Re: Very useful Islamic Information for Reverts
Islam held special appeal for the depressed classes in Makkah. When members of these classes became Muslim, they also became aware that as pagans they were despised and rejected by the highly class-conscious and race-conscious aristocracy of Makkah but Islam gave them a new self-esteem. As Muslims they found a new pride in themselves
Most of the early converts to Islam were “poor and weak.” But there were a few rich Muslims also like Hudhayfa bin Utba and Arqam bin Abil-Arqam. And all those men whom Abu Bakr brought into Islam – Uthman, Talha, Zubayr, Abdur Rahman ibn Auf, Saad ibn Abi Waqqas and Abu Obaidah ibn al-Jarrah – were also rich and powerful. They were members of the various clans of the Quraysh.
We can assume that at the beginning, the pagan aristocrats of Makkah witnessed the efforts of Islam to win recognition, more with amusement than with irritation, not to speak of the hatred and the hysteria which gripped them a little later.
But as the new movement began to gather momentum, they sensed that the ideas which Muhammad was broadcasting, were really “dangerous,” and there was nothing funny about them. They argued that their forefathers had worshipped idols for countless generations, therefore idolatry was right; and they could not allow Muhammad to meddle with their mode of worship.
But Muhammad was not content merely with denouncing idolatry. Far more dangerous and frightening to the all-grasping Umayyads were his ideas of economic and social justice which threatened to pull down the fortress of their privileges; the old structure of authority and hierarchy; and all the fossilized institutions of the past. They made it clear, therefore, that privilege was something they were not going to relinquish – at any cost – come hell or high water.

Re: Very useful Islamic Information for Reverts
I'm particularly moved by the section on the significance of Da'wah and Jihad, emphasizing the spiritual, mental, and physical aspects of striving in Allah's cause. It's a powerful reminder of our duty to not only improve ourselves but also to help guide others towards the truth in a compassionate and understanding manner.To contribute to this beautiful thread, I'd like to add a few thoughts:Continuous Learning: The journey of faith is one of constant learning and reflection. Websites like IslamReligion and IslamicBulletin offer valuable articles and books for deeper understanding.Community Support: For reverts, finding a supportive Muslim community can significantly ease the transition. Engaging in local mosques and Islamic centers can provide a sense of belonging and guidance.Spiritual Growth: Personal reflection and prayer are crucial for spiritual development. Setting aside time for daily Qur'an reading and contemplation helps strengthen one's connection with Allah (SWT).
