Questions & Answers

Q: How can anyone be sure that their religion is the true religion?

The true religion is the one that aligns with the message of God as conveyed through prophets and messengers. It requires critical thinking and verification of the evidence provided.

Q: Why didn't God make everyone believe the same thing?

God gave humans free will and the ability to choose. Forcing everyone to believe the same thing would negate the concept of free will and the accountability for one's choices.

Q: Can't God create a world in which everyone follows him?
