Why Did They Become Muslims

century. This country, (or any other Muslim country on the earth),
will reap no benefit from people who do not know Allâhu ta’âlâ
as He is described by the scholars of Ahl-as-sunnat, who flout
Islam’s commandments and prohibitions, and who feel enmity
towards their Muslim brothers with the effect of foreign ideas
they have been indoctrinated with. Their souls are unhealthy.
Like machines or beasts, they give service to anyone who gets
possession of them. They are the most harmful viruses of society.
May Allâhu ta’âlâ protect us against the vices of these pestilential
people! Scientists and politicians who have chosen Islam state that
“If a man’s soul is vacant, it is good for nothing. This vacuum can
be filled only with a true religion.” A person who has purified his
soul with Islam and who avoids Islam’s prohibitions, will not fall
for any subversive propaganda; but he will follow the right path
written in the books of Ahl-as-sunnat, establish a hand-in-hand
cooperation with his Muslim brothers, and thus serve his religion
and country. Thereby, he will attain the blessing and grace of
Allâhu ta’âlâ in both worlds.
Of old, the unilaterally opinionated people would take any
occasion to vituperate Islam, and to attempt to defile the essentials
of this true religion; in short, doing injustice was their favourite
occupation. Most of the books written by such miscreants were
published by Christians and by heretical groups lurking behind
Muslim names. In Europe there are subversive books that were
written without any actual study of Islam. These books represent
cruel and lying heathens who worship the devil, who legitimize all
sorts of iniquity, and who consider women as mere possessions.
Books of the same sort were published with mischievous motives
in the orient as well. Today, as people understand one another
better and read one another’s books, correct books spread widely,
and thus the old hatred gradually leaves its place to admiration.
The divisive and subversive ideas that at one time instigated wars
between Christians and Muslims, and between the aberrant groups
of Muslims and true Muslims holding the belief of Ahl-as-sunnat,
are on the decrease.
Today Christians realize the shortcomings of their religion and
try to ameliorate them. As we were preparing this book we
received a letter from India. Enclosed was a message headlined
‘Explanation’ and distributed by the Christians living there. It
said: “Because Allah created us, we are all Allah’s sons and
daughters. You, too, are a son or daughter of Allah. The
expression ‘the son of God’, which you read in the Bible, means,
