WHY DID I EMBRACE ISLAM?

This is an extract from Dr. Gronier, a French MP, who embraced Islam.
Revealing
the reason of embracing Islam he said, I read all of the Ayat (Quranic
verses),
which have a relation to medical, health, and natural sciences that I
studied
before and have a wide knowledge of. I found that these verses are
totally
compatible with and give a picture of our modern sciences. Thus, I
embraced
Islam as it was obvious that Muhammad revealed the Absolute Truth more
than a
thousand years ago. Had every specialist, artist or scientist compared
those
Quranic verses to his own specialization, beyond the shadow of doubt
he would
embrace Islam, especially if he has a sound mentality and goodwill to
search for
the truth and not a mentally defective person with the intentions of
malevolent
aims>>

Islam is the last religion to be sent to the world , every religion
had proofs
that authenticated its Divine source . God foreordained that Islam
would be the
last message to the world ,
so it must comprise many miracles that could be categorized under six
categories
, among them in this age , being the age of science , what is termed
as the
scientific miracles which science has recently proved them amazingly .
let alone
the scientific miracle , as we are going to talk about the unseen
matters news .
Prophet Mohummed had depicted and given prophecies concerning our
generation and
the many generation to come . In fact , these prophecies which can't
be easily
enumerated , have come true .

As to the miracle of the unseen news , prophet Mohummed gave a large
number of
them ; some of them happened during his life , others directly after
his death .
Every age witnessed the fulfilment some of these . The large portion
of these
prophecies go to our age . Insha Allah , we will tackle these in the
coming
studies.
Some of these prophecies , as prophet Mohummed determined , are
portents of the
of the doomsday . we ,now , are approaching that day according to the
Devine
calculation .

The miracle of the unseen tackled that the different phases of life ,
these
tackled the social life , economic life , techmological life ,
political strifes
and wars . Though ther are fearful , they prove the true phrophethood
of prophet
Mohummed . What we are giving here are just two portents that reflect
the social
and economic life .The Bedouins , in the life of prophet Mohummed ,
used to lead
a very simple life . They used to live in very simple houses out of
mud and palm
leaves . The discovery of oil made a revolution in every thing in the
life of
the bedouin . Contraray to the life they used to lead , they ,now ,
live in very
tall structures but even they compete in building very high structures

Here are two Hadith ( traditional sayings of prophet mohummed ) that
talk about
two prophecies that have come true .

It is narrated in Sahih Muslim that Allah's Apostle (peace be upon
him) said to
his companions ( through a long conversation about the signs of the
last hour)
ask me but the companions of the prophet embarrassed to ask him. Then
there
appeared before us a man and sat with the Apostle (peace be upon him)
He knelt
before him placed his palms on his thighs and said: Muhammad, inform
me about
al-Islam. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Al-Islam
implies that
you testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the
messenger of
Allah, and you establish prayer, pay Zakat, observe the fast of
Ramadan. He (the
inquirer) said: You have told the truth. He (the inquirer) said:
Inform me about
Iman (faith). He (the Holy Prophet) replied: That you affirm your
faith in
Allah, in His angels, in His Books, in His Apostles, in the Day of
Judgment, and
you affirm your faith in the Divine Decree about good and evil. He
(the
inquirer) said: You have told the truth. He (the inquirer) again said:
Inform me
about al-Ihsan (performance of good deeds). He (the Holy Prophet)
said: That you
worship Allah as if you are seeing Him, for though you don't see Him,
He,
verily, sees you. He (the enquirer) again said: Inform me about the
hour (of the
Doom). He (the Holy Prophet) remarked: One who is asked knows no more
than the
one who is inquiring (about it). He (the inquirer) said: Tell me some
of its
indications. He (the Holy Prophet) said: That the slave-girl will give
birth to
her mistress and master, that you will find barefooted, destitute goat-
herds
vying with one another in the construction of magnificent buildings .

Man installed hundreds of marine stations to study the characteristics
of
various seas. Scientists have found out that the differences in these
characteristics distinguished one sea from another. But why do these
seas not
mix and become homogeneous in spite of the effect of tide and ebb that
moves sea
water twice a day, and causes seas to move forward and backward
turbulently,
besides other factors that cause sea water to be in continuous
movement and
turbulence, such as surface and internal waves and sea currents?
The answer appeared for the first time in scientific books in 1361 AH/
1942 AD.
Extensive studies of marine characteristics revealed that there are
water
barriers separating neighboring seas and maintaining the distinctive
properties
of each sea with respect to density, salinity, marine life,
temperature and
solubility of oxygen in water.

There are large waves, strong currents, and tides in the Mediterranean
Sea and
the Atlantic Ocean. Mediterranean Sea water enters the Atlantic by
Gibraltar.
But their temperature, salinity, and densities do not change, because
of the
barrier that separates them.
After 1962 AD there was known the role of sea barriers in modifying
the
properties of the water masses that pass from one sea to another, to
prevent one
sea from overwhelming the other. So salty seas retain their own
properties and
boundaries by virtue of these barriers.
A field study comparing the waters of Oman Gulf and those of the
Arabian Gulf
has shown the difference between them regarding their chemical
properties, the
prevalent vegetation and the barrier separating them.
About a hundred years of research and study has been required to
discover the
fact of the existence of barriers between sea water masses and their
role in
making each sea retain its own properties. Hundred of researchers took
part and
numerous precise scientific instruments and equipment were used to
achieve that.
Fourteen centuries ago the Holy Qur’an revealed this fact.
We can conclude the following from the discussion above:
The Holy Qur’an, which was revealed more than 14 centuries ago,
includes very
precise pieces of information and knowledge about marine phenomena
that have
been discovered only recently by means of very sophisticated
equipment. An
instance in this respect is the existence of water barriers between
seas.
The historical development of Oceanography shows that no precise
information had
been available on seas before Challenger Expedition (in 1873 AD), let
alone at
the time when the Holy Qur’an was being revealed 14 centuries ago to
an
illiterate Prophet that lived in a desert environment and never
traveled by sea.

