Important Message to
Non Muslims
If anyone has a real desire to
be a Muslim and has full conviction and strong belief that Islam is the
true religion ordained by Allah for all human-beings, then, one should
pronounce the "Shahada", the testimony of
faith, without further delay. The Holy Qur'an is explicit on this
regard as Allah states:
"The Religion in the sight of Allah is
Islam." (Qur'an
3:19)
In another verse of the Holy Qur'an, Allah
states:
"If anyone desires a religion other than
Islam (Submission to Allah), Never will it be accepted of him; and in
the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost."(Qur'an
3:85)
If a person does not pronounce the Shahada
and enter Islaam, we cannot say that he is a Muslim, even if he admired
Islaam and recognized that it the best religion, a great religion, and
so on. Abu Taalib, the uncle of the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) died a kaafir (non-Muslim), and Allaah forbade His
Prophet to pray for forgiveness for him, even though he used to defend
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said in his
poems: "I do know that the religion of Muhammad is better than all other
religions of mankind; were it not for fear of blame or slander, you
would find me accepting it completely."
If you do not know any Muslims and you are
