question
Why should I be a Muslim? Please answer my question with a rational argument.
brief
Although some truths can be seen in the existing act in the world religions, but Islam is only visible full figure of this truth, which is the same true monotheism. The most important reason to test this claim is the lack of a credit document and the existence of alterations and intellectual differences in the religious texts of other religions. Against this are the non-alteration of the Qur'an, have a reliable document and a credit history, the perfection of the religion of Islam and its teachings harmonize with sound reason.
Moreover the religion of truth in every age is only a religion, and other religions and existing schools are basically false and lacking in fundamentals, and / or have been exterminated and are abrogated. Today the true religion is the religion of Islam. The pure and true Islam manifests itself in the face of the School of Ahl Bayt (Shiism), while Shia teachings are only those that can show the pure Islam of Muhammad (saw).
detailed answers
To clarify the response should be analyzed issues such as the reasons for the failure of other religions that exist today, and the arguments of legitimacy and superiority of the religion of Islam and Ahl School Bayt (as):
A) The arguments of the inadequacy of existing in the world religions (except Islam).
Before mentioning the arguments of the failure of other religions existing in the world, remember two points:
First point: our purpose is not to say that everything on the existing religions are false and can not find one word of truth in them, but our purpose is that these existing religions today are no unacceptable subjects, while these religions can not express the full form.
Second point: what in this short analysis indicated are some of the shortcomings of the two major religions of the world today, namely Christianity and Judaism, in this way the value and credibility of other religions will be evident, from the point of view of acceptability and credit are to a lesser extent to these two religions.
Regarding the reasons that prove that Christianity today may not be the complete form of the truth:
1. First reason: the Gospel was not declared repeatedly and lacks a definitive document to back it up.
The Prophet Jesus (as) belonged to the twelve tribes of Israel, his tongue was Hebrew, and in Jerusalem claimed to be a prophet. The people there were also Jewish and rejected it out of some who had no information about their positions. However some people of Jerusalem who were familiar with the Greek language were dispersed in the cities of Asia Minor and invited people to the religion of Jesus (as). They wrote books in the Greek language in which they recorded various issues, and announced to the people of Greece and Rome, "Jesus said this and did that." Those who had seen Jesus (as) and had witnessed his acts and those who knew their language and were in Palestine, had not accepted Jesus (as) as his Prophet, while the stories written in Greek the considered fictitious. Those who accepted these books and stories were people from distant places to Palestine, who had not ever seen the city of Jerusalem, nor the Prophet Jesus (as), and even unaware of their language. If the stories were written in the Gospel lies was because the writers did not write barriers preventing them nor the means to deny listeners.
For example in the Gospel of Matthew says that when Jesus was born came about mayus (Zoroastrian men from the east) and asked: "Where the Jewish king who was just born in? We saw his star in the East. "But they did not show it. Suddenly they again saw that same star that moved in the sky, stopping on a house, they understood that this was where Jesus (as) was. A story like this is definitely fiction was written in the Gospel without fear of any scandal and who had not written in Hebrew to the people of Jerusalem, but had been written for foreign people, and in a strange place is easy to brag . We are sure that no astrologer agree that with the birth of each person appears and moves a star on her head, not the Zoroastrians accept this nor other outside. So also expose that the early Christians held different views on whether Jesus (pbuh) was crucified or not. Even in some Gospels was recorded basically Jesus was not crucified, but if someone is killed in a city such an event is not hidden from the majority of the people there, especially the crucifixion. But since the Gospels were written for foreigners and foreign languages, and these foreigners were not in Jerusalem as to find out if Jesus had been killed or not, the authors of the Gospels with complete freedom wrote fearlessly what they wanted. After 300 years of the arrival of Jesus (as) organized a meeting where Christians wise counsel how to end the differences touching this matter. They decided to choose four of the Gospels and consider its contents as true, and the other Gospels which were many in number considered false. In all four Gospels the matter was rejected Jesus (as) was not crucified and considered unofficial. [1]
2. Second reason, the failure of the Christian religion. The existence of numerous cases of contradictions and changes in existing Gospels. For more information the reader is referred to the works of "The Path of Bliss", the great sage Sha'rânî [2] and "Al-Haq Idzhâr Fadil Hindi" Hibati Allah ibn Khalil al-Rahman, and "the Koran and other heavenly books" martyr Hashimi Niyâd.
3. Third reason, incompatibility of some of the Christian beliefs with the basics of logic and reason. For example, they believe that God the Son took the form of a human, accept as their own the sins of humans and enduring the suffering of the cross atones for sins. In the Gospel of John we read:
"So God loved the world! He gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world might be saved through him. "[3]
Regarding the three major Jewish religion there are difficulties, because:
First, the Torah consists of three versions,
1. The Hebrew version, which has credit among Jewish and Protestant scholars.
2. The Samaritan version which is credit to the Samaritans (another ethnic group of the twelve tribes of Israel).
3. The Greek version, than among non-Protestant Christian scholars credit is considered.
The Samaritan version of the Pentateuch, or consists of only the five books of Moses, the Book of Joshua and Judges, and do not consider crediticos other Old Testament books. The time interval between the creation of Adam to the Flood of Noah found in the first version 1656, second in 1307 and third 1362 years. Then the three versions can not be correct, but one must be correct and credit, and it is unclear which one it is. [4]
Second, in the Torah there are also issues that are rejected by the human intellect.
