Fakta Menarik - Part II

1. Indonesia is the country that has the largest number of Muslims in the world, and the majority of people in Malaysia are Muslims (56%). But, no Muslim army ever went to Indonesia or Malaysia. It is an established historical fact that Indonesia entered Islam not due to war, but because of its moral message. Despite the disappearance of Islamic government from many regions once ruled by it, their original inhabitants have remained Muslims. Moreover, they carried the message of truth, inviting others to it as well, and in so doing endured harm, affliction and oppression. The same can be said for those in the regions of Syria and Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, North Africa, Asia, the Balkans and in Spain. This shows that the effect of Islam on the population was one of moral conviction, in contrast to occupation by western colonialists, finally compelled to leave lands whose peoples held only memories of affliction, sorrow, subjugation and oppression.

2. Muslims ruled Spain (Andalusia) for about 800 years (since 711AD). During this period the Christians and Jews enjoyed freedom to practice their respective religions, and this is a documented historical fact.

3. Christian and Jewish minorities have survived in the Muslim lands of the Middle East for centuries. Countries such as Egypt, Morocco, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan all have significant Christian and Jewish populations.

4. Muslims ruled India for about a thousand years, and therefore had the power to force each and every non-Muslim of India to convert to Islam, but they did not, and thus more than 80% of the Indian population remains non-Muslim.

5. Similarly, Islam spread rapidly on the East Coast of Africa. And likewise no Muslim army was ever dispatched to the East Coast of Africa.

6. An article in Reader’s Digest ‘Almanac’, yearbook 1986, gives the statistics of the increase of the percentage of the major religions of the world in half a century from 1934 to 1984. This article also appeared in The Plain Truth magazine. At the top was Islam, which increased by 235%, while Christianity had increased by 47%. During this fifty-year period, there was no “Islamic conquest” yet Islam spread at an extraordinary rate.

7. Today the fastest growing religion in America and Europe is Islam. The Muslims in these lands are a minority. The only sword they have in their possession is the sword of truth. It is this sword that is converting thousands to Islam.

8. Islamic law protects the privileged status of minorities, and that is why non-Muslim places of worship have flourished all over the Islamic world. Islamic law also allows non-Muslim minorities to set up their own courts, which implement family laws drawn up by the minorities themselves. The life and property of all citizens in an Islamic state are considered sacred whether they are Muslims or not.

  1. Assalamualaikum Paneh,

    Yes, as a matter of fact my son who is doing his Phd now in the US, told me that every Friday before or After Jumaat Prayers there are newly Muslim converts who Lafaz their Syahadat.

    Alhamdulillah!! Immediately after 9-11, all books pertaining to Islam were SOLD. The shelves in New York book stores emptied!! They were curious about Islam.

    And now even more and more are interested to know about our holy religion. No matter what happen God has mentioned that HE will protect Islam.

    So, we have to be good Muslims who adhered to true teachings of Islam through our Holy Al Quran and Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.

    We have to show them the good examples of who, what and how true Muslims are!! WaAllahuAlam.
