Science student find peace and Logic in Islam. Steven Byers New Muslim Video Convert

[Mabsoot]

Science student find peace and Logic in Islam.
A Fredericton university student says he turned to Islam after feeling let down by his Christian upbringing.
Fourth-year science student Steven Byers has recently joined the Muslim faith, one of the latest converts to one of the fastest growing religions in North America.

Byers says he didn't have a specific belief system five years ago when he became burdened by a series of unfortunate events beyond his control. He was raised Christian, but says the Bible couldn't help him cope.
"I would question, why would God do that to me, to my family, to my friends? It just didn't make sense to me. And then I got really angry, it was the only time I got angry about a lot of stuff."

Last spring, Byers' friends encouraged him to learn more about Islam. He says he found a belief system that perfectly matched his logical mind.
Then last summer, Byers spoke the Shahada – the testimony of faith, saying Allah is the only God, and Mohammed is the last Prophet of Islam.

"Once you say that line and you mean it in your heart and you're honest with yourself, you are a Muslim," said Byers.

The New Brunswick Muslim Association believes there are approximately 500 Muslims in each of the three major New Brunswick cities and others scattered throughout smaller communities.

But the number of people choosing the Islamic faith is growing through out the world. In New Brunswick's 2001 census, numbers show that the number of Muslims increased five times in a 10-year span.

University of New Brunswick science professor Abdulhaq Hamza says people gravitate to Islam is because they're looking for something to fill what's missing in their lives.



Hamza is also president of the Fredericton Islamic Association and says Islam reminds people that they need to step away from the material world to find peace from within.



"Islam tells you, you have to pray five times a day, so you have to disconnect yourself from that growing and fast-pacing life."

The idea of peace is integral to Islam's message. Its message is two-fold; first, a Muslim is called to submit to God and through this submission comes peace.

Hamza says the only way to achieve peace outside, is to achieve peace inside through the will of God.

"It's like a glowing peace of coal. If you look at it when it's not lit, then it's just dark. And by radiating, it can light other places."

The other major duties required in Islam strengthen a Muslim's commitment to God and to peace.

Abdulhaq Hamza says people
gravitate to Islam is because they're
looking for something to fill what's
missing in their lives

The responsibilities include, giving to charity, praying five times a day and reading Allah's book of Revelations – the Koran. They also include fasting in daylight hours during the lunar month of Ramadan, and, when financially possible, taking a pilgrimage to the holy city Mecca at least once in your life.

Byers hasn't been to Mecca yet, but he did take part in the Fast of Ramadan for the first time. "Not eating that period of the day teaches you discipline, and I just I guess knocks you down a step. Makes you realize what it is like for those people that can't eat."

Ramadan was just one of many firsts for Byers.

He says despite the difficulty of fasting, he is adjusting easily to this faith. That's because he feels the fundamental values of peace, charity and good will were already part of his character.

"So just coming into it, I guess would be just changing from the way I was, to knowing that's how I was. Maybe it was more of a way of understanding the way I am."

Byers says it's important for people to learn about Islam. He says if people incorporate the goals and aims of Islam into their lives, like him, they might find some peace they didn't even know they were searching for.

Brother almouchie asked the nukber of the Muslim reverts in the US and Canada {NA}. Well, I'm in Malaysia but the number of the people who revert to Islam in those areas is estimated at 100,000 every year. Though we ma add the "migrants", but the overwelming majority is made of those who revert/convert, after all a "Muslim migrant" has been a Muslim in the first place. This is information can also be sourced from:

[fasbir]

On Monday 3rd March 1924 (28th Rajab 1342AH), the world woke to the news that Mustafa Kemal in Turkey had officially abolished the Khilafah. That night Abdul-Mejid II, the last Khaleefah of the Muslims, was bundled in to a car with a suitcase of clothes and money and exiled from Turkey, never to return. This is how 1342 years of Islamic rule ended. The following is a historical account of the actions of the colonial powers in first sowing the seeds of disunity amongst Muslims by implanting the idea of nationalism and then finally administering the destruction of the Khilafah state by their treacherous agents.

A few months after the destruction of the Khilafah on 24th July, Turkey's independence was officially recognised with the signing of the Lausanne Treaty. Britain and its allies withdrew all their troops that had occupied Turkey since the end of the First World War. In response to this, protests were made in the House of Commons to the British Foreign Secretary Lord Curzon, for recognising Turkey's independence. Lord Curzon replied, "The situation now is that Turkey is dead and will never rise again, because we have destroyed its moral strength, the Caliphate and Islam."