For example in the Torah, God was presented as a human walking, singing, lies and cheats, as told Adam that if he ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil would die. But Adam and Eve ate of that tree, not only did not die but became familiar with good and evil. [5]
Or the existing story in the Torah where Yahweh (God) wrestles with Jacob. [6]
B. The reason for the legitimacy and superiority of Islam
1. First reason being alive and everlasting miracle of the religion of Islam, as the main miracle of this religion is the "Koran" presented in book form, logic and science, contrary to the miracle of the previous Prophets was as a visible and sensitive matter, which is why he is always alive and depends on itself, without relying on the presence or the special life of the Prophet of Islam (saw) being eternal and immortal miracle.
Besides the Qur'an, announcing the challenge constantly announcing to everyone who is alive and who is eternal, "If you doubt what we did descend from heaven to Our servant, Bring forth ye such a chapter ..." [7].
2. Secunda reason: no alteration of the Quran means that any change or transformation was performed on him. As well as the promise of God said that He truly is your protector, [8] the same Prophet (saw) put special emphasis on accurate memorization of it. First, a group known as kâtibân wah (the scribes of revelation) ordered to write the verses and suras. Second, assiduously encouraged his closest companions and his followers to memorize the Quran, so a large group at the time of the Prophet (saw) was known as "the Memorizers the Koran." Third, encourage the recitation of the Quran. The reciters were to pronounce the words with declarative intonation specialties, besides the study and understanding of its contents. [9]
And these factors caused the Koran quedase calamity protected from alteration.
3. Third reason: the way to check the legitimacy of Islam is to consider the case that the Prophet of Islam (as) is the seal of prophethood, since the religious texts of Islam [10] emphasize that Muhammad (saw) is the last Prophet of God and after him will not come any Prophet.
In all human societies the last instructions of a director or manager are the measure of an act and its implementation is imperative. Then to get new instructions earlier are canceled automatically.
In the religious texts of other religions does not say that their Prophet was the last messenger of God, but in a way, gave the good news of the emergence of the Prophet of Islam to its followers. [11] That is a form mentions the temporality of these same.
4. Fourth reason: the issue to be taken into account is the perfection of Islam, that Islam has teachings on the various and numerous spiritual, mental, individual, social, material and immaterial perspective of human life. For further understanding of perfection and superiority of the religious meanings of Islam a comparative study should be performed between the contents of the sacred texts of the religion of Islam and other religions. In this case manifests and reveals the superiority and perfection of the religious teachings of Islam in parts of the doctrine, monotheism and attributes of God, the individual and social morality, law, economics, politics, government, and other.
5. Fifth reason: between existing religions today, the only religion that has a credit history is alive and Islam. Historians recorded including details of the childhood of the Prophet (saw). Other religions do not have a credit history document, so many Western intellectuals even doubt the existence of the Prophet Jesus (as). If the Koran, the Muslim book of us, had not mentioned the name of Jesus (PBUH) and other Prophets (as) possibly the Christian and Jewish religions and their prophets would not have such recognition and popularity in that count today day human society. [12]
Among the religions and Islamic schools is very evident the superiority of Shi'a school of "truthfulness compared to other schools. The religion of truth in every age is only and exclusively a religion. Sublime in every age God has only one Divine law, and every religion out of this school is fundamentally false or lie, or repealed and / or extinguished.
The multiplicity of the Divine and heavenly religions that until today were descended to mankind, is a longitudinal cross no multiplicity. Under this meaning that the new religion is abrogating and complement previous religion. So the new religion arise when the validity of the above, loses its officers giving way to the new religion, being necessary for everyone to follow the new religion And have faith. So in the sacred texts and religious to those who do not convert their faith in the new religion clear texts are remembered as "unbelievers".
Islam is the last and most perfect religion that was sent to mankind, and exalted God will not accept a religion other than Islam.
"ان الدین عندالله الاسلام" - "Certainly religion before God is Islam" [13].
"و من یبتغ غیر الاسلام دینا فلن یقبل منه" - "And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam will not be accepted beliefs" [14].
Unfortunately Muslims also, like ethnicity and those who had a doctrine, were divided into different religions, and all these are definitely not the truth. The honorable Messenger of Islam (s.a.w.) said:
"ان امتی ستفرق بعدی علی ثلاث و سبعین فرقة, فرقة منها ناجیة, و اثنتان و سبعون فی النار" - "My followers after me will be divided into 73 sects. Only one of them will be saved and the other 72 sects belong to the Fire. "[15] True religion and school that will save between Islamic schools is the School of Ahl al-Bayt (Twelver Shia), and Shiism is the same true Islam and true. The great Messenger of Islam (a.s.) said:
"ایها الناس انی ترکت فیکم ما ان اخذتم به لن تضلوا, کتاب الله و عترتی اهل بیتی" - "Oh, people! I left something in trust with you if you hold it you will never go astray, the Book of God and my family, (that is) my Ahl al-Bayt (the people of my house). "[16]
Abu Dhar Gafari, Buddy Near true and glorious God's Messenger (saw) sent:
"سمعت النبی (ص) انه قال: الا ان مثل اهل بیتی فیکم مثل سفینة نوح فی قومه, من رکبها نجی و من تخلف عنها غرق '. "Know that the Messenger of Allah (saw) heard him say: The example of my Ahl al-Bayt among you is the example of Noah's boat for his tribe. Whoever embarks upon it is saved and whoever turns away from it is drowned! "[17]
The foundation and the base of the Shi'ah School is Monotheism, justice, prophethood, imamate and the Day of Resurrection. The Shia considers the Imamate, the twelve Imams (as) as the successor of the Prophet of Islam (saw), the first of them is the Imam Ali (as) and the last Imam Mahdi (A.Y.).
