MY Reason why I came to this forum is I want somebody to explain to me unbiased why Islam would be the truth?

I have following concerns:
why does god must have a reason why he created man i mean we could also say for god there must be no reason why he created anything

second what is the absolute truth in islam
i know already that Muslim believe that the Quran has a Linguistic miracle that proves Islam but how do you explain this to a non Muslim who does not speak Arabic, beware I might already know the answer

third how is it that god has to open our hearts for Islam when it is we to have to search for it rationally

in short how can Islam be proven easily

Assalam warahmatullah e wa barakhatuhu,
In my opinion (we can't know about the intentions of Allah for the creation) but I think he created a men for worshipping and to show humility.because for worshipping angels are there and they worship better than men and a men can have choice but angels only follow his orders . I hope so that you knew about Adam (Peace be upon him) .
there is reason for everything like you posted it because you want to know the others point of view or want to debate.have you ever done anything without any reason?.if you have,maybe the reason was that you wanted to prove that anything can be done without any reason it's also a reason and there are reasons for those things who are the creation of almighty Allah. But maybe we don't know the answer we are creation and he is the creator. I don't think it must be proved that Islam is wrong the things which needs proof to be right are those who were proven wrong. Do you have any proof which claim about Islam is wrong?. Islam gives the right of men and women and it also guides in every field of life .it always talk about humanity and justice and not out of ethics.
You were a Muslim you already know that we believe nothing can be done without his permission or if he wants .so if any body search for the truth rationally but you have to use your mind your efforts which are given to you by him . If he wants anyone to search for the truth he will give a reason to that person.he will make you to think about it .can you do anything without his things that he had given to you like can you do search without your body and mind .he had given soul to you because of which you are alive and can think because he has given you health.if he doesn't want anyone to be converted in Islam also has a reason like you can see the Abu Jahl in the Islamic history.it is called he did not open his heart for Islam . because Abu jahl did know that Muhammad was not a lier he was truthfulness and still he didn't believe him.may be I am incorrect.

Jazak Allahu khairen

why does god must have a reason why he created man i mean we could also say for god there must be no reason why he created anything

The purpose of our existence and the reason for our being is to worship Allah alone:

"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me." (adh-Dhariyat: 56)

Allah is far above doing something for no reason or purpose. If we reflect upon the universe (proof and evidence) we will see that the One who created it all must possess infinite knowledge and infinite wisdom. It doesn't make sense that One with such wisdom would do anything for no reason. To do something for no reason is senseless and Allah is far above that.

second what is the absolute truth in islam

The absolute truth in Islam is La ilaha il Allah. If you mean what is the absolute proof in Islam, then I would say first make clear what Islam is: Islam (all of it) revolves around two main principles: 1) La ilaha il Allah 2) Muhammedur Rasoolulah

All of the Quran and Sunnah revolve around these two principles. Proving these two principles is proving Islam. The first one is very easy to prove: Allah's Wisdom, Knowledge, Power and Might is evident in all of creation. All of creation is a proof of these attributes of Allah. There simply is no other being real or imagined that possesses such attributes, therefore, these beings real or imagined do not deserve our worship but Allah does.

The second requires some knowledge but with a little knowledge is also easy to prove. The prophethood of Muhammed can be proven in a number of ways. The Quran not being imitable IS one way but there a many others. The strongest (in my opinion) or one of the strongest evidences for Muhammed being a Messenger of Allah is his noble character. If, for the sake of argument, we were to think that Muhammed was not a Messenger of Allah, then there are only 3 possibilities of what he could have been, none of which stands to reason:

1. He was deliberately lying: innumerable examples of his truthfulness both before and after his prophethood proves this notion false!
2. He was not sound of mind: His exceptional intelligence as a leader and statesmen proves this idea must itself be closer to insanity
3. He was being directed by a shaitan: All of his commands and prohibitions that brought about the best moral reforms proves that this is also false.

If you can think of a 4th possibility let me know.

An non-Arab can still appreciate the miracle of the Quran without knowing Arabic if he/she knows a little history. The Arabs were master poets and knew Arabic well. The Quran first challenged them to bring a Quran like it, they failed to do so, the Quran made the challenge easier: Bring ten surahs like it. No response. Fine, bring one surah like it. The still couldn't do that which proves that had the Quran been from other than Allah, and had been from Muhammed (Salalahu 'Alaihi wa Salaam) himself, then they could have easily produced the same as they were all masters of Arabic.

third how is it that god has to open our hearts for Islam when it is we to have to search for it rationally

The effort we put and how Allah Treats us is a continuous two-way relationship. If we reflect deeply, put forth the effort to find, figure out and follow the truth, then Allah Will open our hearts and Guide us. If we, ourselves, close our minds, ignore the truth and follow our blind desires, then He Will leave us astray and seal our hearts which is Justice from Him.

Admittedly, I am new to Islam myself, so I am not sure I know the answers, but I will try to use my knowledge of science.

According to science, humans evolved from lower animals. In my opinion, this can be the metaphorical journey of the prophet Mohammed. Mohammed's years of receiving messages from Gabriel to write the Koran is a representation of mankind's evolution from apes. That is, it was not a literal 23 years that Mohammed was receiving messages from Gabriel. It was symbolic of stages of evolution.

Have you tried praying to Allah? If so, you will probably find that your prayers will be answered. Life must have a meaning, so a god must have created it. It is not known what this meaning is, but if the universe exists, then Allah must have created it. There could not have been a universe without someone who created the universe. That's a logical fact.

Thank you for the explanation, Muhammed. As I said, I am still studying the basics.
