ISLAM: THE RIGHT WAY! For a corrupt society, Islam is the solution.

 

Islam:

The Right Way!

For a society plagued by

social, economic, political

and religious evils,

Islam Is The Solution

(M. Javed Naseem)

“It is He Who has sent His Messenger with

guidance and the religion of Truth, to

proclaim it over all religions even.

though the pagans may detest (it).”

(al-Quran 9:33)

Islam is a ‘Deen’ (system or way of life) and to call it simply a religion does not do any justice with it. There is no doubt that religion, as we know it, is a part of it, not the whole of it. ‘Deen’ is a lot more comprehensive term than ‘religion’. Islam was prescribed by the Creator for the entire mankind. It was introduced through a Book which was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) in parts over many years.

Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) and his followers lived in accordance with the laws and instructions contained in that Book, hence they became great role-models for the generations to come. That Book (al-Quran) is the Word of God and God tells us that it contains guidance and mercy for mankind. And a billion-head strong community of Muslims on this earth is a proof of it.

Despite the all-out efforts and big plans by the forces of evil to eliminate Islam (or Muslims), Islam is spreading leaps and bounds, because Allah is the Best of Planners. In the war between Good and Evil, Good will enjoy the victory. In the clash between the Truth and Falsehood, the Truth is going to prevail and Falsehood will vanish.

The Divine Message keeps attracting people from all walks of life and from all regions of the globe. It has a universal appeal. Here are some impressions from the famous personalities who converted to Islam.

Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens):

(Musician/Singer)

“I did not come into contact with any Muslim before I embraced Islam. I read the Quran first and realized no person is perfect, Islam is perfect; and if we imitate the conduct of the Holy Prophet... we will be successful.”

“It is part of my faith as a Muslim to try to help those who are suffering from poverty or economic or political injustice.”

Ali Selman Benoist:

(Doctor of Medicine, France)

"The essential and definite element of my conversion to Islam was the Quran. I began to study it before my conversion with the critical spirit of a Western intellectual .… There are certain verses of this book, the Quran, revealed more than thirteen centuries ago, which teach exactly the same notions as the most modern scientific researches do. This definitely converted me."

Dirk (Saifuddin) Walter Mosig:

(U.S.A.)

"I have read the sacred Scriptures of every religion; nowhere have I found what I encountered in Islam: Perfection. The Holy Quran, compared to any other scripture I have read, is like the Sun compared to that of a match. I firmly believe that anybody who reads the Word of Allah with a mind that is not completely closed to Truth, will become a Muslim….. May Allah grant His Guidance to all the sincere seekers of Truth. The arms of Islam are open to receive them in the heart of a community called by Allah Himself: "The best people that were ever raised for the benefit of mankind."

Col. Donald S. Rockwell:

(Poet, Critic and Author, USA)

"The universal brotherhood of Islam, regardless of race, politics, color or country, has been brought home to me most keenly many times in my life – and this is another feature which drew me towards the Faith."

Jared Diamond:

(World renowned UCLA sociologist and physiologist, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for his book: "Guns, Germs, and Steel")

"Medieval Islam was technologically advanced and open to innovation. It achieved far higher literacy rates than in contemporary Europe. It assimilated the legacy of classical Greek civilization to such a degree that many classical books are now known to us only through Arabic copies. It invented windmills, trigonometry, Lateen sails and made major advances in metallurgy, mechanical and chemical engineering and irrigation methods. In the middle-ages the flow of technology was overwhelmingly from Islam to Europe rather from Europe to Islam. Only after the 1500's did the net direction of flow begin to reverse."

Since the message of Truth is spreading and more and more people are embracing Islam in all parts of the world, the forces of evil are worried. They are trying to destroy Muslim countries to stop the ‘Tsunami of Islam’. All those wars in Muslim countries and the bloodshed in other part of the world, cannot deter the Truth-seekers. They’ll come and join the community no matter what the stakes. Islam is the flame of guidance and the Devil’s followers or friends cannot extinguish it. It’s the promise of Allah and His promise is always true. Islam is going to spread all over and is going to stay.

“Fain would they extinguish Allah’s light with

their mouths, but Allah will not allow but that

His light should be perfected, even though the

unbelievers may detest (it).”

(al-Quran 9:32)

“Their intention is to extinguish Allah’s Light

(by blowing) with their mouths. But Allah will

complete (the revelation of) His Light, even

though the unbelievers may detest (it).”

