Why Did They Become Muslims

printed and published in every country. British newspapers wrote
that spreading of the book would cause irreparable harm to
Christianity. Abd-ul-hamîd Khan II ‘rahmatullâhi ’aleyh’ (d. 1336
[1918 C.E.]), Muslims’ Khalîfa, invited the great scholar once
again, in the blessed month of Ramadân in 1304, and hosted him
with deep respect and generous kindness in his palace.
Rahmatullah Efendi passed away in Mekka-i-mukarrama in the
month of Ramadân in 1308 [1890 C.E.].
In addition to all these books, we have studied books written
about the Qur’ân al-kerîm by Western orientalists in the previous
century. Then we have reached the conclusion that an unbiased
comparative study of these two holy books will reveal which of
them is the Word of Allah with such indisputable clarity as cannot
be denied by the most obstinate person regardless of his religious
background. We have arranged this chapter in six divisions. The
first three divisions deal with the Qur’ân al-kerîm and the existing
copies of the Torah and the Bible, as we have stated above.
The last three divisions are dedicated to our Prophet
Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’, his miracles, virtues and beautiful
moral qualities. The information contained in these divisions have
been borrowed from a history book in Turkish, namely Mir’ ât-ikâinât,
written by Nişanc›zâde Muhammad Efendi ‘rahimahullâhu
ta’âlâ’, a renowned Islamic scholar. He passed away in
1031 [1719 C.E.]. His book was published in 1269 [1853 C.E.].
We hope that our dear readers will read this chapter of our
book with deep interest and will benefit from the information
provided. May Allâhu ta’âlâ bless us all with true guidance. May
He keep us all on the right path. Âmîn.
Do not annoy others, and others will not annoy thee;
Deceive no one, and no one will deceive thee.
Water from Islam’s enemy will never satiate thee;
Nor will the disbeliever, be him fire, a bit burn thee.
Keep on the right way, Allah will not embarrass thee!
Harm of all sorts come to thee from thee;
Thy own evil thoughts, alone, will defame thee.
The dweller is what gives a dwelling its dignity;
Islam is the only source that will guide thee.
Keep on the right way, Allah will not embarrass thee!
