Why Did They Become Muslims

For the mission that God had given him was over. That prophet,
who had provided all sorts of help for others, could not help
himself now. For he had been sent as a saviour for humanity, not
as a saviour for himself! How much pleased God was with that
behaviour of his can be assessed from His raising him to heaven.
“The question, ‘Do you believe in miracles?’ have always been
repeated. In fact, it is very hard for the present generation to
believe in miracles. Let us not forget, however, that belief cannot
be explained within the limits of logic. Belief is love and is not in
good terms with logic. Men should be given some spiritual rights.
How great pleasure we used to take from the stories we listened to
when we were children, and how disillusioned we were when we
grew up and learned that the talking animals, genies, the magicians
and the dwarfs in those stories were not true at all! Let us not dwell
too much on miracles. I presume that the most logical person
would take pleasure from imagining the descent of Christianity on
the earth on its miraculous wings, although it is merely a story.”
This is the end of our quotation from Hauser.
This article makes us think. The more errors and mistakes
Christians find in the Holy Bible in the course of time, the more
sceptical they become about the veracity of its statements, so much
so that they reject even its miracles. The British priestly
philosophers named David Hume and Rudolph Butmann, two
Christians who realized that the Torah and the Bible they had
been reading could not be the Word of Allah, expressed their
rightful hatred for Christianity and for the copies of the Torah and
the Bible in their hands. Meanwhile, overflowing the borders of
knowledge and manners, they had the insolence to pronounce
imaginary judgements on the miracles stated in the Qur’ân alkerîm,
which is truely the Word of Allah. Reading those
unconscionable lines, which are not based on knowledge though
they were written in the name of knowledge, young people may
drift into the same wrong opinion held by the authors of those
lines. To protect the innocent young generation against this danger
is, therefore, a cardinal duty for those people who have had it on
their conscience to serve humanity. By the same token, and for the
purpose of blessing ourselves with the approval of Allâhu ta’âlâ by
carrying out His command to do favours and charitable deeds, we
shall allot the following passage to this end, supporting our
argument with citations from the book Mawâhib-i-ladunniyya,
written by Ahmad Qastalânî ‘rahmatullâhi ’aleyh’ (d. 923 [1517
C.E.]), a great Islamic sholar.
