradict Islam.
Because of our nature, deep down we all need to find our purpose in
life; we all know we have moral responsibilities and we all know that,
if anything ought to be, then Allah must exist.
This being part of human nature, no one can claim that their disbelief
was the result of ignorance alone. Disbelief is always, at some level,
a conscious and sinful act.
On the day of judgement the conscience of the disbeliever will be his
or her own damning evidence.
