Why did I Embrace Islam

This is an extract from Dr. Gronier, a French
MP, who embraced Islam. Revealing the reason
of embracing Islam he said, I read all of the
Ayat (Quranic verses), which have a relation to
medical, health, and natural sciences that I
studied before and have a wide knowledge of. I
found that these verses are totally compatible
with and give a picture of our modern sciences.
Thus, I embraced Islam as it was obvious that
Muhammad revealed the Absolute Truth more
than a thousand years ago. Had every
specialist, artist or scientist compared those
Quranic verses to his own specialization,
beyond the shadow of doubt he would embrace
Islam, especially if he has a sound mentality
and goodwill to search for the truth and not a
mentally defective person with the intentions of
<<malevolent aims
Islam is the last religion to be sent to the
world , every religion had proofs that
authenticated its Divine source . God
foreordained that Islam would be the last
, message to the world
so it must comprise many miracles that could
be categorized under six categories , among
them in this age , being the age of science , what
is termed as the scientific miracles which
 science has recently proved them amazingly .
let alone the scientific miracle , as we are going
to talk about the unseen matters news . Prophet
Mohummed had depicted and given prophecies
concerning our generation and the many
generation to come . In fact , these prophecies
which can't be easily enumerated , have come
. true
As to the miracle of the unseen news , prophet
Mohummed gave a large number of them ;
some of them happened during his life , others
directly after his death . Every age witnessed
the fulfilment some of these . The large portion
of these prophecies go to our age . Insha Allah ,
.we will tackle these in the coming studies
Some of these prophecies , as prophet
Mohummed determined , are portents of the of
the doomsday . we ,now , are approaching that
. day according to the Devine calculation
The miracle of the unseen tackled that the
different phases of life , these tackled the social
life , economic life , techmological life , political
strifes and wars . Though ther are fearful , they
prove the true phrophethood of prophet
Mohummed . What we are giving here are just
two portents that reflect the social and
economic life .The Bedouins , in the life of
prophet Mohummed , used to lead a very
simple life . They used to live in very simple
 houses out of mud and palm leaves . The
discovery of oil made a revolution in every
thing in the life of the bedouin . Contraray to
the life they used to lead , they ,now , live in
very tall structures but even they compete in
building very high structures

Here are two Hadith ( traditional sayings of
prophet mohummed ) that talk about two
. prophecies that have come true
It is narrated in Sahih Muslim that Allah's
Apostle (peace be upon him) said to his
companions ( through a long conversation
about the signs of the last hour) ask me but the
companions of the prophet embarrassed to ask
him. Then there appeared before us a man and
sat with the Apostle (peace be upon him) He
knelt before him placed his palms on his thighs
and said: Muhammad, inform me about al-
Islam. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon
him) said: Al-Islam implies that you testify that
there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad
is the messenger of Allah, and you establish
prayer, pay Zakat, observe the fast of
Ramadan. He (the inquirer) said: You have
told the truth. He (the inquirer) said: Inform
me about Iman (faith). He (the Holy Prophet)
replied: That you affirm your faith in Allah, in
His angels, in His Books, in His Apostles, in the
 Day of Judgment, and you affirm your faith in
the Divine Decree about good and evil. He (the
inquirer) said: You have told the truth. He (the
inquirer) again said: Inform me about al-Ihsan
(performance of good deeds). He (the Holy
Prophet) said: That you worship Allah as if you
are seeing Him, for though you don't see Him,
He, verily, sees you. He (the enquirer) again
said: Inform me about the hour (of the Doom).
He (the Holy Prophet) remarked: One who is
asked knows no more than the one who is
inquiring (about it). He (the inquirer) said: Tell
me some of its indications. He (the Holy
Prophet) said: That the slave-girl will give birth
to her mistress and master, that you will find
barefooted, destitute goat-herds vying with one
another in the construction of magnificent
. buildings
Man installed hundreds of marine stations to
study the characteristics of various seas.
Scientists have found out that the differences in
these characteristics distinguished one sea from
another. But why do these seas not mix and
become homogeneous in spite of the effect of
tide and ebb that moves sea water twice a day,
and causes seas to move forward and backward
turbulently, besides other factors that cause sea
water to be in continuous movement and
turbulence, such as surface and internal waves
 ?and sea currents
The answer appeared for the first time in
scientific books in 1361 AH/1942 AD. Extensive
studies of marine characteristics revealed that
there are water barriers separating
neighboring seas and maintaining the
distinctive properties of each sea with respect
to density, salinity, marine life, temperature
.and solubility of oxygen in water

