Why is Everyone Converting to Islam?

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم

 As rapidly as society continues to degenerate, a regular John attends concerts for entertainment and fulfilment and proceeds to jump an uncountable number of times to a human on the stage with high-frequency alternating background music corrupting the soul. This confuses even the brain, and it contemplates, is this actual happiness? In the midst of a depressed mind, the human soul yearns even deeper for guidance and seeks the creator of the universe and the One who created it. Whenever we have a problem, we tend to direct our attention to getting mental support from, perhaps, services provided for making a buck, such as therapists, mental health consultants, etc. Why would you pay someone 50 dollars an hour to listen to your problems when you have God? Once therapists don’t work, people head toward the harmful route—consumption of drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes as a coping mechanism for emotions to go aside, and so on. Humans often fail to realize that the war is within the heart and mind; mere compartmentalization of these thoughts will only get you so far. Allah SWT has informed us:

📜 Verse: [41:53] سَنُرِيهِمْ آيَاتِنَا فِي الْأَفَاقِ وَفِي أَنفُسِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ ۗ أَوَلَمْ يَكْفِ بِرَبِّكَ أَنَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

📝 Translation: We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness?

Perhaps you have realized that a creator must exist, or perhaps you are new to researching Islam from the proper sources. If you’re on this journey, may Allah bless you because you are under the guiding light of God, reading and researching for hours day & night to find God. With the possession of an unbiased mind and truly trusting your instincts and inner voice, you start to realize that things actually make sense. “A man reading is handsome in the sight of God”. After months, years, and decades, societal factors such as family religion, news propaganda, work environment, etc. won’t affect you. Truth unites, and falsehood disunites. Maybe that’s why popular influencers such as Andrew Tate, boxing legends Mike Tyson, and Muhammad Ali, among many other examples, found the truth. These thoughts would only catch you yearning to recognize the Lord Allah SWT. Notice whatever I’m explaining right now. Allah has already decreed that each person will contemplate the signs. He says "within themselves" in the above verse, implying introspection and self-awareness, which can lead to the recognition of Allah and purpose implanted within one's own being.

Think. Contemplate. Ask Questions. Be sincere. God is watching.


ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Shah Saud Zaman

Born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, originally from Pakistan, as an Electrical and Electronics Engineering student at Asia Pacific University (APU), Malaysia, I am interested in topics such as Islam, History, Psychology, Current Affairs, Fitness etc. I started this blog in January of 2024 through the guidance of God and I want to share even the tiniest of knowledge bestowed to me by Allah ﷻ. It is my humble responsibility to be writing to the best of my ability through the little knowledge out of his vast provision bestowed to me by Allah azzawajal. I am currently a student of knowledge and not an Islamic scholar. I am inspiring others through my work to write and propagate the message of Islam, as it is a responsibility bestowed by God. I recommend people to engage in contemplation, tafakkur, tadabbur, as we are all heading towards Allah SWT every minute that passes. We must be prepared and present a good record in front of HIm. We must seek his refuge from the punishment and at the same time have hope in the infinite mercy of Allah azzawajal. Be the soldiers, warriors, helpers, righteous, torch bearers of knowledge, and righteous slaves of Allah SWT in this world.
