Why Islam appeals to me
The writer of these lines is a converted to Islam. To the western mind, the chief appeal of Islammust be its simplicity.There are one or two other faiths which are as easy of approach but they sadly lack the Faith of the Prophet(may Allah bless him!), and the spiritual and moral elevation which it offers.

The simple austerity of Islam cannot appeal to emotional men or hysterical women, or those who love the histrionic in religion.For such there is room in religions other then Islam. Such cannot find satisfaction but in places and systems where the eye is pleased with a riot of gorgeous colour, the ear charmed with classical music and the heart moved by profusely flowered altars and pathetic tableaux. For there is no appeal whatever to the brain. And what is more, in some of these religions one is not permitted to think~1(see below) for oneself in religious matters. The brain must be primarily and receptacle for anything the ordained priest chooses to plant there.

What a contrast we find in the Holy Prophet's injunction to his followers: "Seek knowledge, though it be available only in China."

The Holy Prophet (may Allah bless him!) was aware of the enormity of the sin of attempting to atrophy man's intelligence.

Islam must also appeal by virtue of its tolerance. Muslims are taught to venerate all the prophets of God, including Jesus Christ. Strangely enough, it was Christian intolerance that awakened my first interst in Islam.
While yet a boy, I attended a missionary lecture and was greatly impressed by some of the speakers who had lived among the "Bloodthirsty Mohammedans" When, a few years later, I had the good fortune to listen to a Muslim Missionary, I was greatly impressed by his wonderfull forbearance in dealing with a crowd who had left their own (Christian) meeting to heckle the "healthen." His words greatly impressed me and shattered completely my staunch Christian beliefs.

On several occasions, having asked a Christian priest a certain question, I have been answeared thus: "I cannot tell you but you must believe it; that is where `Faith´ comes in."

How different is Islam wherein no question is beyond or beneath answearing!

Goethe, after reading the Holy Quran, remarked: "If this is Islam, then every thinking man among us is in fact a Muslim."

The Churches are utterly incapable of grappling with the present-day problems. Islam alone offers the solution. This seems to be a mere assertion. But a little thought convinces us of this truth.

The mind of the western world has been for too long prejudiced against Islam.

Now and then a shaft of light comes through from unexpected sources as, for instance, when Genereal Smuts stated a few years ago that for each convert of the combined Christian churches in Africa, Islam gets ten
