Amongst us, human beings, none is completely devoid of the innate feeling – even from time to time – that there is a Creating God behind this universe. Such a feeling may be frustrating and people may be prevented from responding to it by the teachings they get as a result of their belonging to a particular environment, their indulgence in earthly life and cheap pleasure naturally, the Almighty Creator should differ from us in all respects:
لَيۡسَ كَمِثۡلِهِۦ شَىۡءٌ۬ۖ
“And unto Him the like is not”(Ash-Shûrâ : 11)
Most people could not be easily induced by this sincere feeling of the existence of the Creator to follow the right path leading to Him. Thus, Allâh [God’s name in Islâm] sent Prophets and Messengers – Allâh’s prayer and peace be upon them – with Divine support in the form of miracles suitable to their environment, until the advent of the last of His Messengers,Prophet Muhammad, who emerged after the maturity of the human thinking when the age of science was immanent; Allâh supported him with the Qur’ân to be an Eternal Miracle.
Being A Woman: Social Challenges, Concerns and More...OnIslam
It is painful to see people in the 21st century look at a woman as a mere body to be exhibited in the media and in the streets just to please the public.
It’s also painful to see people look down on women as the weaker sex and a source of evil on this earth. It is equally painful to see people pretending to be modern/fair enough to defend women’s rights but they totally denounce it whenever faced with real situations that need actions rather than words.
In this e-book, we highlight some enlightening pieces, sincere reflections and Q&A on issues that affect women in modern times.

Despite its grandeur and majesty, the Qur’an does not evoke a sense of distance or strangeness, but rather affinity with the divine words because of their familiarity with human nature, its needs, its fears, its pains, and its desires. (Indeed, We (Allah) have created the human, and We know what his own self whispers to him. And We are nearer to him than his jugular vein.) [Qaf 50: 16]
Reading and rereading it, each time with more purpose and focus, eventually forms a rope safely tying us to our Creator, as depicted by Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace): “Truly, this Qur’an is a rope; one end of it is in Allah’s Hand and the other end is in yours. Hold fast to it. Indeed, you will never go astray or be ruined after it (after holding on to it).” (Ibn Hibban)

American Muslims or Muslim Americans, whatever the name is, the fact remains that this community is one of the most vibrant and developing in the American mosaic.
The community passed through several stages and generations to reach its current level of engagement and productivity.

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

4. WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT
It is NOT a violent religion.
The word “Islam” comes from the root form of the
word meaning Peace and Submission.
“As-Salamo Alaykum” is the Muslim greeting, it
means “Peace be with You”
Islam is a way of life, it covers everything; it’s a
guide to do good and live in peace.
{As for those who strive for Us – We will surely
guide them to Our ways. And indeed Allah is
with the doers of good.} (Al-Ankabut 29:69)
4
5. WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT (CONTINUED)
A great aspect of Islam is its tolerance of other
religions; we respect everyone equally.
Islam is perfect, people are not. Don’t blame the
religion for the mistakes of people.
Islam asks people:
Fairness
Forgiveness
Respect
Love
Peace
Equality
5
6. ETHICS AND VALUES
Hospitality; the joy of honoring guests:
Having good manners.
Guests who visit our homes must be treated with
Kindness
Respect
Dignity
Human rights:
Divine justice isn’t for Muslims only. It secures the rights
of all human beings, whatever their beliefs may be.
It’s especially protective of the rights of belief and
practicing one’s belief.
The environment:
A crucial point to the principle of equity is to leave a
livable, viable planet for future generations; social justice.
6
7. A LITTLE ABOUT ISLAM
The basic emphasis is the Oneness of God; the
Creator and Sustainer of the whole universe is
One.
All humans whether white or black, brown or
yellow are of equal status before God.
All the so-called monotheistic religions come from
the same source, since the origin is the guidance
sent down from the One and Only God.
7
8. A LITTLE ABOUT ISLAM (CONTINUED)
Muslims respect all the other religions and don’t
attack them.
