Peace be upon you, Muslims (Submitters) are required to observe religious duties and do righteous things to prove their faith to God. Faith alone does not guarantee redemption. We must worship our Lord to attain goodness in this world and in the next (15:99). Religious duties are also necessary to feed our souls (6:158, 10:90-92), the same way we feed our bodies with food and drink. Unfortunately, over the years the religious duties were corrupted by the addition of man-made rules and regulations; as such the religion of Islam was made too difficult for the people. This is in spite of the fact that God told us in the Quran that He does not want to make the religion difficult for us (5:6). As a believer in “True Islam,” the only book to uphold is the Holy Quran. The Quran is the only book we need, and following other than God’s revelations is a gross sin: Why do they not study the Quran carefully? If it were from other than God, they would have found in it numerous contradictions. (4:82) Shall I seek other than God as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed? Those who received the scripture recognize that your Lord revealed it, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt. masjidtucson.org/publications/books/sp/2002/sep/page1.html Peace.
