Epilogue

This book has dealt with the most important claims and allegations which have been made against Islam in the past and in the present. These allegations represent the relentless and constant attempts made by the enemies of Islam to destroy the cohesive structure of this religion which Allah has willed as the seal of divine religions sent to the inhabitants of this  earth.

The Holy Qur'an itself has noted the stand of its enemies who have tried to find vagueness, obscurity and contradictions in it, as is the case with books written by human beings. The Qur'an notes that the reason it is free from contradictions is simply because it has come from Allah : “If it had not come from God, they could have surely found in it many contradictions” (Nisaa', 82).

What is important for us here is that the Muslim must serve as an exemplary model of the ethics of Islam. He must spread Islam using wisdom and good manners. In fact, the best method to achieve serene persuasion lies in the use of rational proof and the exact text. This is the method we have tried to use in this book either in the brief and simplified  conceptualization of Islam we have tried to depict to you or in our objective reply to the most important and common allegations that are made against Islam and Muslims.

We would also like to ask our non-Muslim readers to leave aside, be it only for a while, the claims and allegations made against Islam which may have prejudiced their opinion of Islam and to make of the quest for Truth their sole objective. The issue here is not one about a political or economic ideology which, if propagated, would benefit Muslims. What we are dealing with here is a divine religion which has been sent by Allah to free all human beings from the darkness of misgivings and suspicions and to lead them to the path of Eternal Happiness.

May Allah make us of those who listen to the word and follow the best of it.

May Peace be bestowed upon those who have embraced the true religion.