As admitted by Lord Curzon, Britain along with France played a pivotal role in destroying the Khilafah and carving up the Muslim lands between them. Their plans against the Khilafah were not just a reaction to the Khilafah siding with Germany in World War I. These plans were set in motion hundreds of years ago finally coming to fruition when the Uthmani Khilafah began to rapidly decline in the mid eighteenth century.

The first attempt at destroying the unity of Islam came in the 11th century when Pope Urban II launched the first crusade to occupy Al-Quds. After 200 years of occupation the crusaders were finally defeated at the hands of Salahudeen Ayyubi. In the 15th century Constantinople was conquered and the last stronghold of the Byzantine Empire defeated. Then in the 16th century the Islamic State swept across southern and eastern Europe carrying Islam to its peoples. Consequently millions of people in Albania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and other countries embraced Islam. After the siege of Vienna in 1529 Europe formed alliances to stop the Khilafah's expansion in to Europe. It was at this point the crusaders animosity towards Islam and the Khilafah was revived and plans were hatched to deal with this "Oriental Problem" as it became known.

Count Henri Decastri, a French author wrote in his book entitled ‘Islam' in 1896:
"I cannot imagine what the Muslims would say if they heard the tales of the mediaeval ages and understood what the Christian orators used to say in their hymns; all our hymns even those which emerged before the 12th century emanated from one concept which was the cause of the crusades, these hymns were filled with hatred towards the Muslims due to the total ignorance of their religion. As a result of those hymns and songs, hatred against that religion became fixed in people's minds, and the erroneous ideas deeply rooted, some of which are still carried nowadays. Everyone used to regard the Muslims as polytheists, disbelievers, idol worshippers and apostates."

After their defeat the crusaders realised that the cause of Muslims strength and resolve was the Islamic Aqeeda. As long as Muslims were strongly attached to Islam and the Qur'an the Khilafah could never be destroyed. This is why at the end of the 16th century they established the first missionary centre in Malta and made it their headquarters for launching a missionary onslaught against the Muslim world. This was the beginning of western culture entering the Muslim world by British, French and American missionaries.

These missionaries worked under the guise of educational and scientific institutions. Initially their effect on the Muslims was minimal. But during the 18th and 19th centuries when decline had set in to the Khilafah the missionaries managed to exploit weaknesses in the state and spread corrupted concepts to the people. In the 19th century Beirut became the centre for missionary activity. During this time the missionaries exploited civil strife between Christians and Druze and later Christians and Muslims, with Britain siding with the Druze and France siding with the Christian Maronites.

The missionaries had two main objectives during this time.

1. To separate the Arabs from the Uthmani state
2. To alienate the Muslims from the bond of Islam

In 1875 the "Secret Association" was formed in Beirut in an attempt to encourage Arab nationalism among the people. Through declarations and leaflets it called for the political independence of the Arabs, especially those in Syria and Lebanon. Those in charge repeatedly accused Turkey in their literature of snatching the Islamic Khilafah from the Arabs, violating the Islamic Shari'ah, and abusing the Deen.

These seeds of Arab nationalism came to fruition in 1916 when Britain ordered its agent Sharif Hussein of Mecca to launch the Arab Revolt against the Uthmani Khilafah. This revolt was successful in dividing the Arab lands from the Khilafah and placing them under British and French mandates.

At the same time nationalism was being incited among the Turks. The Young Turks movement was established in 1889 on the basis of Turkish nationalism and achieved power in 1908 after ousting Khaleefah Abdul-Hamid II. The traitor Mustafa Kemal who went on to abolish the Khilafah was a member of the Young Turks. This is why Mustafa Kemal later said: "Was it not because of the Khilafah, Islam and the clergy that the Turkish peasants fought and died for five centuries? It is high time Turkey looked after her own interests and ignored the Indians and the Arabs. Turkey should rid itself of leading the Muslims."

Alongside the missionary activities Britain and France along with Russia began to directly colonise many parts of the Muslim world. This started during the mid eighteenth century when in 1768 Catherine II of Russia fought the Khilafah and successfully occupied the lands of Southern Ukraine, Northern Caucasus, and Crimea which became incorporated in to the Russian Empire. France attacked Egypt and Britain began its occupation of India. In the 19th century France occupied North Africa and Britain occupied Egypt, Sudan and India. Gradually, the lands of the Khilafah were receding until the end of the 1st world war when all that was left was Turkey, which was occupied by allied troops under the command of a British general named Charles Harrington.