In existing narratives of the great Messenger of Islam (saw) were mentioned the number and even the names of the twelve Imams (as). Once 'Abdul.lah Ibn Mas'ud was among a group when a Bedouin came and asked, "Who of you is' Abdul.lah Ibn Mas'ud?"' Abdull.lah replied, "I". The Bedouin asked, "Did your Prophet said unto the number of his successors after him?" - "Yes, twelve men! The same number of the tribes of Israel "[18]
Our reason for the legitimacy of Shiism is the Koran and tradition. God commands us in the Quran to follow God, the Messenger and those with authority (Awla Al-Amr), which as told directly by the great Prophet (saw) are the same shías- Immaculate Imams. In many verses of the Quran was stated the matter of Imamate and leadership, verses such as:
"وانذر عشیرتک الاقربین" -
"And admonish thy nearest relatives". [26: 214].
انما ولیکم الله ورسوله والمؤمنون الذین یقیمون الصلاة ویؤتون الذکوة و هم راکعون "-
"Verily, your friends and protectors are only God and His Messenger and those who believe, they do prayer and give alms while are inclined to pray." [5:55]
"یا ایها الرسول بلغ ما انزل الیک من ربک و ان لم تفعل فما بلغت رسالته" -
"O Messenger!Convey what has come down to you from your Lord! And if you do not, it will be as if you had not transmitted anything of His message. "[6:67]
"الیوم اکملت لکم دینکم واتممت علیکم نعمتی و رضیت لکم الاسلام دینا" -
"Today I have perfected your religion and I have accomplished My blessing upon you and I am pleased to have given you Islam as a belief." [5: 3]
"انما یرید الله لیذهب عنکم الرجس اهل البیت» و ...
"Certainly, God wants to remove from you the impurity People of the House! and ... ". [33:33]
The Prophet (saw) also as told directly by the history and the stories always remembered and had to Amir al-Mu'minin Ali (as) as his heir and successor. Like Tabarsí in his History records that when it was lowered the verse: "And admonish thy nearest relatives", the Prophet (saw) said to his relatives. "Sublime God commanded me that I invite to him then that of you to help me in this matter will be my brother and my successor. "Ali (AS) said: "O Messenger of God, I will help you on this path?" The Prophet (saw) placed his arm around Ali said: "Indeed he (Ali) is my brother my heir and my successor among you!Listen to what he says and obey him "The relatives of the Prophet (saw) while laughing stood up and said to Abu Talib -in mockingly:" He has commanded you to obey your son and Achates you say. "[19]
The Prophet (saw) in the last year of his life, when returning from the pilgrimage, known as Hajj Al-Wida '' in the region of Ghadir Khum officially placed and introduced Ali Ibn Abi Talib (as) as Imam and leader of the Muslims, then ordered all present to undertake the covenant loyalty with Ali (AS) as the 'Ameer al-Mu'mineen. And these are the famous words of this honorable on that day, he said, '' من کنت مولاه فهذا علی مولاه "-the one whom I am his master (leader), Ali (AS) is his master (leader)" . This story is considered one of the famous and mutiwatir narratives (numerous chains of transmission) of Islam.
These issues are part of the large number of rational and traditional reasons for the legitimacy of the luminous religion of Islam and the superiority of the Shi'ah School.

cuestión
¿Por qué debo ser musulmán? Por favor responda a mi pregunta con un argumento racional.
Un breve
Aunque algunas de las verdades pueden observarse en las religiones existentes en el mundo actuar, pero sólo en el Islam es visible la figura completa de esta verdad, que es el mismo monoteísmo verdadero. La razón más importante para comprobar esta pretensión es la carencia de un documento crediticio y la existencia de alteraciones y discrepancias intelectuales en los textos religiosos de las demás religiones. Ante esto se encuentran la no alteración del Corán, contar con un documento fiable y una historia crediticia, la perfección de la religión del Islam y la armonización de sus enseñanzas con la razón sensata.
Por otra parte la religión de la verdad en cada época es exclusivamente una religión, y las demás religiones y escuelas existentes son básicamente falsas y carentes de fundamentos, y/o se han exterminado y son abrogadas. Hoy día la religión verdadera es la religión del Islam. El Islam puro y verdadero se manifiesta en el rostro de la Escuela de Ahl Bayt (el shiísmo), mientras que sólo las enseñanzas shías son las que pueden mostrar el Islam puro de Muhammad (s.a.w.).
Respuestas detalladas
Para clarificar la respuesta deberán analizarse asuntos tales como: las razones de la insuficiencia de las demás religiones existentes en la actualidad, y los argumentos de la legitimidad y superioridad de la religión del Islam y de la Escuela de Ahl Bayt (a.s.):
A) Los argumentos de la insuficiencia de las religiones existentes en el mundo (exceptuando al Islam).
Antes de mencionar los argumentos de la insuficiencia de las demás religiones existentes en el mundo, recordamos dos puntos:
Primer punto: nuestro propósito no es decir que todo lo existente en las religiones actuales sea falso y no pueda encontrarse ninguna palabra de verdad en ellas, sino que nuestro propósito es decir que en estas religiones existentes hoy día hay temas inaceptables, mientras que estas religiones no pueden expresar la forma completa.
