Why Did They Become Muslims

forgiving. If a sinful person repents for his wrongdoings, Allâhu
ta’âlâ will forgive him. Yet it would by no means be cruelty to
employ eternal torture on those who will not believe in the Qur’ân
al-kerîm in the face of so many obvious proofs.
Being a true Muslim means not only performing the acts of
worship in the superficiality of practising a custom, but also
acquiring beautiful moral habits, observing one’s social duties,
and being extremely pure spiritually. If a person does his
worships regularly but at the same time associates deceitfulness
with intelligence, cheats people, sometimes even succumbs to
vicious propaganda and commits homicide, burns and destroys
places, and lies, he is not a true Muslim, even though he may
claim to be one. Allâhu ta’âlâ dictates how a Muslim should be in
the Furqân Sûra of the Qur’ân al-kerîm. The true Islamic scholars
called Ahl-as-sunna ‘rahima-humullâhu ta’âlâ’ wrote an
exceeding number of books to explain it. But we still cannot
purge ourselves of bad habits, do not work as hard as the Qur’ân
al-kerîm commands us to, do not obey the commandments of
Allâhu ta’âlâ, cannot abide by our promises, make our streets
piles of dirt and ruins, and cannot purify ourselves physically and
spiritually. This is the case in the face of the fact that we have the
Word of Allah, the Qur’ân al-kerîm, with all its clear
commandments, instructions and prescriptions, the
commandments of our Prophet ‘sall-Allâhu ta’âlâ ’alaihi wa
sallam’, and the so many books written by the scholars of Ahl-assunnat.
Allâhu ta’âlâ declares as follows, as is purported in the twentyeighth
âyat of the Fat-h Sûra of the Qur’ân al-kerîm:
“It is Allâhu ta’âlâ Who has sent His Prophet Islam the
Guidance and the religion of Truth, to proclaim it over all
religions: and enough is Allâhu ta’âlâ for a Witness (to testify to
the fact that) [Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’ is] (the true Prophet)”
(48-28)
The ninth âyat of Saff Sûra purports, “It is Allâhu ta’âlâ Who
has sent His Messenger (Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’) with the
Qur’ân [which is the Guidance] and Islam (which is the Religion of
Truth), that He may proclaim it over all religions, even though the
pagans may detest (it).” (61-9)
And Allâhu ta’âlâ promises:
