Why Did They Become Muslims

“Do they not consider the meanings in the Qur’an al-kerîm (with
care)? Had it been from other than Allâhu ta’âlâ, they would
surely have found therein much discrepancy.” (4-82) How true it
is! Today’s Holy Bible, which we have already realized is not the
Word of Allah, contains so many discrepancies, which proves that
it is man-made.
Now let us perform an extremely patient and thoroughly
impartial observation to see whether the Qur’ân al-kerîm is really
a great miracle. A book’s being a miracle requires its having been
written in a very eloquent language, its divulging such facts and
prodigies as nobody else knows or has heard of yet, and its having
been arranged in such an order as no human being could imitate.
We have given many examples about the eloquence of the
Qur’ân al-kerîm. Indeed, this fact is admitted by the entire world.
No one so far has denied the eloquence of the Qur’ân al-kerîm.
Did the Qur’ân al-kerîm mention facts that no one else knew as
of that time? Let us see.
Today’s major encyclopaedias and books written by scientists
contain the following information concerning the formation of our
earth:
“Billions of years ago the entire universe consisted of a single
piece. Suddenly, a big explosion took place in the middle of that
piece. Consequently, the big piece broke into a number of smaller
pieces, and each of the smaller pieces began to move in a different
direction. Finally, some of the pieces united with one another,
forming the so many various planets, galaxies [milky ways], suns,
and satellites [moons]. Because there was no resistance left against
the initial ‘big bang’ in space, the planets, the satellites, and the
galaxies they were in continued to float in space, revolving in their
orbits. The world is in a galaxy which contains the sun, too. There
are innumerable galaxies in the universe. The universe is an everenlarging
system. Other galaxies are gradually becoming farther
and farther away from the world, because the universe is enlarging
continuously. If their speed become equal with the speed of light,
we will no longer see the galaxies. We have to begin making more
powerful telescopes. For we fear that it will soon be impossible for
us to see them.”
We talked with some scientists and asked them when they had
reached that conclusion. Their answer was, “For the recent fifty or
sixty years, scientists the world-over have been unanimously
