It is true that what have been said about Islam of lies was extremely exaggerated, testified by many of fair non-Muslims through oral and written waysthe British Minister who said: “ Nobody . One of them is was ever exposed to deformation like Mohammed did.” Some of them even praised the ethics and values of Islam in different aspects, but we must admit and recognize the behaviors of the majority of Muslims in terms of manners, treatments and even the acts of worship that nobody accepts. We could not blame him who recently embraced Islam and came to perform Hajj when he said:“ Thank God that He has introduced me to Islam before Muslims.” But even though, there are many many people embracing Islam after what they have heard and saw about Islam because they chose the path of truth and safety, and rathered to follow the core of Islam. Here are what some of them said: -

“ Ibrahim Khalil Ahmad”, an Egyptian missionary priest who carries high degrees in theology from the Egyptian School of Theology, and from Brenston University in America. He says: “ This prophet is forever associated with miracles as Jesus (peace is upon him) tells us when he says: (and he informs you with up-coming events.) This miracle is the Holy Quran: the continuing miracle of the Prophet (S.AA.S). The Holy Quran is ahead of the modern science in its various fields: medicine, astronomy, geography, geology, law, sociology, and History. In these days, scientists are able to prove what the Quran had shown before by definition and explanation...” He also says: “ Islam is the religion of logic and understanding. It did not make mediators between God and people, and it did not leave the degrees of people to the mercy of individuals among them.”

"Dr. Douglas Arsher", from Jamaica, is the director of an educational Institute. He says: “My doctorate research was about raising and building this Umma (nation). It helped me realize what this Umma needs for establishing its social, economic, political, and spiritual structure. I discovered that the essential elements of Islam give a great and valuable foundation to restore the structure of Umma socially, economically, and spiritually.” He adds: “If the Islam was to be presented to people in a good way, many problems could have been solved and it would fulfill the social, spiritual, and political needs for those who live under the shade of capitalism as well as communism.”

"Dr. Ali Salman Buno" is a French doctor. He says: “I embraced Islam, in the beginning, for reasons beyond the nature. However, there were also other reasons that made me do that. For instance, I used to deny what the monks used to say about themselves that they have the authority of forgiveness in substitution to Allah Almighty.”

"Dipora Boter", an American who graduated from the branch of journalism in the University of Michigan. She says: “Upon the completion of the Holy Quran, I deeply felt that it is the truth which contained the definite answers for the issues of creation and other. It gives us the events in a logical way, which we find unique from the other religioubooks. The Quran talks about it in a wonderful order and a convincing way that makes the reader undoubtful that this is the reality and this speech is definitely from Allah.” She adds: “People in Europe and America are willing to accept Islam because they are longing for the peace of mind and spirit. In fact, a number orientalists and Christian missionaries who started their campaigns determined to destroy Islam and show its so-called weaknesses became Muslims themselves, and that is just because the truth has an irrefragable proves that can no way be denied.”

"Koofhi Lal Jaba" from Lahore, a politician and a journalist. He says: “Islam is the best religion for humanity. Islam penetrates into the Muslim’s life in all of its details. Rather, it exclusively interferes with the activities of the Muslim, and there is no religion other than Islam which has the ability to solve most of the people’s problems in the modern age, and this is the advantage of Islam.”

"Henry Di Kastry", a lieutenant colonel in the French army. He says: “Indeed, one may wonder how could these verses be brought by an illiterate man when the entire east admitted that they are verses which no human could bring such verses neither literally nor meaningfully.” He adds: “ I read the history and I formed an opinion, afterwards, that the treatment of Muslims to the Christians shows promotion in the social relations rather than rudeness and shows a good harmony and a kind courtesy which is a feeling that was recognized only in Muslims at the time.” and “ We think that by exploring the present situation of this religion, their claim about this religion being spread only by sword is defeated. If Mohammed’s religion was spread through violence and compulsion, the spreading should have been stopped by now when all the conquests are over. Ironically, we see that the Quran is continuing to spread out its wings throughout the world.” "

"Nagimo Piamoni", a missionary from Ghana, says: “I am certain that Islam supports its principles and instructions by logical arguments in contrast with the other religions. Thus, despite the huge efforts that the various other religions are putting, they are completely unable to compete with Islam, not to mention how it settles in the hearts of people. It is also recognizable that all of the other movements are in constant decrease in front of the greatness of Islam.”

"Kat Stevens", the famous British singer from an Austrian origin, says: “ In that part of my life, it appeared to me that I have achieved all the success, popularity, money and women that I have ever been longing for. However, I was like a monkey jumping from tree to another, and I was never satisfied. The reading of Quran was like a confirmation of something inside me I actually used to see. It was like facing my real personality.”