They honor all the prophets of God:
Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus (peace be upon them)
There is a progressive revelation of divine guidance
through the scriptures, culminating in the Last
Testament (the Quran).
The moon, or the crescent, is simply a symbol
related to the lunar calendar Muslims use;
we don’t worship it. 8
9. SOME COMMON CRITICISM
Muhammad was a
terrorist because he
fought many wars.
He had nine wives.
Many prophets of the Bible
fought wars too. People to
this day start wars.
Abraham, David and Solomon
had many wives.
9
He married them for many reasons:
• To pass on Islam to the next generations as a practical
legacy.
• To cement the relations of the budding nation; to seal
treaties through marrying into tribes.
• To teach Muslims compassion with women.
• To offer a practical role model to Muslims.
• Many of these women lost their husbands; they
needed support and protection.
10. QURAN DOESN’T DEMAND MUSLIMS TO
KILL NON-MUSLIMS
The Prophet (peace be upon him) started
preaching Islam in Makkah, being only one man
in the midst of a lot of polytheists.
Was it out of fear of being killed that all those
non-Muslims embraced Islam?
Would it have been possible ever since for his
religion to be continuously attracting more people
if it was only out of fear?
10
11. QURAN DOESN’T DEMAND MUSLIMS TO
KILL NON-MUSLIMS (CONTINUED)
Muhammad (peace be upon him) wasn’t trying to
replace the religion of Moses or Jesus Christ. It
was the misinterpretations and distortions that
happened to their religion that he wanted to
replace back to their original authentic teachings.
His mission was to restore the pure religion of
Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus (peace
be upon them all).
For more information read following verses
of the Quran, Surah 42, verses 13 – 15
11
12. QURAN DOESN’T DEMAND MUSLIMS TO
KILL NON-MUSLIMS (CONTINUED)
God in His Book permits fighting, but only as a
last resort:
Fighting in the case of self-defense.
Fighting to defend the right of everyone to believe in
God and practice His religion.
Fighting against brutal oppression and injustice.
12
13. QURAN DOESN’T DEMAND MUSLIMS TO
KILL NON-MUSLIMS (CONTINUED)
The Prophet and his followers were ruthlessly
persecuted and forced out of their homes. When they
were accorded a grand welcome by the people in
Madinah, his enemies wanted to destroy the new
religion that was taking root in the deserts of Arabia
by trying to eliminate the Muslims.
In this context that the verses permits fighting:
{Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you,
but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not
transgressors} (Al-Baqara 2:190)
Islam does not approve the use of force in the
propagation of religion: {Let there be no
compulsion in religion…} (Al-Baqara 2:256)
13
14. LOVE IN ISLAM
{Allah will love you and forgive your sins,
for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.}
(Aal-Imraan 3:31)
{And hold fast, all together, by the rope [the
covenant] which Allah [stretches out for
you], and do not be disunited; and
remember with gratitude Allah’s favor on
you; for you were enemies and He joined
your hearts in love, so that by his Grace,
you became brethren} (Aal-Imraan 3:03)
14
15. LOVE IN ISLAM (CONTINUED)
{On those who believe and work deeds of
righteousness, will the Most Gracious bestow
love.} (Maryam 19:96)
{And among His Signs is this, that He created
for you mates from among yourselves, that
you may dwell in tranquility with them, and
He has put love and mercy between you
[your hearts]; verily in that are signs for
those who reflect.} (Ar-Room 30:21)
15
16. LOVE IN ISLAM -- SAYINGS OF PROPHET
MUHAMMAD
“The Compassionate One has mercy on those who are
merciful. If you show mercy to those who are on the
earth, He Who is in the heaven will show mercy to
you.” (Abu Dawud)
“None of you becomes a believer until he wishes for
his brother what he wishes for himself.” (Al-Bukari)
“Allah will not be merciful to those who are not
merciful to mankind.” (Al-Bukari)
Read about Muhammad and Khadija for the greatest
love story you’ll ever read: Finding Comfort in Love 16
17. THE QURAN
It’s a book of guidance, not a book of science,
history, nor law. Although it has reference to
science, history and law.