Segundo punto: lo que en este corto análisis indicamos son algunas de las insuficiencias de las dos religiones importantes del mundo actual, es decir el cristianismo y judaísmo, en esta forma se evidenciará el valor y el crédito de las demás religiones, que desde el punto de vista de aceptabilidad y crédito se encuentran en un grado inferior a estas dos religiones.
Respecto a las razones que comprueban que el cristianismo hoy día no puede ser la forma completa de la verdad:
1. Primera razón: el Evangelio no fue declarado en repetidas ocasiones y carece de un documento definitivo que lo respalde.
El Profeta Jesús (a.s.) pertenecía a las doce tribus de Israel, su lengua fue el hebreo, y en Jerusalén pretendió ser profeta. La gente de ese lugar también era hebrea y lo rechazó, fuera de algunos que carecían de información respecto a sus posturas. Sin embargo algunas personas de Jerusalén que estaban familiarizadas con la lengua griega se dispersaron en las ciudades de Asia Menor e invitaron a la gente a la religión de Jesús (a.s.). Ellos escribieron libros en lengua griega en los cuales registraron diversos asuntos, y anunciaron a la gente de Grecia y Roma: “Jesús dijo esto e hizo lo otro”. Aquellos que habían visto a Jesús (a.s.) y habían sido testigos de sus actos y dichos, que conocían su lengua y se encontraban en Palestina, no habían aceptado a Jesús (a.s.) como su Profeta, mientras que a las historias escritas en griego las consideraron ficticias. Aquellos que aceptaron estos libros e historias fue gente de lugares lejanos a Palestina, que no había visto en su vida la ciudad de Jerusalén, ni tampoco al Profeta Jesús (a.s.), e inclusive desconocían su lengua. Si las historias escritas en el Evangelio fuesen mentiras fue porque los escritores no tenían obstáculo que les impidiera escribirlas ni tampoco los oyentes medio para negarlas.
Por ejemplo en el Evangelio de Mateo dice que cuando Jesús nació vinieron unos mayus (hombres zoroástricos del oriente) y preguntaron: “¿Dónde se encuentra ese rey judío que acaba de nacer? Nosotros vimos su estrella en el Oriente”. Pero ellos no lo mostraron. Repentinamente volvieron a ver esa misma estrella que se desplazaba en el cielo deteniéndose sobre una casa, ellos entendieron que ahí era donde estaba Jesús (a.s.). Una historia como ésta que definitivamente es ficticia fue escrita en el Evangelio sin temor a ningún escándalo ya que no lo habían escrito en lengua hebrea para la gente de Jerusalén, sino que lo habían escrito para gente extranjera, y en un lugar extraño es fácil jactarse. Estamos seguros que ningún astrólogo acepta que con el nacimiento de cada persona aparece una estrella y se desplaza sobre su cabeza, no los zoroástricos aceptan esto ni tampoco otros fuera de ellos. Así también exponemos que los cristianos antiguos mantenían diversas opiniones sobre si Jesús (a.s.) fue crucificado o no. Inclusive en algunos Evangelios estaba registrado que básicamente Jesús no fue crucificado, mas si alguien es matado en una ciudad un suceso así no queda oculto de la mayoría de la gente de ese lugar, en especial el ser crucificado. Pero puesto que los Evangelios fueron escritos para los extranjeros y en lenguas extranjeras, y estos extranjeros no se encontraban en Jerusalén como para enterarse si Jesús habías sido matado o no, los autores del los Evangelios con completa libertad escribieron sin ningún temor lo que quisieron. Después de 300 años de la llegada de Jesús (a.s.) organizaron una reunión donde los sabios cristianos consultaron cómo dar fin a las diferencias tocantes a este asunto. Decidieron elegir cuatro de entre todos los Evangelios y considerar su contenido como verídico, y los demás Evangelios que eran muchos en número considerarlos falsos. En estos cuatro Evangelios fue rechazado el asunto de que Jesús (a.s.) no había sido crucificado y considerado como no oficial.[1]
2. Segunda razón, la insuficiencia de la religión cristiana. La existencia de numerosos asuntos de contradicciones y alteraciones en los actuales Evangelios. Para más información el lector puede recurrir a las obras de “El Sendero de la Felicidad”, del gran sabio Sha’rânî[2], y “Idzhâr Al-Haq de Fâdil Hindî”, Hibati Al.lah Ibn Jalîl Al-Rahmân, y “El Corán y otros Libros Celestiales” del mártir Hâshimî Niyâd.
3. Tercera razón, incompatibilidad de algunas de las creencias cristianas con los fundamentos de la lógica y la razón. Por ejemplo el que creen que Dios Hijo se materializó en forma de un humano, acepta como propios los pecados de los humanos y soportando el sufrimiento de la cruz expía los pecados. En el Evangelio de Juan leemos lo siguiente:
“¡Así amó Dios al mundo! Le dio al Hijo Único, para que quien cree en él no se pierda, sino que tenga vida eterna. Dios no envió al Hijo al mundo para condenar al mundo, sino para que se salve el mundo gracias a él”.[3]
Respecto a la religión judía existen también estas tres dificultades importantes, puesto que:
Primero: la Toráh consta de tres versiones,
1. La versión hebrea, que tiene crédito entre los judíos y los sabios protestantes.
2. La versión samaritana, que tiene crédito entre los samaritanos (otra etnia de las doce tribus de Israel).
3. La versión griega, que entre los sabios cristianos no protestantes es considerada crediticia.
La versión samaritana consta sólo del Pentateuco o los cinco libros de Moisés, del Libro de Josué y del de Los Jueces, y no consideran crediticos otros libros del Antiguo Testamento. El tiempo y el intervalo entre la creación de Adán hasta el Diluvio de Noé en la primera versión considera 1656, en la segunda 1307 y en la tercera 1362 años. Entonces las tres versiones no pueden ser correctas sino que una debe ser correcta y crediticia, y no es claro cuál de ellas lo es.[4]
Segundo: en la Toráh también existen asuntos que son rechazados por el intelecto humano.
