This article is designed for those who wish to become Muslim; as to what would be their benefits after accepting Islam. It should be stated here that we are not trying to entice people to become Muslim, nor are we trying to convert them into the fold of Islam. Any person who wishes to become a Muslim should recognize that he or she will get all these benefits and much more. However, he or she should realize that they have to earn them by practicing the teachings of Islam. Implementing the practice of Islamic teachings is as important as believing.

The following items are some of the benefits to be earned and enjoyed by those who wish to become Muslim:

1. As far as the Creator (whose proper name is Allah) is concerned, you will be able to identify Him and get to know Him, His role and your relationship to His names, you will be able to communicate with Him any time, 24 hours a day, throughout the whole year. As a result of this category, you will be able to know your origin, your roots and the wisdom as to why you are on this planet. You will be able to have good answers to the questions why, how, when, where, what and other philosophical questions.

2. As a result of the first benefit, your loyalty, allegiance, and obedience will be to the Creator himself. You will transcend yourself from all types of allegiance for this world. This means that if there is a conflict of interest between your boss, your job, your government, your system or any worldly relationship with the Creator, you will undoubtedly put your trust in Allah, the Creator of the universe. You will follow Him before you follow anyone else.

3. As a result of the second benefit, you will be able to acquire peace, harmony, tranquility and happiness within yourself, with your family, with people of the world, with the environment and with the universe. One has to remember that the source of peace is Allah, and one of his beautiful names is that He is The Peace.

4. As an endorsement to the third benefit, you will get rid of the extra electrostatic charges from your brain and the central nervous system by performing the daily Salah (prayer). Through Salah, you are to prostrate by putting your forehead to the floor; and as such are grounding yourself, and you are discharging these extra charges into the ground. As a result of this act, you will get rid of many of the neurological diseases from your body.

5. As a result of the fourth benefit, you will acquire a pleasant personality. You will be friendly and amicable. You would not need to drink alcohol, to use drugs or to get involved in vulgarity or immorality.

6. Through the experience of fasting in Islam, you will be able to have self-control, self-restraint, self-discipline, self-education, self-evaluation, and self-obedience to Allah the Creator. You undoubtedly will be able to improve health, personality, character, and behavior.

7. As a result of the sixth benefit, you will be able to control your lusts, selfishness, desires, greed, ego, and conceitedness.

8. Another side reaction of the sixth and seventh benefits is that you will be generous and hospitable; you will try to purify yourself and your mistakes by sharing your happiness and your wealth with those who are less fortunate than you. Your rewards will manifold, compounded daily until the Day of Judgment.

9. By performing pilgrimage to Makkah, you will transcend yourself from being nationalistic, sectarian, or denominational into being universal. You will be part and an essential constituent of the rainbow of Islam. You will be also part of the brotherhood of Islam with those who already submitted themselves to the Creator. At the same time, you will get rid of any inferiority or superiority complexes. You will also find yourself in synchrony and harmony with all the prophets and messengers of Allah since the creation of Adam and Eve until the last final messenger to mankind, prophet Muhammad (PBUH). While in Makkah, you will be able to visit the places of revelation of the Qu`ran as well as the places visited by prophet Abraham and members of his family such as Hagar and Ishmael. You will visit the place where the first astronauts, Adam and Eve landed on earth.

10. In becoming a Muslim, you will do your best to stop all types of exploitations in all their forms: economic, biological, mental, spiritual, psychological, political, etc. You will also work to liberate people and give them freedom of worship, freedom of speech, and freedom of expression. You will be a leader and help lead people to peace, tranquility and happiness.

11. In accepting Islam, you will help to reduce all types of social illnesses in the society: juvenile delinquency, child abuse, domestic abuse, incest, homosexuality, sexual promiscuity, premarital relationships, extramarital relationships, and other vices.

12. As a result of the eleventh benefit, you will reduce and eliminate venereal diseases, AIDS, and other diseases of similar nature in the society.

13. Finally, when you die, you will die at peace. You will have a happy life in the grave and later, eternal happiness. Angels at the time of death will comfort you. They will also show you your place in paradise. On the Day of Judgment, you will be able to see and meet all the prophets and messengers of God to mankind including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (PBUH). You will be able to see and meet any and all of your friends and relatives. You will live an eternal life of bliss in paradise.

