<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Touring the black continent for years to introduce Christianity to
 Africans, a Sierra Leonean Christian missionary has reverted to Islam, 
turning into a Muslim preacher who helped thousands of Africans to find Islam.</span></span></span></h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">“For many years, I tried to persuade Muslims in my country to adopt 
Christianity, then I had a dream in which I was invited to adopt Islam,”
 Musa Bangura said.</span></span></span></h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Bangura with Islam started twenty years ago when he had the same dream of “Islam invitation” for three consecutive times.</span></span></span></h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Converting to Islam in 1993, he became one of the leading Muslim preachers in Africa and Sierra Leone.</span></span></span></h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Instead of spanning across Africa to call people to adopt 
Christianity, the new Muslim preacher had a new mission to find 
differences and similarities between Islam and Christianity.</span></span></span></h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">“I revealed the contradictions in Christianity which resulted in my

 religion.” Bangura said.</span></span></span></h4>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Muslims believe in Jesus (peace be upon him) as one of the great 
Prophets of God and that he is the son of Mary (peace be upon her) but 
not the Son of God. He was conceived and born miraculously.</span></span></span></h4>

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">In the Noble Qur’an, Jesus is called “`Isa”. He is also known as Al-Masih (the Christ) and Ibn Maryam (Son of Mary).</span></span></span></h4>

</span></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">As for his crucifixion, Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified 
but was lifted up to heaven. Muslims believe that Jesus (peace be upon 
him) will come back to earth before the end of time to restore peace and
 order, fight the Anti-Christ (<i>Al-Masikh Al-Dajjal</i>) and bring 
victory for truth and righteousness. The true followers of Jesus will 
prevail over those who deny him, misrepresent him and reject him.</span></span></span></h4>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The truth is the most precious thing 
that one may finally obtain whatever it costs of hardships. Our today 
story pertains to someone who spent a great deal of his life in search 
for the true religion, which he finally found in Islam. Our guest is an 
American who was first a Jewish but he was unconvinced with its beliefs 
and commands, so he looked for another religion that can answer his 
questions and persuades his logic. From Judaism to Islam, it was a long 
journey of numerous trips and hindrances.</span></span></span></h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">However, as we talk about religious 
conversion from a divine religion to another, there is an importance 
thing I would like to shed light on. Someone may say that Muslims always
 confirm their respect to the divine religions, whether Christianity or 
Judaism, but why Muslims are keen to convert people from these respected
 religions to their one, does not this look conflicting?</span></span></span></h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">This misconception is actually posed by 
many people, who are keen about religions, but the fact that it is not a
 misconception but rather a proof to the authentic and pure commandments
 that Islam preached. In brief, Islam declares full respect to all 
Prophets and Messengers of Allah (peace be upon them) including Ibrahim 
(Abraham), Is-haq (Isaac), Ya`qub (Jacob), Musa (Moses), `Isa (Jesus) 
and other Prophets (peace be upon them all). They are Allah’s chosen 
ones who were entrusted with conveying God’s message to people. Yet, 
Islam has confirmed in the Qur’an that the commands and scriptures of 
these Prophets have been subject to great distortion and 
misinterpretation at the hands of their followers. That perversion came 
over most of the sides of these religions, such as the beliefs, rituals,
 ethics and values. Almighty Allah says,</span></span></span></h4>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Do
 you covet [the hope, O believers], that they would believe for you 
while a party of them used to hear the words of Allah and then distort 
the Torah after they had understood it while they were knowing? (<a href="http://www.learning-quran.com/quran-translations/en-translation/recitation-surat-al-baqarah/">Al-Baqarah</a> 2:75)</span></span></span></h4>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">So
 for their breaking of the covenant We cursed them and made their hearts
 hard. They distort words from their [proper] usages and have forgotten a
 portion of that of which they were reminded. And you will still observe
 deceit among them, except a few of them. But pardon them and overlook 
[their misdeeds]. Indeed, Allah loves the doers of good. (<a href="http://www.learning-quran.com/quran-translations/en-translation/recitation-of-surat-al-maidah-3/">Al-Ma’idah</a> 5:13)</span></span></span></h4>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The universal mass media has done every 
effort to smirch Islam and tarnish its reputation including playing on

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The story at hand is a manifestation of 
this fact. It is about an ex-Christian American who grew up in a 
Christian family which used to frequent the church on the weekends 
regularly. As he got older, he was less involved in church and spent 
more time with school, sports and so on. Then, during the high school, 
he left religion altogether and became an atheist as being influenced by
 one of his teachers who was a staunch atheist. He later joined the 
military,  renewed his faith and became a born-again Christian.</span></span></span></h4>

