In the Name of Allah The
Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
"Truly, the
religion with Allah is Islam. Those who Were given the Scripture (Jews and
Christians) did not differ except, out of mutual jealousy, after knowledge had
come to them. And whoever disbelieves in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses,
signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, then surely, Allah is Swift in calling to
account.
(Al Imran, 3: 19)
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.

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 of 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 .

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.

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.

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
dogma 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.

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 lslam, than
by any way advocated 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.

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 ))]
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.

Views of the Reverts in brief about
the Noble Qur'an
The Noble
Qur'an contains what every soul mostly requires
Since My youth, I have been greatly impressed by Islamic Civilization
in all its aspects, its poetry and architecture; and very often I have told
myself that a people who could give to The world so vast a treasure of beauty
and significance in every branch of culture, must also have attained to the
highest levels both in philosophy and religion.
In My enthusiasm for Islam, I began to study all religions, from
the most ancient to those of the present day, comparing each with the other,
and subjecting them to very close criticism; and little by little, I became
convinced that the Muslim worship is the True Religion, and that the Noble Qur'an
contained what every soul mostly requires for its spiritual elevation.

I studied a
Muslim translation of the Noble Qur' an and was astounded to read such noble
precepts and inspiring passages!
I studied a Muslim translation of the Noble Qur'an, and was astounded
to read such noble precepts and inspiring passages, such wise and practical
advice for everyday life. It made me wonder why I had been taught that Muhammad
was a false prophet, and how I had not heard the truth about this wonderful
religion earlier.
Islam, if sincerely followed, must bring that peace to the mind
and body which the world itself needs, and create a perfect social order.
Hasan V. Mathews
The Noble
Qur'an is full of truths, and its teachings are so practical and free from dogmatic
tenets and mysteries!
As a Roman Catholic, I had the opportunity of studying the Catholic
faith to a great extent. I was doing my best to convince myself that
Catholicism was the only true faith, but allah! its mysteries, dogmas and the
compulsory 'must believes' did not permit me to remain quiet. I started my search for
the Truth and remained engaged in this for many years quite silently.
In Hinduism and Buddhism, I found such 'vacant spots' that the
only alternative left to me was to study Islam. At one time, I really held
Islam in abhorrence. I had no Muslim friends, for Islam was so repulsive to me
that I did not want even to associate with its adherents. Little did I dream
that ... books on Islam would make a new man of me. I was gradually becoming so
observed in the lovely teachings of Islam that it did not take me long to go
earnestly further into it. I began to love Islam because of its straight and
non-mysterious path. It is clean and simple, yet so full of deep studies that I
soon felt the inevitable was drawing nigh.
The Noble Qur'an, some passages of which I read, simply Struck
me with wonder, for I had the idea that there was Nothing to rival the Bible. I
found, however, that I was Hopelessly mistaken in this. Indeed, The Noble Qur'an,
is so Full of truths, and its teachings so practical and free from dogmatic tenets
and mysteries, that I was daily being drifted Into the religion of 'Peace and
Love' which Islam certainly is.
