"…give good news to my servants. Who listen to the word and follow the best of it. They are the ones whom God has guided, and it is they who possess intellect. ". (The Qur‘an, 39:17, 18)

No dogma supports the Islamic faith. On the contrary, Muslims regard rational conviction as the basis for intellectual acceptance.
The world‘s most prominent prophets, including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus (Peace and Blessings Upon them All) as well as Muhammad (PBD), from the beginning of time, have preached the same..

Each individual is responsible for his own beliefs, based on his intellectual awareness of the principles that sustain them, independently of the faith of his family or society.
