Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Basic Beliefs of Islam Chapter 4 : Islam - the Only True Religion Though the followers of every religion say that their religion is the only true religion, but none other than Muslims can prove it rationally. Let's give some strong points in suppor t of our belief that no one can disprove them on valid grounds.

Muslims never claim that Islam is a new religion, but believe that it is the first and the oldest religion which was revealed to the first man and the first Prophet, Adam (as ) who arrived on the planet earth by the order of Allah Subhanahu taala. Muslims believe in the basic teachings of Prophet Ibrahim (as), Prophet Musa (as), Prophet Isa (as) and assert that Prophet Muhammed was the last prophet of all prophets who testified and completed the Divine message. i.e.

all prophets from Hazrat Adam (as) to Hazrat Muhammad (sws ) have the same basic beliefs. The Holy Quran is the only Divine book which is present in its original form and has never been slightly changed or adulterated or corrupted in anyway. No other book claimed as Divine book is available in its original form or in the same language in which it was revealed. Islam covers each and every aspect of human life and gives complete guidance in every field of human interest.

It has complete code of perfect life. No other religion has such complete course of social laws. The basic beliefs and social laws of Islam never collide with each other. Also, the basic beliefs and fundamental teachings of Islam and the established facts of science show compatibility with each other. This is not true with any other religion of the world. Islam tells us very clearly, from where we have come, why we are here, and where we will ultimately go.

Islam clearly defines the aim of our creation and the purpose of our life. All other religions do not answer these basic questions so clearly. Islam is the only true monotheistic religion which teaches us to believe in the absolute oneness of God. Christians claim that they believe in one God but they also believe in trinity, i.e. they say 1+1+1 =1 which is not correct. Similarly Hindus claim that they also believe in one God but they worship many gods.

We shall now prove that the original teachings of Judaism, Christianity and many other religions testify the basic beliefs of Islam. These religions are now different because they have been changed by the people to fulfill their selfish demands.
