Hearty welcome to Benefits of Islam.com. Benefits of Islam.com is created and set on the world wide web (www world) for the benefits of mankind, to soothe the hearts of the people, to guide them to the path which they can feel and find as their own.

Mankind can be compared to a tree with full of leaves. The leaves that turn yellow and then vanish, they are proceeding towards the Eternal Life, as in the scheme of God Almighty. God Almighty planted the seed of humanity on the earth. You might have planted a sapling and seen it growing, at some time flowering and bearing fruits and seeds. You love your plant and you nourish it as required and guard it from evil forces. God Almighty Allah Created all of us and He also guards His Creatures and saves all of us -all as per His Scheme and Wish. When Almighty Allah wishes something to happen to somebody, that happens and nobody nor anything can interfere between Allah's Decision and the person (s) involved who are going to be affected by Allah's Decision. Say for example: an accident and consequent death (s) of person (s) involved in it. Allah reminds us in His Final Book -Holy Qur'an that what He intends or wishes and commands-must happen and there is none who can prevent it, change it or postpone or prepone it. For everything He has fixed a time and place etc as per His Grand plan and it must happen. The world and the Universe will end after Allah's Plan is fulfilled, runs its course as He planned for it, and He will end it on the day, time and year as per His Command, Will and Wish. It is however not year 2012 when the Mayan calendar or the Holly wood (Hollywood) movies or books, magazines, news papers may try to convey to us so. It is still far off from us. However it is at death all these dates are irrelevant to every one of us because at death it is the start of the beginning of new life after death or the first part and gateway of Eternal World and Eternal life of each and every human -man and woman, boy and girl, old and young, president and prime minister, military officer, general or a soldier etc

Almighty Allah, the Lord and God of all humans, genies, universe and all the forces therein and items has sent us directions and guidance via His Prophets and Messengers and Holy Books. If you go to any city, they have the maps and road signs to show you the way. God Almighty Allah did show us the signs in His Creation which all declare in cohesion (you know how people sing a song in chorus) that Allah Almighty ALONE is the Owner and Creator (God) of all things living and dead in the Universe or the Creation (however big it is). Take an example now: A Big Crane used for lifting materials can lift a 1000 tonne weight mass in a single lift which is not possible for any human being. But God Almighty Allah is All Powerful and Able to do all things and He does not need to hold the universe and it's contents. It's only the Divine Command : "Kun" (Be) and "Faya Kun" (it is). So the Creation or the Universe is existing and undergoing changes (natural actions like our hair greying and falling, the leaves taking shape and falling down some time later, a boy and a girl attaining puberty and marrying and carrying forward the progeny of mankind etc). Stars and other celestial items may also start greying and fall down or they may also become (start getting) bald and shed some of their external shape (s). Just like earth which is a planet is undergoing its daily changes below the earth crust (tremors, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions etc) and above it (either in atmosphere and over land, sea etc), similarly the stars and planets etc are not immune from changes that God Almighty has designed for them. The owner can modify his thing as he likes. For example if you are a owner of a sports car or simply a car, there is nothing preventing, if you are going for a make over or total redesigning and refurbishment of your classic vintage car. Similarly, Allah Almighty creates, designs and redesigns or modifies the things in the universe. All these are the part of Divine Scheme of God Almighty Allah and none can prevent Him anything. If Allah wanted to change someone's nose from flat to round, no problem. It would happen. Allah has power over all things. All these things are written to show that how meek and humble we should be before God Almighty Allah and how strong our allegiance, obedience, trust and faith in Him should be.

By accepting the truth and the actions taking place in the universe, you are confirming that Allah is there and He alone is Master and Director of all the Universal happenings, including the taking shape of human body changes, growth of hair, a man becoming bald, woman bearing a child, death of a person etc.

Benefits of Islam: Benefits of Islam are so many that we can keep counting them. But as you can see the difference between the words, fortunate and unfortunate which are two opposites of each other, the benefits of Islam could make a whole lot of difference for any person who struggles to achieve them. First of all he or she will know and understand by above examples and unlimited examples you can come across, that our life is created by God Almighty Allah and there is a purpose for it. All are servants of Allah belonging to single family of Adam - the First man and First Prophet of Allah, and his wife Hawwa (Eve or Eva)-peace be upon our fore parents. God created them in the Heaven for a purpose -that was to send them on the earth for a Divine Test in the Human life time to see how they will stick to Allah's guidance and commands-which are part of Islam since Islam was the Religion of God for all mankind since God created man and woman as told above. The flag bearers of Islam were about 124,000 Prophets who were sent on this earth, in different cities, countries and time or age of man's journey on this earth since Adam (peace be upon him). The Final Prophet of Allah, the God of all was Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who was born on this earth around 570 C.E. It is now more than 1400 years since he came on this earth.

