Eid Mubarak - back from Arafat & Mina

Technology Helps Muslims Celebrate `Eid 

Yusuf Estes explains the use of latest technology in presenting Islam in English language. Today, more than at any other time in history, the Muslims find themselves in a most critical condition. Since the end of the Islamic empire in 1922, there really has been no actual world wide network for Islam or Muslims on the television, radio or newsprint. It seemed hopeless for the Muslims to effectively communicate the message of Islam on a global basis, until the Internet came along. <read the whole story - click the 'read' link>

Tolerance in Islam?

Lecture of Tolerance in Islam
(by M. M. Pickthall - Abridged)

 

In the eyes of history, religious toleration is the highest evidence of culture in a people. It was not until the Western nations broke away from their religious law that they became more tolerant, and it was only when the Muslims fell away from their religious law that they declined in tolerance and other evidences of the highest culture. Before the coming of Islam, tolerance had never been preached as an essential part of religion.

If Europe had known as much of Islam, as Muslims knew of Christendom, in those days, those mad, adventurous, occasionally chivalrous and heroic, but utterly fanatical outbreak known as the Crusades could not have taken place, for they were based on a complete misapprehension.

Innumerable monasteries, with a wealth of treasure of which the worth has been calculated at not less than a hundred millions sterling, enjoyed the benefit of the Holy Prophet's (Muhammad's) Charter to the monks of Sinai and were religiously respected by the Muslims. The various sects of Christians were represented in the Council of the Empire by their patriarchs, on the provincial and district council by their bishops, in the village council by their priests, whose word was always taken without question on things which were the sole concern of their community.

The tolerance within the body of Islam was, and is, something without parallel in history; class and race and color ceasing altogether to be barriers.

    Why Did Yusuf Estes Leave Christianity?

    Gregory (a Christian Arab) living in Australia asks:

    Subject: Why did you really convert?

    I have read on your website your reasons for leaving christianity for islam.I just can't help but think/feel, your not telling the whole truth.You know what i think?

    I think that you asked God/Jesus for something some years ago and it never happened.Your faith started to whither after that.
    Just like you and many other Truth seekers i've always asked questions when it came to bible stories. Needless to say i never got an answer. From what i know now neither does priests and pastors and popes. Christianity has a lot of man made beliefs and rituals which i never accepted and agreed with.The biggest one is that God is a trinity . . .