It was revealed in different contexts to the
Prophet throughout his 23 years of prophetic
mission, to suit the needs of the developing
Muslim society. Therefore, the context of the
revelations became important in the proper
understanding of the verses.
For proper context of certain verses, one often
has to take into consideration previous and
following verses.
17
18. THE QURAN (CONTINUED)
It was revealed in Arabic language.
We don’t refer to a translation as “the Holy
Quran”
It is only a translation.
A translation by Arberry, Yusuf Ali, etc. is only a
detractor almost invariably depend upon a
convenient translation for their criticisms.
Often the so-called contradiction doesn’t arise in the
original Arabic version.
Arberry himself has mentioned the difficulty of
finding the proper English words and phrases for
conveying the correct meaning of the Quranic verses.
18
19. THE QURAN (CONTINUED)
Parts of the Quran are supported, elaborated and
explicated by other parts.
The best interpreter of the Quran was the
Prophet himself, who received the divine
revelations.
His life itself was a living model of the Quran.
Thus the two sources of Islamic knowledge are:
The Quran.
The Sunnah (the exemplary life of the Prophet).
19
20. THE DIVINITY OF THE QURAN
The Quran is the literal word of God; it wasn’t
written by humans.
He revealed it to Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him) through the Angel Gabriel (peace be
upon him) fourteen centuries ago
It was memorized by Muhammad (peace be upon
him) who dictated it to his companions, who then
wrote it down and many of them memorized it.
20
21. THE DIVINITY OF THE QURAN (CONTINUED)
It was reviewed by Muhammad (peace be upon
him) with the Angel Gabriel (peace be upon him)
once every year and twice in the last year of his
life.
The Quran has been memorized by so many
people and until this day not one letter has been
changed over the centuries.
It mentioned facts that has been discovered by
scientists using advanced equipment and
methods many centuries later.
21
22. THE SCIENTIFIC MIRACLES OF THE
QURAN
The Quran on human embryonic development.
The Quran on mountains.
The Quran on the origin of the universe.
The Quran on the cerebrum.
The Quran on seas and rivers.
The Quran on deep seas and internal waves.
The Quran on clouds.
Scientists comments on the scientific miracles in the
Quran.
22
23. THE QURAN ON HUMAN EMBRYONIC
DEVELOPMENT
The stages of man’s embryonic development:
{We created man from an extract of clay. Then
We made him as a drop in a place of settlement,
firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an
alaqah, then We made the alaqah into a
mudghah} (23:12-14)
Literally, the Arabic word alaqah has three
meanings:
Leech
Suspended thing
Blood clot
The Arabic word mudghah means “chewed
substance” 23
24. THE QURAN ON HUMAN EMBRYONIC
DEVELOPMENT (CONTINUED)
Leech:
The embryo obtains nourishment from the blood of the
mother, similar to the leech, which feeds on the blood of
others (see figure 1 in the next slide).
Suspended thing:
the suspension of the embryo, during the alaqah stage, in
the womb of the mother (see figures 2 and 3 in the next slide).
Blood clot:
The external appearance of the embryo and its sacs during
the alaqah stage is similar to that of a blood clot.
This is due to the presence of relatively large amounts of
blood present in the embryo during this stage.
Also the blood in the embryo does not circulate until the
end of the third week. Thus, the embryo at this stage is
like a clot of blood (see figure 4 in the next slide). 24

26. THE QURAN ON HUMAN EMBRYONIC
DEVELOPMENT (CONTINUED)
The mudghah stage:
Chew a piece of gum then compare it with an embryo
at that stage
You will then see that the embryo looks exactly like a
chewed substance (see figures 5 and 6).
This is because of the somite at the back of the
embryo that “somewhat resemble teeth marks in a
chewed substance.”

26
27. THE QURAN ON HUMAN EMBRYONIC
DEVELOPMENT (CONTINUED)
Aristotle was the founder of the science of embryology
as he discovered that chick embryos developed in
stages back in the fourth century B.C.
Little was known about the staging and classification
of human embryos until the 20th century.
