But…
What Drives People to Convert to Islam??!!
This is an extract from Dr. Gronier, a French MP, who embraced Islam.
Revealing the reason of embracing Islam he said, I read all of the
Ayat (Quranic verses), which have a relation to medical, health, and
natural sciences that I studied before and have a wide knowledge of. I
found that these verses are totally compatible with and give a picture
of our modern sciences. Thus, I embraced Islam as it was obvious that
Muhammad revealed the Absolute Truth more than a thousand years ago.
Had every specialist, artist or scientist compared those Quranic
verses to his own specialization, beyond the shadow of doubt he would
embrace Islam, especially if he has a sound mentality and goodwill to
search for the truth...."
, Dr. Maurice Bucaille wrote in his book-'The Bible, the Qur'an and
Science':
"I could not find a single error in the Qur'an…if a man was the author
of the Qur'an how could he have written facts in the 7th century A.D.
that today are shown to be in keeping with modern scientific
knowledge"
Canon Taylor, Paper read before the Church Congress at Walverhamton,
Oct. 7, 1887, Quoted by Arnond in The Preaching of Islam, pp. 71-72:
“It (Islam) replaced monkishness by manliness. It gives hope to the
slave, brotherhood to mankind, and recognition of the fundamental
facts of human nature.”
Sarojini Naidu, Lectures on “The Ideals of Islam”, see Speeches and
Writings of Sarojini Naidu, Madras, 1918, p. 167:
“Sense of justice is one of the most wonderful ideals of Islam,
because as I read in the Qur’an I find those dynamic principles of
life, not mystic but practical ethics for the daily conduct of life
suited to the whole world.”
Perhaps other religions do not answer the big questions of life, such
as “Who made us?” and “Why are we here?” Perhaps other religions do
not reconcile the injustices of life with a fair and just Creator.
Idris Tawfiq, Catholic Priest, UK says:
“Like all Britons, my knowledge about Muslims up to that time didn’t
exceed what I heard from the TV about suicide bombers and fighters,
which gave the impression that Islam is a religion of troubles.
However, getting into Cairo I discovered how beautiful this religion
is. Very simple people selling goods on the street would abandon
their trade and direct their face to Allah and pray the moment they
heard the call to prayer from the mosque. They have a strong faith in
the presence and will of Allah. They pray, fast, help the needy and
dream to have a trip to Mecca with the hope of living in heaven in the
hereafter,” he said.
Colonel Donald S. Rockwell, Poet and Critic, USA says:
The broadminded tolerance of Islam for other religions recommends it
to all lovers of liberty. Muhammad admonished his followers to treat
well the believers in the Old and New Testaments; Abraham, Moses and
Jesus are acknowledged as co-prophets of the One God. Surely this is
generous and far in advance of the attitude of other religions.
The total freedom from idolatry ... is a sign of the salubrious
strength and purity of the Muslim faith.
The democracy of Islam has always appealed to me. Potentate and
pauper have the same rights on the floor of the mosque,
The Muslim accepts no man as a mediator between himself and his God.
He goes direct to the invisible source of creation and life, God,
without reliance on saving formula of repentance of sins and belief in
the power of a teacher to afford him salvation.
The universal brotherhood of Islam, regardless of race, politics,
color or country, has been brought home to me most keenly many times
in my life and this is another feature which drew me towards the
Faith.
Wilfried Hofmann, German Social Scientist and Diplomat says:
found it difficult to accept that mankind is burdened with the
“original sin” and that God had to have his own son tortured and
murdered on the cross in order to save his own creations. “I began to
realize how monstrous, even blasphemous it is to imagine that God
could have been fallen short in his creation; that he could have been
unable to do anything about the disaster supposedly caused by Adam and
Eve without begetting a son, only to have him sacrificed in such a
bloody fashion;
But what contains the truth – Judeo-Christian ******ures or Islam?
found the answer to this question in his third crucial experience
when he came across the following verse of the Quran:is verse opened
up his eyes and provided the answer to his dilemma. Clearly and
unambiguously for him, it rejected the ideas of the burden of
“original sin” and the expectation of “intercession” by the saints.
“A Muslim lives in a world without clergy and without religious
hierarchy; when he prays he does not pray via Jesus, Mary, or other
interceding saints, but directly to God – as a fully emancipated
believer – and this is a religion free of mysteries.” According to
Hofmann, “A Muslim is the emancipated believer par excellence.”
“I began to see Islam with its own eyes, as the unadulterated,
pristine belief in the one and only, the true God, Who does not beget,
and was not begotten, Whom nothing and nobody resembles … In place of
the qualified deism of a tribal God and the constructions of a divine
Trinity, the Quran showed me the most lucid, most straightforward, the
most abstract - thus historically most advanced – and least
anthropomorphic concept of God.”
“The Quran’s ontological statements, as well as its ethical teachings,
impressed me as profoundly plausible, “as good as gold,” so there was
no room for even the slightest doubt about the authenticity of
Muhammad’s prophetic mission.
Sue Watson, Professor, Pastor, Church Planter and Missionary says:

seeing that what we had been taught about Islam is that it is Demonic
and Satanic religion.. It was the first time I had ever read a book
about Islam written by a Muslim, we had studied and read books about
Islam only written by Christians..This went on everyday for a week, by
which time I had read twelve books
My other important question centered on Muhammad [may the mercy and
blessings of God be upon him]. Who is this Muhammad? I found out
that Muslims do not pray to him like the Christians pray to Jesus.
after having spent eight (8) years of formal theological studies, I
knew cognitively (head knowledge) that Islam was true.
Kristin, Ex-Catholic, USA says: I didn’t accept some Catholic
practices including:
Confessions to a priest: I thought why couldn’t I just confess **
to God without having to go through a man to get to Him?
The “Perfect” Pope- How can a mere man, not even a prophet, be **
perfect?!
The worship of saints- wasn’t this a direct violation of the **
first commandment?
Now I can see the wisdom of God…for letting me explore Judaism and
Christianity so thoroughly before I found Islam, so I could compare
them all and realize that NOTHING compares to Islam.
From that point on I kept researching Islam. I approached it by
looking for inconsistencies as I had done with Judaism and
Christianity, but there wasn’t any to be found. I scoured the Quran,
searching for any discrepancy; even to this day I haven’t been able to
find ONE inconsistency in it! Another great thing I love about the
Quran is it challenges the reader to question it. It says about
itself that if it wasn’t from God surely you would find a lot of
inconsistency in it! Not only was Islam free of inconsistencies, it
had an answer for any question I could think of - an answer that made
sense.