Everywhere in the news and at every social gathering people were 
discussing how barbaric Muslims were and that their religious 
commitments were responsible for these regretful events. He was filled 
with hatred and aversion against Islam and Muslims like many of the 
westerners. He had very interesting stops in his life but finally and 
surprisingly he converted to Islam.</span></span></span></h4>

against the will of God, the Creator. He says,</span></span></h4>
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 30px; text-align: left;">
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Did
 you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose), and 
that you would not be brought back to Us?” So exalted is Allah, the 
Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble 
Throne. (<a href="http://www.learning-quran.com/quran-translations/en-translation/al-ajmi-al-ghamidi-and-al-lahuni/recitation-surat-al-muminun-3/">Al-Mu’minun</a> 23:116-117)</span></span></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">God (Exalted be He) considered this 
claim a false accusation that does not go in line with His boundless 
Omnipotence, Knowledge and Wisdom. One has to look for this purpose to 
accomplish the goal of his existence on the earth and fulfill the will 
of his God.</span></span></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As early as man came on this earth, 
Allah sent Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them) to guide people 
to the purpose of their creation and convey the message of the Creator 
to His creation. Those Prophets came successively in every generation 
and place, when a Prophet dies another succeeds him. God says in the 
Qur’an,</span></span></h4>
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 30px; text-align: left;">
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And
 We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], “Worship 
Allah and avoid Taghut.” And among them were those whom Allah guided, 
and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So 
proceed through the earth and observe how was the end of the deniers. (<a href="http://www.learning-quran.com/quran-translations/en-translation/mishari-bin-rashid/recitation-surat-an-nahl/">An-Nahl</a> 16-36)</span></span></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The seal of the Prophets (peace be upon 
him) is our Prophet Muhammad and his message is the last of divine 
message which everyone has to follow, being the only authentic and 
preserved religion of God, while other divine religions have undergone 
perversion and misinterpretation as indicated by the Qur’an,</span></span></h4>
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 30px; text-align: left;">
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Do
 you covet [the hope, O believers], that they would believe for you 
while a party of them used to hear the words of Allah and then distort 
the Torah after they had understood it while they were knowing? (<a href="http://www.learning-quran.com/quran-translations/en-translation/recitation-surat-al-baqarah/">Al-Baqarah</a> 2:75)</span></span></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Owing to the clear deviations that other
 religions included, being distorted at the hands of some deviated 
persons who resorted to this mischievous action to secure worldly 
benefits and religious glorification for themselves on behalf of 
religion, the followers of these religions became confused and 
disarrayed owing to the conflicting beliefs that these religions preach,
 the faith in Trinity for example. Those followers finally found their 
rest and assurance in Islam.</span></span></h4>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">One of the most deplorable problems we often meet with in our activities of introducing Islam to non-Muslims is the disastrous impact that the mass media have upon the minds and hearts of non-Muslims regarding Islam. They depict it, in some cases, as an imprecation that is going to devastate the whole world by the hands of its adherents.
</span></span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, the general trend of the media tries to tarnish the image of Islam intentionally or unintentionally through the fabricated and perverted views and information. The aim of these campaigns is not hidden; they attempt to stop the flooding currents that threaten their deceitful faiths and reveal their falsities.</span></span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The video at hand relates the story of a Muslim brother who tells us how Islam was mutilated for him by the help of the untruthful information conveyed to them in the non-Muslim places. The guest tells us of the story of his conversion to Islam and how he discovered the guiltlessness of Islam from everything they try to wrongfully disperse against Islam. Islam has been a light and a mercy for the whole people since its rise. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said about himself, “I am the Messenger of Mercy.” (Ahmad)</span></span></span></h4>

