He Who Perfects
Today the unbelievers have despaired of overcoming your
religion. So do not be afraid of them, but be afraid of Me.
Today I have perfected your religion for you and completed
My blessing upon you, and I am pleased with Islam as a reli-
gion for you. But if anyone is forced by hunger, not intending
any wrongdoing, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
(Surat al-Ma’ida, 5:3)

Allah created humanity and, as “Does He Who created not
then know? He is the All-Pervading, the All-Aware” (Surat al-
Mulk, 67:14) emphasizes, He knows best what we need. Allah pre-
sented the religion in the form that best conforms to our nature so
that all of us could know and serve Him, and thereby attain eternal
happiness and salvation. Our Lord, the All-Wise, is pleased with
Islam. No doubt, only Allah perfects the religion and uses it, in turn,
to perfect His servants.
