The Questions of non-Muslim youth and the Answers of Quran
(A new method toward knowing more about Quran preferred by young generation)
(A youth or every interrogator asks and God answers via Quran)
Q1: What is the reality of Islam
After sending down the Torah, the Gospel, and other holy books God in fact has split the stone of all divine religions and get the Islam out of it. Actually, Islam is the core of all religions. God, indeed, brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living. And through sending down the Quran he, in fact, has refined the non-applicable as well as non-alive part of other holy books. He, then, has kept and completed the remaining alive and applicable parts and sent down a new religion named Islam.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ فالِقُ الْحَبِّ وَ النَّوى یُخْرِجُ الْحَیَّ مِنَ الْمَیِّتِ وَ مُخْرِجُ الْمَیِّتِ مِنَ الْحَیِّ ذلِکُمُ اللَّهُ فَأَنَّى تُؤْفَکُونَ (انعام-95)
It is Allah who caused the seed-grain and the date-stone to split and sprout. He caused the living to issue from the dead, and He is the One to cause the dead to issue from the living. That is Allah: then how are you deluded away from the truth? 95-Anaam (Surah 6)
-------------------------------------------
Q2: Why do many people have not received the truth of Islam
Those who God has led them astray due to their hypocrisy, never find the way.
فَما لَکُمْ فِی الْمُنافِقینَ فِئَتَیْنِ وَ اللَّهُ أَرْکَسَهُمْ بِما کَسَبُوا أَ تُریدُونَ أَنْ تَهْدُوا مَنْ أَضَلَّ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ یُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُ سَبیلاً (النساء-88)
Why should you be two groups concerning the hypocrites, while Allah has made them relapse because of their deeds? Do you desire to guide someone Allah has led astray? Whomever Allah leads astray, you will never find any way for him. 88-Nisa (Surah 4)
-------------------------------------------
Q3: What should we do to get out of wrongdoing
We have to pray and ask God to direct us into right way like the prophets and pious servants of God who did the same and were responded by God.
وَ نُوحاً إِذْ نادى مِنْ قَبْلُ فَاسْتَجَبْنا لَهُ فَنَجَّیْناهُ وَ أَهْلَهُ مِنَ الْکَرْبِ الْعَظی (الانبیاء- 76)
(Remember) Noah, when he cried (to Us) aforetime: We listened to his (prayer) and delivered him and his family from great distress. 76- Anbiaa (Surah 21)
وَ أَیُّوبَ إِذْ نادى رَبَّهُ أَنِّی مَسَّنِیَ الضُّرُّ وَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمینَ (الانبیاء- 83)
And (remember) Job, when He cried to his Lord," Truly distress has seized me, but You are the Most Merciful of those that are merciful." 83- Anbiaa (Surah 21)
فَاسْتَجَبْنا لَهُ فَکَشَفْنا ما بِهِ مِنْ ضُرٍّ وَ آتَیْناهُ أَهْلَهُ وَ مِثْلَهُمْ مَعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِنْ عِنْدِنا وَ ذِکْرى لِلْعابِدینَ (الانبیاء- 84)
So We listened to him: We removed the distress that was on him, and We restored his people to him, and doubled their number, - - as a Grace from Ourselves, and a thing for commemoration, for all who serve Us. 84- Anbiaa (Surah 21)
وَ ذَا النُّونِ إِذْ ذَهَبَ مُغاضِباً فَظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ نَقْدِرَ عَلَیْهِ فَنادى فِی الظُّلُماتِ أَنْ لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ سُبْحانَکَ إِنِّی کُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمینَ (الانبیاء-87)
And remember Zunnun, when he departed in wrath: He imagined that We had no power over him! But he cried through the depths of darkness," There is no god but You: glory to You: I was indeed wrong!" 87- Anbiaa (Surah 21)
فَاسْتَجَبْنا لَهُ وَ نَجَّیْناهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَ کَذلِکَ نُنْجِی الْمُؤْمِنینَ (الانبیاء-88)
So We listened to him: and delivered him from distress: and thus do We deliver those who have faith. 88- Anbiaa (Surah 21)
وَ زَکَرِیَّا إِذْ نادى رَبَّهُ رَبِّ لا تَذَرْنی فَرْداً وَ أَنْتَ خَیْرُ الْوارِثینَ (الانبیاء- 89)
And (remember) Zakariya, when he cried to his Lord:" O my Lord! Leave me not without offspring, though You are the best of inheritors." 89- Anbiaa (Surah 21)
فَاسْتَجَبْنا لَهُ وَ وَهَبْنا لَهُ یَحْیى وَ أَصْلَحْنا لَهُ زَوْجَهُ إِنَّهُمْ کانُوا یُسارِعُونَ فِی الْخَیْراتِ وَ یَدْعُونَنا رَغَباً وَ رَهَباً وَ کانُوا لَنا خاشِعینَ (الانبیاء-90)
So We listened to him: and We granted him John: We cured his wife's (barrenness) for him. These (three) were ever quick in doing in good works; they used to call on Us with yearning and awe, and humble themselves before Us. 90- Anbiaa (Surah 21)
-------------------------------------------
Q4: What is the similarity between Moses (AS) and Prophet Jesus (AS) with Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)
They all have the God in common and all of them are the Lord of the World's messengers.
