What is the Nature of Ultimate Reality?
Allah is the ultimate reality according to Islam. It has been made clear time and again in Quran and the related Hadiths that there is only one God and the submission or subservience to Allah's word is the nature of this ultimate reality.
What is the nature of material reality?
From a Muslim worldview, the material reality lies with the statements in Quoran that state that the universe was created by Allah and all the creatures in it are responsible (or) accountable to him.
What is a human being?
According to the Quran, a human being is the highest form of God's creation. This makes humans, the creatures of God to be most submissive to Allah. It is important that humans follow the word of Allah and live up to the standards set by God.
What happens to a person at death?
From a Muslim worldview, upon death, there is a judgment by Allah that decides whether or not a person goes to paradise or burns in hell for eternity. Depending upon the deeds & the intention behind the deeds, the judgment is carried out.
Why is it possible to know anything at all?
According to Islam, it is possible to know anything in this world, because the Quran states that Allah has given a man the ability to learn things about the world around. Humans should make use of this ability given by Allah in order to learn about anything.
How do we know what is right and wrong?
The Muslim worldview to differentiate between right and wrong exists on the basis of what is written in the Quran, the Sunnah and in general, the consensus among Muslims on various matters. If there is a conflict, it is in general discussed with religious leaders and then acted upon.
What is the meaning of human history?
According to Islam, Allah is beyond history. History as such does not have an end and is ongoing. All things that have taken place have been determined by humans but guided by Allah. The concept of chosen people and control by God is seen throughout the verses in Quran on History.