Hamm and Leeuwenhock were the first scientist to
observe human sperm cells (spermatozoa) in 1677 –
more than 1000 years after Muhammad.
The only reasonable conclusion is: the descriptions in
the Quran were revealed to Muhammad (peace be
upon him) from God. He could not have known such
details with absolutely no scientific training or
advanced technology. 27
28. THE QURAN ON MOUNTAINS
Earth is a book used in many universities all over
the world.
One of its two authors is Professor Emeritus
Frank Press.
He was the Science Advisor to former US
President Jimmy Carter, and for 12 years was
the President of the National Academy of
Sciences, Washington, DC.
28
29. THE QURAN ON MOUNTAINS (CONTINUED)
His book says that mountains have underlying
roots that are embedded in the ground, thus,
mountains have a shape like a peg. (see figures 7, 8 and 9)
God has said in the Quran:
{Have We not made the earth as a bed, and the
mountains as pegs?} {78:6-7}
Figure7
Figure 8
Figure 9
29
30. THE QURAN ON MOUNTAINS (CONTINUED)
Modern earth sciences have proven that
mountains have deep roots under the surface of
the ground (see figure 9) and that these roots can
reach several times their elevations above the
surface of the ground.
Most of a properly set peg is hidden under the
surface of the ground, that’s why the most
suitable word to describe mountains on the basis
of this information is the word ‘peg.’
The history of science tells us that the theory of
mountains having deep roots was introduced only
in 1865 by the Astronomer Royal, Sir George Airy 30
31. THE QURAN ON MOUNTAINS (CONTINUED)
Mountains also play an important role in
stabilizing the crust of the earth.
They hinder the shaking of the earth.
God has said in the Quran:
{And He has set firm mountains in the earth so
that it would not shake with you.} (16:15)
The theory of plate tectonics states that
mountains work as stabilizers for the earth.
Knowledge about mountains being stabilizers to
the earth under the framework of plate tectonics
began in the late 1960s.
31
32. THE QURAN ON THE ORIGIN OF
THE UNIVERSE
The science of modern cosmology (observational
and theoretical) clearly indicates that at one
point the whole universe was nothing but a cloud
of ‘smoke’ (i.e. an opaque highly dense and hot
gaseous composition)
Scientists now can observe new stars forming out
of the remnants of that ‘smoke’ (see figures 10 and 11).
The illuminating stars we see at night were, just
as was the whole universe, in that ‘smoke’
material.
32
33. THE QURAN ON THE ORIGIN OF
THE UNIVERSE (CONTINUED)
God has said in the Quran:
{Then He turned to the heaven when it was
smoke.} (41:11)
Since the earth and the heavens (sun, moon,
stars, planets, galaxies, etc) have been formed
from this same ‘smoke,’ we conclude that the
earth and the heavens were one connected entity.
Then out of this homogeneous smoke, they
formed and separated from each other.
The Quran states:
{Have not those who disbelieved known that
the heavens and the earth were one connected
entity, then We separated them?} (21:30) 33
34. THE QURAN ON THE ORIGIN OF
THE UNIVERSE (CONTINUED)
Figure 10:
A new star forming out of a cloud
of gas and dust (nebula), which is
one of the remnants of the smoke
that was the origin of the whole universe.
(The Space Atlas, Heather and Henbest, p. 50)
Figure 11:
The Lagoon nebula is a cloud of gas and dust,
about 60 light years in diameter. It’s excited by the
ultraviolet radiation of the hot stars that have
recently formed within its bulk.

plate 9, from Association of Universities
of Research in Astronomy, Inc)
34
35. THE QURAN ON THE CEREBRUM
God has said in the Quran about one of the evil
unbelievers who forbade the Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him) from praying at the Kaaba:
{No! If he does not stop, We will take him by the
naseyah [front of the head], a lying, sinful
naseyah!} (96:15-16)
Why did the Quran describe the front of the head
as being lying and sinful?
Why didn’t God say that the person was lying
and sinful?
