About Islam

 

"Already more than
a billion-people strong, Islam is the world’s fastest-growing religion." ABCNEWS.

"But Islam has a still further service
to render to the cause of humanity. It stands after all nearer to the real East than
Europe does, and it possesses a magnificent tradition of inter-racial understanding and
cooperation.  No other society has such a record of success uniting in an equality of
status, of opportunity, and of endeavours so many and so various races of mankind . . .
Islam has still the power to reconcile apparently irreconcilable elements of race and
tradition.   If ever the opposition of the great societies of East and West is to be
replaced by cooperation, the mediation of Islam is an indispensable condition.  In
its hands lies very largely the solution of the problem with which Europe is faced in its
relation with East.  If they unite, the hope of a  peaceful issue is
immeasurably enhanced.   But if Europe, by rejecting the cooperation of Islam, throws
it into the arms of its rivals, the issue can only be disastrous for both."  --H.A.R.
Gibb, WHITHER ISLAM, London, 1932, p. 379.

"The picture of the Muslim soldier
advancing with a sword in one hand and the Qur'an in the other is quite false." A. S.
Tritton in 'Islam,' 1951

 

 "Medieval
Islam was technologically advanced and open to innovation. It acheived far higher literacy
rates than in contemporary Europe; it assimilated the legacy of classical Greek
civilization to such a degree thatmany classical books are now known to us only through
Arabic copies. It invented windmills, trigonometry, lateen sails and made major advances
in metallurgy, mechanical and chemical engineering and irrigation methods. In the
middle-ages the flow of technology was overwhelmingly from Islam to Europe rather from Europe to Islam. Only after
the 1500's did the net direction of flow begin to reverse." (pg 253) Jared
Diamond a world renowned UCLA sociologist, and physiologist won the Pulitzer Prize for
his book: "Guns, Germs, and Steel."

 

"It (Islam) replaced monkishness
by manliness. It gives hope to the slave, brotherhood to mankind, and recognition of the
fundamental facts of human nature."  --Canon Taylor, Paper read before
the Church Congress at Walverhamton, Oct. 7, 1887; Quoted by Arnoud in THE PREACHING OF
ISLAM, pp. 71-72.

 

 "No other
society has such a record of success in uniting in an equality of status, of opportunity
and endeavour so many and so varied
races of mankind. The great Muslim communities of Africa, India and Indonesia, perhaps
also the small community in Japan, show that Islam has still
the power to reconcile apparently irreconcilable elements of race and tradition. If ever
the opposition of the great societies of the East and west is
to be replaced by cooperation, the mediation of Islam is an indispensable
condition." (H.A.R. Gibb, WHITHER ISLAM, p. 379)

 

"How, for instance, can any
other appeal stand against that of the Moslem who, in approaching the pagan, says to him,
however obscure or degraded he may be 'Embrace the faith, and you are at once equal and a
brother.' Islam knows no color line." (S. S. Leeder, VEILED MYSTERIES OF
EGYPT)

"History makes it clear however,
that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the
point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myths that
historians have ever repeated."  --De Lacy O'Leary, ISLAM AT THE
CROSSROADS, London, 1923, p. 8.

Learn Holy Quran because it will be a proof for us muslim on the Day of Judgment.