Reflections

The benefits mentioned above and many more cannot be purchased with money anywhere in the world. No one is to sell them to you or to advertise them on TV. You have to take the initiative yourself and try to acquire them by accepting Islam first and then by practicing its teachings. You should be honest with yourself, sincere, and truthful to the Creator. You should try wholeheartedly to practice what you believe, regardless of whether someone else is good or not. While seeking happiness is a must, it should not be measured with other people's standards or with material gains. Happiness is from its potential to its kinetic forms. People around you should feel your happiness as well as benefit from you.



Are you ready to accept this challenge today? Remember, tomorrow may not come, and it will be too late.

Religion and delusion.

Those who left Islam said/claim they didn't benefit from the religion but benefit in thier new faith, those who left other religion and become a Muslim said/claim same.

What's more delusional is someone who claims he doesn't believe in God in the least. But when he gets in trouble, he screams God consciously or unconsciously for help

Lol, I've replied this before you still brought it up, FYI it's not delusional but an "injury" a.k.a indoctrination a.k.a brainwash caused by parents and society, not everyone call on God during thier difficult times.

Steven Hawking never believed in any God and he never call on any God even when he suffered disability, infact he declared his stance God doesn't exist, no heaven nor afterlife.

Kindly stop using that fallacious statement as your argument, it's very weak.

If I may ask, is there a particular reason you disbelieve in Allah?

Alhajiemeritus:

he doesn't even believe in himself

He started by denying Jinn activities but still claimed he believed they exist. But now he dumps the beliefs in all of them altogether including Angels

Lol, so it's by default you're a Muslim and your fellow Humans are Christians, Jews, Hindu, Buddhists, Taoists etc worshiping different Gods? You must be joking, so it's by default Saudi Arabia is an Islamic country or India a Hindi state or Isreal a Jewish country?

Do you know what's by default when you're born? "Ignorance", ignorance gave birth to religions and Gods.

And as for gravity, I'm disappointed, so when you were taught physics you were not taught about law of gravity? How gravity can be measured, study, calculated? How it's part of natural phenomena? Abeg how can your God be measured?

You are doing him no good because by now, he's already knows what'sup.

Empiree:

Lol.
I know he doesn't believe in Allah but I didn't know he doesn't believe in angels also, that means he doesn't believe in qadar(good or bad), he doesn't believe in magic or juju also.
He believes in spontaneous generation.

Alhajiemeritus:

If I may ask, is there a particular reason you disbelieve in Allah?

Yes and not only Allah, all Gods. Many reasons.

ﻥَّ ﺍﻟَّﺬِﻳﻦَ ﺁﻣَﻨُﻮﺍ ﺛُﻢَّ ﻛَﻔَﺮُﻭﺍ ﺛُﻢَّ ﺁﻣَﻨُﻮﺍ ﺛُﻢَّ ﻛَﻔَﺮُﻭﺍ ﺛُﻢَّ ﺍﺯْﺩَﺍﺩُﻭﺍ ﻛُﻔْﺮًﺍ ﻟَّﻢْ ﻳَﻜُﻦِ ﺍﻟﻠَّﻪُ ﻟِﻴَﻐْﻔِﺮَ ﻟَﻬُﻢْ ﻭَﻟَﺎ ﻟِﻴَﻬْﺪِﻳَﻬُﻢْ ﺳَﺒِﻴﻠًﺎ ‏

Indeed, those who have believed then disbelieved, then believed, then disbelieved, and then increased in disbelief - never will Allah forgive them, nor will He guide them to a way.

Alhajiemeritus:

I believe there are natural phenomena that are yet to be explain not supernatural event like a man rode on flying horse or a sea splitted into two or seeing some imaginary wing fairies.

tintingz:

Can you pls tell me the first reason that came to your mind?

tintingz:

Natural phenomena like what?
When something happens that we can't explain, that's what we call super natural.

Empiree:

Why didn't you believe in Santa clause, vampire, fairies, leprechauns, werewolves, Elves etc? Why?

Lol, Flash back to the days of ignorance, Thunder was once seen as supernatural thing associated with Gods anger like Thor, Sango, Amadioha, Zeus etc fast forward today Science has been able to explain how thunder and lightning operate, infact we now know more than these Gods that they are abandoned by many people.

So oga because some natural phenomena cannot be explain now does not mean it won't be known in the future and it's doesn't mean they are supernatural(you can call them supernatural if that makes you believe in God).

Religious people work with "God of the gaps" and the moment the Gaps are closed they look for another silly thing to feed thier delusion.

Alhajiemeritus:
Can you pls tell me the first reason that came to your mind?