<h4>
Whenever mankind is subdued by the 
glooms of ignorance and disbelief, Almighty Allah would send a Messenger
 carrying the torch of guidance and driving people to the luminous way 
of Islam and belief. Almighty Allah says,</h4>
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 30px;">
<h4>
And
 We certainly sent Moses with Our signs, [saying], “Bring out your 
people from darknesses into the light and remind them of the days of 
Allah .” Indeed in that are signs for everyone patient and grateful. (<a href="http://www.learning-quran.com/quran-translations/en-translation/recitation-surat-ibrahim/">Ibrahim </a>14:5)</h4>
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 30px;">
<h4>
lif,
 Lam, Ra. [This is] a Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], 
that you might bring mankind out of darknesses into the light by 
permission of their Lord – to the path of the Exalted in Might, the 
Praiseworthy. (<a href="http://www.learning-quran.com/quran-translations/en-translation/recitation-surat-ibrahim/">Ibrahim </a>14:1)</h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h4>
No ignorance can be intenser than the 
unawareness of God, the Almighty Creator of the whole universe. Indeed, 
if one is not cognizant of the source of his life, he is more likely to 
be lost in the mess of ignorance and bewilderment. Knowing about Allah, 
the only true God, drives one to the most correct way of life and gets 
one rid of the falsities of liars and fabricators.</h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h4>
The below video of the DeenShow relates 
to us a story of a Christian scholar who was deluded by falsities and 
overwhelmed by doubtfulness. He was unrest about what he massively 
studied during his university years, and finally found his long-desired 
objective in Islam, the religion of truth. Enjoy watching this video to 
know more about the religious-life-story of this ex-Christian scholar 
who embraced Islam after persistent search.</h4>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since I was 15 years old, I’ve always been for Islam. I always said “one beautiful day I will convert to the true religion, <span><em>Insha’Allah</em></span>”.
 At that age, I got my eyes open for Islam. I didn’t know anything about
 the religion, what it means, who are the Muslims and why they follow 
it.</span></span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am Swedish. I was baptized in church, and thus born Christian.
 But my family was not practicing Christians. We were a perfectly 
ordinary Swedish family who lived a normal life, celebrated Easter, 
Christmas, Midsummer, Halloween, etc.</span></span></span></h4>

</span></span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">For 4 years, my interest in Islam has only grown more and more. I 
made friendships with Muslims, I searched the Internet and social media 
for Islam. This way, Islam just grew more and more every day.</span></span></span></h4>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">During this time, I had a friend who was a Muslim; we did everything 
together. We traveled to his homeland, a Muslim country. I’d got to see 
many good things about Islam, including the mosques. I’d heard the <em>adhan.</em> That’s probably the nicest thing I’ve ever heard.</span></span></span></h4>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">For a period of three weeks I was in Istanbul where my love for Islam
 just grew even more. I was only with Muslims and they told me so nice 
stories about the religion and Islamic history. Islam is the true 
religion and the only religion that appealed to me. That religion has no
 evil in itself. It is simply about peace and purity. Peace is a basic 
concept in in Islam. We, Muslims, help everyone. We help poor people. We
 help ease the difficulties of others. Aren’t they nice? I think there 
is only something nice about this religion.</span></span></span></h4>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The religion today is thoroughly discredited. Many people see Islam 
as conflict-related religion where only violence exists. If it was, just
 think what misery a whole religion like Islam would create if it was 
about destruction and violence and not about belief!</span></span></span></h4>

was the year I converted to Islam. The days before and after I have seen
 several hundreds of Swedish girls (and guys) convert to Islam.

I have never seen any other religion has so much respect for women more than Islam. The mother has a tremendous status in Islam. Obedience and respect towards one’s mother is a very important duty in Islam.</span></span></span></h4>

</span></span><h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Back to the period before my conversion,  for four years, I have had 
the interest to convert one day. My family had been interested in the 
matter. They had become closer to my Muslim friend, who told us a lot 
about the religion and it was always positive to listen.</span></span></span></h4>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Of course, everyone has their own opinions on certain things. And 
this applies to Islam. We all have different opinions, and that’s OK. 
But it’s about respecting each other.</span></span></span></h4>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">For example, it was very difficult for my family to accept 
circumcision. For those of you who don’t know what circumcision is, it 
is done by delegated doctors not at home in a cabin. So they are fully 
legal today in Sweden and became legal in 2001. What happens in 
circumcision is that the foreskin is removed which leads to cleaner 
genitals. These are facts not my own words and thoughts.</span></span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It is shown that one who has circumcised foreskin has significantly 
healthier genitals. If you want to go into details, it’s less bacteria 
and less Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Many with Sexually 
transmitted diseases (STDs) have to be circumcised in late age to cure 
their disease such as syphilis. Is it unusual for this to happen with 
men? Really not. Every day, adults get circumcised because of diseases.</span></span></span></h4>

have now been two months since I converted, my family has reacted 
strongly to this. They called me in panic asking if I have converted to 
Islam. My mother asked me questions that many  asked me like “are you 
going to wear veil?”
 “Are you going to hide your beautiful hair?”, “Are you going to stop 
playing football?”, “Can’t you drink alcohol now?”, “Can’t you have 
intercourse before marriage?” and so many more.</span></span></span></h4>

sure they would change their perception of Islam and think as I and many
 others do today. My family who I thought supported me in this has today
 left me- because I’ve converted to the  true religion and because I’m 
not against circumcision. They see it as an abuse, but no one has said 
that the child is unable to give his opinion about any religion. You can
 just wait and then the problem is solved when the person is able to 
choose for himself.</span></span></span></h4>

