Views of the Reverts in brief about Islam Moderation and temperance are keynote of Islam The simplicity of Islam, the powerful appeal and compelling atmosphere of its mosques, the earnestness of its faithful adherents, the confidence inspiring realization of the millions throughout the world who answer the five daily calls to prayer - these factors attracted me from the first.
The broad-minded tolerance of Islam for other religions recommends it to all lovers of liberty. Muhammad admonished his followers to treat well the believers in the Old and New Testament; and Abraham, Moses, Jesus are acknowledged as co-Prophets of the One God. Surely this is generous and far in advance of the attitude of other religions.
Moderation and temperance in all things, keynote of Islam, won my unqualified approbation.
Col. Donald S. Rockwell U.S.
Islam alone can satisfy the needs of every member of the human family Christianity must go the way of all things, and henceforth perish and forever to make room for the True Religion God to mankind, and that is Islam, which is Truth, sincerity, toleration, looking to the interests of man and pointing him to the Right Way. Islam alone can satisfy the needs of every member of the human family, and Muslims are the only people among whom can be found the "True Book of Brotherhood" in reality and not mere "make-belief" as in Christianity.
Sir Jalaluddin Lauder Brunton England
Islam alone offers the solution of present-day problems To the Western mind, the chief appeal of Islam must be its simplicity. Admittedly, there are one or two other faiths which are as easy of approach but they sadly lack the vitality of the Faith of the Prophet (may Allah bless him), and the spiritual and moral elevation which it offers.
Islam must also appeal by virtue of its tolerance... Strangely Christian intolerance awakened my first interest in Islam.
The Churches are utterly incapable of grappling with present-day problems. Islam alone, offers the solution.
John Fisher Newcastle
Islam has always attracted me both by its simplicity and by the devotion of its followers Since adopting Islam as my faith I feel that I have come to a turning point in my life, and to account for this, to give you some idea as to why I have become a Muslim. I have subjected myself to what I might call a self-psychological analysis.
Islam had always attracted me both by its simplicity and by the devotion of its followers ... I was taught to regard all religions other than Christianity as blasphemous and their adherents as heathens.
Islam has given me a very practical method of breaking down the barrier of materialism in one of the Five Pillars of Faith, namely `Prayer.' The Muslim prayer keeps me constantly aware of my duty to Allah, to my soul, and to my fellow creatures.
Khalid D'Larnger Remraf
The purity and simplicity of the Islamic Faith and its obvious Truth made a special appeal to me! The purity and simplicity of the Islamic Faith, its freedom from ***ma and sacredotalism and its obvious Truth made a special appeal to me. The honesty and sincerity of the Muslims, too, are greater than anything I have seen in Christians.
Another beauty of Islam is its equality. It is only Islam that has real equality maintained between man and man and no other religion has anything like it. The Faith of Islam generates unity.
The Deen of Islam is also the cleanest religion in the world because Muslims have to wash the exposed parts of the body five times a day, a practice not found in any other religion of the world.
A. W.L. Van Kuylenburg (Known as M.A. Rahman)
In Islam I have found the true Faith for which I had been seeking so long I devoted a considerable amount of my spare time to a thorough study of an English translation of the Holy Qur'an, and as I read over and over again, certain of the words of the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah exalt his mention), I could not help but see that here, at last, in Islam I had found the true faith for which I had been seeking so long.
I would like to say that I feel confident, that if only people in this and other Western countries can be brought to appreciate the full meaning of Islam, and what it stands for, the ranks of Islam will be daily swelled, only unfortunately there is a vast amount of misapprehension in the minds of many 'Free Thinkers' and others who still cling to their old creed simply because they require the moral courage to abandon a faith, with the principles of which they are, at variance, and to embrace Islam.
Walker H. Williams
I have accepted Islam because it fits in so well with my own ideas A man becomes a truer Christian or a Jew by way of Islam, than by any way advo***ed by the Christian or Jewish people to-day.
In Islam, there is tolerance and an acknowledgement of universal brotherhood. So, I may say, that I have accepted Islam because it fits in so well with my own ideas about Allah and His beautiful plan. It is the only Faith I really can understand. Indeed, such is its simplicity and beauty that even a little child can understand it.
