From these six kinds of evidence, we conclude that: The Qur’an must be the literal word of God, revealed by Him. Muhammad is truly a prophet sent by God. Islam is truly a religion from God. If we would like to know if a religion is true or false, we should not depend on our emotions, feelings, or traditions. Rather, we should depend on our reason and intellect. When God sent the prophets, He supported them with miracles and evidence which proved that they were truly prophets sent by God and hence that the religion they came with is true.