Oceanography has witnessed no advances except in the last two
centuries,
particularly in the latter half of the twentieth century. Prior to
that a sea
was considered as something fearful and mysterious. Myths and
superstitions were
fabricated about it. Sea voyagers were only interested in their own
safety and
how to find the correct routes during their long journeys. Man
discovered that
salt seas are different only in the thirties of the twentieth century,
after
thousands of marine stations had been established by researchers to
analyze
samples of sea water to measure the differences between the degrees of
temperature, salinity, density and oxygen dissolubility in the sea
water
recorded at all those stations, and then realize that salt seas are
different.

Man did not know anything about the barrier that separates between
salt seas
till the establishment of the aforesaid stations, and after spending a
long time
tracing these wavy moving barriers that change their geographical
locations with
the change of seasons.

Man did not know that the water masses of the two seas are separated
by a water
barrier and are mixed at the same time till he started studying with
his ships
and equipment the water movement in the meeting region of the seas and
analyzing
the water masses in those regions.

Man did not apply this rule to all seas that meet together except
after vast
scientific surveying, investigation and verification of this
phenomenon, which
occurs between each pair of adjacent seas in the world.

Now then, did Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) own stations and
equipment
for analyzing water and the ability to trace the movement of various
water
masses? Did he carry out a comprehensive surveying process, although
he never
sailed the sea and lived at a time when superstitions were prevalent,
particularly in the field of seas? Were, at the time of Allah’s
Messenger
(Peace
be upon him) such researches, instruments and studies as are available
for the
oceanographers of today who have discovered all these secrets by means
of
research and study?

This knowledge, which the Qur’an came with, included a precise
de******ion of
the subtlest secrets at a time when humanity could never have known
them, which
indicates that its source is Divine
**Regarding praying to Makkah at whose middle the Kaaba and the
Inviolable
Mosque lie, Allah orders us in the Qur’an to do so: “So turn your
face
towards
the Inviolable Mosque; and wherever you are, then turn your faces
towards it.â€
(The Cow 144[a5]) Various studies, among which one was done by Dr.
Hussein Kamal
Ad Din, Head of the Department of Survey Engineering at
RiyadhUniversity, proved
that Makkah is the center of earth. Dr. Robert G. Coleman (3[a6]),
StanfordUniversity in USA, did a study on the center of earth gravity
and the
point in which gravity cosmological radiations meet (the meeting point
magnetic
gravitational radiations) on earth; he found that this center is
Makkah. Makkah,
then, is the center of the seven continents as well as the meeting
point of
magnetic gravitational radiations..

As for going around the Kaaba anticlockwise, it is consistent with the
movement
of the whole universe: from the atom to the galaxy. Going around is a
cosmological phenomenon that includes everything. The electron goes
around the
nucleus, the moons go around their planets, the planets go around
their suns,
the suns and the stars go around the centers of their galaxies, and
even energy
goes around in its paths; all these movements are anticlockwise. It is
the same
direction of the Hajji going around the Kaaba.
salma Bouafair ( Soufi Bouafair )- M.D in teaching French and
mathematics
The story of this woman is an extraordinary example of the long tiring
intellectual journey through which those who converted to Islam always
undergo .
She embodies the real challenging will and introduces a good
courageous
intellectual mind which is to be considered the finest kind of courage
at all.
She proudly narrated her story as follows:
“ I was born in 1971 in Montreal, Canada. I was grown up within a
religious
Catholic family , so I used to go to church until I was 14 years old
when I
started to have my personal questions about our Creator and the
different
religions...I have always believed in God and in His power and in His
greatness,
so I have studied different religions seeking for any convincing
answers for my
endless questions but again I could not find what I was looking for…
I was so
confused and distracted until I started my university. There I came to
know a
Muslim young man , who introduced Islam to me. I was so overwhelmed as
it was an
easy way to track the answers for my doubts and questions. It took me
a whole
year just to study such a religion, and the result was that I was
obsessed by
Islam to the bones. I was further overwhelmed when I saw how the
Moslems -in
their prayers- adoringly prostrate themselves to God, it is some thing
I could
not find in any other religion. I was obsessed by such touching
movements which
the worshipper performs... they convey nothing but peace of mind ,
politeness
and a perfect act of worship, it seems as if he really feels that he
is at the
hands of God.

I started attending the mosque where I could find many other Canadian
Muslim
sisters, who encouraged me to follow my track to Islam. I wore the
veil in an
attempt to test my will, and two weeks later came the true moment when
I
testified that there are no other gods but Allah, the One, and that
Muhammad
(PBUH) is His prophet and messenger.
