Why Did They Become Muslims

efore Îsâ ‘alaihis-salâm’.
2 Chronicles: This book, too, may have been written by Azrâ.
It is written in Munjid, (an encyclopaedic Arabic dictionary made
up of two parts,) that Azrâ means Uzeyr. Yet the author of these
books is not Uzeyr ‘alaihis-salâm’ (a prophet), but a Jew named
Azrâ.
Ezra: This book was named after its author, Ezra (Azrâ).
Esther: Author: anonymous.
Job: Author: anonymous.
Psalms: It means the chapters of Zebûr, (the Holy Book
revealed to Dâwûd (David) ‘alaihis-salâm’. Although it is said to

contains psalms of the sons of Korah, Asaph, Ethan the Ezrahite,
and Solomon (Suleymân ‘alaihis-salâm’).
Jonah: Author: unknown.

31 to 36); how foul these lies are should have been realized by
Christians also, so that they are gradually taking these passages out
of the Holy Bible.
Now let us examine the Holy Bible from a textual point of view
to see what it is endeavouring to imbue into mankind:
The passage we shall quote is from Genesis, which tells about
the early human beings, the early prophets, the great prophets
such as Âdam, Nûh, and Ibrâhîm ‘alaihimussalawâtu wattaslîmât’.
