it may sound like an obvious question but often many of us don't have a clear answer to it. i remember being asked this question by my elder brother when i was fourteen year ago. my initial answer was ''well our family was Muslim''. his reply to this made me think. he said if your family were Hindu or christian, would you be as a well? I replied with a strong,' no Islam is the truth'. the discussion that followed made me questions thebasis of my life and changed my life for ever. he triggered me to think about how to prove that Islam is truth rather than believing it emotionally or blindly. in fact Allah has commanded people for imitating their forefathers and adopting their belief without clear evidence...
Allah says in the holy Quran:
''And verily guess is no substitute for the truth''[TMQ53:28]
''They have no knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. for surly, they killed him to [ Isa]''
[TMQ4:157]
''These are nothing but names which you have devised, you and your father. for which Allah has send down noauthority. they follow nothing but conjecture and what their Nafs desire. Even though there has already come to them the guidance from their Rabb''[TMQ53:23]
Do you have knowledge for that which you claim to provide us with? you follow nothing but conjecture (zann)[TMQ6:148]
The followers of other religion have no decisive proof for their belief. therefore they believe in their religions semotionally or through imitation. some them think that you just have to have faith without clear proof. ever when it come to normal things in life people apply a lot of thought such as baying a car , house, choosing an University course or which bank to join, so how can it be that when it come to the most important questions about life. which define the purpose of our lives that we should just have ''faith''without being convinced absolutely.
it is therefore vital for a Muslim to believe in the existence of Allah without any doubt what soever to believe in the prophethood of Muhammad (s.a) and that the Quran is final revelation sent by Allah. to Humanity Islam is unlike as it has a decisive proof that convinces the mind.
