May Allah show you the light

Indeed, my transliteration if poor, a fact that I admitted to and asked for Allah's forgiveness.

I am able to read the Holy Quran, though not in perfect pronunciation. I wrote the lines from Sura Nas'r from memory as those lines came to my mind spontanously.

Islam is not only the religion of the Arabs, it is for mankind and universal. Allah and His messenger opened the door of Islam for peoples of all races and ethnicity, as evidenced by the diversity of Hajj pilgrims. To bring in race and nationality such as Pakistanis and Bangladeshis or any other country is a racist statement that every Muslim rejects.

For 1500 years, enemies of Islam from within and without attacked and tried to malign Islam without success. The combined armies of Christendom could not destroy Islam during the Crusades. The 1.5 billion Muslims of the world provide evidence to this fact. Islam is the fastest growing religion of the world in the 21st Century. Indeed, peoples from all races finding Truth that is Islam.

So a few munafiks and heretics will do little harm other than creating annoyance among the Muslims. But then, Islam teaches them to exercise patience as they know truth will prevail over lies and falsehood.

May Allah show you the light of reason so that you may desist from this useless effort of maligning Islam and insulting Muslims. May Allah in His eternal mercy forgive you. Amin.

My Best wishes to you
