The Concept of Religion

       Dictionary meaning of religion: Customs, punishment and reward, reward, obedience, reckoning, submission, dominance and victory, reign and property, decree and edict, acceptable worship, nation, sharia. The literal meaning of religion: Religion is a divine law that leads rational people to things that are personally beneficial by their own choices. The religious descriptions of Islamic scholars are those made by taking into account the true religion. In these depictions, it is emphasized that religion is of divine origin. According to this, true religion cannot be of human origin. Again in these depictions, attention is drawn to the relationship of religion with reason and will. (İlmihal-I, Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı)