Amina Le Fleming
Islam is the religion I have been seeking for Islam is the religion I have been seeking for since my school days. My mind was dissatisfied all along with the Christian teachings till I was old enough to have independence of thought to shake them off. I came in touch with the true religion of Islam. I became interested in Islam, whose keynote is simplicity - for instance, belief in the Unity (Unity is not the proper word to use, instead the word 'Oneness' describes Monotheism in real sense - Editor) of Allah. This is why it appeals to me.
The religion of Islam has given me peace and happiness such as I never had before.

If Britain and Europe were converted to Islam, they would again be powerful forces for good There is no version of Christianity which is really satisfactory. Christians believe that because of the fall of Adam and Eve, all human beings are born in a state of original, sin, and are unable by their own actions to merit Heaven. Muslims, however, do not believe that people are punished for the sin of Adam and Eve. They believe that all human beings are born of innocence, and can only lose their hope of Heaven by their own sins when they are old enough to be guilty of deliberate wrong-doing.
If Britain and Europe were converted to Islam, they would again be powerful forces for good. British and European Muslims are some of the best.

THE TRUTH Posted On 18/12/2007 00:10:51 by abdurrasalam
I SEEK REFUGE IN ALLAH FROM THE OUTCAST SATAN,
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE MOST COMPASSIONATE MOST MERCIFUL,
ALL PRAISES BE TO ALLAH LORD OF THE MAGNIFICIENT THRONE, TO HIM BELONGS THE DOMINION OF THE HEAVENS AND EARTH, HE IS THE MOST HIGH THE MOST GREAT....
DEAR MY REPECTED READER, I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE SOME THOUGHTS WITH YOU TO PONDER UPON. YOU HAVE STATED THAT MUHAMMAD PEACE AND BLESSINGS BE UPON HIM IS A FALSE PROPHET, AND THAT ISLAM DOES NO TOLERATE OTHER RELIGIONS..WELL LET US CLARIFY THE DIFFERENCES...
LET'S SEE WHAT ALLAH STATES IN QUR'AN REGARDING THE FORMER GENERATIONS OF THOSE WHO SUBMITTED IN FAITH..
1.AND IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS WE SENT JESUS THE SON OF MARY, (PEACE BE UPON HIM), CONFIRMING THE LAW THAT HAD COME BEFORE HIM; WE SENT HIM THE GOSPEL; THEREIN WAS GUIDACNE AND LIGHT, AND CONFIRMATION OF THE LAW THAT HAD COME BEFORE HIM, A GUIDANCE AND AN ADMONITION TO THOSE WHO FEAR ALLAH. SURA MA'IDA 5 VERSE 49.
2.THIS IS A BOOK WHICH WE HAVE REVEALED, BRINGING BLESSINGS AND CONFIRMING (THE REVELATIONS) WHICH CAME BEFORE IT. SURA AN'AM 6 VERSE 92.
3. WE DID BESTOW ON SOME PROPHETS MORE (AND OTHER) GIFTS THAN ON OTHERS; AND WE GAVE TO DAVID (THE GIFT OF) THE PSALMS. SURA BANI ISRA-IL 17 VERSE 55.
4. BEFORE THIS WAS THE BOOK OF MOSES AS A GUIDE AND A MERCY; AND THIS BOOK (QUR'AN) CONFIRMS (IT) IN THE ARABIC; TO ADMONISH THE UNJUST, AND AS GLAD TIDINGS TO THOW WHO DO RIGHT. SURA AHQAF 46 VERSE 12.
NOW LETS SEE WHAT JESUS SAYS IN THE BIBLE(BIBLE MEANS A COLLECTION OF BOOKS) DO NOT THINK THAT I HAVE COME TO DO AWAY WITH THE LAW OF MOSES AND THE TEACHINGS OF THE PROPHETS I HAVE NOT COME TO DO AWAY WITH THEM, BUT TO MAKE THEIR TEACHINGS COME TRUE. MATTHEW 5 VERSE 17.
REMEMBER THAT AS LONG AS HEAVEN AND EARTH LAST; NOT THE LEAST POINT NOR THE SMALLEST DETAIL OF THE LAW WILL BE DONE AWAY WITH- NOT UNTIL THE END OF ALL THINGS (NOT UNTIL ALL ITS TEACHINGS COME TRUE.) MATTHEW 5 VERSE 18.
