An Open Letter to All Non-Muslims

If there are any Muslims that do anything that is wrong we


should realize that this is an individual who happens to be
Muslim, therefore, one’s deeds are not to be attributed to the
religion. Just as in a Judeo-Christian society like the United
States, whenever a Jew or a Christian perpetrates a crime it is
not attributed to Judaism or Christianity. Thus, the bad that
the Muslims may do is not to be associated with Islam.

Since the creation of humankind there has been an opposition


for Islam to exist in its pristine purity and total completeness
and the forces against it are still prevalent today. Frequently,
we hear negative things concerning Muslims which are
actually attempts at marring the beauty of Islam.

The intent of this letter is to make all of its readers aware that
the reason for our very existence is to worship only God. So,
at this point it becomes fitting to mention what Islam is. The
exclusive objective of Islam is to worship only the Lord of the
universe- Allah- known as God in English. Islam is a verbal –
noun in Arabic that literally means to yield, to resign, to
submit it also means to be blamelessly intact; and safe and
sound. The religious meaning is to believe in God and the
prophethood of Muhammad (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam), to
formally pray five times daily, to annually pay a purifying
alms-tax, to observe a fast everyday during Ramadan from
dawn to sunset, to make pilgrimage to Makkah at least once in
a lifetime ( if he has the ability to do so).

Everything in Islam is for worship of God and only God and


for none other than God. Consequently, one must maintain the
pure and correct concept of Him. One must believe that God
exists; that He is the sole Creator, Owner and Administrator of
the universe; His unique and completely perfect Names and
Attributes are absolute without any deficiencies or limitations
whatsoever; and as previously stated, there is none worthy of
worship except Him, therefore, He has exclusive Godship. If
one does not maintain the concept, then he/she is guilty of the
unforgivable sin of polytheism.

Faithful Muslims also believe in the angels, the divinely-


revealed ******ures, all the Messengers of God, the Last Day
and the good and evil consequences of decree/predestination.
It is form the six above mentioned requirements of faith,
particularly the first one, that this letter will mention how
some of the popular ideologies contrast with God’s revelation
which is the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah (exemplary
practice) of the final Prophet and Messenger Muhammad, the
son of Abdullah.

Agnosticism:

They question whether God, angels and other spiritual beings


exists or not, doubting (as atheists deny) that the galaxy, air
vehicles, eggs, trees, etc., are created by God due to their
uncertainty (denial) of His existence. This is polytheism
because if God didn’t do it then someone other than Him had
to, and this is obvious falsehood because God is the sole
Creator of everything.

Judaism:
They have blatantly disobeyed God, changed His revelation
because they didn’t like the ordinances, and murdered several
of His prophets, among many other heinous acts towards God.
All of this reveals a contempt to worship none besides God
because they put their desires, whims and caprice before His
word.

Zoroastrianism:

Their god, Ahura Mazda, shares his sovereignty with an


opposing god, Angra Mainyu. This belief denies God as the
sole Owner of the universe, thereby, denying part of His
Lordship.

Hinduism:

Their supreme being Brahma Forms a trinity with Vishnu and


Shiva (as Christians do with Jesus and the Holy spirit),
thereby, negating God as the sole Godhead and Lord.
