Top 13 Exciting Reasons Why Millions Accepted Islam

This article is based on authenticated research, reports, and statistics. please read it carefully to the end.

1- Islam is the true religion of God, and it is a lifestyle with no compilation or ambiguity.

 Allah SWT says “Indeed Islam is the only religion acceptable to Allah”.

The teachings of Islam are so obvious and clear, it does not contradict human nature, and it is integral. If we want to prove that through realistic stories we will find so many. For instance, the story of the American soldier has been published a lot on Social Media. He accepted Islam after a year of studying it. However, he was one of the soldiers of the first group of troops that America sent to Afghanistan in 2001.

And 15 months after that,  he moved to Iraq as a member of the Marine Special Operations team. So, that American soldier Mike said; “they sent me far away to fight Muslims, and then I became one of them (Muslims).    Then he kept on saying; “ the Imam explained to me that Islam is not merely the rituals that we perform. But it is a complete style of life that guides me through the journey of my life including all aspects.

The very same reason was behind the story of one of the big leaders of Chad country who accepted Islam. And when he was asked about the reason for his conversion into Islam he said; “I felt in love with Islam and it is beauty. No one has a doubt of its quality, justice, and no distinction between one and another, nor between a rich and poor man except by piety. All people are directed to Allah and they all are his slaves.

After accepting Islam getting Islamic classes for adults are the best option to know more about Islam for professionals. This is the way you can practice Islam beautifully in your life.

2- Many non-Muslims doubted their religions, because of the existence of contradictions and deficiencies in their beliefs.

By asking how she reverted to Islam, 24-year-old cetlana says; “since I was 13 years old, there has been a question that comes frequently to my mind: what is Islam? Who is Muhammad? Why do we Christians hate Islam and the prophet Muhammad?” She asked her parents about Islam but the response was harsh, they asked her to stop asking such questions or the punishment will be severe she says: “I did not believe that God is Christ as the Christian religion says”. When I came to Germany with my Russian family, I had Muslim colleagues and friends of different nationalities and I found their treatment warm and nostalgic, but I did not find that in the Germans.

I wanted to know more about this religion and the prophet Mohammed I have been searching for years but I did not know where I should be starting. I went to the pope in the church and asked him about Islam, but I did not find in his answers other than his hatred of Islam and Muslims, and that it is a religion of violence and terrorism. Then I spent many years I want to know, but I do not know how?!!

By Allah’s will, I knew a young Turkish Muslim a love story started between us as I knew his family emerged who welcomed me and loved me a lot, surrounded me with sympathy and care, and considered me a member of the family. I always asked many questions to this young man about Islam, messenger, and god, but I did not find any answer, because he himself does not know anything about Islam except that he was born only Muslim. 

But Her mindset has changed, and the end of her story was great;

After research and investigation, she decides to revert to Islam when she read and witnessed the bright light in the verses of The Quran and the greatness of the vocation that he preaches. Allah Almighty said,” therefore whomsoever Allah intends that he would guide him aright, he expands his breast for Islam, and whomsoever he intends that he should cause him to err, he makes his breast strait and narrow”. Though he was ascending upwards, thus does Allah lay uncleanness on those who do not believe.

3- The presence of self-motivation among people in identifying this religion.

That is why we find Dr.Abdul-Rahman Hammoud Al-sumait chairman of the African Muslims committee,

saying frankly: Although there is no deliberate plan to spread Islam on the African continent, Islam is spreading by self-assurance, assuring us that the future of Islam is in this continent of European countries, we find a strange and spontaneous impulse to try to identify the religion of Islam from the swedes and then many of them announced they’re voluntary accept into Islam.

During a press conference at the Swedish Institute in Alexandria, and In a painful blow to opponents of Islam, the Swedish Muslim youth delegation announced the conversion of 15 thousand Swedish citizens between the ages of 20 and 40 years to Islam after the crisis of cartons of the prophet Muhammad. Many reports announce that the number of Muslims in Sweden is now about 20 thousand Muslims. It is so obvious that Islam is spreading despite the lack of sufficient propaganda for it. Especially, among women from Academies and universities, and that demonstrates how amazingly Islam respects and ranks women!!.