NOW IT ALSO STATES IN QUR'AN "AND THIS QUR'AN IS NOT SUCH AS COULD EVER BE PRODUCED BY OTHER THAN ALLAH (LORD OF THE HEAVENS AND EARTH), BUT IT IS A CONFIRMATION OF(THE REVELATION) WHICH WAS BEFORE IT (THE TORAH AND THE GOSPEL ETC) AND A FULL EXPLANATION OF THE BOOK (LAWS AND ORDERS, ETC., DECREED FOR MANKIND)-WHEREIN THERE IS NO DOUBT FROM THE LORD OF THE ALAMIN (MANKIND AND JINNS AND ALL THAT EXISTS. SURA 10 VERSE 37.
AS FAR AS MUHAMMAD (PEACE AND BLESSINGS BE UPON ME) NOT BEING MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE THAT IS A STATEMENT OF FALSEHOOD ITSELF...
HE IS DESCRIBED IN THE TORAH AS FOLLOWS "O PROPHET! WE HAVE SENT YOU AS A WITNESS (FOR ALLAH'S TRUE RELIGION). AND A GIVER OF GLAD TIDINGS (TO THE FAITHFUL BELIEVERS). AND A WARNER (TO THE DISBELIEVERS), AND A GUARDIAN OF THE ILLITERATES. YOU ARE MY SLAVE AND MY MESSENGER I HAVE NAMED YOU AL-MUTAWAKKIL (WHO DEPENDS UPON ALLAH). YOU ARE NEITHER DISCOURTEOUS, HARSH NOR A NOISE-MAKER IN THE MARKETS, AND YOU DO NOT DO EVIL TO THOSE WHO DO EVIL TO YOU, BUT YOU DEAL WITH THEM WITH FORGIVENESS AND KINDNESS. ALLAH WILL NOT LET HIM (THE PROPHET) DIE TILL HE MAKES STRAIGHT THE CROOKED PEOPLE BY MAKING THEM SAY: LA ILAHA ILLALLAH (NONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE WORSHIPPED BUT ALLAH), BY WHICH BLIND EYES, DEAF EARS, AND CLOSED HEARTS' WILL BE OPENED........
"SAY: TELL ME! IF THIS QUR'AN IS FROM ALLAH AND YOU DENY IT, AND A WITNESS FROM AMONG THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL (ABDULLAH BIN SALAM) TESTIFIES THAT THIS QUR'AN IS FROM ALLAH LIKE [THE TAURAT(TORAH)], AND HE BELIEVED (EMBRACED ISLAM) WHILE YOU ARE TO PROUD (TO BELIEVE). VERILY, ALLAH GUIDES NOT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ZALIMUN(POLYTHEIST, DISBELIEVERS AND WRONG DOERS0.. SURA AL-AHQAF 46:10...
AS FAR AS MUHAMMAD IN THE BIBLE: JOHN 16 VERSES 5-13.....
NOW AS FAR AS RELIGIONS IN ARABIA, THERE IS ONLY ONE RELIGION WITH GOD(ALLAH). MUSLIMS DON'T HATE JEWS CHIRISTIANS SABIANS BUDDHIST HINDUISM ETC...NONE OF THEM, AT THE TIME OF THE PROPHET THERE WERE OTHER RELIGIONS IN ARABIA AND THEY HAD TO PAY THE TAX FOR LIVING IN THE ISLAMIC STATE, THEY WERE PROTECTED BY THE MUSLIMS THEY WERE TREATED WITH RESPECT.....
FAR AS SUICIDE IS ISLAM. IT IS FORBIDDEN TO KILL YOURSELF.... YOU CANNOT HARM INNOCENT PEOPLE, WOMEN, CHILDREN, CUT DOWN TREES, POLLUTE THE WATER, BLOW UP SYNAGOGUES CHURCHES MASJIDS ETC. IN THE STATE OF WAFARE. CAN'T EVEN HARM THE FARMER WHO IS FARMING THE LAND. FIGHT THOSE WHO FIGHT YOU........ISLAM IS COMPLETE AND THE DEEN IS MISUNDERTOOD. PEOPLE LOOK AT IT STRANGLEY, SO IT STARTED OUT STRANGE AND IN THE END IT WILL ALSO BE STRANGE SO GIVE GLAD TIDINGS TO THE STRANGERS....
