1- What is the Wisdom of Islam?

Islam is a very simple Religion. Islam simply means submitting yourself in peace to the Absolute One and Living GOD:

"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"

"Then Praise be to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth- Lord and Cherisher of all the worlds! To Him be Glory throughout the heavens and the earth: and He is Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom!. (The Noble Quran, 45:36-37)"

"Say: 'O People of the Book (i.e., Jews and Christians)! Come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah.' If then they turn back, say ye: 'Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will).' (The Noble Quran, 3:64)"

The GOD of Islam is the GOD of everything He created. There is no middle man between the Creation and the Creator; "It was We Who Created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein. (The Noble Quran, 50:16)"

"When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way. (The Noble Quran, 2:186)"

Allah Almighty knows what's in the heart and will judge us according to our intentions:

Let us look at Noble Verses 26:88-91 "The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail, But only he (will prosper) that brings to God a sound heart; to the righteous, the Garden will be brought near, and to those straying in Evil, the Fire will be placed in full view."

Allah Almighty created all mankind with different races, mentality and beliefs; "O mankind! [this includes all races and all nations] We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other. Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well-acquainted. (The Noble Quran, 49:13)"

Anyone can gain the Love of Allah Almighty, which would eventually lead him to know His Creator and end up in Paradise under Him: "It is He Who has Created you [humans]; and of you [humans] are some that are unbelievers, and some that are believers: And Allah sees well all that ye do. He has created the heavens and the earth in just portions, and has given you [humans] shape, and made your shapes beautiful: and to Him is the final Goal. He knows what is in the heavens and on earth; and He knows what ye conceal and what ye reveal: Allah Knows well the (secrets) of (all) hearts. (The Noble Quran, 64:2-4)"

He knows well that we need Him, and that we are nothing without Him and His guidance; "O ye men! It is ye that have need of Allah: but Allah is the One free of all wants, worthy of all praise. If He so pleased, He could blot you out and bring in a new creation, Nor is that difficult for Allah. (The Noble Quran, 35:15-17)"

Allah Almighty listens to our prayers; He is close and listens!

"When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way. (The Noble Quran, 2:186)"

The Wisdom of Islam is the same as the Wisdom of Moses' Tablets (the Ten Commandments) and the Golden Rule:

As we will see more elaborations further down in this article, if a person follows the Bible's Ten Commandments (except for the not working in the Sabbath one) and the Golden Rule (which is unfortunately not consistent in the Bible, but it is consistent in Islam), then he/she is a True Believer in GOD Almighty and he/she is a Righteous person. While nothing in the Noble Quran specifically says that we must follow the Bible's "Ten Commandments", but nonetheless, Moses' (peace be upon him) Tablets were mentioned in the Noble Quran, and they are believed to contain the Ten Commandments:

"And We ordained laws for him in the tablets in all matters, both commanding and explaining all things, (and said): "Take and hold these with firmness, and enjoin thy people to hold fast by the best in the precepts: soon shall I show you the homes of the wicked,- (How they lie desolate)." (The Noble Quran, 7:145)"

"When Moses came back to his people, angry and grieved, he said: "Evil it is that ye have done in my place in my absence: did ye make haste to bring on the judgment of your Lord?" He put down the tablets, seized his brother by (the hair of) his head, and dragged him to him. Aaron said: "Son of my mother! the people did indeed reckon me as naught, and went near to slaying me! Make not the enemies rejoice over my misfortune, nor count thou me amongst the people of sin." (The Noble Quran, 7:150)"

"When the anger of Moses was appeased, he took up the tablets: in the writing thereon was guidance and Mercy for such as fear their Lord. (The Noble Quran, 7:154)"

Also, all of the beautiful Wisdoms and Divine Commands that exist in the Bible's Ten Commandments do exist in the Noble Quran and they do make up the bottom line and the core beliefs of Islam. Not only that, but they are also considered "Light" by Allah Almighty:

"It was We who revealed the law (to Moses): therein was guidance and light. By its standard have been judged the Jews, by the prophets who bowed (as in Islam) to God's will, by the rabbis and the doctors of law: for to them was entrusted the protection of God's book, and they were witnesses thereto: therefore fear not men, but fear me, and sell not my signs for a miserable price. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what God hath revealed, they are (no better than) Unbelievers. (The Noble Quran, 5:44)"

"Of the people of Moses (i.e., the Jews) there is a section who guide and do justice in the light of truth. (The Noble Quran, 7:159)"

2- How will Allah Almighty Judge the non-Muslims? Should a person be a Muslim first to be accepted in Paradise by Allah Almighty?

Allah Almighty will admit to Paradise those whom He loves because of their righteous work and belief:

"O mankind! [this includes all races and all nations] We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other. Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well-acquainted. (The Noble Quran, 49:13)"

"Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book [Jews and Christians] are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of God all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in God and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous. (The Noble Quran, 3:113-3:114)"

My definition of the word 'Muslim':

I believe that the definition of 'Muslim' is not just limited to someone who believes in Allah Almighty, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, and the Noble Quran only. While it is extremely important and becomes mandatory for a person to believe in the Noble Quran and the Prophethood of Muhammad, especially if he or she is fully convinced of the Truthfulness of Islam, but the real Noble Quranic definition of a 'Muslim' is someone who believes in the Absolute Oneness of GOD Almighty and associates no partners (idols or humans or any other creations) with Him. This makes any Unitarian and Monotheist a 'Muslim'. That is why Islam is called 'The Religion of Abraham', because Abraham, peace be upon him was a true Monotheist and associated no partners with GOD Almighty. So Salvation is not just reserved for the Noble Quran's Believers only.

To support my statement above, let us look at the following Noble Verse:

"Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to God, does good, and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For God did take Abraham for a friend. (The Noble Quran, 4:125)"

"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"

"Say: 'O People of the Book (i.e., Jews and Christians)! Come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah.' If then they turn back, say ye: 'Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will).' (The Noble Quran, 3:64)"

Also, Jesus peace be upon him taught his followers to be "Muslims" 600 years before the birth of Muhammad peace be upon him: "And behold! I inspired the Disciples to have faith in Me [Allah] and Mine Messenger [Jesus]; they said, ''We have faith, and do thou bear witness that we bow to Allah as Muslims.' (The Noble Quran, 5:111)"

Every religion in this universe started with a Prophet of GOD Almighty. Judaism started with Moses peace be upon him, Christianity started with Jesus peace be upon him and so on. Islam on the other hand did not start with Muhammad peace be upon him. It simply started with the creation of Adam peace be upon him. When mankind was created, Islam was created. Islam is a Religion that started with Adam and ended with Muhammad peace be upon them. Every religion of Allah Almighty in between such as Judaism and Christianity is part of Islam.

This is very important to know, because now we can see that the people who believed in the Absolute One and Living GOD Almighty before the birth of Muhammad peace be upon him were also Muslims.

Important Note: It is up to Allah Almighty to decide who goes to Heaven and who goes to Hell. But as we've seen in the Noble Verses above, Allah Almighty doesn't just care about our faith, but also about our good deeds and hearts.

All of the Righteous Unitarians (those who believe in the Absolute One GOD Almighty) are Muslims according to Islam. Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him taught us that faith in the Absolute One GOD is the most important and fundamental principle. It is the heart of Islam and the mainspring of its power. All other beliefs, commands and laws of Islam stand firm on this foundation.

One of the beauties of Islam is that when an individual becomes a Unitarian, this wonderful religion of GOD (Islam) comes natural to him by the Will of Allah Almighty; "...Such are among the Signs of God: He whom God, guides is rightly guided; but he whom God leaves to stray,- for him wilt thou find no protector to lead him to the Right Way. (The Noble Quran, 18:17)".

It comes in such a miraculous way that it creates a direct connection between Allah Almighty and the individual; "...Allah has endeared the faith to you, Has made it beautiful in your hearts, and He Has made hateful to you unbelief, wickedness, and rebellion: such indeed are those who walk in righteousness- A grace and favour from Allah; and Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom. (The Noble Quran, 49:7-8)"

Once that connection is created, then the new Muslim will naturally avoid unbelief and wickedness and will stay in the Path of Allah Almighty. The Muslim's faith will then only increase and strengthen:

"For, believers are those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a tremor in their hearts, and when they hear His Signs rehearsed, find their faith strengthened, and put (all) their trust in their Lord. (The Noble Quran, 8:2)"

"Say, the Holy Spirit has brought the revelation from thy Lord in Truth, in order to strengthen those who believe, and as a guide and glad tidings to Muslims. (The Noble Quran, 16:102)"

"It is He [Allah] Who sent down tranquillity into the hearts of the believers, that they may add faith to their faith- For to Allah belong the forces of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is Full of Knowledge and Wisdom. (The Noble Quran, 48:4)"

As long as the person believes in "Absolute One GOD" and does Righteousness, then he should be ok:

"God forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with God is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed. (The Noble Quran, 4:48)"

"Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to God, does good, and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For God did take Abraham for a friend. (The Noble Quran, 4:125)"

Idol worshiping, trinity, and all other forms of using other creations as mediators between yourself and GOD Almighty are not accepted. This supports my statement above about a "Muslim" is one who believes in One GOD only.

"They say: 'Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (To salvation).' Say thou: 'Nay! (I would rather) the Religion of Abraham the True, and he joined not gods with God.' (The Noble Quran, 2:135)"

"Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to God's (Which is Islam), and he joined not gods with God. (The Noble Quran, 3:67)"

The "true in Faith" or the "Religion of Abraham" that GOD Almighty accepts is believing in the Absolute One and Living GOD Almighty. This is the main point of Islam, and the belief that would ultimately guide the individual to Salvation.

So how will we be judged at Judgement Day?

Allah Almighty is quite clear in the Noble Quran about how He will judge us in the Day of Judgement.

Let us look at Noble Verse 10:61 "In whatever business thou mayest be, and whatever portion thou mayest be reciting from the Quran, and whatever deed ye (mankind) may be doing, We are witnesses thereof when ye are deeply engrossed therein. Nor is hidden from thy Lord (so much as) the weight of an atom on the earth or in heaven. And not the least and not the greatest of these things but are recorded in a clear record." In this Noble Verse, we see Allah Almighty clearly describing to us that every single act even an atom of a thing we do in life from good and bad will be recorded in our records.

Let us look at Noble Verse 34:3 "The unbelievers say, 'Never to us will come the Hour': Say, 'Nay! but most surely, by my Lord, it will come upon you; by Him Who knows the unseen, from Whom is not hidden the least little atom in the heavens or on earth: Nor is there anything less than that, or greater, but is in the record perspicuous.'"

Let us look at Noble Verse 34:22 "Say: 'Call upon other (gods) whom ye fancy, besides God: They have no power,- not the weight of an atom,- in the heavens or on earth: No (sort of) share have they therein, nor is any of them a helper to God.'" In this Noble Verse Allah Almighty claims that no god but He will do the Judgement in the Day of Judgement. All of the idols and images that people worshiped and still do will not take part of any Judgement. They will be worthless.

Let us look at Noble Verses 99:7-8 "Then shall anyone who has done an atom's weight of good, see it! And anyone who has done an atom's weight of evil, shall see it." Everything we do in life will be recorded for us. For every atom of good we do in life we shall see it, and for every atom of evil we do in life we shall see it also. And Allah Almighty will ultimately make His decision on whether you will make it to heaven or will make it to hell.

3- So am I suggesting that there is no need to believe in the Noble Quran? Or there is no need to try to spread Islam to Unitarians such as the Jews?