Por ejemplo en la Toráh, Dios fue presentado como un humano que camina, canta, miente y engaña, puesto que dijo a Adán que si comía del árbol de la Ciencia del bien y del mal moriría. Pero Adán y Eva comieron de ese árbol, no sólo no murieron sino que se familiarizaron con el bien y el mal.[5]
O la historia existente en la Toráh cuando Yahvé (Dios) lucha con Jacob.[6]
B. La razón de la legitimidad y superioridad del Islam
1. Primera razón: estar vivo y eterno el milagro de la religión del Islam, puesto que el milagro principal de esta religión es el “Corán” presentado en forma de libro, lógica y ciencia, contrario al milagro de los Profetas anteriores que fue en forma de un asunto visible y sensible, es por ello que siempre está vivo y depende de sí mismo, sin depender de la presencia ni de la vida especial del Profeta del Islam (s.a.w.) siendo un milagro eterno e inmortal.
Además de que el Corán al anunciar el desafío anuncia constantemente a todo el mundo que está vivo y que es eterno: “Y si dudáis de lo que hicimos descender del cielo para Nuestro siervo, aportad vosotros un capítulo semejante…”.[7]
2. Secunda razón: la no alteración del Corán significa que ningún cambio ni transformación fue realizado en él. Puesto que además de la promesa de Dios que dijo que en verdad Él es su protector,[8] el mismo Profeta (s.a.w.) ponía atención especial en la memorización exacta de éste. Primero: a un grupo conocido como kâtibân wah (los escribas de la revelación) ordenaba que escribieran las aleyas y suras. Segundo: estimulaba asiduamente a sus Compañeros Cercanos y a sus seguidores para que memorizaran el Corán, por ello un gran grupo en la época del Profeta (s.a.w.) fue famoso como “los memorizadores del Corán”. Tercero: estimular a la recitación del Corán. Los recitadores debían pronunciar los vocablos con sus especialidades enunciativas y de entonación, además del estudio y el entendimiento de su contenido.[9]
Y estos factores provocaron que el Corán quedase protegido de la calamidad de la alteración.
3. Tercera razón: el camino para comprobar la legitimidad del Islam es considerar el asunto que el Profeta del Islam (a.s.) es el sello de la Profecía, puesto que los textos religiosos del Islam[10]enfatizan en que Muhammad (s.a.w.) es el último Profeta de Dios y después de él no vendrá Profeta alguno.
En todas las sociedades humanas las últimas instrucciones de un director o jefe son la medida de un acto y su realización es imperativa. Entonces al llegar nuevas instrucciones las anteriores automáticamente son anuladas.
En los textos religiosos de las demás religiones no dice que su Profeta fuese el último enviado de Dios, sino que en una forma, dieron la buena nueva del surgimiento del Profeta del Islam a sus seguidores.[11] Es decir en una forma menciona la temporalidad de éstas mismas.
4. Cuarta razón: el asunto que deberá tomarse en cuenta es la perfección del Islam, que el Islam tiene enseñanzas en las diversas y numerosas perspectivas espiritual, psíquica, individual, social, material e inmaterial de la vida del ser humano. Para más conocimiento de la perfección y superioridad de los significados religiosos del Islam deberá realizarse un estudio comparativo entre el contenido de los textos sagrados de la religión del Islam y el de otras religiones. En ese caso se manifiesta y evidencia la superioridad y perfección de las enseñanzas religiosas del Islam en las partes de la doctrina, el monoteísmo y los atributos de Dios, la moral individual y social, el derecho, la economía, la política, el gobierno y otros.
5. Quinta razón: entre las religiones existentes en la actualidad, la única religión que cuenta con una historia viva y crediticia es el Islam. Los historiadores registraron incluso los pormenores de la infancia del Profeta (s.a.w.). Las demás religiones carecen de un documento histórico crediticio, por ello numerosos de los intelectuales occidentales incluso dudan de la existencia del Profeta Jesús (a.s.). Si el Corán, Libro de nosotros los musulmanes, no hubiese mencionado el nombre de Jesús (a.s.) y de los demás Profetas (a.s.) posiblemente las religiones cristiana y judía, así como sus Profetas no tendrían tal reconocimiento ni popularidad con el que cuentan hoy día en la sociedad humana.[12]
Entre las religiones y las escuelas islámicas es muy evidente la superioridad de la Escuela Shi’a por “su veracidad en comparación con las demás escuelas. La religión de la verdad en cada época es sólo y exclusivamente una religión. Dios Sublime en cada época tiene sólo una ley Divina, y cada religión y escuela fuera de ésta es fundamentalmente falsa o mentira, o abrogada y/o extinguida.
La multiplicidad de las religiones Divinas y Celestiales que hasta hoy día fueron descendidas para la humanidad, es una multiplicidad longitudinal no transversal. Bajo este significado que la nueva religión es abrogante y complemento de la religión anterior. Así al surgir la nueva religión termina la validez de la anterior, pierde su oficialidad cediendo su lugar a la nueva religión, siendo necesario para todos seguir a la nueva religión y tenerle fe. Por ello en los textos sagrados y en los textos claros religiosos a aquellos que no convierten su fe en la nueva religión son recordados como “incrédulos”.
