God and Man

GOD AND MAN preserved. Therefore, one who seriously wants to know the right concept of God has no other choice but Islam. The Quran is the only scripture that has been preserved in its original form. According to the Quran, God is One. He alone is the Creator and the Lord of the Universe. He is the Sustainer of all the worlds. God is a living Being. He sees, and He hears. Therefore, it is possible for man to directly connect with Him at every moment and in every place. With His unlimited powers, God can make up for every limitation of man. God is the Helper of man in both his pre-death and post-death periods. God is the limitless treasure of peace and security for man. Throughout human history, God has guided man through His prophets. From the very advent of human history on the Earth, God has sent a series of Messengers into the world to inform people about such issues—or, in other words, to tell them about what can be called God’s Creation Plan. God has sent at least one Messenger to every nation, the last of them being the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad bin Abdullah (570-632 CE), through whom the original guidance became preserved. The essential message of all these Messengers was the same. All these Messengers exhorted people to lead a God-oriented life based on awareness of, and the willing self-surrender to, the One God—or, in brief, a life characterized by ethical monotheism. This way of life is the only way to true success in this temporary world and the eternal world that comes after death—the world of the Hereafter. God is man’s Creator and Sustainer. On account of this, God fully knows man’s reality. God knows our every need. Because of this, God alone is capable of fully understanding man and providing him with all that he needs. It is only such a Being who
