All <strong>Muslims</strong> should give serious consideration to the matter of<br />
spreading the Islamic religion in Japan and, as I have stated earlier,<br />
true scholars should be sent to our country. These people coming<br />
in should be exemplary <strong>Muslims</strong>, not only in words, but also in<br />
manners and behaviours. We Japanese people are pining for<br />
peace, truth, honesty, sincerity and virtue. Day by day we are<br />
losing these beautiful qualities of ours. Islam is the only saviour to<br />
rescue us from the impending destruction.<br />
<strong>Muslims</strong> have belief in Allâhu ta’âlâ, who is great and one.<br />
Japanese people need this sort of belief.<br />
Islam means ‘peace’. There is not another nation who long for<br />
peace as strongly as the Japanese people do. Attaining peace and<br />
tranquillity requires accepting Islam, which is ‘peace’ itself. Islam<br />
means living in peace and happiness with people and submission to<br />
the commandments of Allâhu ta’âlâ. Humanity will attain<br />
salvation from disasters and savageries only via Islam.<br />

have been turned into machines, in turn, suffer from profound<br />
dissatisfaction. I felt the same dissatisfaction. There was a vacuum<br />
in my soul. I was not pleased about that life style. Yet, what was<br />
missing I did not know.<br />
I visited a Muslim who was in Tokyo for a short stay. I very<br />
much admired his religious ideas and the way he prayed. I began<br />
to ask him various questions. The answers he gave not only<br />
pleased me, but also filled the vacuum in my soul. He said that<br />
there was one Creator, that that Creator had prescribed the<br />
modes of life we had to lead to attain peace and salvation, and<br />
that he was leading a life compatible with the commandments of<br />
that Creator. His words impressed me so deeply that I told him<br />
that I wanted to accept his religion, and thus I became a Muslim<br />
under his guide. After becoming a Muslim I began to feel in my<br />
heart how great a happiness it was to live in a spiritual mood so<br />
