Asalaamu alaykum.
Who here believes Britain will one day soon become a Muslim country?
I quite strongly belive this, due to several reasons. Insha'Allah I'll list them below: -
1) We're already seeing a steady stream of conversions - no one understands what triggers a mass conversion (except for it being the will of Allah s.w.t) so sometime soon we may see sudden mass conversions akin to Malaysia.
2) "Goverment is the shade of Allah on Earth" - a scholar (I forget which one, insha'Allah I'll look it up) said that this goverment is not exclusively a khilafah - any goverment that serves its people is the shade of Allah on Earth. If we take this to be correct, then the people who live in this country under Allah's shade may one day see Allah's Nur.
3) As a whole, many of the principles and ethics of Britain are shared in Islam. Britain is one of the best goverments in the world in regards to the Welfare State. The WS being an Islamic concept.
4) This country is full of Christians who believe in God but don't believe in Christianity. They are searching and longing for Islam.
5) If we compare Britain to other European countries, its relationship to Islam is quite good. No British newspaper printed the cartoons of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)* and this was done out of respect and understanding rather than fear of retaliation.
*Ghair Rhydd, the student newspaper of Cardiff University printed the cartoons of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). It was then immediately recalled and pulped.
So what do you guys think?
PS: I wanted to put a poll up but it sort of went wrong. Could a mod possibly sort it out for me. Edit option doesn't allow me to go back and do it myself.