 I converted to Islam when I and the guy didn’t contact each other. My 
family claims I’ve been brainwashed by the guy and his family for 4

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The first set of verses revealed to the 
Prophet (peace be upon him) conveyed an order from Allah to convey the 
teachings of Islam. They were meant to motivate the Messenger of Allah 
(peace be upon him)  into action and to encourage him to live up to the 
duties he was being entrusted with, without caring about any obstacle 
that stood in the way of his fulfilling his mission. The first verse 
certainly aroused his attention:</span></span></span></h4>

 you who covers himself [with a garment]. Arise and warn. And your Lord 
glorify. And your clothing purify. And uncleanliness avoid. And do not 
confer favor to acquire more. And for your Lord be patient. (Al-Muddaththir 74:1-8)</span></span></span></h4>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">After the above-mentioned verses of 
Al-Muddaththir were revealed, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)
 began by secretly inviting others to Islam; by “secretly” I mean that 
he began by inviting a select group of individuals. He  naturally began 
with the closest people to him – the members of his household and his 
close friends:</span></span></span></h4>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her)
 was the first woman, or rather the first person, to believe in the 
Prophet (peace be upon him). She was also the first person to hear 
revealed verses from the mouth of the Messenger of Allah, and 
consequently was the first person (of course other than the Prophet to 
recite the Qur’an. She was also the first person who learned how to pray
 from the Messenger of Allah.</span></span></span></h4>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The first duty that Allah made obligatory was to believe in Islamic Monotheism (i.e., <em>Tawhid</em>);
 the second was prayer. Some narrations give an account of how the 
Messenger of Allah taught Khadijah  how to pray and perform ablution. It
 began with Jibril performing ablution, while the Messenger of Allah 
watched and learned. He then performed ablution himself in the same 
manner. Jibril then stood and led the Prophet in prayer. Afterwards, 
when Jibril had left, the Messenger of Allah went to Khadijah  and, just
 as Jibril had done earlier, performed ablution in order to show her how
 she should purify herself for prayer. After Khadijah  finished 
performing ablution, the Messenger of Allah led her in prayer, praying 
in the same manner that Jibril had prayed shortly earlier.</span></span></span></h4>

`Ali ibn Abu Talib also entered into the fold of Islam. He was the first
 child to embrace Islam, being 10 years old at the time, at least 
according to the strongest view in the matter, two proponents of which 
are At- Tabari and Ibn Ishaq.</span></span></span></h4>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Earlier on in the Prophet’s life, Abu 
Talib was experiencing financial difficulties. Wanting to lighten the 
financial load that was holding his beloved uncle down, the Prophet 
offered to take in one of his children and act as his guardian. The 
child he took in was `Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).  So even 
before the Prophet received revelation for the first time, `Ali  was one
 of the members of his household. “`Ali  was the third person – the 
first being the Prophet and the second Khadijah- to perform prayer. The 
people of knowledge mention that, during the very early days of his 
Prophethood, the Prophet  would, at the time of prayer, go out to the 
valleys of Makkah. `Ali ibn Abu Talib  would go with him, but in a 
clandestine manner, making sure not to be seen by his father, his 
uncles, or, for that matter, anyone else from the Quraish. They 
performed all the day’s prayers in a valley, and then they would return 
home at nightfall.</span></span></span></h4>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Zayd, known as <em>Hibbun</em> (the 
beloved one of the Prophet), was the first freed slave to embrace Islam.
 Having first entered the household of the Prophet  as a slave, Zayd , 
loved the Prophet a great deal, and his love was likewise reciprocated. 
Zayd, originally a free person from a family of free people, was taken 
captive as a child during a raid and was subsequently enslaved.</span></span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He  was eventually purchased in Makkah, 
which is how he ended up in the household of the Prophet. His father 
came looking for him, and found him in Makkah years after he had been 
taken a captive. When Zayd’s father explained what had happened to his 
son, the Prophet  said that Zayd should decide whether he wanted to stay
 or return with his father. Zayd’s father readily agreed to this 
proposal, for who would choose to be a slave rather than return with his
 father as a free individual? But by that time, Zayd had gotten to know 
the wonderful character of the Prophet, and Zayd’s love for the Prophet 
(peace be upon him) was so great that he chose him over his own father. 
Zayd  said to the Messenger of Allah, “I would never choose anyone over 
you. To me, you rank equal to a father and an uncle.’ His father and 
uncle both said, “Woe unto you! Will you choose slavery over freedom! 
And will you choose someone over your father, uncle, and family!” Zayd 
 said, “Yes. I have indeed seen such things from this man that make me 
say with certainty that I would never choose anyone over him.”</span></span></span></h4>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Prophet then freed Zayd and adopted 
him. This of course all happened before Islam, for with the advent of 
Islam, adoption (the practice of changing a child’s name, so that he 
becomes known by his adoptive, and not birth, parents) became 
prohibited, so that Zayd ibn (son of) Muhammad once again became known 
by his original name: Zayd ibn Harithah .</span></span></span></h4>

