Al-Islam is the oldest religion known to mankind; based on the fundamental meaning of life, it is the natural way of life. To know the plain truth about Al-Islam, one has to study for a life time about nature, compare man’s way of life with nature, and then determine what is natural for mankind using revelations from G’d as a guide. To arrive at a point about what is natural one must accept the truth. If any part of a natural finding is not accepted as the truth then Al-Islam is hidden from the mind of mankind, but to study Al-Islam is another matter.
Humanity has always known since man’s creation that Allah (G’d)(swt) is elusive and, that if, Allah (swt) is elusive then, the way of life for mankind, Al-Islam, must be by degrees elusive in its pure form. The books of Allah (swt), all of them, speak in some form or another about how mankind slipped or fell from a high practice of worship. That’s why mankind is ever trying to return to that honorable position in its life. Another way of expressing mankind’s failure by the truth and having difficulties finding Al-Islam is to put it mildly, trying to return to it (that high practice of worship).
Everything that mankind does in one way or other causes some form of worship to Allah (swt). Even if mankind does nothing at all that act in itself proves that mankind has no power, except the truth. If mankind is acting on anything in the universe; that action is towards the natural way and the truth. Mankind can never truly know Al-Islam; its true meaning is unattainable. Nevertheless, is it necessary to know all there is about something; no, emphatically no.
Al-Islam is a living entity into itself; its body is the people that search daily for its meaning, Muslims. They never give up; daily (24 hours a day) they pray, fast, give, help, travel for right, love, etc. More than one billion human cells (Muslims) are in the body of Al-Islam. Every one of them works to keep the body clean and pure, as they strive to learn the body’s meaning. As the cells die and the body regenerates with new ones, mankind gets nearer and nearer to Al-Islam and its meaning; near to it meaning is attainable.
Some people believe that life is but trial and error; far from the truth. If that is true, how does the mongoose keeps its life when it approaches the cobra? One bite from the cobra would kill the mongoose in a few minutes. The mongoose learned or was it taught that while face to face with the cobra, the cobra would strike, at the point of strike, the mongoose jumps straight up into the air then, while the cobra is extended into its strike, the mongoose bites behind the cobra’s head, kill, and eat it. In this confrontation, there is no room for trial or error. In either case, death is imminent.
Nature teaches mankind; Allah (swt) is naturally behind and before everything therefore, everything is the will of Allah (swt). Every recording of mankind (books) are based on something in nature. Still, mankind is searching, making new discoveries, and changing old rules and laws, in other words, searching for the natural way (Al-Islam).