"Dr. Ahmad Naseam Sosah", a researcher and engineer from Iraq, a member of the Scientific Academy in Iraq. He was Jewish then he embraced Islam influenced by the Holy Quran. He says: “..The fact that the books of Jews have been altered is something that most of the scholars in this age agree on as a result of the studying and the investigation. This came as a scientific proof to the sayings of God that were revealed some 13 centuries ago to the gracious Prophet (S.A.A.S).” He adds: “ The Jews found safety and justice under the shade of Islam which they used to protect themselves from oppression and invasion and it has been several centuries of benefit and welfare for them.” and “ I think that if Islam was to have as much advertising and missionary work in America as the Christianity, its flag would have been flapping today in most of the regions in this wide countries, and it would have had lots of support unlike what is known about the failure of the Christine missionary work.”

"Basheer Ahmad Shad", an Indian missionary. He says: “ The question that worried me is that we, as Christens, claim that Islam was spread by sword. I then asked myself why did people- and still are- embracing Islam throughout the world? Why are people being guided to this religion every day in all over the world without being forced or compelled to do so?”

"Liobold Fays", an Austrian thinker and journalist, says: “ The westerners’ ways (to prevent the expansion of Islam) are not restricted to the political field only, but they go on to cover the educational side as well through the western schools in the Islamic world, and through the national schools for Muslims that have western–based curriculums which are built to raise doubts about Islam in the growing generations of the Muslims Youth as a social theory in a very organized and a routine way.” and “ the Islamic life appears in these days, however, to be far away from the model possibilities given by the religious instructions in Islam. For instance, all of what was considered in Islam as development and vitality is now replaced among Muslims with slackness and stagnancy, and all of was considered in Islam as generosity and preference became today narrow-mindedness and a love for the worthless life.” and: “ The spiritual and social side of Islam is still, despite the obstacles that the backwardness of Muslims created, the greatest encouraging force the humanity has ever known.” He adds: “It should be clear to us that the negligence of Muslims – and not the lack of Islamic instructions – is the cause of the present breakup.”

"Dr. Arthur Keen", an American philosopher, says: “ I used to withdraw with myself and read in eagerness and understanding everything that my hands get on of various religious books, and I used to study them thoroughly and deeply for a period lasted 10 full years. Finally, I came to a conclusion and reached the fact that I have ever been looking for, and that is I am going to embrace Islam and become a Muslim. I concluded that the religion of Islam is the religion of sense and logic, and it is the religion of this world and the Hereafter, and it’s also the religion of materiality and soul in the time.” He adds: “ I searched for a long time in the secret of existence and I went further in my researches by rights of my studies of philosophy and psychology, and I found out that Islam is the closest of the religions to the heaven and the soul. Thus, my conviction of this Holy religion which I chose and believed in was verified.”

"Professor Haroon Mustafa Leon", an Englishman, says: “One of the beauties of Islam is that it is based on logic and it does not require its followers to abolish this God gift, unlike the other religions which insist on their followers to accept certain principles without thinking or questioning them and it imposes these principles by the authority of Church. As for Islam, it loves searching and questioning and encourages its followers to study and investigate in the facts and consider before believing.”

"Muna Abdullah Maclosky", a German working as a consul for its country, says: “ Woman has regained its freedom under the shade of Islam and acquired a distinguished position. Islam considers women equivalent to men, and each one of them is complementary to the other.” She adds: “ Islam demands the education of woman because she is like a school to her children. The Messenger of God said: “ Seeking knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim man and woman.” Islam has granted woman the freedom to possess and the freedom to do whatever she wants with her possessions. We see that the European woman was deprived of all of these rights until a very recent time, and we find that Islam has given woman, in addition to what have been stated, the right to approve the marriage agreement. The dowry in Islam’s consideration is a personal right for woman. Woman in Islam enjoys the freedom of thinking and expression.”

"Wagnrem", a Dutch youth, declared his Islam after a detailed study which took most of his time and thought. He says:

“Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam” (Quran 3:19)

“And We have not sent you except comprehensively
to mankind as a bringer of good tidings and a warner.”
(Quran 34:28)

These great verses influenced me the most because they imply the universal characteof Islam, not to mention its systematic and other legislative features, and its full declaration of the reality of the Prophet Jesus – peace be upon him -. Is there any stronger or more truthful than these liberated instructions which tells us to respect all of what the Messengers and Prophets came with? Indeed, the religion of Islam is the religion of truthfulness, honesty and proof.”

We should stop now and look at the situation of these great figures who declared their Islam. Do you think that they were looking for an increase in popularity or position after all of what the Muslims have declined to or that they rathered the following of the righteous religion wherever it came from? They chose Islam not caring about the side effects in their social positions or scientific popularity that might occur as a result of their following to Islam. These scholars and great figures paved the way of embracing Islam for you after the detailed study and compression and verification. So do not hesitate if the popularity, position, or social status prevent you from declaring your Islam because you are leaving this world regardless of the positions you reach and you shall forget as those who are like you or better than you did. If this life was to remain for others, it would not have reached you.