There are large waves, strong currents, and

tides in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic
Ocean. Mediterranean Sea water enters the
Atlantic by Gibraltar. But their temperature,
salinity, and densities do not change, because of
.the barrier that separates them
After 1962 AD there was known the role of sea
barriers in modifying the properties of the
water masses that pass from one sea to another,
to prevent one sea from overwhelming the
other. So salty seas retain their own properties
.and boundaries by virtue of these barriers
A field study comparing the waters of Oman
Gulf and those of the Arabian Gulf has shown
the difference between them regarding their
chemical properties, the prevalent vegetation
.and the barrier separating them
About a hundred years of research and study
has been required to discover the fact of the
existence of barriers between sea water masses
and their role in making each sea retain its own
properties. Hundred of researchers took part
and numerous precise scientific instruments
.and equipment were used to achieve that
Fourteen centuries ago the Holy Qur’an
.revealed this fact
We can conclude the following from the
:discussion above
The Holy Qur’an, which was revealed more
than 14 centuries ago, includes very precise
pieces of information and knowledge about
marine phenomena that have been discovered
only recently by means of very sophisticated
equipment. An instance in this respect is the
.existence of water barriers between seas
The historical development of Oceanography
shows that no precise information had been
available on seas before Challenger Expedition
(in 1873 AD), let alone at the time when the
Holy Qur’an was being revealed 14 centuries
ago to an illiterate Prophet that lived in a
.desert environment and never traveled by sea
Oceanography has witnessed no advances
except in the last two centuries, particularly in
the latter half of the twentieth century. Prior to
that a sea was considered as something fearful
and mysterious. Myths and superstitions were
fabricated about it. Sea voyagers were only
 interested in their own safety and how to find
the correct routes during their long journeys.
Man discovered that salt seas are different only
in the thirties of the twentieth century, after
thousands of marine stations had been
established by researchers to analyze samples
of sea water to measure the differences between
the degrees of temperature, salinity, density
and oxygen dissolubility in the sea water
recorded at all those stations, and then realize
.that salt seas are different
Man did not know anything about the barrier
that separates between salt seas till the
establishment of the aforesaid stations, and
after spending a long time tracing these wavy
moving barriers that change their geographical
.locations with the change of seasons
Man did not know that the water masses of the
two seas are separated by a water barrier and
are mixed at the same time till he started
studying with his ships and equipment the
water movement in the meeting region of the
seas and analyzing the water masses in those
.regions
Man did not apply this rule to all seas that meet
together except after vast scientific surveying,
investigation and verification of this
phenomenon, which occurs between each pair
.of adjacent seas in the world
 Now then, did Allah’s Messenger (Peace be
upon him) own stations and equipment for
analyzing water and the ability to trace the
movement of various water masses? Did he
carry out a comprehensive surveying process,
although he never sailed the sea and lived at a
time when superstitions were prevalent,
particularly in the field of seas? Were, at the
time of Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him)
such researches, instruments and studies as are
available for the oceanographers of today who
have discovered all these secrets by means of
?research and study
This knowledge, which the Qur’an came with,
included a precise de******ion of the subtlest
secrets at a time when humanity could never
have known them, which indicates that its
source is Divine
Regarding praying to Makkah at whose**
middle the Kaaba and the Inviolable Mosque
lie, Allah orders us in the Qur’an to do so: “So
turn your face towards the Inviolable Mosque;
and wherever you are, then turn your faces
towards it.” (The Cow 144[a5]) Various studies,
among which one was done by Dr. Hussein
Kamal Ad Din, Head of the Department of
Survey Engineering at RiyadhUniversity,
proved that Makkah is the center of earth. Dr.
Robert G. Coleman (3[a6]), StanfordUniversity
 in USA, did a study on the center of earth
gravity and the point in which gravity
cosmological radiations meet (the meeting point
magnetic gravitational radiations) on earth; he
found that this center is Makkah. Makkah,
then, is the center of the seven continents as
well as the meeting point of magnetic
..gravitational radiations
As for going around the Kaaba anticlockwise, it
is consistent with the movement of the whole
universe: from the atom to the galaxy. Going
around is a cosmological phenomenon that
includes everything. The electron goes around
the nucleus, the moons go around their planets,
the planets go around their suns, the suns and
the stars go around the centers of their
galaxies, and even energy goes around in its
paths; all these movements are anticlockwise. It
is the same direction of the Hajji going around

salma Bouafair ( Soufi Bouafair )- M.D in
teaching French and mathematics
The story of this woman is an extraordinary
example of the long tiring intellectual journey
through which those who converted to Islam
always undergo . She embodies the real
challenging will and introduces a good
courageous intellectual mind which is to be
considered the finest kind of courage at all. She
 :proudly narrated her story as follows
I was born in 1971 in Montreal, Canada. I “
was grown up within a religious Catholic
family , so I used to go to church until I was 14
years old when I started to have my personal
questions about our Creator and the different
religions...I have always believed in God and in
His power and in His greatness, so I have
studied different religions seeking for any
convincing answers for my endless questions
but again I could not find what I was looking
for… I was so confused and distracted until I
started my university. There I came to know a
Muslim young man , who introduced Islam to
me. I was so overwhelmed as it was an easy way
to track the answers for my doubts and
questions. It took me a whole year just to study
such a religion, and the result was that I was
obsessed by Islam to the bones. I was further
overwhelmed when I saw how the Moslems -in
their prayers- adoringly prostrate themselves
to God, it is some thing I could not find in any
other religion. I was obsessed by such touching
movements which the worshipper performs...
they convey nothing but peace of mind ,
politeness and a perfect act of worship, it seems
as if he really feels that he is at the hands of
.God
I started attending the mosque where I could
find many other Canadian Muslim sisters, who
encouraged me to follow my track to Islam. I
wore the veil in an attempt to test my will, and
two weeks later came the true moment when I
testified that there are no other gods but Allah,
the One, and that Muhammad (PBUH) is His
.prophet and messenger
