The following are some interesting aspects about the immortality , authority and compleness of the message.

- (historical authenticiy) our scriptures have very high level of authenticity and verification process.

- (completeness and soundness) it answers convincingly all the important questions about humans, life, and death. This includes:

• (purpose) why we are created ?
• (origin) what is our creation story?
• (history) What is our past ? what about previous nations ?
• (endgoal) what happens after Death ?

- (ubtiquoness) its message is universal and timeless. the religion doesnot change. it renews itself over centuries. it is a continuation of previous books and messages.

- (high dimensional knowledge) it tells us with authoritative definitive language about the unseen and connects it with rightousness. This includes the future and the unpreserved past.

​

the following are a glimpse of the benefits we get from following Islam:

- (Elevating the mind) Islam asks us to use our mind and senses to ponder and think about the universe, the earth and our own selves. To figure out its truth and how it all connects to one God. Islam shames those who paralyze their senses.

- (soul nourishment) Allah blesses us with happiness that is far above materialism when we obey his commands even when the body might be physically struggling.

- (self purification) it preaches highest level of morality, righteousness and self purification

- (boundless mercy) it always leaves away for us for forgiveness and repentance

- (happy soceity) Islam encourages group responsibilty (charity, enjoining good, sacrifice, brotherhood) and resolves the main issues that cause conflict in the soceity (Wealth distribution, punishment laws, marriage, racism, etc.) and therefore pushes for a realistic Utopia.