The division of the lands of the Khilafah was a deliberate agreement hatched by Britain and France in 1916 in the secret agreement known as Sykes-Picot. This plan was negotiated between French diplomat François Georges-Picot and British diplomatic advisor Mark Sykes. Under the agreement Britain was allocated control of Jordan, Iraq and a small area around Haifa. France was allocated control of South-eastern Turkey, Northern Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. The controlling powers were left free to decide on state boundaries within these areas. The Middle Eastern map today is the legacy of Sykes-Picot with the borders matching Mr Sykes and Mr Picot's lines drawn using a ruler over the former lands of the Khilafah.

In the years preceeding the destruction of the Khilafah, Britain played the most important role through nurturing its agent Mustafa Kemal. Through a number of political maneuvers aided by Britain, Mustafa Kemal was able to establish himself as an authority within Turkey. In 1922, the Lausanne conference was organised by the British foreign Secretary Lord Curzon to discuss Turkey's independence. Turkey at that time was under the occupation of the allied forces with the institution of the Khilafah existing in all but name. During this conference Lord Curzon stipulated four conditions prior to recognising the independence of Turkey. These conditions were:

1. The total abolishment of the Khilafah
2. The expulsion of the Khalifah beyond the borders
3. The confiscation of its assets
4. Declaration that Turkey become a secular state

The success of the conference rested on the fulfilment of these four conditions. However, even with such foreign pressure many Muslims within Turkey still cherished the idea of Khilafah, which had served Islam so well for so many centuries and found it inconceivable that it could ever be abolished. Hence, Lord Curzon failed to secure these conditions and the conference wound up in failure. Yet, the cunning Lord Curzon on behalf of Britain did not give up. On the 3rd March 1924 Mustafa Kemal using force and terrorising his political opponents managed to push through the Abolition bill that would see the institution of Khilafah officially abolished.

For the colonialists powers destroying the Khilafah was not enough. They wanted to ensure that the Khilafah could never arise again among the Muslims.

Lord Curzon said, "We must put an end to anything which brings about any Islamic unity between the sons of the Muslims. As we have already succeeded in finishing off the Caliphate, so we must ensure that there will never arise again unity for the Muslims, whether it be intellectual or cultural unity."

Therefore, they placed a number of obstacles in the path of re-establishing the Khilafah such as:

1. The introduction of the non-Islamic concepts in the Islamic world such as patriotism, nationalism, socialism and secularism and the colonialists encouragement of political movements based on these ideas

2. The presence of educational curriculum set up by the colonial powers, which have remained in tact for 80 years, that made the majority of the graduated young people and those in the educational institutions proceed in a direction contradictory to Islam

3. The economic strangulation of the Muslim world by western governments and companies such that the people live in abject poverty and are forced to focus solely upon feeding themselves and their families whilst turning away from the true role of the colonialists

4. The deliberate legacy of dividing the Muslim world around contentious borders and territories such that Muslims would permanently be engaged in petty issues

5. The creation of organisations such as the Arab League and later the Organisation of Islamic countries (OIC) that diluted the bonds of Islam, continued the disunity of the Muslim world whilst failing miserably to solve any problem or issue

6. The imposition of a foreign state, Israel, into the heart of the Muslim world that would spearhead the western powers assault upon defenceless Muslims while perpetuating the myth of Muslim inferiority

7. The presence in the Muslim countries of tyrant rulers whose allegiance is to their western masters; whom oppress and torture the Ummah; they are not from the Ummah and hate the Ummah just as much as the Ummah hates them

Despite these obstacles and the plots and plans of the colonialists the re-establishment of the Khilafah is once again a reality for the Muslim world. We must take this opportunity on the anniversary of the destruction of the Khilafah to reflect on the current situation of the Muslims and ensure that only by working to bring back the Khilafah can we truly achieve success in this life and the next.

This is an open letter to Bro. Myers.
Thank you for sharing your testimony. Like you I was brought up a christian, became disillusioned and was determined to find the truth as i have now been feeling the liberalism and paganism that is coming to the fore in the church.

I decided to read about Islam and its faith. I have read the Qu'ran and to my disappointment, and with respect to the Muslim fraternity, I found it to be very disjointed, repetitive, without context and unchronicled. Not that that is a major problem. Apart from some contradictions (ie. Scriptures vs the Qu'ran) I have learnt nothing new.I also found that because of obligatory prayers and the conditions of acceptance of these prayers, I found I could not enter into a personal relationship with YHWH. I also have a problem with some of the 5 pillars of Islam which I cannot reconcile with the teachings of the Qu'ran.

