A Serene Letter to the Mind of every Christian..

I write this letter and direct it the mind of every Christian who has had a little and
misguided interpretation and background on the message of Islam..

I tell him: Do not be deceived by what is being said to you about the kidnapping of
Muslims to Christians and forcing them to embrace Islam, and to voice the Islamic
testimony of faith, cause what you do not know, or what has been hidden from you to
know are the following truths:

The 1st Truth

Allah the Most High says in His Noble Book:

((Let there be no compulsion in religion)) (Quran 2:256)

And the meaning of this verse is that Allah the Most High forbids us to force anyone
to embrace the religion of Islam. For Islam is a religion that is clear, with plain proofs
and evidences and there is no need to force others to embrace it, but only whom Allah
wants to guide to Islam He will expand their hearts to it, and He will give him the
light of guidance and will make him enter Islam on a clear-proof. That’s why there is
no benefit at all from forcing others to enter this religion by imposing it on them
unwillingly. And if we are to just assume that that happened then the Muslim who did
such a thing knows nothing about Islam and if he cannot stop himself from doing
what Allah forbid him to do then how can he be mindful of another person's Islam. He
need to be mindful of his own religion first before imposing Islam on Christians by
force.

The 2nd Truth

Rough Translation: Faith is what rests in the heart and is made witnessed by doing
good deeds..

So if Faith is what's settled in the heart: How can a Muslim force the heart of a
Christian to change his belief?!

Henceforth, how can a Muslim force a Christian to believe in the work i.e. the
obligiations that will be laid upon him because of his Islam (outward in this case).
Here again we see that there is no beneficial outcome from the imposing of Islam
forcefully on another person.

The 3rd Truth

Allah the Most High says in His Noble Book:

((Whoever disbelieved in Allâh after his belief, except him who is forced thereto and
whose heart is at rest with Faith but such as open their breasts to disbelief, on them is
wrath from Allâh, and theirs will be a great torment. )) Quran 16:106
And the meaning of this part of the verse is that Allah the Most high is excluding
those who have disbelieved by their tongue and those who accepted under force to say
the word of blasphemy because of what he received from beating up and torture,
while his heart refuses what he utters, and his heart is at rest with his faith in Allah
and His prophet.

And from the above you can come to the conclusion that if a Muslim is forced to
leave his belief while his heart is at rest with faith then that Muslim still remains a
Muslim even if he said something other than that from words of disbelief in Allah,
that’s because Allah knows what faith is in one's heart and He knows what that person
went through from pressure and force.

The 4th Truth

Allah the Most High says in the Hadith Qudsi (Sacred Hadith):

"O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the
jinn of you to be as pious as the most pious heart of any one man of you, that would
not increase My kingdom in anything.

O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the
jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked heart of any one man of you, that
would not decrease My kingdom in anything."

And from this hadith we come to know that Allah the Most Exalted the Most High is
not in need of anyone at all. Which inclines that He the Almighty does not need the
Islam of a Muslim nor is He affected by the disbelief of the disbelievers. For whoever
becomes a Muslim becomes a Muslim for his own self, and who disbelieves does so
against his own self.

The 5th Truth

I will leave this question to be answered by the one with an open-mind and a
contemplating heart..
Who has kidnapped those people and forced them to be Muslims??
Ibrahim Khalil Philips, Dr. Gary Miller, Kenith Jenkins, Dr. Maurice Bucaille, Dr.
Murad Hoffman, George Anthony, Rob Wicks, Cat Stevens, Khadija Watson,
Muhammad John Webster....
