Hi, you must be aware that people will give links on this site about people becoming Muslim.
Islam in its essence is something that started with people becoming Muslim.
The stories of non-Muslims becoming Muslim is one that contains information which actually explains the very essence of Islam. i.e. the reason people choose to become Muslim will give true reflection on what Islam is.
The main reason would be in order to worship Allah alone. Correct belief in the oneness of God.
Islam is often seen as something exotic and not at home in Europe or the US. However, Islam sees no bounds with regards to race or culture.
This world is a small place, and we are all the same flesh and bone wherever we may be.
The Prophet
said:
"Allah is not kind to him who is not kind to people." [Muslim & Bukhari]
THere is no reason for Muslims to attack or spend their time making fun of other Religions. Infact, to do so is going against what Allah has told us in the Quran.
(( And insult not those whom they (disbelievers) worship besides Allâh, lest they insult Allâh wrongfully without knowledge. Thus We have made fair­seeming to each people its own doings; then to their Lord is their return and He shall then inform them of all that they used to do.)) (Quran 6:108)
As for us questioning our religion, if that means doubting parts of the Quran, then of course we do not. The Quran is same as it was revealed by God through the Angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad
-
Instead, as Muslims we question those beliefs that do not have any basis in the Quran or in the Sunnah, which is the Prophet's Sayings and Actions, recorded in the Hadith. Islam is a perfect and complete way of life, revealed from God almighty.
There are some people who do wrong, and they may be Muslims, infact they may even do their wrong actions in the name of Islam. However, when we look at their actions in the light of the Quran, the Sunnah and what the early generation of Muslims said and did and their explanations, we see that they are wrong. - They are introducing new beliefs into Islam, perhaps extremism or they do something not in accordance to Islamic beliefs.
So in this way we critisise those people who introduce new beliefs into our beautiful religion.
The numbers mean nothing.
We have to stick to God's revealed words, the Quran and the Prophet's teachings the Sunnah, even if we are the only people left to do that.
And We have sent you (O Muhammad SAW) not but as a mercy for the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinns and all that exists). [21:107]
What we care about is that people are guided to True Islam. The greatest reward and gift that God can give someone is Islam. It will mean eternal bliss in paradise, paradise is not merely something that gives tangible happiness, the people of paradise will have no worries, no negative feelings. They will have happiness. More importantly they will have the feeling of tranquility that comes after knowing our Lord. For they will have the greatest gift of seeing their Lord, Allah, the Creator of all the universe. They shall praise him and prostrate to him in thankfulness. This is the gift that Allah gives to all mankind through Islam, by worshipping him alone, and it is something that all Muslims want to share with other people. To have that feeling of contentment in this world and the spiritual and physical contentment in the next life.
This website is not just to try and make people Muslim, our aim is for people to have an understanding of what Islam is and who Muslim people are. Today, there are many misconceptions and unfounded fears of our own neighbours. People must learn to understand and accept each other. Whether they are Muslim or non-Muslim, we all have a duty to be kind and respectful and perhaps to learn the good from each other.
We wish that non-Muslims are aware of Islam and do not fear Muslims. Likewise we educate Muslims about Islam and dispel anything that is not from Islam. Muslims must be good and kind to others too, its part of our beliefs to be respectful, kind, patient and considerate of our neighbours and all around us, whoever they may be and wherever they may be from.
The Prophet
said:
"Shall I not tell you whom the (Hell) Fire is forbidden to touch? It is forbidden to touch a man who is always accessible, having polite and tender nature.''
[At-Tirmidhii].
And also:
Abdullah ibn Abbas, the Prophet’s cousin, stated that he heard the Prophet saying:
“A believer is not the one who eats his fill when his neighbour is hungry.” [Related by Al-Bukhari in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad, Al-Hakim and Al-Baihaqi].
Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"The dearest and nearest among you to me on the Day of Resurrection will be one who is the best of you in manners; and the most abhorrent among you to me and the farthest of you from me will be the pompous, the garrulous, and Al-Mutafaihiqun.'' The Companions asked him: "O Messenger of Allah! We know about the pompous and the garrulous, but we do not know who Al-Mutafaihiqun are.'' He replied: "The arrogant people.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
The Prophet
also said:
"Those who are kind and considerate to Allah's creatures, Allah bestows His kindness and affection on them. Show kindness to the creatures on the earth so that Allah may be kind to you." [Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi]
Thank you.
