Why Islam?

Below are the reasons why atheists should believe in God & choose Islam over other religions:

1) Becoming a theist is the first step toward choosing a religion. The Quran says neither the universe created itself nor did it come from nothing. God says-“Were they created by nothing, or were they themselves the creators? Or did they create the Heavens and the earth? Nay, but they are not sure that their belief is true” (Quran 52:35-36). It’s really interesting that the modern theory of a self-created universe that supposedly came into existence from nothing didn’t exist when the Quran was revealed. But the author of the Quran sensed that people would come up with such an absurd theory in future. But what I find more interesting is that the part where God says “...they (atheists) are not sure that their belief is true”. Modern atheists admit that they don’t know for sure how the universe came into existence. What atheists claim is that there is no need to bring a God into the scenario to explain how the universe came into existence. The author of the Quran was right about atheists 1,400 years ago and the author of the Quran is right about atheists today. Atheists 
are not sure that their belief is true. This statement made by the author of the Quran applies to both ancient and modern atheists.

2) Islam is the only monotheistic religion on earth. Polytheism doesn't make sense. God says-"Had there been within the heavens and earth gods besides God, they both would have been ruined (because they would fight each other). So exalted is God, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe" (Quran21:22). If we look into the polytheistic religions such as Hinduism & Greek Paganism, we see that their scriptures claim Gods are in constant battles with each other over the control of the universe. But we cannot see Gods fighting each other in real life. This proves there are not multiple Gods as polytheistic religions claim or we would have seen Gods fighting each other. This also proves the Quran that God must be one, NOT multiple.

3) A falsification test appears in the Quran. The author of the Quran challenges the disbelievers to prove their belief that the Quran is not from God. No other religious scripture on earth can stand the challenge of a falsification test except the Quran. God says-"Then do they not reflect upon the Quran? If it had been from [any] other than God, they would have found within it much contradiction" (Quran 4:82). God says-"And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a chapter the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than God, if you should be truthful" (Quran 2:23). Disbelievers failed to meet the challenge of the author of the Quran till today.

4) All religions say God is all-knowledgeable. If God is all-knowledgeable, then he can't give us misinformation. Modern science confirms the accurateness of many things described in the Quran. Quran is a 1400 year old book. Science was not well developed when the Quran was revealed. If the Quran was from human but not from God, then we would find countless errors in it.