4- The disinformation campaigns against Islam cause the opposite effect.

The German magazine, Der Speigel, tried to search for the reasons for the Unprecedented conversion to Islam. They figured out that the September 11^th accident in 2001, the disinformation campaigns of the Western media against Islam, and insulting the prophet through some bad drawings and publishing them in dutch magazines did not stop spreading Islam in Germany and Europe. Instead, Islam became more acceptable than other religions in those countries. All of these disinformation campaigns and direct attacks against Islam played an important role in spreading the true message of Allah among Germans. They even started looking for authentic and correct resources to know more about the truth and right teachings of Islam.

Moreover, the Dutch got surprised when they saw Muslims and Arabs were strongly defending against Islam! Therefore, they went to the Islamic centers of their countries to ask about Islam and get authentic books to read. The Islamic centers provided them with some Quran copies with its dutch translation. Afterward, they came back to those centers to declare that they want to accept Islam. 4000 dutch people converted to Islam at that time. After publishing the bad drawings about the prophet, over 5000 of them accepted Islam. Dutch even started giving Quran to each other at Christmas as a gift. Other researches show that the second-best sales book was the meaning of the Quran which was translated into dutch.

Also, after the accident of September 11^th and the Strong war against Islam in the USA at that time, Americans started searching about Islam and 27000 people accepted Islam for 45 days only!!!. In Belgium, Islam was easily spreading after the offensive drawings against the prophet Mohammad. Mohammad’s name was proven to be the most common name of Muslim reverts since 2001.

5-The existence of scientific facts the Islam religion talks about.

The stories of many western scholars have not been hidden when they were listening to some lectures of Muslim scholars, specializing in the scientific miraculousness of the holy Quran and sunnah, on the top of them Dr.Abd al-majid Al-zindani and sheikh Dr.zaghhloul El-Naggar, as the later stated that 37 European scholars had converted to Islam on his hands, based on a lecture he gave on some aspects of the miraculousness of the holy Quran and Sunnah. During his lecture, Dr.Zaghloul El-Naggar, who is the director of the mark field academy for advanced studies, in England, and a professor of Earth sciences, confirmed the existence of scientific scoop in the Quran and Sunnah for many of the things that westerners consider themselves to be the first to invent and discover them and provide modern contemporary discoveries, which led many scientists to express their surprise and admiration for this Holy Quran.

Moving into another story where we find a western doctor announcing: she reverts to Islam after she was looking for a specific scientific fact and found it in the countries of Islam. This doctor has specialized in obstetrics and gynecology and has taken speedy care of sexual diseases affecting women, so she conducted much research on many patients who were coming to her clinic. , A specialist suggested that she go to another country to complete her research in a relatively different environment. So, I went to nor way where I stayed for three months and found nothing different from what she saw in Germany, so she decided to travel to work for a year in Saudi Arabia. The doctor says: when I resolved to do so, I started reading about the area, its history, and civilization.

6-The lack of real role models in other religions.

Muslims already have a real role model and astonishing example that they follow, and that is Of course the prophet Mohammad (the honest and most beloved prophet). As the prophet is still alive in his nation cuz Allah SWT protected religion against any kind of misinterpretation or misrepresentation. On their hand, the rest of the religions have been subjected to this distortion of their divine books. Therefore, those religious followers could not find any real role models or good examples to follow. In Britain for instance Christianity is the most common religion there but very few of its followers who just still believe in it. In contrast, thousands are converting to Islam. Moreover, Mohammad’s name was one of the most common names in England and Wales. In 2006, 4255 babies were named Mohammad, 3386 were named George, and 3755 were named Josef.

7-The role of Islamic morality.