(al-Quran 61:8)

Here’s the positive approach of an educated and civilized person who happens to be a scientist, and who is in a position to do some research on the Quranic statements. His findings are very beneficial for humanity:

Prof. Keith Moore:

(World-famous scientist of anatomy & embryology, University of Toronto, Canada)

“It has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Quran about human development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God, or 'Allah', because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad must have been a messenger of Allah.”

And those educated people all over the world (Muslims and non-Muslims alike) who studied the Quran and understood its verses, realizing that these are from the Creator of the universe, know it well that it can bring peace, happiness, understanding and harmony among the people of different regions of the planet Earth. Since Islam stands for peace and social justice, they expect more from it.

H.A.R. Gibb:

(‘Whither Islam’, London, 1932, p. 379)

"But Islam has a still further service to render to the cause of humanity. It stands after all nearer to the real East than Europe does, and it possesses a magnificent tradition of inter-racial understanding and cooperation. “No other society has such a record of success in uniting in an equality of status, of opportunity and endeavor so many and so varied races of mankind. The great Muslim communities of Africa, India and Indonesia, perhaps also the small community in Japan, show that Islam has still the

power to reconcile apparently irreconcilable elements of race and tradition. If ever the opposition of the great societies of the East and West is to be replaced by cooperation, the mediation of Islam is an indispensable condition."

Canon Taylor:

(Paper read before the Church Congress at Wolverhampton, Oct. 7, 1887; quoted by Arnoud in ‘The Preaching of Islam’, pp. 71-72)

"It (Islam) replaced monkishness by manliness. It gives hope to the slave, brotherhood to mankind, and recognition of the fundamental facts of human nature."

S.S. Leeder:

(‘Veiled Mysteries of Egypt’)

"How, for instance, can any other appeal stand against that of the Moslem who, in approaching the pagan, says to him, however obscure or degraded he may be, “Embrace the faith, and you are at once equal and a brother”. Islam knows no color line."

Prof. Yushudi Kusan:

(Director, The Tokyo Observatory)

“I can say, I am very much impressed by finding true astronomical facts in the Quran.”

Joe Leigh Simpson:

(Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology, North Western University, Chicago, USA)

“It follows, I think, that not only is there no conflict between genetics and religion, but in fact religion can guide science by adding revelation to some traditional scientific approaches. That there exists statements in the Quran shown by science to be valid, which supports knowledge in the Quran having been derived from Allah."

Prof. Palmer:

(American scientist)

“We need research into the history of early Middle Eastern oral traditions to know whether in fact such historical events have been reported. If there is no such record, it strengthens the belief that Allah transmitted through Muhammad bits of his knowledge that we have only discovered for ourselves in recent times. We look forward to a continuing dialogue on the topic of science in the Quran in the context of geology.”

Prof. Tagata Tagasone:

(Ex-Head of the Dept. of Anatomy & Embryology, University of Shiang Mai, Thailand. Current Dean, College of Medicine at the same University)

“From my studies and from what I have learned throughout this conference, I believe that everything that has been recorded in the Quran 1400 years ago must be the truth, that can be proved by the scientific means. Since Prophet Muhammad could neither read nor write, Muhammad must be a messenger who relayed this truth which was revealed to him as an enlightenment by the o­ne Who is an eligible Creator. This Creator must be God, or Allah. Therefore, I think this is the time to say ‘La ilaha illallaha’, (there is no God to worship except Allah, ‘Muhammad Rasool-Allaha’, (Muhammad is messenger of Allah).”

Christian Priest Turned Muslim Preacher

Yusuf Estes:

(Ex-Christian Priest)

“I could perhaps begin by saying, that I have personally witnessed many “converts” coming into Islam in this country (and Mexico as well). But many people consider my own personal experience to be rather unique in that it was not simple one person changing their religion, but rather an entire household of very religious Christians of three different denominations (Catholic, "Born Again" and Protestant)

all "converting" to Islam.”

“While we would all agree that there are always going to be a certain number of people who, for whatever reason, will change from one religion to another, we must also quickly agree that it is highly unusual to find a number of priests, preachers, reverends and holy men (and women) from various faith groups, simultaneously entering the same faith around the world.”

If you are not worshiping Allah, you are wasting your time – actually wasting your life! Do some homework if you are seeking guidance. All guidance comes from Allah but it surely comes to those who seek it and strive for it. In the Quran, Allah is talking to you, me, them and everybody else. Are you not curious to know what He says? He is definitely showing you the right way!

"If not Him, you worship nothing but names

which you have named – you and your fathers – for

which Allah has sent down no authority. The

command is for none but Allah. He has commanded

that you worship none but Him. That is the right

religion, but most men understand not.”

(al-Quran 12:40)
