Ever since its advent, Islam has been engaged in a continuous struggle
against the repeated endeavours to obliterate the truth for which it
stands. This struggle will continue until the world comes to an end,
since the struggle between truth and falsehood and between virtue and
sin is eternal and began with the creation of man and will continue as
long as mankind inhabits the earth.
Islam is the final and conclusive Divine
Faith revealed by God Almighty, and accordingly the last link or Divine
communication from the heavens to the earth. As such Islam has been
subjected to more false accusations than the previous religions since it
came: ” in truth confirming the scripture that came before it, and
guarding it in safety”.(5/48) The allegations against Islam, since its
advent and until the present day, have been repeatedly circulated, the
only difference being the wording and the attempt to present them in a
semblance of scientific diction. The scholars of Islam answered these
allegations each according to his own thought and we do not belittle the
efforts of those scholars.
The aim of this book is to present
conclusive and verified proof regarding the most important allegations
against Islam that have been raised and repeated in recent years
especially in the age of the Internet. Accordingly, God Willing, in the
very near future, these authentic proofs will be transmitted on the
Internet, and thus we offer our modest contribution in dispelling all
points of misunderstanding and misrepresentation regarding the Faith of
Islam, its teachings, and its Prophet.
