Prof. Baron HÂRÛN MUSTAFÂ LEON<br />

(G.B.)<br />

(Prof. Baron Leon comes from a prominent British family and<br />

possesses the title of Baron. He owns a Ph D. and other scientific<br />

titles. He became a Muslim in 1882. He had memberships in<br />

numerous scientific societies in Europe and America. Prof. Leon,<br />

who was a great authority especially in the linguistic and literary<br />

sciences, sprang into the universal limelight with his publication<br />

that was called ‘Ethimology of the Human Lexion’. Upon this<br />

publication, the Potomac University of America gave him the<br />

degree of M.S. Prof. Leon is at the same time an expert geologist.<br />

He was invited by many famous institutions and gave conferences<br />

of these areas. He was elected as the Secretary General for the<br />

Société Internationale de Philologie=International Society of<br />

Philology, Science and Fine Arts, which had been founded in<br />

1875. He began to publish a magazine titled (The Philomeths).<br />

He was awarded with various medals by the Ottoman Sultan<br />

Abd-ul-hamîd II, by the Shah of Iran, and by the Emperor of<br />

Austria.)<br />

One of the most perfect essentials of the Islamic religion is that<br />

it never demands of <strong>Muslims</strong> to act against reason. Islam is a<br />

religion whose teachings are quite reasonable and perfectly logical.<br />

The other religions, on the other hand, force people to accept the<br />

tenets of creed that they can never understand, believe or find<br />

logical. In Christianity the church is the only authority in this<br />

respect. Contrariwise, <strong>Muslims</strong> are commanded to believe in<br />

anything only after mentally examining it (and finding it logical).<br />

Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’ states, “Allâhu ta’âlâ has not created<br />

anything irrational or illogical.” He states in another hadîth-isherîf,<br />

“I tell you with certainty that even if a person performs (his<br />

daily prayers of) namâz (regularly), fasts, pays (the prescribed<br />

alms called) zakât, goes on hajj (Muslim’s pilgrimage to Mekka),<br />

and carries out all the other commandments of Islam, he shall be<br />

rewarded in proportion to the degree of his using the mind and<br />

logic Allâhu ta’âlâ has endowed on him.”<br />

The pure religion preached by Îsâ ‘alaihis-salâm’ also<br />

contained similar rules. For instance, ‘First try everything! Accept<br />

only the good one.” Yet, these rules were forgotten in the course<br />

of time. The fifth âyat-i-kerîma of Sûra-t-ul-Jum’a of Qur’ân al-<br />
