Ignorant people from the beginning of evolution feared the unknown, they blamed so- called gods for the things that they could not explain. Over time more and more people fell for these fables and added to them. This is how religions were formed . Today it is big business, they make you believe when you die , you will continue on . People pay alot of money for that false sense of comfort. When you die , lights out , nothing.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him). While the message of the earlier messengers, including
Jesus was limited, prophet Muhammad's message and mission is universal and will remain so till
the end of this world. Belief in Islam means
Belief in One God
