96 THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING ISLAM The Messenger of Allah () said: ‘This matter (i.e. the religion of Islam) will become apparent as night and day. Every person in a city or desert area will come to know of this religion, by means of might or disgrace. Might by which Islam is honored and disgrace by which God disgraces disbelief.’ (Ahmad) Translation: I begin with the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Most Merciful. From Muhammad ibn Abdu-llah the Messenger of God to Muqawqas the Ruler of the Christians in Egypt. Peace be upon him who follows the guidance. I call you to Islam. Accept Islam and you will be safe. God will give you your reward double-fold. If you forsake the message of God, you will carry the sin of all your followers. Say: “O People of the Book! Come to common terms between us and you: that we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah. If then they turn back, say you: ‘Bear witness that we are Muslims (submitting to Allah’s Will). (3:64) Translation: I begin with the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Most Merciful. From Muhammad ibn Abdu-llah the Messenger of God, to Heraclius the Emperor of Rome. Peace be upon him who follows the guidance. I call you to Islam. Accept Islam and you will be safe. God will give you your reward double-fold. If you forsake the message of God, you will carry the sin of all your followers. Say: “O People of the Book! Come to common terms between us and you: that we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah. If then they turn back, say you: ‘Bear witness that we are Muslims (submitting to Allah’s Will). (3:64) Heraclius was the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire [610–641] who captured Syria, Palestine, and Egypt from Persia [613–628] ).
Conclusion THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING ISLAM The Divine Religion, Islam, is complete in all aspects. It is the constitution for a fulfilling life in this world, and an eternal and everlasting one in the Hereafter. You may find some deviated manners or faults in the way Muslims deal with themselves and others, but know that Islam has nothing to do with these shortcomings. This may be due to their ignorance of the religion or weakness in their faith which leads them to do what you see. So do not judge Islam according to what you may experience from some of its followers. This small publication should be regarded as a key to start researching the Truth. However, to further study Islam: 1) Remove any prejudice. 2) Have a true desire to reach the Truth and not seek faults and errors. 3) Think independently and should not blindly follow others. Allah () says: And when it is said to them, “Follow what Allah has revealed,” they say, “Rather, we will follow that upon which we found our fathers.” Even if Satan was inviting them to the punishment of the Blaze? (31:21). 97
