Common Misconceptions about Islām

In the Name of Allāh, The Beneficent, The Merciful Misconception #1: Muslims Worship a Different God First of all, there is only One God who created the Universe and all of mankind. Throughout history, people have created false gods in their minds and come up with false ideas about Almighty God, but regardless of this there is still only One True God – and He alone is worthy of worship. Unfortunately, some non-Muslims have come to incorrectly believe that Muslims worship a different God than Jews and Christians. This might be due to the fact that Muslims sometimes refer to God...

Why Allāh Sent Prophets and Messengers

In the Name of Allāh, The Beneficent, The Merciful Ever since people innovated the dogma of joining others in worship along with Allāh, Allāh had been sending Prophets and Messengers to His devotees in order to invite them to the worship of Allāh and Allāh Alone, to order them not to ascribe partners unto Him and bring them out of the darkness of polytheism and into the light of Monotheism. All the Prophets preached the belief in the Oneness of Allāh. The following verses from the Noble Qurʾān illustrate this fact: “Indeed, We sent Nooh (Noah) to his people and he said:...

Muḥammad: A Witness, Bearer of Glad-Tidings and a Warner

In the Name of Allāh, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful “And (remember) when Jesus, son of Mary, said: “O Children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allāh unto you, confirming the Torah (which came) before me, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Aḥmad. But when he (Aḥmad i.e. Muḥammad) came to them with clear proofs, they said: “This is plain magic.” (The Noble Qur’an 61:6) “We have not sent thee (O Muḥammad) except as a universal (Messenger) to men giving them glad tidings and warning them (against...

Aaron (Hārūn) Eugene Nichols (USA)

Convert Finds Peace in Islām Aaron Nichols looked into religion after Sept. 11By Andre Briscoe (Herald Staff Writer) In the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, Aaron Eugene Nichols, then 17, did what many in the United States couldn’t think of doing: He embraced Islām. “I wanted to know both sides of the story. I wasn’t just going to believe what I heard on TV,” said Nichols, now 21, who has changed his name to Hārūn, Arabic for Aaron. “Everybody was saying how Islām and Muslims were terrorists, so I wanted to find out for myself. I was taught to think...

Raha Batts (USA)

A Letter from a Muslim Convert in Prison It’s been said that instead of saying, “All praise is for Allāh who has guided us to Islām” we should say, “All praise is for Allāh who has guided us to Islām and the Sunnah,” because many have entered into Islām, but have left the Sunnah in terms of ʿaqīdah (creed), ʿibādah (worship), and character. My journey to correct Islām was truly one of trial and error. Having grown up in the streets of Baltimore, Maryland, like many misguided youth, I aspired to be no more than one of three things: an athlete, a rapper or a gangster. Without proper...

The Likeness of Jesus Is the Likeness of Ādām

In the Name of Allāh, The Beneficent, The Merciful The saying of Allāh the Elevated: {Indeed the likeness of ʿĪsá (Jesus) before Allāh is as the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: “Be!” – and he was. The truth from your Lord, so be not of those who doubt.} [Āl ʿImrān: 59-60] ʿĪsá, son of Maryam [Jesus, son of Mary], may prayers and peace be upon him, is a servant and messenger of Allāh in the Islamic legislation, the Word of Allāh that He bestowed upon Maryam and a Rooh – spirit from Him. He is a servant [of Allāh] who must...