وَ قالَ مُوسى یا فِرْعَوْنُ إِنِّی رَسُولٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعالَمینَ(الاعراف- 104)
Moses said:" O Pharaoh! I am a messenger from the Lord of the Worlds". 104- A'raaf (Surah 7)
قالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعالَمینَ (الاعراف- 121)
Finally, the sorcerers told:" We believe in the Lord of the Worlds- 121- A'raaf (Surah 7)
رَبِّ مُوسى وَ هارُونَ (الاعراف- 122)
" The Lord of Moses and Aaron." 122- A'raaf (Surah 7)
-------------------------------------------
Q5: Who at last confirm the promise of God messengers
God gives life to those who do good deed. He, also, gives them the light to get guided and walk proudly among people.
أَ وَ مَنْ کانَ مَیْتاً فَأَحْیَیْناهُ وَ جَعَلْنا لَهُ نُوراً یَمْشی بِهِ فِی النَّاسِ کَمَنْ مَثَلُهُ فِی الظُّلُماتِ لَیْسَ بِخارِجٍ مِنْها کَذلِکَ زُیِّنَ لِلْکافِرینَ ما کانُوا یَعْمَلُونَ (الانعام- 122)
Can he who was dead, to whom We gave life, and a Light whereby he can walk amongst men, be like him who is in the depths of darkness, from which he can never come out? Thus to those without faith their own deeds seem pleasing. 122- Anaam (Surah 6)
-------------------------------------------
Q6: Who does get guided, in fact, and find the right path
Only sincere get guided.
قَالَفَبِعِزَّتِکَلَأُغْوِیَنَّهُمْأَجْمَعِینَ(ص- 82)
(Iblis) said:" Then, by The Power, I will lead them all astray. 82- Saad (Surah 38)
إِلَّاعِبَادَکَمِنْهُمُالْمُخْلَصِینَ(ص- 83)
"Except The Servants amongst them, sincere and purified (by Your Grace)." 83-Saad (Surah 38)
-------------------------------------------
Q7: What testimonies existed to stabilize the legitimacy and rightfulness of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)
Asking for the guidance from Prophet and being responded by him is enough to stabilize the rightfulness of Islam and Prophet (PBUH). It is in this case that you for sure get to water (the truth) rather than the water foam (the vain).
لَهُ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّ وَ الَّذینَ یَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِهِ لا یَسْتَجیبُونَ لَهُمْ بِشَیْءٍ إِلاَّ کَباسِطِ کَفَّیْهِ إِلَى الْماءِ لِیَبْلُغَ فاهُ وَ ما هُوَ بِبالِغِهِ وَ ما دُعاءُ الْکافِرینَ إِلاَّ فی ضَلالٍ ( رعد- 14)
To Him is due the true prayer: any others that they call upon besides Him hear them no more than if they were to stretch forth their hands for water to reach their mouths but it reaches them not: for the prayer of those without Faith is nothing but vain prayer. 14- Ra'd (Surah 13)
-------------------------------------------
Q8: What are the characteristics of God's messengers specially Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنینَ رِجالٌ صَدَقُوا ما عاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَیْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضى نَحْبَهُ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ یَنْتَظِرُ وَ ما بَدَّلُوا تَبْدیلاً (احزاب-23)
Among the Believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah: of them some have died, and some (still) wait: but they have never changed (their determination) in the least. 23- Ahzaab (Surah 33)
-------------------------------------------
Q9: In a nutshell, what does God say the world about Prophet Muhammad
وَ مِنْهُمُ الَّذینَ یُؤْذُونَ النَّبِیَّ وَ یَقُولُونَ هُوَ أُذُنٌ قُلْ أُذُنُ خَیْرٍ لَکُمْ یُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَ یُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنینَ وَ رَحْمَةٌ لِلَّذینَ آمَنُوا مِنْکُمْ وَ الَّذینَ یُؤْذُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلیمٌ (توبه- 61)
Among them are men who molest the Prophet and say," He is (all) ear." Say," He listens to what is best for you: he believes in Allah, has faith in the Believers, and is a Mercy to those of you who believe." But those who molest the Messenger will have a grievous chastisement. 61- Tawba (Surah 9)

Q10: What will be the end of oppressive states and hired media who does not let the people to perceive the reality and truth of Islam and mission of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

Who, then, dose more wrong than one who utters a lie concerning Allah, and rejects the Truth when it comes to him! Is there not in Hell an abode for the unbelievers? 32- Zumar (Surah 39)
وَ الَّذی جاءَ بِالصِّدْقِ وَ صَدَّقَ بِهِ أُولئِکَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُونَ (زمر- 33)
And he who brings the Truth and he who confirms (and supports) it - - such are the men who do right. 33-Zumar (Surah 39)