El Islam es la última y más perfecta religión que fue enviada para la humanidad, y Dios sublime no aceptará a otra religión fuera del Islam.
«ان الدین عندالله الاسلام » –“Ciertamente, la religión ante Dios es el Islam”.[13]
«و من یبتغ غیر الاسلام دینا فلن یقبل منه » –“Y a quien desee otra creencia diferente al Islam no se le aceptará”.[14]
Por desgracia los musulmanes también, al igual que las etnias y aquellos que contaban con una doctrina, se dividieron en diversas religiones, y definitivamente todas éstas no son la verdad. El honorable Mensajero del Islam (s.a.w.) dijo:
«ان امّتی ستفرق بعدی علی ثلاث و سبعین فرقة، فرقة منها ناجیة، و اثنتان و سبعون فی النار» –“Mis seguidores después de mí se dividirán en 73 sectas. Sólo una de éstas se salvará y las otras 72 sectas pertenecerán al Fuego”.[15] La religión verdadera y la escuela que se salvará entre las escuelas islámicas es la Escuela de Ahl-Bayt (shía duodecimana), y el shiísmo es ese mismo Islam cierto y verdadero. El gran Mensajero del Islam (a.s.) dijo:
«ایها الناس انی ترکت فیکم ما ان اخذتم به لن تضلوا، کتاب الله و عترتی اهل بیتی» –“¡Oh, gente! Yo dejé entre vosotros algo en depósito que si os aferráis a él nunca os extraviareis, el Libro de Dios y mi familia, (es decir) mi Ahl-Bayt (la gente de mi casa)”.[16]
Abû Dhar Gafârî, el Compañero Cercano veraz y glorioso del Mensajero de Dios (s.a.w) transmitió:
«سمعت النبی (ص) انه قال: الا ان مثل اهل بیتی فیکم مثل سفینة نوح فی قومه، من رکبها نجی و من تخلف عنها غرق ». “¡Sabed que al Mensajero de Dios (s.a.w.) escuche decir: El ejemplo de mi Ahl-Bayt entre vosotros es el ejemplo de la Barca de Noé para su tribu. Aquel que se embarque en ella se salva y quien se aleja de ella se ahoga!”[17]
El fundamento y la base de la Escuela Shi’ah es el Monoteísmo, la Justicia, la Profecía, el Imâmato y el día de la Resurrección. El shía considera al Imâmato, a los doce Inmaculados Imâmes (a.s.) como sucesores del Profeta del Islam (s.a.w.), que el primero de ellos es el Imâm ‘Alî (a.s.) y el último el Imâm Mahdî (a.ÿ.).
En las narraciones existentes del gran Mensajero del Islam (s.a.w.) fueron mencionados el número e incluso los nombres de los doce Inmaculados Imâmes (a.s.). En una ocasión ‘Abdul.lah Ibn Mas’ûd se encontraba entre un grupo cuando llegó un beduino y preguntó: “¿Quien de vosotros es ‘Abdul.lah Ibn Mas’ûd?” ‘Abdull.lah respondió: “Yo”. El beduino preguntó: “¿Acaso vuestro Profeta os informó el número de sus sucesores después de él?” –“¡Sí, doce hombres! El mismo número de las tribus de Israel” [18]
Nuestra razón para la legitimidad del shiísmo es el Corán y la tradición. Dios en el Corán nos ordena seguir a Dios, al Mensajero y a los dotados de autoridad (Awlâ Al-Amr) –que según lo dicho directamente por el gran Profeta (s.a.w.) son los mismos Inmaculados Imâmes shías–. En numerosas aleyas del Corán fue indicado el asunto del Imâmato y el liderazgo, aleyas tales como:
«وانذر عشیرتک الاقربین» –
“Y amonesta a tus familiares más cercanos”. [26:214].
انما ولیکم الله ورسوله والمؤمنون الذین یقیمون الصلاة ویؤتون الذکوة و هم راکعون»–
”En verdad, vuestros amigos y protectores son solamente Dios y Su Mensajero y aquellos que tienen fe, que hacen la oración y dan limosna mientras están inclinados rezando”.[5:55]
«یا ایها الرسول بلغ ما انزل الیک من ربک و ان لم تفعل فما بلغت رسالته»،–
“¡Oh, Mensajero! ¡Transmite lo que ha descendido a ti procedente de tu Señor! Y, si no lo haces, será como si no hubieses transmitido nada de Su mensaje”. [6:67]
«الیوم اکملت لکم دینکم واتممت علیکم نعمتی و رضیت لکم الاسلام دینا»ً، –
“Hoy he completado vuestra religión y he consumado Mi bendición sobre vosotros y estoy satisfecho de haberos dado como creencia el Islam”. [5:3]
«انما یرید الله لیذهب عنکم الرجس اهل البیت» و ...