One of the studies that have been published by the ministry of internal affairs of France states that Islam is widely spreading all over the country, and it’s considered to come second after Christianity. The study shows that 3600 people accept Islam every year, and its follower a more law-abiding than others. They could rarely commit a crime, and they are always keen to practice Islamic rituals; prayer, Fasting, and not drinking wine. The study also shows that 66% of Muslims have never tasted wine during their lives.

8-The effort of Islamic callers in spreading the message of Allah.

Many callers leave their homes and families to spread Islam all over the world and rectify misconceptions about it. One of those amazing callers was Dr.Abdurrahman As-Sameet. He was exerting his effort to call for Allah SWT for 26 years. To the extent that 4 million people accepted Islam in Allah’s favor because of him. He declared that himself in one of the interviews on TV.

And the other story is of the Chadian leader, Ali Ramadan Nagilee, who was a Christian Fantastic and hates Muslims. But Allah SWT guided him to Islam in 1977.  When he became Muslim and the leader of his area, he became a caller to Allah SWT. And was to the fact that 4722 people accepted Islam because of his effort in calling to Islam.

9-Amazing TV shows.

Many of the state lite channels did great efforts and played an important role through their meaningful programs to convince people to accept Islam and try to attract them to Islam, and of those channels, for instance, is the Al-Huda TV channel.

Al-Huda has set one of its goals to be an authenticated source for non-Arab Muslims to learn Islam. And also a source of guidance for non-Muslims to protect them from the misrepresentation of some other channels. It will be also broadcasting its programs in different languages including English, French, and Spanish. The channel has two main goals; the first is to guide non-Arab Muslims with their religious practices and teach them, Islam. The second is to call non-Muslims to Islam and present the true image of Islam and its correct teachings.

10-The debates between Islamic scholars and other religious scholars.

The most important among all debates were those between Ahmed Deedat and many other priests. So many people accepted Islam after listening to the strong arguments of Ahmed Deedat.

Another example is the debate that was in Ethiopia between one of the great Muslim scholars and one of the priests which ended up that many Christians converted to Islam right after the debate. Also after 18 lectures of Da’wah delivered by Al-jirjawy (Egyptian scholar) in Japan, 12000 accepted Islam in 32 days only.!

11-The Muslim minorities in the non-Muslim communities, and their effort of spreading Islam.

The best example of that is of an American Muslim student who is wearing a Hijab (head cover) and proud of her religion she got the attention of people as she wears it all the time, and one day three professors and 4 students of one of the American universities accepted Islam because of her hijab. The American doctor, Mohammad Akoia, who accepted Islam a few years ago, said That an American student wearing Hijab enrolled in the university, and one of her teachers was fanatic and hates Muslims and attacks Islam. He kept on abusing and bothering her and that girl was arguing with him in a  good and gentle way, and CUZ of her pride of her religion and her insistence on wearing a Hijab, he accepted Islam. Some other professors started asking about the Islam CUZ of that girl and accepted Islam right away.

12-Many non-Muslim women get married to Muslim men. 

According to one of the statistics; most of the German women who converted to Islam was either searched for it or were married to Muslims. And most of them are really practicing Muslims and they do a lot of Islamic activities in the German language. The German searcher “Marra Elizabeth” said that 4 out of 5 who accept Islam nowadays are women. Other researchers said that there are many reasons for women to accept Islam; most important of all is that they were married to Muslim men. And also they wanted to change their style of life and liked Islamic ethics and morals.

13-The good treatment of some of the Jihadist movements to their prisoners.

One of the incidents that prove that strength is the one of the English woman Journalist, Evon Radly. He gave a lecture about the good treatment and kindness of Talibaan’s movement towards her when they arrested her. She said that they did not inspect her themselves but they called women to do that on their behalf. She also spat on the detective’s face, however, they did not hurt her at all but rather treated her gently. And after finding out that she was not a spy, they promised to release her. They even invited her to accept Islam. Therefore, she promised them that after releasing her, she will be searching for Islam. Finally, she already read the Quran and she converted to Islam directly.
