Why Did They Become Muslims

must have been sharing identical, or, at least, similar properties in
salinity and density. On the contrary, even at places where the two
seas were closest to each other, each mass of water preserved its
properties. In other words, at the point where the two seas met, a
curtain of water prevented the waters belonging to the two seas from
mixing. When I told Professor Maurice Bucaille about this
phenomenon, he said that it was no surprise and that it was written
clearly in Islam’s Holy Book, the Qur’ân al-kerîm. [1] Indeed, this fact
was defined in a plain language in the Qur’ân al-kerîm. When I
knew this, I believed in the fact that the Qur’ân al-kerîm was the

the fact that Allâhu ta’âlâ is a great creator who gives us power
and energy and who guides our souls to perfection. The concept
of Allah infuses security and peace into us. Yet the Christian
religion falls short of giving us this sense of peace. It is the Islamic
religion, alone, that teaches us the greatness of Allâhu ta’âlâ and
which, at the same time, guides us in regard to where the human
soul will go after death. The Islamic religion guides us not only in