What is the relationship between the front of the
head and lying and sinfulness? 35
36. THE QURAN ON THE CEREBRUM (CONTINUED)
The prefrontal area of the cerebrum is located on
the front of the head.
What does physiology tell us about the function
of the front of the head? (see figure 12).
Figure 12:
Functional regions of the left hemisphere of the cerebral cortex.
The prefrontal area is located at the front of the cerebral cortex.
(Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology, Seeley and others, p. 210
36
37. THE QURAN ON THE CEREBRUM (CONTINUED)
A book called Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology
says:
“The motivation and the foresight to plan and initiate
movements occur in the anterior portion of the frontal
lobes, the prefrontal area. This is a region of association
cortex.”
“In relation to its involvement in motivation, the prefrontal
area is also thought to be the functional center for
aggression.”
This area of the cerebrum is responsible for:
Planning
Motivating
Initiating good and bad behaviors
Speaking of truth and telling lies
That’s why it’s proper to describe the front of the head
as lying and sinful when someone lies or commits a
sin.
37
38. THE QURAN ON SEAS AND RIVERS
Modern science has discovered that in the place
where two different seas meet, there is a barrier
between them.
This barrier divides the two seas so that each sea
has its own temperature, salinity, and density.
Mediterranean sea water is warm, saline, and
less dense, compared to Atlantic ocean water.
38
39. THE QURAN ON SEAS AND RIVERS (CONTINUED)
When Mediterranean sea water enters the
Atlantic over the Gibraltar sill, it moves several
hundred kilometers into the Atlantic at a depth
of about 1000 meters with its own warm, saline,
and less dense characteristics.
The Mediterranean water stabilizes at this depth
(see figure 13).
Figure 13:
(Marine Geology,
Kuenen, p. 43)
39
40. THE QURAN ON SEAS AND RIVERS (CONTINUED)
Although there are large waves, strong currents,
and tides in these seas, they do not mix or
transgress this barrier.
The Holy Quran mentioned that there is a
barrier between two seas that meet and that they
do not transgress. God has said:
{He has set free the two seas meeting together.
There is a barrier between them. They do not
transgress.} (55: 19-20)
40
41. THE QURAN ON SEAS AND RIVERS (CONTINUED)
But when the Quran speaks about the divider
between fresh and salt water, it mentions the
existence of “a forbidding partition” with the
barrier. God has said in the Quran:
{He is the one who has set free the two kinds of
water, one sweet and palatable, and the other
salty and bitter. And He has made between
them a barrier and a forbidding partition.}
(25:53)
One may ask, why did the Quran mention the
partition when speaking about the divider
between fresh and salt water, but did not
mention it when speaking about the divider
between the two seas? 41
42. THE QURAN ON SEAS AND RIVERS (CONTINUED)
Modern science has discovered that in estuaries,
where fresh and salt water meet, the situation is
different from what is found in places where two
seas meet.
It has been discovered that what distinguishes
fresh water from salt water in estuaries is a
pycnocline zone with a marked density
discontinuity separating the two layers.
This partition (zone of separation) has a different
salinity from the fresh water and from the salt
water (see figure 14).
42
43. THE QURAN ON SEAS AND RIVERS (CONTINUED)
This information has been discovered using
advanced equipment to measure temperature,
salinity, density, oxygen dissolubility, etc.
The human eye cannot see the division of water
in estuaries into the three kinds: fresh water, salt
water, and the partition (zone of separation).
Figure 14: Longitudinal section showing salinity (parts per thousand %)
in an estuary. We can see here the partition (zone of separation) between the
fresh and the salt water. (Introductory Oceanography, Thurman, p. 301)
43
44. THE QURAN ON DEEP SEAS AND
INTERNAL WAVES
God has said:
{Or [the unbelievers’ state] is like the darkness
in a deep sea. It is covered by waves, above
which are waves, above which are clouds.
Darkness, one above another. If a man
stretches out his hand, he cannot see it.} (24:40)
This verse mentions the darkness found in deep
seas and oceans, where if a man stretches out his
hand, he can’t see it.
The darkness is found around a depth of 200
meters and below; there’s almost no light.
