965. ISLAM THE RELIGION OF ALLAH

(إنَّ الدِّينَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الْإسْلامُ).1

"Indeed, with Allah the religion is Islam." 2

(وَمَنْ يَبْتَغِ غَيرَ الْإِسْلامِ دِيْناً فَلَنْ يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الخاسِرِينَ).3

"Should anyone follow a religion other than Islam, it shall never be accepted from him, and he will be among the losers in the Hereafter." 4

3072.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : الإسلامُ يَعلُو ولا يُعلى‏ علَيهِ .5

3072.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Islam excels and cannot be surpassed by anything else.' 6

3073.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : مَن أحسَنَ في الإسلامِ لَم يُؤاخَذْ بما عَمِلَ في الجاهليَّةِ ، ومَن أساءَ في الإسلامِ اُخِذَ بِالأوَّلِ والآخِرِ .7

3073.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'He who performs good acts after having embraced Islam will not be punished for anything that he did in his pre-Islamic state, whilst he who continues to commit bad after having embraced Islam will be taken to account for everything from beginning to end.' 8

3074.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : لا شَرَفَ أعلى‏ مِنَ الإسلامِ .9

3074.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'There is no distinction higher than Islam.' 10

3075.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : إنّ هذا الإسلامَ دِينُ اللَّهِ الذي اصطَفاهُ لِنفسِهِ ، واصطَنَعَهُ على‏ عَينِهِ ، وأصفاهُ خِيَرَةَ خَلقِهِ ، وأقامَ دَعائمَهُ على‏ مَحَبَّتِهِ ، أذَلَّ الأديانَ بِعِزَّتِهِ ، ووَضَعَ المِلَلَ بِرَفعِهِ .11

3075.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Verily this Islam is the religion of Allah, which He has chosen for Himself, which He has developed before His eyes, which He has preferred for the best of all His creatures, and whose pillars he has founded upon His love. He has abased other religions by honouring it and humiliated other creeds before its sublimity.' 12

3076.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام - في وَصفِ الإسلامِ - : فهُو أبلَجُ المَناهِجِ ، وأوضَحُ (واضِحُ) الوَلائجِ ، مُشرِفُ المَنارِ ، مُشرِقُ الجَوادِّ ، مُضِي‏ءُ المَصابِيحِ .13

3076. Imam Ali (AS), in his description of Islam, said, 'It is the brightest of all paths, the clearest of all passages, with towering minarets, brightly lit highways and illuminating lamps.' 14
