Global Intifada

In case you didn’t know, Yahoo is doing an online “Time Capsule”. I decided to participate.

I chose the topic of ‘faith’ and here is my contribution:

Islam means to testify with certainy that there is no god but Allah who is without beginning, end, needs, and partners. He is absolutely dissimilar to His creation. He possesses life, knowledge, will, power, all-sight, all-hearing, and speech. Due to His infinite mercy and concern for mankind, He has sent prophets (with miracles as proof of their veracity) throughout history to guide mankind (some of whom recieved scripture). This long line of prophets began with Adam and ended with Muhammad (peace be upon them all) who was truthful and trustworthy and his miracle was the Qur’an (the speech of Allah transmitted through the Angel Gabriel). Muslims affirm the existence of life after death, paradise and hell, and the divine decree. Since Allah is the Lord and Master of creation, one worship is due to Him and him alone. He has prescribed five daily prayers, fasting in the month of Ramadhan, seasonal charity, and Pilgrimage to the Holy Cities of Makkah and Madinah if one can afford it.

I would’ve wrote more, but Yahoo placed limits on how much text you can contribute.

I think Muslims should submit as many time capsules as a form of dawah.