I then wanted to Know more about Mohammed and his teachings. But alas I could not find anything. I still cannot. I am told they are in the Hadiths. But I am also told that some Hadiths are totally unreliable. Hence my reluctance to read them.

By chance I met a Jew and related my dilemma. He said to me. "Did G-d create a religion?" Perplexed, I said "Yes, He created the jewish faith, then the christian faith and now the muslim faith". He then asked me. "Oh! So G-d creates 3 or more faiths?"" OK then, on what faith is the Torah based? I said, "The Jewish faith?" And on what faith is the New Testament based" I replied "The christian faith".

He then said to me "On what basis do you make those assumptions" I then said, " that is what I was taught."

He then said to me "If you believe in the Jewish faith then follow the Jews. If you believe in the christian faith then follow the christians. And if you believe in the muslim faith then follow the muslims. You have a choice. But I believe in YHWH the Almighty. And YHWH is NOT about a choice".

If you believe in YHWH then follow his teachings and the commandments".
I then said "but you are a Jew and you do not accept the new testament?"
He then said, "Whether I accept the new testament or not is not relevant. What is relevant is your conscience and your relationship with the Almighty and the word He has given to us"

Being persistent, I asked him, "But you don't accept the new testament? He said "Yes I do". "I believe in the Messiah and HIS resurrection" But this does not make me a christian". "I can also believe in Allah and Mohammed. But neither does it make me a muslim." "I follow what the scriptures revealed directly through Moses right through the ages, I follow HIS word and that is what is important."

You see, I have read the scriptures, and what I have been told my muslim brothers, that it is full of corruptions. I have tried my damndest to find these corruptions. All to no avail. I have even asked some muslim friends to show me these corruptions. To date no response. This is where I'd like to hear your views.

In the absense of all these claims and from what I read about YESHUA, how can I possibly forsake HIS teachings and deeds in favour of Mohammed?

The word 'assumptions' and 'relationship'(is what he said) are 2 words that have struck a chord in my heart. It made me think long and hard. It made me decide that G-d had no reason to create a 'religion'. He gave us HIS word through his scriptures and that my friend is my faith. YHWH is my faith. HE IS the faith. Thank you.

Hi BG,

First of all I want to convey to you that: in case Allaah (swt) does not want you to embrace Islam and believe in Him the way he wants you to believe in Him the whole world would not be able to make you embrace Islam, even if the Pope said it publicaly and live that the the Bible is corrupt, or that Islam is the True Way of life.

"Allâh has sent down the best statement, a Book (this Qur'ân), its parts resembling each other in goodness and truth, oft-repeated. The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it (when they recite it or hear it). Then their skin and their heart soften to the remembrance of Allâh. That is the guidance of Allâh. He guides therewith whom He pleases and whomever Allâh sends astray, for him there is no guide." Chapter: Az-Zumar (39) Verse #: 23

Actualy the Scritpures and the Qur'an do not contradict each other (meaning the original scriptures - Tawraat(Torah) Injeel (the Gospel)) rather the scriptures of today contradict themsleves.

And although this is the second time you are asking for us to show you where the Bible has been corrupted I wanted not do that because this is not the correct way. We simply show you the Truth that was sent down to Muhammad (saws) in the Qur'an and his authenticaly proven Sunnah (Hadeeth - What Are Hadith? ex.:Bukhari and Muslim collections). And then you decide whether you are ready to see the Truth or not it is up to Allaah (swt) to make you enter al-Islaam.

But since you insist on that, I can bring you loads and loads of evidence which the very christian theologians have admitted to the contradictions, to the addings and subtractings in the Bible, like the trinity verse in KJV has been removed in RSV, and many many others. Here's a couple of other sources: Contradictions and proofs of Historical Corruptions in the Bible

See: Who wrote the Bible?! - from their own sources!