NOW I DON'T KNOW ABOUT MUSLIM PERSECUTING CHRISTIANS IN MUSLIM COUNTRIES SO SAME GOES VICE VERSA....MUSLIMS ARE PERSECUTED IN KOSAVO, CHENCHNIYA, IRAQ, AFRICA INDONESIA ETC......IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A STRUGGLE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL... ANY INJUSTICE ON EARTH THE TRUE MUSLIM DOES NOT ACCEPT AND AS FAR AS PEOPLE NOT EMBRACING ISLAM FOR YOU IS YOUR WAY AND FOR ME IN MY WAY....BUT INDEED THE TRUTH IS TRUTH JUST LIKE NIGHT IS NIGHT AND DAY IS DAY. MAY ALLAH SHOW YOU THE REALITY OF HIS GREATNESS....I MYSELF WAS NOT BORN MUSLIM I AM A CONVERT, I SEEN LIFE WITHOUT ISLAM AND NOW I KNOW LIFE WITH IT........AND TRUST ME ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION BASED ON NEGLECT....READ AND YOU SHALL PROSPER.......AND IF I HAVE SAID ANYTHING THAT OFFENDED YOU FORGIVE ME, ONE QUESTION I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO RESEARCH. WHEN DID THEY DISCOVER THE BARRIER BETWEEN THE SALT WATER AND THE FRESH WATER? THEN LOOK IN SURA RAHMAN 55 VERSES 19 AND 20.....SUBHANALLAHI WA BI HAMDIHI SUBHANAKA WA BI HAMDIKA ASHADU ANLA ILAHA ILLALLAH ANTA ASTAGHFIRUKA WA ATUBU ILAIK....RASHEED
AUDHU BILLAHI MINASH-SHAYTAINIR RAJEEM, BISMILLAHIR RAHMANIR RAHEEM, ALHAMDULILLAHIR RABBIL ALAMIN AR-RAHMANIR-RAHEEM MALIKI YAUMID-DEEN ALL PRAISES BE TO ALLAH LORD OF THE WORLDS THE MOST BENEFICIAL MOST MERCIFUL MASTER OF THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT..
DEAR REPSECTED READER,
YOU HAVE STATED THINGS ACCORDING TO YOUR OWN AUTHORITY, I HAVE ASKED YOU TO SHOW ME PROOF REGARDING THE BARRIER BETWEEN THE TWO SEAS AND YOU HAVE NOT RESPONDED....
AS FAR AS JESUS WHO REAL NAME IS ISA THE SON OF MARY, WHAT WAS THE SON OF MARY ETHNICITY, HE SAYS HE WAS SENT TO THE LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL...ARE YOU A LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL. JESUS WAS NO MORE THAN A MAN. HE WAS THE WORD OF GOD. CREATED JUST LIKE ADAM WITH THE WORDS BE AND HE WAS......IN FACT THE JEWS LAUGH AT CHRISTIANS FOR SAYING HE WAS CRUCIFIED.
IN THEIR SCRIPTURES THEY SAY CURSE IS THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN CRUCIFIED. SO IF JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED HOW CAN HE HAVE BEEN THE SAVIOR.? I SUGGEEST YOU GO AND READ THE GOSPEL OF BARBABUS WHO WAS A DISCIPLE OF JESUS......MARK LUKE JOHN ETC HAVE NEVER SEEN JESUS, IN FACT GO READ YOUR HISTORY...DO YOU CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS?. IF SO WHY, DO YOU KNOW THATS' A PAGAN HOLIDAY INTRODUCED INTO CHRISTIANITY FROM THE CATHOLIC CHURCH....
THE PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT CHRISTMAS GO GOOGLE IT....MUSLIMS KNOW THAT THE WORLD IS GONNA END, IN FACT WE ARE LIVING THE LAST DAYS RIGHT NOW, GETTING CLOSER TO JUDGEMENT, WE DON'T DISPUTE THAT! SO I BEQUEST YOU TO GO AND EXPLORE THESE OPEN DOORS AND LET ME KNOW THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE FOUND REGARDING THE TRUTH ABOUT THESE MATTERS. MAY ALLAH GUIDE YOU TO REALITY.....
