Islam is beautiful

Islam is a beautiful religion, but many people have not realized it. Not only non-Muslims who often misunderstand the teachings of Islam, Muslims still have some who do not realize how beautiful this religion is. Here are reasons that Islam is beautiful that you need to know.

Islam is a religion diridhai Allah SWT

Islam is the most perfect religion and the only one that is blessed by Allah SWT. This is stated in His words, "in fact religion (which is blessed) beside Allah is only Islam" (QS. Ali Imraan: 19).

By becoming Muslim, Muslims have been on a path blessed by Allah SWT. What needs to be done next is to keep behavior as Muslims in accordance with religious law.

Islam is a unifying religion

Even though there are secular media that try to portray Islam as a religion that allows violence and terrorism, in reality it is not. If studied more deeply, Islam is actually a unifying religion that promotes peace.

Mentioned in the word of Allah SWT, "and hold on to the rope (religion) of Allah, and do not divorce" (QS. Ali Imraan: 103). From the verse it is clear that what is taught in Islam is unity in the way of Allah SWT, not division and hostility.

Islamic teachings are easy and clear

In religion, clarity is very important. If anything is unclear, a misunderstanding is very likely. One can do something wrong because he misunderstood the teachings of religion. Luckily Muslims because Islam does not have such a problem. Islamic teachings are easy and clear, with the main sources of the Koran and the hadith of the Prophet.

If there are Muslims who still misunderstand the teachings of Islam, what is wrong is not the teachings, but the people who have not studied properly. To overcome this, Muslims should study religion more deeply than trusted religious experts.

Islam does not teach worship of beings

The next reason Islam is beautiful is that religion teaches about equality between people. As a Muslim, you do not need and are even forbidden to worship fellow humans. This happens because humans on the face of the earth are equal — both mortal beings — while the eternal and worthy of worship are only Allah SWT.

In Islam, what is permissible is only to imitate the attitude of other Muslims, especially the attitude of the Prophet and his companions. Likewise, when you are dealing with scholars or religious experts, you can only follow good advice and behavior.

Islam teaches about brotherhood

Commands in Islam are good things and have noble goals. For example, Islam has an order to maintain brotherhood. Muslims are commanded to respect parents, establish friendships, and respect their neighbors. With this command, someone's social life will look beautiful. Your relationship with people around you is even more harmonious.

That's just one command. Islam has other commands that aim to create beauty in life. Among them are orders or recommendations to help people who are struggling or miserable, visit sick people, deliver bodies, apply justice, and much more.

That is proof that Islam is beautiful. By understanding the beauty of Islam, there are at least three great benefits that you can feel. First, this understanding will strengthen the faith of a Muslim. Second, there are benefits to protect themselves from things that are vaguely halal or forbidden - also called the state of shubhat. Third, understanding the beauty of Islam can help you to do da'wah.
