Islam is the fastest growing religion in the= world especially since sept. 11.

An important article shows that every child is born on the "fitrah&quo= t; (natural inclination) of "Islam", the spread of Islam after Se= ptember eleventh and that it=E2=80=99s necessary to make an open communicat= ion between Muslims & Non-Muslims for presenting a right picture about = Islam .

Salam Alaykum:

Your question about the increase in the "reversion to Islam" is a= good one. You have given me the excuse to do something that I have wanted = to do for a long time. I have wanted to write on the subject of "Rever= ts to Islam in Modern Times" and the message that it carries to all of= us Muslims about Islam TODAY.
BACK TO Islam?
Reverts to Islam In Modern Times

"Revert" As Opposed to "Convert"

I like to use the word "revert" as opposed to the word "conv= ert" as it more suits the occasion of a person returning back to his n= atural condition at birth. The baby is born in true surrender, submission, = obedience and peace with his Creator. And this is the desirable position of= the Muslim, to be in peace and submission to the Will of Allah (God in Eng= lish). Instead of thinking in terms of "converting" people over t= o Islam, it is better understood that they are simply returning back to the= ir natural state at birth. And this is from the teachings of our beloved pr= ophet, Muhammad, peace be upon him. (Muslims should always say "Peace = be upon him/them" when referring to any of the prophets).

Like A Baby

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: "Every child is born on the= "fitrah" (natural inclination) of "Islam" (surrender, = submission and peace to the Creator on His Terms). And it is their parents = who raise them up to be Jews, Christians or fire worshippers."

Dr. Ted Campbell who is the professor of religion at the seminary school in= Maryland and I were both sharing the speakers platform last year in Maryla= nd University. At the closing of a very nice interfaith dialog there came a= strange question for both of us. Noah, the moderator said: "This last= question is for both speakers: "Why are each of you in your religion?= "

Dr. Campbell took his position in front of the microphone and then looked a= round the room as he thought about the question. I will never forget his wo= rds. He said: "I guess I would have to say that I am a Methodist becau= se, well because, my parents raised me that way. As a Methodist."

He was right.

That is what we know as Muslims. However, as I mentioned in my answer to th= e same question: "And then some are brought back to their original sta= te as a baby." They are "reverted" to Islam by the Mercy of = Allah.

Actual or Factual Numbers of American Muslims

Many people are claiming that twice as many, or three times or four times, = or even ten times as many people are coming into Islam as they did prior to= the events of September 11. Who could possibly know the numbers? We are no= t even sure how many Muslims live here in America. I have heard the numbers= range from around 3,000,000 all the way up to 11,000,000. I'm sure tha= t only Allah Knows for sure how many Muslims there are in America.

Rate of "Reversion"

Actually, I can't give accurate statistics before or after the Septembe= r events. I have heard from some "experts" that Islam was the fas= test growing religion in the world prior to the September 11 events. I have= no reason to doubt it either. In the many Masjids around the United States= and in the many countries that I have been fortunate enough to visit I hav= e found thousands who have entered into Islam. The Anglican Church of Engla= nd expressed concern that if something does not change in the trend of new = Muslims in England that the Muslims will out number the Anglicans by the ye= ar 2010.

The number one name of the birth certificates for new born boys in England = was not John, or Michael, or William. It is "Muhammad." In Mexico= , Sweden, Denmark and Canada I have witnessed so many coming into Islam tha= t I cannot count them all. Everywhere I go I meet new Muslims. Prisons, uni= versities and even in the military I have personally seen thousands who cam= e to Islam. This is all before the events of September 11.

More Exposure to the Message

What I feel comfortable saying is that more and more people are being to ex= posed to Islam all over the world. Whether or not the picture they are rece= iving is painted correctly or not is not as important a factor as is the fa= ct that at long last many people on this planet are looking at Islam as som= ething very real. Therefore, when they ask about Islam some of the informat= ion is stimulating feelings inside of the people. Naturally we are going to= see those who are stimulated to be against Islam. At the same time you hav= e to understand that there are a number of people who will take the positio= n that you cannot always believe everything in the news media. These are th= e ones whom Allah guides to inquire and learn more.

Allah is the Only Guide

It is only Allah who Guides the people and it is only Allah who Misguides. = The biggest problem in the past used to be the lack of interest in Islam. P= eople were not interested in talking about Islam or any religion for that m= atter, even their own. Now the problem is the lack of correct knowledge of = Islam. There simply was not anything about Islam out there.

Then the events of the 1970s with the actions of some of the Iranians when = they hijacked airplanes and we saw on the news, men prostrating on the grou= nd outside the airplanes. We in the West learned a new word; "Shi'= ism". People said this is some strange religion (Islam). What is going= on? Then came the 1980s and we saw acts of terrorism that occurred in Pale= stine and the words "fundamentalist" and "Muslim" becam= e associated together.

