What is Religion

Lesson ONE.

Presented By: Rizwan Akhtar



What is Religion

Religion means a particular system of faith and

worship. When we believe in something

strongly and firmly, we say it is my religion. So by

definition, if we do not act in accordance

to our religious faith and belief, it means that we do

not really believe in that religion.

If we do things against the teachings of our religion then

it means that we do not have faith in our

religion. The Holy Quran has told us about such

people



What Makes You Muslim?

The Holy Quran does not recognise anyone as Muslim if he or she is notpractising its teachings.

Thus, a true Muslim is one who follows the teachings of Islam at all times.

If we are true Muslims then we should follow the laws of Islam in and outside our home, i.e. in classroom, in playground, in mosque , on streetsand where ever we are.



What is Deen?

In Islamic terminology, the word ‘Deen’ is used for religion. But Deen is much

more comprehensive in its magnitude than Religion. Thus, our Deen is Islamwhich is more than a Religion.

Unlike other religions which are confined to worship only, Islam offers:

a complete code of life.a code of behavior.a perfect system of social interactions.a full constitution of government.a balanced curriculam of comprehensive education.

a right approach to conscious seientific exploration.



What is TRUE Religion?

The true religion tells us many things which we can

never know from any other source.

For instance, Islam gives us correct answers of the

following difficult questions :

• Who has created the universe ?

• Who has created the millions of types of living species ?

• Who has made humans superior over all the creatures?

• Why has He created us ?



What is TRUE Religion? Cont.

No one can know how the universe and every

thing in it has come into existence. What

scientists tell us about the origin of the universe

and the living creatures is their guesswork.

This is the reason that there are many different

theories in science with entirely different

explanations. For instance, Big-bang theory,

Steady state theory, and theory of evolution give

different stories about the existence of the

universe.
