Re: The noexistence of evil in the worlds of God



Yassir:
Allah  says in surat Al-Imran, (Verse 19), what can be translated as,
"The deen before Allah (accepted by Allah) is Islam". He also says in
surat Al-Mae'dah,
(Verse 3), what can be translated as, "Today, I have completed your
deen,
and have completed my bliss upon you and accepted for you Islam as a
deen."

Yassir, you should also remember that Allah said the same for all the past religions before Islam. For example, Quran says:


And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of sayings and make His favor complete to you and to the children of Jacob, as He made it complete before to your fathers, Abraham and Isaac; surely your Lord is knowing, wise.
- Qur'an 12:6


Also Quran says:
Moreover, We gave Moses the Book, completing (Our favor) to those who would do right, and explaining all things in detail,- and a guide and a mercy, that they might believe in the meeting with their Lord.
- Qur'an 6:154


And there are other verses similar. How can Allah at any time create something that is not complete or not perfect?

He also says in surat Al-Imran, (Verse 85), what can be translated as,
"Whosoever
seeks, other than Islam, a deen, it will not be accepted from him and
he,
in the Hereafter, is among the losers."

Islam means submission to the Will of God. So the verse means Whosoever seeks, other than submission to Allah, a religion, it will not be accepted from him.
This translation of verse [3:85] is by the well known scholar ('Abdullah) Yusuf Ali. In his commentary on this verse (note: 418), Mr. Yusuf Ali writes:
"The Muslim position is clear. The Muslim does not claim to have a religion peculiar to himself. Islam is not a sect or an ethnic religion. In its view all Religion is one, for the Truth is one. It was the religion preached by all the earlier prophets. It was the truth taught by all the inspired Books. In essence it amounts to a consciousness of the Will and Plan of Allah and a joyful submission to that Will and Plan. If anyone wants a religion other than that, he is false to his own nature, as he is false to Allah's Will and Plan. Such a one cannot expect guidance, for he has deliberately renounced guidance."
Many verses in the Holy Qur'an explain the meaning of Islam as the one religion of God, revealed to all prophets. Islam is not Muhammdanism. It is the religion of submission to God, though it also is by name, the religion of Muslims.


Therfore as Bahai believe that Bahai Faith is Universal ,Muslims
Also believe the same because of the verses above.
Do you think a Muslim should embrasse Bahai Faith after
reading the above verses?

Yes, Muslims should believe in Baha'i Faith because it is the Islam for this age. At every age the religion brought up by His Manifestation is called Islam, in the past, and the future. It is the changeless Faith of God.