At the very beginning of the next decade we saw something take place in Ira= q and Kuwait. Again religion is brought into the picture. Not a pretty pict= ure, but a picture. Midway through the 1990s we saw big actions taking plac= e everywhere in the world. The Trade Center in New York, airplanes, embassi= es, attacks and counter attacks. All along we are hearing something about &= quot;Islam" and "Moslems." Still not very positive to say th= e least. Then what occurred in September brought out more information, alth= ough distorted, about this religion of the East.

President Says "Islam is Peace"

Every home, every business, every place on earth became exposed to this rel= igion called: "Islam." The president of the United States went on= television at a time when everyone who had a TV set was watching to see wh= at the United States Commander in Chief was going to say about the events o= f September 11, and what US was going to do. His message contained a lot of= threats and promises about what the Americans were going to do to those wh= o committed these horrific acts of terrorism. But the words that stick in m= y mind are the words that introduced Islam to a lot of people around the wo= rld who had never heard of Islam before in their lives.

The words of President G. W. Bush when he said: "Islam is a religion o= f peace." Every single place on earth that could receive the broadcast= signal from the TV towers or the satellites orbiting the earth got the mes= sage. And for those who were not so fortunate as to have a TV set, it was s= imultaneously broadcast on every radio station in the world. And for those = who might have slept through the broadcast, it was rebroadcast over and ove= r. And then for those who did not speak English of course there was transla= tion. And then the written word took over where the broadcasting left off. = There was not a newspaper in the world except that it carried something of = the meaning of what Mr. Bush said on that occasion. It was a historical spe= ech. One that will go down in the books of history as the retaliation of a = nation against terrorism. He said it. "Islam IS A RELIGION OF PEACE.&q= uot;

Divide Muslims

Now we know that Mr. Bush is not promoting Islam by any stretch of the imag= ination. However, he still could not afford to say something derogatory aga= inst all the Muslims in the world by attacking Islam. That would then unite= all the Muslims against America (at least most of them).

In fact it was to the advantage of the Americans to make statements that wo= uld help divide the Muslims over the situation existing in Afghanistan and = the situation that was sure to occur. By making this statement, he left the= door open for the Muslims who did not want to see any problem between the = materialism of the West (which they personally enjoyed or would like to enj= oy) and the sacrificing of those who were willing to stand up against the t= yranny and oppression of the Western society and all that comes along with = it.

So the strategy was to say things that made certain Muslims look bad while = at the same time not exactly attacking Islam. This led up to the next desir= able situation for shaytan (the devil): Divide the Muslims against each oth= er. So, now we had "mainstream Muslims" and "fundamentalist = Muslims" and "terrorist Islam" and "modern Islam."= It worked too. The Muslims did the thing that the non-Muslims could never = have done. The Muslims defeated themselves. Anytime that Muslims fight Musl= ims and Muslims kill Muslims, then Allah's Protection is lifted from th= em and they will loose. That is what happened.

People Want to Know

Still in the midst of all of this negative propaganda and bad press, non-Mu= slim people were curious to learn more of this "cult" of Islam, i= ts people and their beliefs. Books about Islam and Muslims were disappearin= g off the shelves of the bookstores faster than they could replenish them. = Unfortunately almost every single book was written either by a non-Muslim o= r authors from the various deviant sects of Muslims. So the people were sti= ll not getting the real message of the true Islam.

Websites, chat rooms, email and message boards became alive with informatio= n (and misinformation) about Islam, Muslims, Quran, Muhammad, peace be upon= him. Some people wanted to know the truth, others wanted to hide it. Discu= ssions and arguments about what Islam is about and what Muslims do were ver= y common place. This was the most exposure that these subjects had ever had= in the world at one time.


Open Communication Between Muslim & Non-Muslim

The good news came when the various dialogs between the Muslims and Christi= ans began to take place. When the non-Muslims began to enter the masjids an= d sit with the Muslims and shared together in discussions and shared togeth= er enjoying the food and traditions of other cultures an amazing thing bega= n to happen. They opened their minds and their hearts to the true message o= f the submission and surrender and obedience to the One True God, Allah -- = in Islam.

Back to Islam

Since September 11th, I have seen a huge increase in the interest of people= wanting to know about Islam and at the same time a marked increase in the = "dawah" (invitation) to Islam on the part of the Muslims around t= he world. This is how the people are coming to Islam. The same way people h= ave come to Islam for 1,400 years. By learning the true message and being w= ith real Muslims. Those who are inclined to "revert" back to the = natural state of baby-like submission and peace with Allah, are finding the= ir way back to Islam.


Many New Muslims

Islam today, is growing faster than ever. It is the Will of Allah, for only= He Guides. The people want to know. The interest is keen. The materials ar= e available in more simple terms in many languages. The Muslims are startin= g to carry the responsibility of sharing the message of the true "Peac= e With God in Islam."

Islam In Every Home

Somewhere in the middle of all of this is occurred to me an expression of o= ur prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. When he said what might translate t= o English as:

"The Last Day will not come until Islam has entered every house on ear= th, whether it is made of animal skins or from the earth."
