Why Did They Become Muslims

work, nor did he command any of his disciples to write literature.”
As it is seen, this great encyclopaedia confirms the fact that the
four Gospels do not have any religious value, and that they consist
of contradictory stories with anonymous authors.
As the European scientists and historians, and even Christian
theologians announce that today’s Torahs and Bibles are corrupt
books, enemies of religion, who reject spiritual forces and who
have been dizzied by the pace of technological change and
therefore are quite unconscious of the existence of spiritual
knowledge, attack religions on account of the foolish passages in
the Torahs and Bibles. Thereby they are trying to find justification
for their denying miracles. However, for a Christian and a Muslim
alike, the first requirement of piety is believing in miracles. If a
person uses his mind as the only gauge to prove matters of îmân
(belief), which are beyond mind’s grasp, he may be dragged
towards disbelief. A person feels hostility towards something he
does not know or cannot understand. One of those wretched
people who have fallen into the disastrous state of denying the
existence of miracles is Ernest O. Hauser, an American writer of
religious books. In an article of his, which was published in 1979,
he attacks pious people and even tries to interpret miracles. In
order to seduce young brains, he puts forward a few articles
written by atheists as corroborative evidence to prove his
argument, which can be paraphrased as follows: “It is written as
follows in the Gospel of Matthew: ‘And he commanded the
multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and
the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke, and
gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.’
‘And they did all eat, were filled: and they took up of the
fragments that remained twelve baskets full.” ‘And they that had
eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.’
[Matt: 14-19, 20, 21]
“This is Matthew’s account of the most disputed miracle of Îsâ
‘alaihis-salâm’.
“A miracle is a preternatural, wonderful event performed by a
prophet for the purpose of displaying his capacity and power.
How can we suggest these miracles as a credal tenet to today’s
Christians, who have learned the most up-to-date scientific
improvements and who have grown up in a knowledgeable
environment? On the other hand, it is impossible to take them
out of the Gospels. Then, we have to analyse them once again.