God made Prophet Muhammad as the Leader of all of His Prophets and Messengers -peace be upon them all and also Genies and all other things on the Universe. The animals and genies used to meet and speak to him. They declared at different times of his life, that Prophet Muhammad was indeed the Prophet and Messenger of Almighty Allah because this was possible because God gave them this knowledge. All the animals, if they were to be having speaking power, would have declared that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), was the Prophet of Almighty God Allah. But the truth is that Allah wants to test us whether after seeing all the examples and signs on the earth and heavens and in ourselves, we declare Allah as the True God, and believe and obey Him or not? Would we believe in His Prophets and His Books? Would we read, understand and follow His Final Book Holy Qur'an which supersedes all previous Holy Books of Allah, as declared by Himself? For example in a quiz competition you are asked some questions and the declaration in the beginning is made to all contestants that the winners will get this and that, prizes, money etc. The answers to quiz questions are hidden from the contestants. The contestants can only be the well informed, learned persons selected after careful criteria by the organizers of the contest. The contestants can answer the questions only if they are well learnt, educated and informed persons with high intellectual capacity also, as the case of the competition may be.

But here on this earth, every body is the contestant as per the Scheme of Allah, the God of all mankind. We are given guidance by God Almighty Allah to lead us to the Heaven in the Eternal world (Ultimate success) and peaceful and successful life in this world also. Both these achievements are possible due to God's Mercy and Guidance and Adherence to His Religion Al Islam. People who think Islam is for destruction of others are not following the meaning and guidance of Allah. When Prophet Nooh (peace be upon him) prayed to Allah the people of his town be destroyed, who were causing great difficulties for him and challenging Allah's Mission of spreading Islam among the people. He had preached them Allah's Guidance of Islam for hundreds of years but to no avail (He lived for more than 950 years as the life span and body built up of our forefathers was quite high). But Allah commanded Prophet Nooh (pbuh),who lived in today's Iraq to make some earthen pots and after he did it, Allah commanded him to destroy it by his own hands. Prophet Nooh (pbuh) was taken back by this and asked Allah how could he do this damage to his hard work? Then Allah used this as an example of how important for Him were His Servants (humans) whom He Created and He (Almighty Allah) did not want to destroy people-unless there transgressed the limits set by Allah challenging His Authority and His Prophets on the earth and they were not going to benefit anymore from the guidance and message of God other than trying to trample upon and destroy the Message of God? So Prophet Nooh (pbuh) continued his mission among these people until the time for them came to be punished by God as they had proved against themselves how far (irreversibly) astray and revolting they had been against God and His Messenger.

Benefits of Islam as already informed above make you aware of Your True Creator, His Existance and Plan for all of us, the Aim and Final Goal of us if we adhered to Almighty God Allah's plan and Guidance, Al Islam which we find in His Final Book Al Qur'an and Holy Hadith. Hadith books are the books that contain the life style, events, sayings, commands, approvals of Prophet Muhammad -peace be upon him, as recorded by his companions or followers who used to be with him on any certain occasion which had been passed on to latter generations by careful evaluations for their authenticity and proper explanation by Hadith Scholars at different times in Islamic History. These Islamic Imams and Scholars fully spent their life spans researching and studying and propagating the Sunnah and Hadith of Final Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). May Allah bless them all for bringing us the life story and style of living of Final Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as per Divine Guidance. If there were no Hadith books, then people would have wondering where to go to get them. Luckily however we have it among us today as God promised mankind that He will preserve His Religion (which is in the Text of Islamic Books-Holy Qur'an and Hadith Books). We must thank Allah immensely for His Special favour for preserving His Guidance. How about your eye sight if it is preserved even when you are as old as 125 years? Don't you thank God Almighty Allah for His Gift and help to you??? Similarly you can see the relevant question of understanding the importance of preserving Holy Qur'an and Hadith texts for all of us to follow the light of God Almighty to be blessed by Almighty with success and peaceful life in this world and next world after death which is permanent one without facing Hell Fire. There are so many benefits of Islam, which will be known to you once you are ready for it. Keep exploring Islam (Holy Qur'an and Holy Hadith and Seerah or Life Story of Prophet Muhammad -The Man whom God Almighty Allah made Superior Leader of all men and women in this world and hereafter, peace be upon him). May Allah make us benefit from Islam, just like we benefit from our hands and feet and brain etc (given by Allah only) for our good-Aamen.
