A timely quote. I also, if I may add, think that those who defy dawah often feel that admitting Islam is the truth comes with humiliations of "I told you so" and other negatives.

Two general qualities of Christians reverting to Islam: They are sincere about looking for the truth, and they are well informed.

Converting to Islam means you accept everything that the Prophet Muhammad did, such as he married a 9-year-old woman, participated in the slave trade, led a violent gang that killed many Christians and Jews, and took people's wives. The Prophet's actions were considered immoral and inhumanity

Dear brother Sa’īd Abdul latif. I have been trying to reach you for some time . We are back in Orlando FL. I have 5 acre piece of land in Bartow in Polk county FL. I always wanted to build a Masjid/ Islam center on it.But it will take a lot of money. So I was thinking to put a mobile home there as it is zoned Industrial.Will you be interested to come & live there. Do part time Dawa if some one comes & use remaining time on your studies+ I will give you a salary every month on which we both agree. I think with your background ,dedication & courage one day InshaAllah you will become a very accomplished Muslim Scholar. Thank you

I’m from a little outside of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania how can I get in touch with this brother? So many people here are Christian and have the wrong perception of Islam and my little town is no acception. I’ve been looking for someone I could reach out to so I can start giving dawah with an educated brother beside me and in sha Allah and start buying all of these abandoned churches around here and make them into misajid. Please if anyone can help connect me with him I know Allah SWT will bless you greatly in the hereafter.

Assalamualikum Wr Wb from Indonesia, I was born as a Muslim, and like many who are born as muslim. I lacked enthusiasm in learning about my own beliefs. Then, one day, a Christian approached me, tempting me with many promises to convert from my religion. From that moment, I began to study both Islam and Christianity, diligently reading literature, until I eventually experienced a rebirth as a true Muslim. It should be noted that cases of religious conversion are common in Indonesia, and it is God's will that prevents the movement of conversion in Indonesia, primarily by former Christians or converts, not by people like me who have been Muslims since birth. As a result, there is currently a massive increase in converts in Indonesia.

Surah 4 Ayat 36 Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away, the companion at your side, the traveler, and those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful.

Just a side note from a humble Muslim: Islam is simple and all you need is to submit to Allah the creator. Islam is not gauged by how much you know or how noble you are, Islam is how much you fear and seek Allah’s pleasance with you. As Satan was the most knowledgeable but his knowledge didn’t help him as it drew him away from obeying Allah. You could be so simple and do the least but with good intention and with the fear of Allah and you would reach the highest rank with Allah the almighty. This doesn’t mean you should refrain from seeking knowledge and polishing your religious knowledge to worship Allah in the most beautiful way. Also Sufism is not the best especially the modern form of it. Just follow the prophet’s teaching and the sunnah of his companions. May Allah keep us on the right path and accept us amongst those He loves. Ameen.

[@m.zahidiftikhar5493]

Please do not confuse people with your preferences. You don't seem to have listened to the brother or appreciated his quiet & dignified spirituality. He is probably not someone who needs your opinions. He seems to know a lot more than you realize.

[@muhammadbenjuraij7734]

Alhamdulillah! 😊 great video 😊 As a revert for 24 years I would advise you to do a couple of things. First get circumcised asap because depending on the school of fiqh you follow it could affect the validity of your Salah. Unfortunately some Muslims will tell you things like it’s only a Sunnah but the legal definition of Sunnah has different significations. One is, that act which was instituted by the Prophet عليه السلام and which a yMuslim is rewarded for doing it and not punished for not doing it. Another is the general practice of the Prophet عليه السلام regardless of the actual ruling for example according to the 2 schools I’ve studied reciting surah Fatiha in the prayer is a Sunnah of the prophet عليه السلام but it’s also a pillar of the prayer so that if you leave it out even by mistake the prayer is not valid. Circumcision is one of practices that distinguish a Muslim man from a non Muslim. According to my chosen school of fiqh istinja is obligatory after going to the toilet especially before doing Wudu. The uncircumcised has great difficulty in purifying that area putting doubt into your salah. I couldn’t wait to get it done and 20 + years later I’m still reaping its benefits. It didn’t hurt at all. I had a local anaesthetic and it was over in 10 minutes. It was sore for about 5 days and then I was ready physically to seriously plan for marriage because no born Muslim woman will want to marry an uncircumcised person because it can be harmful to her because the impurities built up behind the foreskin can cause all sorts of urinary tract infections. Get it done ASAP you will NOT regret it and mine only cost £150. The second thing is to start learning Arabic Inshallah and I would advise you to make it a holy mission of Jihad until you master it because this will open many doors for you! Thirdly Learn Arabic ASAP and don’t get married yet! Once you have attained fluency in Arabic you can apply for Al-Azhar Sunni University or Darul Mustafa in Tarim! It’s Got bonafide Islamic sciences and Shafi Fiqh with very strong Asaaneed but also it has Strong tasawwuf that’s rooted in theory and practice! May Allah keep you on your path and protect you from Wahhabism because it is flawed…

[@a.ld.b.9204]

I don't think you know who Abdul Wahhab is and what he did for Saudi Arabia when some of the people were going astray from the true teaching of the Quran and Sunnah.

[@muhammadbenjuraij7734]

@@a.ld.b.9204 oh yes I do! I think you should be quiet ! Even the Hanabila of his time warned against him! Yes he did for Saudi Arabia he didn’t do for the ummah! He declared Muslims mushriks despite the fact Shaikhul Islam Ibn Taimiya didn’t go that far! By doing this he indirectly did takfeer of Imam Syooti and the Ibn Hajrs Asqalaani and Haithami ! I’ve studied his books and I even have asaaneed to him for those books! I studied to be broad minded but found Wahhabism as dangerous!

[@user-uq6to3dc2x]

How u mean when u forget to say the al fatiha or a surat ur prayer is not valid? If u forget its not ur fault then u need to do us-sahw then its valid

[@user-uq6to3dc2x]

Inshaa allah

[@muhammadbenjuraij7734]

@@user-uq6to3dc2x According to the Hanafi School that might be true brother so if you're Hanafi forgive me for the confusion. They say this because the general verses of the Quran cannot be made specific with the singular narration Hadith and singular doesn’t necessarily mean one but in the ones i.e., between 1 and 10 or as much as it doesn't reach the level of being Mashoor. And so Allah says فاقرؤوا ما تيسّر من القرآن "Recite that which is easy from the Quran " The particle ما is general and therefore is Qattee (absolutely decisive) and so they don't accept using the Hadith: (لا صلاةَ إلا بفاتحة الكتاب) متفق عليه "There is no salat except with Surah Fatiha" However the general body of Imams and Scholars say that the general verses of the Quran are Thanni in meaning because after deep study of all the general verses it can be seen that there isn't any general verse except that it's generality is usually subject to specification and its this possibility that makes the meaning Thanni i.e., non decisive accepts the possibility of specification and therefore they accept the Hadith of Bukhari and Muslim and hold that reciting surah fatiha in the Quran is a pillar of the prayer and if left out intentionally the prayer is not valid and unintentionally its still invalid because if he forgets it in the first rakah that Rakah is invalid and so the second one takes its place and therefore if he finishes the prayer without the proper amount of rakaat then its not valid. I hope this explains to the reason why I mentioned Fatiha because I'm a Shafi/Hanbali as I've studied both👍🏻
