Why Did They Become Muslims

Holy Book of Allâhu ta’âlâ, which was a common quality of all the
Ottoman Sultâns, Sultân Ibrâhîm ‘rahima-hullâhu ta’âlâ’ took the
advice and rescinded his decree.”
Shems-ud-dîn Sâmî Bey [d. 1322 (1904 C.E.)] states as follows in
Qâmûs ul-a’lâm: “Sultân Ibrâhîm had well-proportioned stature and
figure, and a beautiful face with lovely eyes. He was well-known for his
tender and generous personality.” Such was the Islamic religion. While
the Muslim men of religion were saving Christians from death,
Christian popes, patriarchs and priests were calling the entire world to
kill Muslims. Despite this obvious fact, these shameless people have
the face to allege that Islam is a religion of barbarity, and by quoting
Îsâ ‘alaihis-salâm’ as having said, ‘And unto him that smiteth thee on
the one cheek offer also the other; ...” (Luke: 6-29), a piece of advice
that they flouted throughout history, they do not spare the blushes of
their co-religionists.
[Misguiding Muslims’ children with lies and slanders and with
promises pertaining to money and position, the British and their
Jewish collaborators demolished the Muslim Ottoman state. They
popularized irreligiousness and spread it as a fashion among younger
generations. They rationalized women’s going out without properly
covering themselves in a manner prescribed by Islam, indecencies,
alcohol parties, immoralities, and irreligiosness by calling them
modern life styles. They annihilated Islamic scholars and Islamic
knowledge. British spies and masonic agents disguised themselves as
men of religion and ruined Islam’s beautiful ethical entity and its
original system of religious practices. Islam was gone in essence,
although it survived in name. In the time of the Party of Union, even
the legislators, beys and pashas became enemies of Islam. They passed
laws destructive of Islam. Adherence to one’s religion and belief was
represented as a misdemeanour. Numbers of Muslims were hanged
and butchered. Pious acts such as promulgating Islam’s
commandments and avoiding Islam’s prohibitions were stigmatized as
separatism. Those who performed emr-i-ma’rûf, i.e. who taught the
true essence of Islam, were called enemies of the regime. Al-hamd-ulillah
(may praise and gratitude be to Allah)! The Christian
aggressions have come to an end. The Islamic sun is shining again in
our blessed country, (Turkey). The enemy’s lies and treacheries have
come to light. True religious teachings are being written freely. Today
every Muslim has to show gratitude for this freedom and do his best
to learn the true essence of our sacred religion for whose sake our
ancestors sacrificed their lives. If we do not teach our religion to our
children and discipline them to adapt themselves to the Sharî’at (way
of life prescribed by Islam), the enemies lying in wait and the idiots
bought by them will resume their aggressions and begin to deceive our
children. All the peoples of Europe and America believe in rising
