so too do humans have no other choice
but to accept the final and the ultimate religion, namely Islam.
....But is it not legitimate to abide
by the rules that still exist in the Old and the New Testaments, or in other earlier books?
....No, this is not legitimate! Because
Allah says in the Qur'an:
...."And whoever desires a religion
other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the
hereafter he shall be one of the losers." (Aal-e-Imran, 85)
....It is a matter of clear logic
that if one is obedient to rules that are no longer in force that
this cannot be regarded as a legitimate act according to the current
law.
....So, one's obedience to previous
books whose rules are no longer in force cannot be an acceptable
act by Allah Almighty, and it is, moreover, a sin.
....Can one, for example, claim that
marrying one's sibling is legitimate as this was established in
the suhufs given to Prophet Adam?
....Let us take a look at other,
non-Muslim societies.
....Allah Almighty says:
...."Certainly you will find the
most violent of people in enmity for those who believe (to be)
the Jews and those who are polytheists, and you will certainly
find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to be) those
who say: We are Christians." (Maida, 82)
....Allah Almighty clarifies that
among non-Muslim societies the Jews and the idol-worshippers are
the most violent enemies of Islam, and that Christians are more
modest
