!Muslim
What would you call a religion whose beliefs, practices and
followers are being bashed and bad-mouthed in practically
every sphere of activity, in almost every corner of the globe,
?yet it attracts ever-increasing numbers of people
The fact that more and more people are finding their way to
Islaam, notwithstanding the relentless propaganda, deliberate
misinformation and outright prejudice against it, never ceases
.to amaze me
This is the reason why people who adopt Islaam are said to
revert instead of convert, because they are going back to their
original nature -- the one they were naturally created with --
which is automatically aligned with the Universe, its Creator
and His Laws; as opposed to simply exchanging one set of
.beliefs for another
Islaamic Monotheism
The Christian sect of Athanasians insistently inculcates the“
tenet that Christianity is based on a belief in three gods
(Trinity), that a slightest doubt as to this belief will lead one to
immediate perdition; and that a person who wishes to attain
salvation in this world and the next should definitely hold a
belief in the three gods: God, the Son of God, and the Holy
.Ghost
:Universality
Islam is a religion that belongs not only to the Arabs but to the
entire humanity. This universal quality presents a sharp
contrast with the Judaic religion, whose holy book always
.refers to the God of Israel
During the past eleven days here in the Muslim world, I have
eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass, and
slept on the same rug - while praying to the same God - with
fellow Muslims, whose eyes were the bluest of blue, whose
hair was the blondest of blond, and whose skin was the whitest
of white. And in the words and in the deeds of the white
Muslims, I felt the same sincerity that I felt among the black
African Muslims of Nigeria, Sudan and Ghana. We were truly
all the same (brothers) - because their belief in one God had
removed the white from their minds, the white from their
.behavior, and the white from their attitude
:Purity of prayer
If I were asked what impressed me most in the religion of
Islam, I would probably say the prayers, because prayers in
Christianity are used wholly in begging God (through Jesus
Christ) to grant worldly favours, whereas in Islam they ar used
to give praise and thanks to Almighty God for all His
blessings since He knows what is necessary for our welfare
.and grants us what we need without our asking it
As created beings who can neither grant life nor ward off
death, we owe it to ourselves and The One Who Created Us to
discover the Truth, to follow it and to facilitate others to do
.the same