44
45. THE QURAN ON DEEP SEAS AND
INTERNAL WAVES (CONTINUED)
We can understand from this verse “… In a deep
sea. It’s covered by waves, above which are waves,
above which are clouds…” the following:
Deep waters of seas and oceans are covered by waves,
and above these waves are other waves.
The second set of waves are surface waves that we
see, because the verse mentions clouds above them.
What about the first set of waves?
45
46. THE QURAN ON DEEP SEAS AND
INTERNAL WAVES (CONTINUED)
Scientists have discovered:
Internal waves occur on density interfaces between
layers of different densities (see figure 15).
The internal waves cover the deep waters of seas and
oceans because the deep waters have a higher density
than the waters above them.
They’re just like the surface waves; they can also
break.
They cannot be seen by
human eyes.
They can be detected by
studying temperature or
salinity changes at a given
location.
Figure 15
46
47. THE QURAN ON CLOUDS
There are different types of clouds.
Rain clouds are formed and shaped according to
definite systems and certain steps connected with
certain types of wind and clouds.
One kind of rain cloud is the cumulonimbus
cloud.
47
48. THE QURAN ON CLOUDS (CONTINUED)
Scientists have found that cumulonimbus clouds go
through certain steps to produce rain,
hail and lightning:
The clouds are pushed by the wind.
Joining: the small clouds join together forming
a bigger cloud.
Stacking:
When small clouds join together, updrafts within the larger
cloud increase.
These updrafts cause the cloud body to grow vertically, so the
cloud is stacked up (see figure 16).
Vertical growth causes the cloud body to stretch into cooler
regions of the atmosphere, where drops of water/hail formulate.
When the drops of water/hail become too heavy for the updrafts
to support, they begin to fall.
Figure16
48
49. THE QURAN ON CLOUDS (CONTINUED)
God has said in the Quran:
{Have you not seen how God makes the clouds
move gently, then joins them together, then
makes them into a stack, and then you see the
rain come out of it?} (24:43)
Meteorologists have discovered these details of
cloud formation by using advanced equipments:
To study wind and its direction
To measure humidity and its variations
To determine the levels and variations of
atmospheric pressure.
49
50. THE QURAN ON CLOUDS (CONTINUED)
The verse after that mentions hail and lightning:
{And He sends down hail from mountain
[clouds] in the sky, and He strikes with it
whomever He wills, and turns it from
whomever He wills. The vivid flash of lightning
nearly blinds the sight.} (24:43)
Meteorologists found out that cumulonimbus
clouds that produce hail reach a height of 25,000
to 30,000 ft like mountains.
You may wonder:
Why does the verse say “He strikes with it whomever
He wills” in reference to the hail?
Does this mean hail is a major factor in producing
lightning? 50
51. THE QURAN ON CLOUDS (CONTINUED)
A book called Meteorology Today says that a
cloud becomes electrified as hail falls through a
region in the cloud of super-cooled droplets and
ice crystals.
When liquid droplets collide with a hailstone,
they freeze on contact and release latent heat.
This keeps the surface of the hailstone warmer
than that of the surrounding ice crystals.
When the hailstone comes in contact with an ice
crystal, an important phenomenon occurs:
electrons flow from the colder object toward the
warmer object – hailstones become negatively
charged. 51
52. THE QURAN ON CLOUDS (CONTINUED)
The hail, left with a negative charge, falls
towards the bottom of the cloud, thus the lower
part of the cloud becomes negatively charged.
These negative charges are then discharged as
lightning.
We can clearly see how hail is a major factor in
producing lightning.
52
53. THE QURAN ON CLOUDS (CONTINUED)
Aristotle’s ideas on meteorology were major back
in 1600 AD – he said that atmosphere contains
two kinds of exhalation; moist and dry.
He also said that:
Thunder is the sound of the collision of the dry
exhalation with the neighboring clouds.
Lightning is the inflaming and burning of the dry
exhalation with a thin and faint fire.
