I Would Not Have Been Muslim If …
It is ironic that it is Muslims ourselves who are often the biggest roadblock in a person’s path towards the Truth. Umar Lee reflects on his own path towards Islam, showing how the “Progressive” mentality that is popular these days actually turns people away from Islam. We might think that by compromising on certain aspects of the deen, we will make Islam seem less “foreign” and more acceptable to people. But in reality, that which makes Islam unique also makes it beautiful.
What would have happened if I would have went to a masjid whose only religious activity is interfaith and where there is a minimal observance of the Sunnah? What if I was told Muslims, Christians, and Jews are one big happy family? That essentially we all believe the same thing we just call God by different names? That on matters of the family we refer to child psychology and not the Sunnah? That on gender relations we refer to feminism and not the Sunnah? That on business matters we refer to the Wharton School instead of the Sunnah school? That yes we believe in Tauheed but those who believe the Creator had a son are also believed in Tauheed?
