People are curious but hesitant to convert to Islam. It took them years to fully understand Islamic beliefs and concepts. They have some misconceptions and doubts in their head that hold them back.
This week, during street outreach in Milton Keynes, we encountered many of the same conversations. How a gentleman visited our dawah stand for a year. But he never took the Quran and accepted Islam today.
Most of the people are Christain from religion; they believe in the concept of God. That there’s one God who’s powerful. But then they got confused about Jesus concept of God from their perspective.
A couple, rooted in their beliefs, leave by taking a Quran. A Hindu brother who’s exposed to many religions loves the Islamic concept of God.
Explore the article to see the importance of live Islamic outreach and how it helps people.
A Man Who Never Takes the Quran All Year, Accepts Islam At CMK
Brother Mathias visited our invitation booth on several occasions. We have been seeing him on Saturdays for over a year. Every time our team offered him a Quran, he simply walked past without saying no.
Still, we are calling him with hope and patience. Today, he returned to our dawah store and had a meaningful conversation with the CMK team. At one point, our brother asked him, “What are you waiting for to take your Shahada”?
Because we don’t know when this life will end. If Allah SWT has guided your heart toward Him, you don’t have to delay this opportunity. He said, “You know I want to embrace Islam”. With the grace and Blessing of Al-Hadi, he took his Shahada, Alhamdulillah.
He was very happy, and his story reminded us how people already practice Islam before taking their Shahada. And what finally brings them to this moment.
May the Almighty make this journey of steadfastness easy for him. Accept his good deeds and shower His blessings on him in this world and the hereafter.
What Is The Islamic Concept Of God?
In Islam, Muslims believe in Allah (God) as their creator. He has no partners and no offspring. He’s unique in His attributes and only worthy of worship. The universe and everything in it was created by Him, and only He has complete control over it.
The first step of being a Muslim is having faith and total submission to His will. They called it Tawhid. We had discussed this with an Indian brother who came to our Dawah stall. He said I’m exposed to Hinduism, Christianity, and a little bit about Islam.
During the conversation, he believed the concept of God in line with the Quran. He was very pleased and left with a small leaflet. Brothers asked him to come back next week to continue the journey in terms of the rest of the Quran.
This is not the first time; read how MK Dawah explains the Islamic concept of God to Hindus in an earlier outreach session. Islamic outreach is a process of guiding people toward the message of truth. A journey that is broken into small steps according to their level of understanding. Until they fully understand the message and explore Islam personally.
What Does Islam Say About Jesus? A Conversation That Ended At Surah Maryam
Both religions affirm the miraculous virgin birth of Jesus, known as Isa al-Masih in Islam.
The key difference is in his identity. Islam honors him as one of the respected Prophets of Allah SWT.
A messenger who called humanity to the oneness of God. Christian believes him as the Son of God who was crucified for the sins of humanity. Sometimes this type of conversation does not begin on Dawah stalls.
The CMK community booth was already covered by volunteers. Imagine yourself from the other side as a person of another faith and surrounded by 3 to 4 Dawah gear. Obviously, you don’t feel comfortable.
Two brothers noticed and moved to the Marks and Spencers area. They had this conversation there with an elderly Christian man. Although he wasn’t very strong in his beliefs. He seemed to be quite confused, and we talked about the Quran, the Bible, and Jesus.
At the end of the conversation, he said I’d come back to learn more about Islam. He didn’t take the physical copy of the Quran and said I will read it online, especially Surah Maryam.
Surah Maryam has opened many hearts; it led two Christian ladies to accept the Quran after visiting our dawah stall during the recent week community outreach.
People In Kingston Exploring The Preservation Of The Quran And Jesus In Islam
How has the Quran been preserved perfectly? Muslims believe that there’s no change in a single word of the Quran from the time when it was revealed. Because Allah has promised Himself as its guardian.
When an ayah or Surah was descended to the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). The companions preserved it by memorizing and writing it down. Oral memorization was a tradition to save the Quran in hearts and attempt to detect any defect instantly.
This was the topic with a visitor named Rhy’s, who has been a Christian for two years. He has been to the mosque with his friends before becoming a Christian. We explained to him the concept of God and how the Quran has been authentic over time.
He agreed with a lot of points raised and was advised to do more research. He mentioned he had the Quran and also took one of the brothers number incase he has any questions.
May Al-Hakim make this research effective and grant him clarity at every step, Ameen
In the very last minutes of our outreach, we engaged with a Christian couple. May Allah bless and increase the knowledge of brother Abdullah. We discussed the concept of Jesus being God to prove that, where in the Bible it is mentioned.
Did Jesus itself said he’s God (Astaghfirullah)? They looked very keen and satisfied throughout the conversation. At the end, they left by taking a Quran, Alhamdulillah.
Youngsters Dawah Moments In Bletchley
One of our brothers and his nephew Fahad set up the stall on time. Alhamdulillah, over time, we had six brothers come up to the stall. The spirit and enthusiasm of the new generation in spreading the message of Islam shows how much they are interested in their religion.
Every Quran and leaflet we give away reflects a seeker. Someone who is in search of peace and prosperity in their life. People want to know the truth through guidance for a life rooted in purpose.
With the grace of the Almighty, we distribute 22 Qurans and 70+ leaflets that include Love of God, The Last Messenger, Making Sense of God, and God’s testimony.