That there are many Gods out there and Allah is not the only God.

Alhajiemeritus:

If Allah has predestined everything why then Allah is angry at Satan and non believers?

If juju actually works how come Africa was colonized?

He has problems with Qadar. He only believes in "Flying Spaghetti". He said that his god

You missed road?. We aren't talking about different gods now. I was simply talking about believe in God and atheism. So all those people and countries you mentioned believe in Deities contrary to you. Whether they are right or wrong is another topic.

And as for gravity, I'm disappointed, so when you were taught physics you were not taught about law of gravity? How gravity can be measured, study, calculated? How it's part of natural phenomena? Abeg how can your God be measured?

God's manifestation can be "measured" in yourself. You believe in gravity but you dont believe in Him who created gravity. Gravity in itself is a creation. God can be measured by His Signs all around you.

Please how did you know he's been purnished? Did you teleport to heaven or your God showed you or you just read it from a mythical book? Kindly answer!

Only he can tell you what he is going through now. He claimed he didnt believe in God but he never thought about who has been taking souls of people and himself?. Thats a good lesson. Do you know Ali Banat?. You need to learn from him.

Now here is a video sent to me few days ago which featured Stephen Hawking. I only watched it once but didnt pay much attention. It is few minutes where a genius boy rebuked Hawking said "it takes more faith to believe that there's no God that it does to believe that there is God.

Allah is angry at nonbelievers and Satan because they heard and disobeyed.
This is what Predestination Kindly read:
There are 2 paths;one leads to the river and One leads to the farm.
At the end of the day; Allah knows what/where you will pass through, if you either go to the farm or river.
An end has been predistened.
Hence, Allah created free will; so as to choose which path you to follow;The path to the River or the Path to the Farm is left for only you to choose.
But whether you choose the path to the farm or the path to river, Allah knows what's at the end if either paths, but you do not know.
That is the simple analysis of predestination.


I do not understand how Juju will prevent Colonization.
What is Juju?
Juju is a practice by some certain people manipulating the physical laws of nature due to knowledge taught by Harut and Mahrut.
And being a good student of History, Colonization is not a one off process; It's a process of wooing and trying to infiltrate the ones you need to colonize;there are aiders and abetters amongst the local populace;it's not something that just happened.
Take this for example, pathogenic bacteria colonizes your body and cause a disease.
Does it mean your body does not have an immune system?
The body definitely has an immune system;but diseases are caused when pathogenic organisms overwhelm the body or find their way into otherwise sterile parts.
Same way Africa was colonized.

How do you think Lightning and thunder came to being.

All those people believe in Gods you don't believe in, you only believe in a God you were introduce to from young age, that was my point, you didn't believe in God by default you believed in your particular God through your parents and society.

If I'm to believe in any God then I must ask which God and why this God?

God's manifestation can be "measured" in yourself. You believe in gravity but you dont believe in Him who created gravity. Gravity in itself is a creation. God can be measured by His Signs all around you.

You see your flaws, if God can be measured then he's no different from what exist in this natural world, God then is part of our natural world which ofcos you will not accept God is part of this natural world.

And what signs around me are you talking about? God can be measured through natural disasters?

Only he can tell you what he is going through now. He claimed he didnt believe in God but he never thought about who has been taking souls of people and himself?. Thats a good lesson. Do you know Ali Banat?. You need to learn from him.

Oh yeah Grim reaper has been taking souls of people, oh Hades has been taking souls of people, you must be a real comedian for using "who has been taken souls of people" for your God existence.

Now here is a video sent to me few days ago which featured Stephen Hawking. I only watched it once but didnt pay much attention. It is few minutes where a genius boy rebuked Hawking said "it takes more faith to believe that there's no God that it does to believe that there is God.

This brilliant young chap is correcting Steven Hawking on what he studied all his life, I find this interesting, even though I'm not a physicist I can see flaws in what he claim, so since there is singularity in the beginning point of the universe therefore God or his God is before it that created gravity, let's assume he's right as new theories are welcome in science, I will like to know how he concluded God created gravity, there are other imaginary entity, phenomena, mysterious things to fill that gap but I'm interested in knowing how he knows it's God not an Alien.

I will like to know how gravity was created by his God who's claim to be outside space and time but interfere and he should answer who created this God.

Empiree:
Did they claim they "revealed Divine Books"?

So an entity must reveal a book to exist, so by your logic gods, angels and jinns exist because?
