Why Did They Become Muslims

Turkish liras].” The society is still active today, establishing
infirmaries, hospitals, conference halls, libraries, schools, cinemas
and other recreation and sports institutions in many places of the
world, and making great efforts to Christianize people who haunt
those places. Catholics do not fall behind in these activities. In
addition, they entice poor populations towards Christianity by
finding jobs for young people and by providing medicinal help.
Today, there are some small (Islamic) societies in some Muslim
countries such as Pakistan, South Africa and Saudi Arabia, and a
few small Islamic centers in European countries and in America.
These centers carry on Islamic publications. However, because
these centers are supported by a variety of different groups, their
publications criticize one another, impair the Islamic unity
commanded by our religion, and give rise to separatism. The
capacity of our company, Hakikat Bookstore, allows only a limited
number of young students to read our books. For all the
unfavourable conditions, our humble publications are being read
all over the world and thereby the number of Muslims on the right
path is increasing every year. The number of Muslims, which was
only one-third that of Christians a hundred years ago, is almost
half their number today. For Muslims are faithful to their credal
tenets and raise their children with an Islamic education. In
contrast, younger generations in the Christian world see that
Christianity is in counterpoint to recent scientific improvements
and modern technical findings, and become convinced atheists.
Communist states, on the other hand, annihilate and prohibit
religion altogether. In some of them, e.g. in Albania, under an
excessively communistic regime, [1]
religions are presented as
objects of derision in public places called ‘Museums of Atheism’.
It is a fact reported in British publications that the number of
atheists in Britain, where most of the aforesaid gigantic Christian
organizations are located, is already thirty per cent of the entire
population.
Then, what is the reason for this ever-increasing appreciation
for our publications versus the ineluctable sinking of Christianity
despite all the efforts contrarywise? The reason is obvious. Islam
is the most civilized, the most plausible, and the truest religion.
Islam is explained in such a sincere and clear language in our