“Ciertamente, Dios quiere apartar de vosotros la impureza ¡Gente de la Casa! y…”. [33:33]
El Profeta (s.a.w.) también según lo dicho directamente por la historia y por las narraciones siempre recordaba y presentaba a Amîr Al-Mu’minin ‘Alî (a.s.) como su heredero y sucesor. Al igual queTabarsî en su obra de historia registró que cuando fue descendida la aleya: “Y amonesta a tus familiares más cercanos”, el Profeta (s.a.w.) dijo a sus parientes: “Dios Sublime me ordenó que os invite hacia Él. Entonces aquel de vosotros que me ayude en este asunto será mi hermano y mi sucesor”. ‘Alî (a.s.) dijo: “¡Oh Mensajero de Dios, yo te ayudaré en este sendero!” El Profeta (s.a.w.) colocando su brazo sobre los hombros ‘Alî dijo: “¡En verdad él (‘Alî) es mi hermano, mi heredero y mi sucesor entre vosotros! ¡Escuchad lo que dice y obedecedle!” Los parientes del Profeta (s.a.w.) mientras reían se levantaron y dijeron a Abû Tâlib –en tono de burla–: “El te ha ordenado que obedezcas a tu hijo, y acates lo que diga”.[19]
El Profeta (s.a.w.) en el último año de su vida, cuando regresaba de la Peregrinación, famosa comoHayy Al-Widâ’’, en la región de Gadîr Jum oficialmente colocó y presentó a ‘Alî Ibn Abî Tâlib (a.s.) como Imâm y líder de los musulmanes, después ordenó a todos los presentes para que realizaran el pacto de fidelidad con ‘Alî (a.s.) como el ‘Amîr Al-Mu’minîn. Y estas son las palabras famosas de este honorable en ese día, él dijo: “«من کنت مولاه فهذا علی مولاه» –Aquel de quien yo sea su señor (líder), ‘Alî (a.s.) también es su señor (líder)”. Esta narración es considerada una de las narraciones famosas ymutiwatir (con numerosas cadenas de transmisión) del Islam.
Estos asuntos, son parte del gran número de razones racionales y tradicionales de la legitimidad de la luminosa religión del Islam y de la superioridad de la Escuela Shi’ah.

Why I stopped being a Muslim?
TRANSLATE Federico Dilla
It was a question I heard on more than one occasion after converting to Christianity. This question is heard from both Christians and Muslims.
For Christians it was a question of curiosity or excitement of seeing how God had changed my life. As Muslims it was a question to offend and humiliate. That question was for Christians: How and when did you become the Lord? But Muslims was: You are a Christian (Masihi in Arabic)?
When I heard this question in the beginning was dangerous and complicated for me no matter how difficult or incomprehensible but because it just puts me in a frame of confrontation with my soul and my challenge around. And the answer below calls me a sincere decision to undergo my view consciously. That one side. The other is that every time people ask me, I see and I realize I sincerely want to know what I have found in Jesus to leave Muhammad.
It was 1976 when I was 12 years old. With my best friend bought a BAHI AZIZ Moroccan Arabic newspaper. I do not know why we bought that paper and also at such an early age to read the newspaper. But now I know that God was preparing me the way to be saved by that newspaper.
What was in that newspaper? As my friend and I found an ad in Arabic that read: "If you want to receive Bible studies and Bible-writes to this address". It was the address of a ministry in France to North Africa.
This announcement was not too much attention because I did not know that these Bible courses were treated nor knew it was the Bible.
Then, all that had caught my attention was the word: -GRATIS-
We decided to both write to this address in Marseille, France. Over two weeks we received the first course of creation. We are both very excited to receive these courses and I was especially proud to the point of being selfish. Do not want anyone to discover that direction. I just wanted to continue corresponding with them and no one else to share this with me.
After two years, my cousin found out she was corresponding with Christians.
He warned me that if the police found out that I was going to put in jail. At the age of 14 years, the prison was very scary for me and from that moment I began to wonder: Why do people reject and not accept to know about Christianity?
For fear of prison, I left the mail. Time passed and all was forgotten for me. But with God nothing is forgotten. One day I was looking on the radio, not knowing what I wanted, and I found an evangelical program in Arabic named ALA NUR NUR ("Light on Light" in Arabic).
It was issued from the Monte Carlo. Then no one would know who was in contact with the gospel. And thanks to the radio, I discovered many directions offered me the gospel.
Both my age and my curiosity grew together. My desire to know more without thinking pushed me like almost all Muslims to reject Christianity. According to Muslim Christians (The Masihiyln):
l. They have the Bible (The lnjil) changed
2. Believe in 4 gospels.
3. They believe that Jesus was crucified.
4. They believe that Jesus is God and the Son of God.
But Islam teaches us the opposite of these Christian doctrines.
Then, as a Muslim I had to also reject Christianity. And for me to change my religion was blasphemy to God (Allah). Era consider myself an atheist (Kafir).
I practiced all Pillars Of Islam minus the pillar of the pilgrimage.
It was a constant battle in my life, both inside and outside. Inside I was unsure of what was the truth and was not quiet what people would think if he knew he was in contact with Christians. And if I found that I was studying the gospel, what would happen to me? and had a battle outside because it was hard for me to deny the religion of my family and my grandparents. And if he were to do that, people would reject me and bring shame to my family as a prodigal son, an atheist, and disobedient. As a result of this battle, again I left all contact with Bible courses and listening to radio programs evangelicals.
But God did not leave me. As it says in Philippians 1: 6: "... he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ." In 1983 again something pushed me to listen again to the radio program broadcast from Monte Carlo but from Malaga. On that day they announced an address in Modena, Italy for Bible courses. I wrote to them and then I got the answer, but in Belgium. And the person who wrote me asked me to send the answers to the address in Malaga. I mean, it was a mess not fit in my mind in the beginning write to Italy, Belgium and receiving courses send answers to Malaga.
