Important Message to Non Muslims

If anyone has a real desire to be a Muslim and has full conviction and strong

belief that Islam is the true religion ordained by Allah for all human-beings,

then, one should pronounce the "Shahada", the testimony of faith, without

further delay. The Holy Qur'an is explicit on this regard as Allah states:

"The Religion in the sight of Allah is Islam." (Qur'an 3:19)

In another verse of the Holy Qur'an, Allah states:

"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (Submission to Allah), Never

will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those

who have lost."(Qur'an 3:85)

If a person does not pronounce the Shahada and enter Islaam, we cannot

say that he is a Muslim, even if he admired Islaam and recognized that it the

best religion, a great religion, and so on. Abu Taalib, the uncle of the Prophet

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died a kaafir (non-Muslim),

and Allaah forbade His Prophet to pray for forgiveness for him, even though

he used to defend the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)

and said in his poems: "I do know that the religion of Muhammad is better than

all other religions of mankind; were it not for fear of blame or slander, you would

find me accepting it completely."
