The Call to Islam | iii

“When Allah’s help and victory
come (when you O Muhammad

succeeded in conquering
Makkah),

And you see men embrace
Allah’s religion in multitudes,

Celebrate the praise of your
Lord, and seek His Forgiveness.

For, He is ever disposed to
mercy.”

(an-Nasr: 1-3)

 What have I really found in Islam? What is the most
important thing for me? What Muslims for the Muslim world
do not understand about converts in this: Muslim already  come
with a sense of  ‘tawakkal’, a sense of  trust in Allah SWT. People
from the West, people who have been brought up with attitudes
other than that do not necessarily have that immediately. Muslims
who are born Muslims are generous, They have it as a reflect
reaction. But we do not have the same virtues so we want to be
like Muslims. And this is something really very special.

If you don’t understand
what Allah SWT is doing

when a trial comes,
at least go into

neutral and wait
and see!

The Call to Islam | 25

Say (O Muhammad): “He is Allah, (the) one, Allah the
Self-sufficient Lord, Whom all creatures ask for all their needs.

He begets none, nor is He begotten, and none
is equal to Him.”

(al-Ikhlas: 1-3)

CHAPTER  4

In this chapter we learn that everything is dependent on Allah
SWT, and He is dependent on no one. Everything is relying On
Him for life, for sustenance and He is not relying on anyone.
It say that, “He gave not birth nor was He born”. We cannot
imagine Allah SWT in human form or any form because it
says” And there is nothing similar to Him. “That is the heart
of  Islam. When you come to Islam, you learn first who is
God. It corrects all the misconceptions and guide you to the
truth of  your Creator. That cannot be done just simply by

us sitting down and coming to some agreement about God.
This must have come by permission of  Allah SWT. One of
the most unique features of  Islam is the fact that God has
preserved this Message, this revelation, this teaching in the
book that we call the Qur’an.

The Call to Islam | 27

  There is no book coming after the Qur’an. This is the
preserved word of  Allah SWT to all of  His creation. Allah
SWT says that in the Qur’an is sure  guidance. It is not the
guess work of  a philosopher. It is not the guess work of  a
learned man. It is pure knowledge, pure revelation coming from
the one that we call ‘Alim,’ the One who is all Knowing. The
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing upon the messenger
of  God), established the all right way that we should worship
Allah according to the Qur’an.

  The Prophet was the ‘walking Qur’an.’ Aishah (may Allah
be pleased with her) was asked what the character of  Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him)?  She said, he was the walking
Qur’an. Not only did he express the messsage verbally, but he
lived the Qur’an. He was  a perfect human being. Yes,  he was
the best of  Allah SWT creations. Not only is the best of  Allah
SWT creation, but Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) he
is the liberator, he is the Messenger, he is the guide and mercy
of  Allah SWT. Not just for fourteen hundred years ago, not
just for today, but as long as man exiss on this planet. Prophet
Muhammad SAW is the leader for all times.

way chosen for mankind by Allah SWT. Therefore, there can be no
adverse side effects. In Islam is the choice of  people who want to find
peace, prosperity, tranquillity, good in this life and in the life of  the world
to come.

Saturday or Sunday. For the Muslims, everyday is a day of
worship of  Allah SWT and obedience to Allah SWT, obedience

to the Qur’an and obedience to the Prophet Muhammad (peace
be upon him).