before Islam, they benefited from the noble character of their father, 
so that, like their father, they were upright people who stayed away 
from the evils of the polytheistic Quraish society. With their 
acceptance of Islam, the Prophet’s household became the first family 
from this nation that believed in Allah and practiced the teachings of 
Islam, which is one of the reasons why Khadijah is of such a high 
ranking among the Prophet’s Companions. It was in that blessed household

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The way in which the Prophet and 
Khadijah raised their children embodies the meaning that is alluded to 
in the Hadith: “Every single newborn is born upon the <em>Fitrah</em> 
(the inborn disposition of being a Muslim). Then it is his parents who 
make him into a Jew, into a Christian, or into a Magian.” (Al-Bukhari) 
The Prophet’s children were born upon the <em>Fitrah</em> (the inborn disposition of being a Muslim), and then their parents raised them in such a way as to keep them upon the <em>Fitrah</em>.</span></span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Islam places great importance upon both 
society and the individual, and the individual is introduced into 
society by means of a family. It is within the context of a family that 
an individual develops his characteristics and qualities. Therefore, the
 family acts as an intermediary between the individual and society. If 
the intermediary is sound and good, then the entities that are at its 
furthest edges – the individual and society – will be strengthened and 
improved. This is why Islam stresses the importance of family. Each 
family must be a strong link in the establishment of an Islamic society.
 We can see the importance given to the family in the very early stages 
of the Prophet’s mission. After all, the first person to embrace Islam 
was his wife, Khadijah -which also establishes the important role that 
women play in Islam. Then `Ali , at the time a young child, embraced 
Islam, which shows the importance of performing Da`wah to the youth, to 
the next generation of Muslims.</span></span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It is most interesting to contemplate 
the kinds of people the Prophet first invited to Islam: Khadijah, a 
woman; Zayd ibn Harithah, a freed slave; `Ali, a child. This clearly 
proves that the message of Islam is directed towards all people – to the
 young and old, to men and women, to masters and slaves. Each individual
 member of society has an important role to play in the establishment of
 a Muslim society and country.</span></span></span></h4>

</span></span><h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Abu Bakr was the first free man to 
embrace Islam, and even before the advent of Islam, he was one of the 
closest friends of the Messenger of Allah. Throughout their long years 
of friendship, Abu Bakr  became very much acquainted with the noble 
character of the Prophet, which is why it is not much of a surprise that
 he embraced Islam without hesitating in the least. The Prophet  said, 
“Every single person I invited to Islam stumbled, hesitated, and 
considered the matter – except for Abu Bakr. When I invited him, he 
neither wavered nor hesitated (to the contrary, he raced to embrace 
Islam).” [<em>As-Seerah An-Nabawiyyah</em> by Abu Shuhbah] Abu Bakr was 
not just a free man; he was also a nobleman and was well-respected among
 the Quraish for many reasons:</span></span></span></h4>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">♦ In terms of lineage, he was one of the
 noblest members of the Quraish. Also, he knew more about the family 
trees of Quraish’s individuals than anyone else. In fact, he was a 
recognized scholar of genealogy, being well- versed in the family trees 
of not just the Quraish but of all Arabs.</span></span></span></h4>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As soon as he embraced Islam, Abu Bakr 
 sprang into action with the passion of a fresh convert, yet, unlike 
many other converts throughout history, his passion and enthusiasm never
 died, and never even waned. Abu Bakr’s Islam shows that a person of 
status and ranking in society often has more of an opportunity than 
others do of having a positive impact upon others.</span></span></span></h4>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">From his Islam, one can also perceive an
 interesting transformation: Abu Bakr was always a close friend of the 
Prophet, but prior to Islam, that friendship was based upon an affinity 
of character and personality; with the advent of Islam, their friendship
 was based only upon faith in Allah.</span></span></span></h4>
