Takeaways

• 😀 Once a person reaches adulthood, they are responsible for their own actions, including seeking the truth and choosing their faith.
• 😀 A person cannot excuse their wrongdoing by claiming their parents taught them to do so; everyone is accountable for their own choices once they mature.

• 😀 In remote tribes that were isolated from modern civilization, researchers found beliefs aligned with Islamic teachings, though they did not identify as Muslims.
• 😀 Allah has promised in the Quran (Surah 41:53) that He will show every human being the truth, even if the message is not conveyed through others.

• 😀 Life on Earth is a test, and the hereafter is where final judgment will be passed. No one will question Allah's justice at that time.
• 😀 Idol worship is considered the greatest sin in Islam, and once the truth is made clear to a person, they are responsible for accepting or rejecting it.