Also I would like to mention it seems to me that you have not read the Qur'an (and if any verses who knows from what author of the translation of its meaning) and neither the Sunnah (tha ahadeeth) and you have not bothered to do so. Because if you had done so with an open mind and no prejudice you would at least say that it is different, unique, it teaches perfect morals and ethics, and a profound teaching of how to live ones life in peace and sincere way, with no cantradictions within, and never being changed, and more and more virtues, values and guidance that one can get from the Qur'an, see:What they say about Islam, the Qur'an and Muhammad

Preservation of the Qur'an

How Do You Benefit From the Qur'aan

"Verily, this Qur'ân guides to that which is most just and right and gives glad tidings to the believers (in the Oneness of Allâh and His Messenger, Muhammad SAW, etc.). who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a great reward (Paradise)." Chapter: Al-Isra (17) Verse #: 9

"And had Allâh willed, He could have made you (all) one nation, but He sends astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. But you shall certainly be called to account for what you used to do." Chapter: An-Nahl (16) Verse #: 93

"Allâh has sent down the best statement, a Book (this Qur'ân), its parts resembling each other in goodness and truth, oft-repeated. The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it (when they recite it or hear it). Then their skin and their heart soften to the remembrance of Allâh. That is the guidance of Allâh. He guides therewith whom He pleases and whomever Allâh sends astray, for him there is no guide." Chapter: Az-Zumar (39) Verse #: 23


And to answer your jews point of view, from what I can understand is that the jew believes himself in neither of them, because none of the existing scriptures agree in the basic tenets of faith. It seems that he only wanted to say something to hide either his ignorance (lack of knowledge in faith) or in order to not show you his rejection towards the two latter scriptures, he simply tried to confuse you further more with groundless, illogical and silly arguments which I don't want to discuss for they prove nothing. (and Allaah knows best).

And you do not forsake the teachings of Jesus (peace be upon him) by excepting Muhammad (saws) as the last Messenger at all, on the contrary, you fulfil them. See:
MUHAMMAD (PBUH)
THE NATURAL SUCCESSOR TO CHRIST (PBUH)

Also : What did Jesus really say


You are responsible for you own actions BG, and you will be taken into account for you own deeds, noone else is going to be with you when you are going to be asked whether you searched or really bothered to search for the Truth on that Day.
So I can only suggest you to sit down and browse through what I have proposed you and sincerely open your mind and heart, thats all I can do to advise you.

I hope you take into consideration my advice given to you and start listening to your clear thinking and your open heart.

And it is only Allaah (swt) Who guides whom He wants.

Thank you for your time and bye for now.

brother it is ypur time that is precious! i appreciate your effort but please save your energie for people who really are willing to learn and come to us with a spirit of humility and genuine curiosity as correctly quoted it is allah swt that guides whom he wants or whom is willing to be guided i will try to post imschallah a thread about the relation predestination/freewill but it is going to take me some time cause i have to translate it from another language at the same time


I gave her books to read written by their own christian theologians(gerd
lüdemann,paul schwarznau,john hick....etc) i gave her links about video

debates dr zakir naikthe books of brother deedat(rahimahoullah),i gave her a book about the war in palestine written by a jewish journalist and intellectual

that won the pulizer price and got amazing critics from new york times,frankfürter allgemein zeitung ....etc it is called"HOW ISRAEL LOST"by Richard Ben Cramer (he is not a muslim so at least his objective and critical analisis won`t be viewed as subjectiv by some stuburn skeptics!)

I quoted for her some verses from the old testament that are blasphemic to be considered the word of god(*!*!*!*!ographie,incest,cruelty towards beasts and women........).seriously i don`t think that she managed to view all that that material in just a week!!!! and am sure other brothers and sisters did much more with the genuin intention of doing their duty and showing love and generosity to their fellow human beings.


I don`t know why some people come here with the urgent need of telling everybody that they are sons of god ,that that same god has a mother which is at the same time the mother of his son, that god has a grand father and grand mother which ancestres happen to be adam and eve,what games are you playing people! this is not a place to build your familly tree this is an islamic website not the city hall! wassalam

Alhamdulillah and Subhanallah. Allah is the one who gives hidayah and He is the one who takes it away. Thankful to the God that has chosen Byers from million of people out there to give the hidayah and enlightenment.

There is logical and rational in Islam. We learn God's creation from science of their occurances, and thru science we get to know better about Allah.

This universe wasn't happened by itself, neither by accidentally. The expansion rate of outer space is so critical that even a step slower or faster could destroy the whole thing. Don't all the Kafirs know that our earth's axis is tilted 23 degrees 32' 19" relative to the sun? And how about the distance of earth's orbiting apart from the sun? What if it happens to be nearer or further...? And i don't think living creatures could survive! That is Allmighty Allah, He creates everything with aims and reasons.

Even a cockroach contributes to human in a way that human could be more hygiene and keep their place clean to get rid of this little creature.