Absolutely not! As a Muslim who believes in Allah Almighty and all of His Revelations, I must believe with all my heart and mind that the Noble Quran is the Seal of all the Revelations that came from Allah Almighty, and it must be followed. Allah Almighty clearly said: "The Religion before God is Islam (submission to His Will): Nor did the People of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of God, God is swift in calling to account. (The Noble Quran, 3:19)"

But the religion of Islam is not just limited to the Noble Quran's Revelations, especially to those who never heard of Islam, or Islam was unfortunately misrepresented to them. Islam started from Adam and ended with Muhammad peace be upon them. Islam was perfected or finished with the Revelations of the Noble Quran: "...This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion....(The Nobel Quran, 5:3)"

Islam as I mentioned above existed before Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and ended with him: "The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - the which We have sent by inspiration to thee - and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that ye should remain steadfast in religion, and make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than God, hard is the (way) to which thou callest them. God chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him). (The Noble Quran, 42:13)"

My point about Salvation is: What I am suggesting here is that when a Muslim is asked about who from Mankind will Allah Almighty admit to Paradise and whom He won't admit, he should say: Only He the Almighty Knows, because He will decide based on the person's belief and good deeds on whether to admit him to Heaven or to Hell. There is no set rule on how the Judgement will happen. Every individual will have his own special and unique case that Allah Almighty will consider.

That is why Allah Almighty said in Noble Verses 99:7-8 "Then shall anyone who has done an atom's weight of good, see it! And anyone who has done an atom's weight of evil, shall see it."

He, the Almighty, also said:

"In whatever business thou mayest be, and whatever portion thou mayest be reciting from the Quran,- and whatever deed ye (mankind) may be doing,- We are witnesses thereof when ye are deeply engrossed therein. Nor is hidden from thy Lord (so much as) the weight of an atom on the earth or in heaven. And not the least and not the greatest of these things but are recorded in a clear record. (The Noble Quran, 10:61)"

"There is no moving creature on earth but its sustenance dependeth on God: He knoweth the time and place of its definite abode and its temporary deposit: All is in a clear Record. (The Noble Quran, 11:6)"

"Knowest thou not that God knows all that is in heaven and on earth? Indeed it is all in a Record, and that is easy for God. (The Noble Quran, 22:70)"

"Nor is there aught of the unseen, in heaven or earth, but is (recorded) in a clear record. (The Noble Quran, 27:75)"

"The Unbelievers say, "Never to us will come the Hour": Say, "Nay! but most surely, by my Lord, it will come upon you;- by Him Who knows the unseen,- from Whom is not hidden the least little atom in the heavens or on earth: Nor is there anything less than that, or greater, but is in the Record Perspicuous: (The Noble Quran, 34:3)"

"And the Earth will shine with the Glory of its Lord: the Record (of Deeds) will be placed (open); the prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward and a just decision pronounced between them; and they will not be wronged (in the least). (The Noble Quran, 39:69)"

"Every matter, small and great, is on record. (The Noble Quran, 54:53)"

"No misfortune can happen on earth or in your souls but is recorded in a decree before We bring it into existence: That is truly easy for God: (The Noble Quran, 57:22)"

"Then he that will be given his Record in his right hand will say: "Ah here! Read ye my Record! (The Noble Quran, 69:19)"

"And he that will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: "Ah! Would that my Record had not been given to me! (The Noble Quran, 69:25)"

"And all things have We preserved on record. (The Noble Quran, 78:29)"

4- Conclusion:

Islam is a beautiful and a True Divine Religion of Allah Almighty that sets free the believers from wickedness, confusion and frustration. It sheds the Light of Allah Almighty into their hearts and leads them to the True Path Belief and Righteousness. Allah Almighty is the GOD Almighty of all mankind and is there for all the righteous. Every little atom of good and evil that an individual makes in life will be recorded for him, and he shall see it in the Day of Judgement. Allah Almighty will then make the Ultimate Decision on the person based on all of the unique elements that pertain to him/her.