How could have Muhammad (peace be upon him)
known that hail is a main factor in creating
lightning? Or any other information mentioned
earlier?! 53

56
57. THE QURAN MENTIONING FUTURE
EVENTS WHICH CAME TO PASS
The book entitled History of the Byzantine State
says that the Roman army was badly defeated by
the Persian army at Antioch in 613.
That’s when Persians swiftly pushed forward on
all fronts.
Nine years later, in 622, the Romans were
victorious against Persians when they met on
Armenian soil.
God has said in the Quran:
{The Roman have been defeated in the nearest
land [to the Arabian Peninsula], and they, after
their defeat will be victorious within bedd’ [3 to
9] years.} (20:2-4) 57
58. SIX ARTICLES OF FAITH
1. Belief in Allah.
2. Belief in His angels.
3. Belief in His prophets.
4. Belief in His revealed Books.
5. Belief in the divine decree.
6. Belief in the Day of Judgment.
{Righteousness is not that you turn your faces to
the East and West [in Prayer], but righteousness
is of the one who believes in Allah, the Last Day,
the Angels, the Books and the Prophets.} (Al-
Baqara 2:177) 58
59. FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM
1. Faith of belief in the Oneness of God and the finality
of the prophet-hood of Muhammad (Shahadah).
2. Establishment of the five daily prayers (Salah).
3. Concern for and almsgiving to the needy (Zakah).
4. Self purification through fasting (Sawm Ramadan).
5. The pilgrimage to Makkah once in a lifetime for those
who are able (Hajj).
59
60. SOME IDEAS AND STEPS TO TAKE
Do the following with an OPEN HEART and a
CLEAR MIND:
Try going to a mosque (don’t worry, remember that
Islam is a peaceful religion; you will be welcomed!):
Check the atmosphere.
Allow the atmosphere of the place to speak to you.
This can be done in the privacy of your own home:
Go to bed early, and set your alarm at around 4am (Allah
tells us that at this time of the night He descends to the
lowest of the seven heavens and actively seeks out those
who want to speak to Him).
Take a shower, sit quietly in the silence of your home
(bedroom or anywhere)
Reach out to God, say whatever you feel. 60
61. SOME IDEAS AND STEPS TO TAKE (CONTINUED)
You might not find the answer you’re looking for.
It can be a sign.
It can be a feeling.
You can find peace of mind.
For example: if you’re doing this because you love
someone; then you might find that person somehow
closer to you, or more loving, considerate, or caring.
It might not happen THAT night.
Be patient, and keep your heart and mind clear.
61
62. HOW TO KNOW YOUR QUEST IS OVER
It is different from one person to another;
some people are drawn to Islam through:
Science
Beauty of Nature
Places or Events
Listening or Reading
Feel it in your Heart
You should accept Islam for its message and not
to please someone else.
A religion should be something between you and
God, no one else should interfere. 62

64. ONCE YOU ACCEPT ISLAM
All past sins are wiped out.
Bad deeds will be replaced with good deeds provided
one fulfills Allah’s requirements.
{And give glad tidings to those who believe and do
righteous good deeds that for them will be gardens
under which rivers flow [Paradise]} (Al-Baqara,
Chapter 2, Verse 25)
{His/her torment shall be doubled for him/her on the
Day of Resurrection, and he/she will abide in it in
ignominy – unless he/she repents and believes and
does righteous works. For such, Allah will change
their evil deeds into good deeds. Allah is forever
forgiving, most compassionate. Whosoever repents
and does good, he/she return to Allah in the manner
that he/she should.} (Al-Furqan, Chapter 25 Verse 67-71) 64
65. ONCE YOU ACCEPT ISLAM (CONTINUED)
Allah multiplies our good deeds.
He minimizes our bad deeds. The Prophet (peace
be upon him) once said:
“He who has intended a good deed and has not done
it, Allah writes it down as a full good deed. But if he
has intended it and has done it, Allah writes it down
as from ten good deeds to seven hundred times, or
many times over. If he has intended a bad deed and
has not done it, Allah writes it as a full good deed.
But if he has intended it and has done it, Allah writes
it down as one bad deed.”