The person who wrote me was a Moroccan believer (Fouad Said serving the Lord Jesus until now Málaga). In his first letter he asked if he could visit me at my house in Morocco. After three months on a very hot summer for three p.m. two people came to my house asking for me. I did not know them. But one of them was he who wrote me (Fouad Said). I invited them in, as our custom to have a cup of tea. They spent two hours with me but told me about the gospel or Christ.
After three months; on a Friday, I was home alone in the evening and someone knocked on the door of my house was a Moroccan I did not know. But he presented himself as the friend of my friend Fouad Said I visited last summer. This new person called Mr. Ab. He was also a believer and serving the Lord Jesus in Malaga Fouad Said. This really spoke to me of Christ. And every three months I visited Mr. Ab or Mr. Said.
I continued correspondence with them. During these visits they did to me, I raised many questions and doubts I had about Christianity, not to find it out and find answers to them, but just wanted to attack these people and show them that they were wrong in being Christians. But they gave me answers to my questions and arguments to my doubts. But everything seemed nothing to me and did not satisfy me. My friend Mr. Ab, gave me a Bible. He asked me to start reading it. While reading the Bible, I had conversations with my friends from the neighborhood about the truth of Christianity and the authenticity of the Bible (the Injil). And while studying the Bible, reading the Koran while.
During this time I made comparisons between what the Bible says with what was in the Koran. Really, during this time I found myself in a state of total confusion and end. The Quran said that is the last and only truth inspired by God to follow.
And on the other hand, the Bible also said that the only way to salvation (John 14: 6). So I wondered: what is the right way?
In this comparison between the Bible and the Koran, I relied on the principle of the questions and misconceptions that all Muslims are against Christianity:
1. The Bible is corrupted.
2. Christ was never crucified, nor knew death.
3. Christians believe Jesus is God and the Son of God as well.
4. The Bible prophesies and teaches things about the coming of a prophet after Muhammad Jesus AHMED call), but Christians have taken from the Bible.
What then was the result of being compared? Well, God enlightened my mind with His Spirit came to answer my questions and my doubts. And my reason for refuting these misconceptions I had against Christianity. It contradicts the Quran. For example, the Qur'an denies the Trinity. In Sura "Women," 171 says "" People of the Book. Do not exaggerate in your religion, do not say God save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah and His Word which He bestowed on Mary, and a Spirit from Him Creed Why, in God and His messengers. "
Yes, to the Muslim this verse shows that Jesus was only a messenger.
But can not see that in this verse the Qur'an confirms that Christ is also God?
How? For here the Quran declares that Jesus Christ is the Word of God and the Spirit of God. So God's Word and His Spirit and there with God from eternity, and that neither his words nor his Spirit have neither beginning nor end for therefore Christ as word and Spirit of God has no beginning or end. Jesus is God. It is a confirmation according to what the Bible says in John 1: 1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God."
The second thing I discovered is about the perfection of the Bible.
Yet what the Quran says about the corrupted Bible, I found that the Qur'an mandates that every Muslim believes in the Bible. As is in context: "Say: People of the Book do nothing basis while not keep up the Torra, Gospel and Revelation you have received from your Lord." Sura "The Table", 68.
Then the Qur'an itself commands me to apply what Scripture says. That means that the Bible is right and perfect. It is not corrupted. Accordingly the Bible says. "Be careful to do everything that I command.
Do not add to it nor take away from it "(Deuteronomy 12:32) .And Revelation 22:19 says,". And if any removed from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life and the holy city and from the things which are written in this book. "
The third thing I discovered is about the crucifixion and death of Christ.
The Qur'an states the denial of the crucifixion and death of Christ but also confirms this truth when he says in Sura "Mary", 33: "Jesus speaking:" Peace on me the day I was born the day I die and the day to be raised to life. '"And in Sura "The Life of Imran", 55 says, "When God said, Jesus! I'm going to call me, I will raise you to Me, and am cleansing thee of those who disbelieve and am setting up the day of the resurrection, those who follow you above those who disbelieve. "
Besides all this, the most effective argument I could give in to Islam and refute those doubts and mistaken beliefs that had to Christian doctrine was Muhammad not assured me salvation but he also pleaded sinner and needed God's forgiveness . But Christ could save me when he died on the cross and rose from the dead for me and for all humanity. Before I practiced Islamic law the "Pillars of Islam" not sure my heavenly future. I did not know how I could fix the issue of my separation from God because of original sin. But in Christ I found the solution to this issue and realized the need for my salvation required me to accept Christ and believe in Him as my Savior and Lord. I recognized that I was a sinner but only by believing in Christ have God's forgiveness for my sins. As the Bible says in John 3: l6:
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life."
Therefore, I do not need more laws or Islamic pillars to God.
And it just gave me that forgiveness Christ in His atonement for me when He died on the cross for my sins and the sins of others.
As Scripture says, "But when the fullness of time, God sent his Son, born of woman, born under law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. "(Galatians 4: 4-5).
So in 1985 I decided to accept and follow Jesus Christ as Lord of my life. And I thank God for being saved and belong to His Kingdom.
It's been 10 years of my new life with Christ and thus give glory and honor to His name. But what was this change by me or by my God? I think everything that happened to me was by His grace (His unmerited favor) as it says in Ephesians 2: 8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God, not by works so that no one should boast. "
And I want this witness to be a help to all who want to experience the joy of salvation through Christ, and the glory of our God "who desires all men to be saved and come to knowledge of the truth" (lª Timothy 2: 4).
