# Moderation and temperance are keynote of Islam
The simplicity of Islam, the powerful
appeal and compelling atmosphere of its mosques, the earnestness of its
faithful adherents, the confidence inspiring realization of the millions
throughout the world who answer the five daily calls to prayer – these
factors attracted me from the first.
The broad-minded tolerance of Islam for
other religions recommends it to all lovers of liberty. Muhammad
admonished his followers to treat well the believers in the
Old and New Testament; and Abraham, Moses, Jesus are acknowledged as
co-Prophets of the One God. Surely this is generous and far in advance
of the attitude of other religions.
Moderation and temperance in all things, keynote of Islam, won my unqualified approbation.
Col. Donald S. Rockwell – U.S.A.
# Islam alone can satisfy the needs of every member of the human family
Christianity must go the way of all
things, and henceforth perish and forever to make room for the True
Religion of God to mankind, and that is Islam, which is Truth,
sincerity, toleration, looking to the interests of man and pointing him
to the Right Way. Islam alone can satisfy
the needs of every member of the human family, and Muslims are the only
people among whom can be found the “True Book of Brotherhood” in
reality and not mere “make-belief’ as in Christianity .
Sir Jalaluddin Lauder Brunton – England
# Islam alone offers the solution of present-day problems
To the Western mind, the chief appeal of
Islam must be its simplicity. Admittedly, there are one or two other
faiths which are as easy of approach but they sadly lack the vitality of
the Faith of the Prophet (may AWih bless him), and the spiritual and
moral elevation which it offers.
Islam must also appeal by virtue of its
tolerance … Strangely Christian intolerance awakened my first interest
in Islam. The Churches are utterly incapable of grappling with
present-day problems. Islam alone, offers the solution.
John Fisher – Newcastle
# In Islam I have found the true Faith for which I had been seeking so long
I devoted a considerable amount of my
spare time to a thorough study of an English translation of the Holy
Qur’ an, and as I read over and over again, certain of the words of the
Prophet Muhammad (may Allah exalt his mention), I could not help but see
that here, at last, in Islam I had found the true faith for which I had
been seeking so long.
I would like to say that I feel
confident, that if only people in this and other Western countries can
be brought to appreciate the full meaning of Islam, and what it stands
for, the ranks of Islam will be daily swelled, only unfortunately there
is a vast amount of misapprehension in the minds of many ‘Free Thinkers’
and others who still cling to their old creed simply because they
require the moral courage to abandon a faith, with the principles of
which they are, at variance, and to embrace Islam.
Walker H. Williams
#If Britain and Europe were converted to Islam, they would again be powerful forces for good
There is no version of Christianity which
is really satisfactory. Christians believe that because of the fall of
Adam and Eve, all human beings are born in a state of original. sin, and
are unable by their own actions to merit Heaven. Muslims, however, do
not believe that people are punished for the sin of Adam and Eve. They
believe that all human beings are born of innocence, and can only lose
their hope of Heaven by their own sins when they are old enough to be
guilty of deliberate wrong-doing.
If Britain and Europe were converted to
Islam, they would again be powerful forces for good. British and
European Muslims are some of the best.
Khadija F.R. Fezoui – England
# The purity and simplicity of the Islamic Faith and its obvious Truth made a special appeal to me!
The purity and simplicity of the Islamic
Faith, its freedom from dogma and sacredotalism and its obvious Truth
made a special appeal to me. The honesty and sincerity of the Muslims,
too, are greater than anything I have seen in Christians.
Another beauty ofIslam is its equality.
It is only Islam that has real equality maintained between man and man
and no other religion has anything like it. The Faith of Islam generates
unity.
The Deen of Islam is also the cleanest
religion in the world because Muslims have to wash the exposed parts of
the body five times a day, a practice not found in any other religion of
the world.
A. w.L. Van Kuy/enhurg (Known as M.A. Rahman)

Publishers Note:
All praise is due to Allah, and may He exalt the mention of our Prophet (PBUH), his household and Companions.
Allah has chosen Muhammad (PBUH) to be
His last Messenger to convey His lost Message to mankind. This means
that Islam is not restricted to one particular race, rather, it is a
universal message to mankind at large. It the only Deen of which Allah
approves. He says:
And he who seeks a Deen other than Islam,
it shall not be accepted from him and he shall be among the losers on
the Day of Resurrection. (3:85)
Islam has received throughout ages great response to the point that
there is not a single city in the world which is void of Muslims. This
is due to the fact that whoever applies reason while studying Islam,
cannot help but accepts it out of conviction.
Darussalam has compiled in this book
sample testimonies of those who studied Islam objectively and converted
to it conscientiously. It is not that Islam needs such testimonies in
order to verify its authenticity. Our intention is to let those who have
not yet contemplated converting to Islam share the insights of those
who already have by reading their testimonies and to know that Islam is a
faith which is suitable for all ages and applicable until the end of
time.
Our ultimate objective is to pass on the
Message and to help deliver as many people as we can from the torment of
Hell expecting our reward only from Allah the Exalted to Whom we are
grateful.
