assalamu alaikum,

I was blessed by Allah to experience a few ppl coming to Islam, masha Allah.

One young woman i met was very sick, and was staying in a "natural medicine" type of hospital that i too was visiting with my then sick husband (may Allah have mercy on his soul..ameen). This particular hospital was in Indonesia.

Anyhow, i would see this woman everyday (not knowing if she spoke any english) i would smile to her, then wave, then i opened up a small converstaion with her. Before i knew it, we were becoming so close.

I found out that she was a catholic. I also found out she had bowel cancer, and it was spreading through her weak and fragile body. I loved this woman , as she has such beautiful manners, and was so kind. I didnt want her suffering in this life, and the hereafter as well. I would cry in my dua and ask Allah to help me to talk to her, and tell her exactly what i should say.

Alhamdulillah, i finally had the chance to sit down with her and have a one on one discussion about Islam. Firstly i told her of the similarities of both our religions. I also said to her that we too love jesus, but we do not worship him, we simply obey him, and worship the One true Creator. I would read her verses of the quran, and i even spoke to her of the bible. I said that i used to be a christian, and now im a muslim (and i told her of my struggle to find the truth). I also said to her that this life is short,it's nothing...that Paradise is much more beautiful, rewarding, everlasting...

I was so sincere, even more so, because by this stage i loved her...she became my close friend. When i said everything i wanted to say, i simply asked her what she then believed...what i heard next was the most delightful thing that sent shivers down my spine. She too believed. I witnessed her shahada...Allahu Akbar.

A few days later, she was to leave the hospital because she wasnt getting any better. She had lost her eye sight, and was losing weight, and couldnt walk. Shortly after this i left Indonesia to come back home.

When i came back home, i rang my dear friend, who was now also a sister in Islam. I was told that she had died...Inna lillahi wa inna ilali raajioon.

I must admit, i cried tears of happiness....as she came so close to the hell fire, yet Allah (the Most Merciful) guided her in her last days, so that she would be from the people of paradise, insha Allah.

Long story, yes, but this was my way with her, and i felt it was suitable...still everyday is a learning experience.Alhamdulillah.

while talking to Hindus , we can tell them about Prophet Muhammad (p) in Hindu Scriptures .

pl.visit the link to read the full article.

By Dr. Jamal Badawi

Chairman, Islamic Information Foundation - Canada

The Muslim testimony of faith is mentioned in the Upanishads.

........As a result of the clarity and explicitness of that prophecy, some Hindus actually enter into Islam, which has led some Hindu scholars to claim that perhaps this prophecy was written by a Hindu pundit who converted to Islam.

But this is refuted because this prophecy was referred to in some of the ancient Hindu books that predate the advent of Islam or Muslims to India (Vidyarthi).

A really common thing that alot of atheists or haters use are questions such as the following:

Can Allaah/God create a rock so heavy that no-one can pick it up?

What would you say?

Yes? If you said yes - then the person will respond, that if Allaah can create a rock so heavy that no-one can pick it up, then does that mean that God can't pick it up either?

Okay, what if you say No? Then the person will say that this goes the idea of there being a God.

The same can be said by christians; you say to them - why would God need a son? They would say, if God wants to have a son he can have one! Then you might say that God doesn't have a wife, they might say that God can do anything.. what response should you give?

The answer is really simple, all you have to say is this: Allaah only does what befits His Majesty.

So Allaah doesn't need to create a rock so heavy, or Allaah doesn't need to have a son because it doesn't befit His Majesty that He should have a son, a daughter, or a grandad etc.

If someone asks you why men are allowed to marry 4 wives, ask them; why in the west is it 'allowed' for a man to marry a man?

You can also say, when a man marries more than one woman - it's his duty to treat all of them equally, and pay for her, the children and support them.

However, in the west - there is a limit to how much wives you can have [one] - but there's no law preventing a man from 'dating' or having relationships with any other women [the guy could even have 100 girlfriends, and the wife couldn't put any case against him.]

The final thing you could say is that islaam is the only religion which actually limits the man to have 4 wives, all other faiths don't even have any scripture which limits them to any number less or more than this.

For Da'wah (inviting to Islam) theres three main points you talk about; I believe:

1) Allaah

2) Prophets

3) Afterlife

1) In Allaah. You believe in Allaah's Lordship, none is worthy of worship except Him, and you can discuss His 99 names and attributes mentioned in the Qur'an [speech of Allah] and Authentic Sunnah [prophetic ways/sayings]

Allaah is the Lord of all the worlds, and no-one else except Him created everything, including ourselves. Even the beauty that you got. He created us simply so we would obey Him over the creation. Why do we obey Him? So we can be just/kind to the creation and be rewarded with good for that. Allaah was always, and will never die, no-one created Him and He created everything.

The laws of man are always so the person gets the best for themselves, so a ruler/leader might only make some rules which will be for his/her benefit, but why obey this person when you should be following the laws of your own Creator? Doesn't your Creator have more of a right over you? This is why we obey Him, and if Allah can make us live in this world, its easy for Him to bring us to life back once again. And why should Allah create us if we have no purpose in life? This is why we live our lives according to how God wants us to live, in return for reward [for obeying Him and submitting to Him] or turning away and rejecting Him, and therefore being punished for turning away from all the blessings which He has blessed you with.

Note: If you study the lives of the Prophets of God, you'll see that they lived simple lives because they don't have a desire to cheat people or trick them for money or power, but instead - they simply call to God and try to enjoin good and push away evil.
