What can he do, how is he to do it and what methodology should he take in doing this task? What is the Shari`a? How to bring the Shari`a about and how to support the Shari`a in our own lives and what type of people can support the struggle is an important question that needs a decisive answer. All of these things this book ventures to answer. This book is not just for the Muslim though. Within it the non-Muslim will find answers to such crucial questions as; Is there a God?

Where is the sense of honour of the Muslims? The pride of the Believers? The zeal of the Faithful? We shall never cease to be amazed at how the disbelievers for their part have shown trusts, and it is the Muslims who have been lacking in zeal. Not one of them has responded to the call. Not one intervenes to straighten what is distorted,- but observe howfar the Franks have gone. What unity they have achieved. What aims they pursue.

This is a small treatise that I wrote for those who are pining for Jihad and who hope for martyrdom in its way. The book is in two parts: Part 1: Reasons for Jihad Part 2: O' Islam! I have concluded with a synopsis and observations.

ZAKIR NAIK MUSLIMS ARE FUNDAMENTALISTS AND TERRORISTS Question: Why are most of the Muslims fundamentalists and terrorists? Answer: This question is often hurled at Muslims, either directly or indirectly, during any discussion on religion or world affairs. Muslim stereotypes are perpetuated in every form of the media accompanied by gross misinformation about Islam and Muslims. In fact, such misinformation and false propaganda often leads to discrimination and acts of violence against Muslims. A case in point is the anti-Muslim Thu, 14 Jun 2007 00:47:05 GMT http://www.scribd.com/doc/102388/Islam-and-Terrorism-by-Dr-Zakir-Naik http://www.scribd.com/doc/102383/The-Quran-on-Human-Embryonic-Development The Quran on Human Embryonic Development In the Holy Quran, God speaks about the stages of man's embryonic development: "We created man from an extract of clay. Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an alaqah (leech, suspended thing, and blood clot), then We made the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed substance)..." (Quran 23:12-14) Literally, the Arabic word alaqah has three meanings: (1) leech, (2) suspended thing, and (3) blood clot. In comparing a leech to an embryo in the alaqah stage, we find similarity between the t Thu, 14 Jun 2007 00:33:43 GMT http://www.scribd.com/doc/102383/The-Quran-on-Human-Embryonic-Development http://www.scribd.com/doc/102382/How-to-Convert-to-Islam-and-Become-a-Muslim  The word "Muslim" means one who submits to the will of God, regardless of their race, nationality or ethnic background. Becoming a Muslim is a simple and easy process that requires no pre-requisites. One may convert alone in privacy, or he/she may do so in the presence of others. If anyone has a real desire to be a Muslim and has full conviction and strong belief that Islam is the true religion of God, then, all one needs to do is pronounce the "Shahada", the testimony of faith, without further delay. The "Shahada" is the first and most important of the five pillars of Islam.

The modern democracies claim that the world is indebted to them for establishing the right to freedom, to equality and to the other rights that ensued. These countries took the credit for introducing human rights ; and England known for its inherited traditions, took the credit, whereas France claimed that human rights were the outcome of the French Revolution.

Let us hold the thousand" prophecies in abeyance for a moment and examine the only unequivocal claim made by Jesus in the Gospels and examine whether he fulfilled his promise to the Jews.

In his book he gives the names of the 100 "Most Influential Men in History" and his reasons for their positions in his list.

Mr. Frank Morison, a prominent Bible scholar, tried to nail down this ghost(s) in a book bearing the same title as this tract. Between 1930 and 1975 his book has gone through ELEVEN editions.

Deciding on Jihad Making up one's mind to start fighting is a real decision. It requires the resolve to respond to the appeal of jihad when the voice calls out,"O cavalry of Allah, ride!" A person must prepare himself mentally and ready his soul for fighting and bearing arms when his brothers call upon him, following the saying of the Prophet (SAW) as cited in Al-Bukhari: "If you are called upon, ride out."
