Torrent description

You agree that we become Muslims only by accepting Islam. But what does
acceptance of Islam mean? Does it mean that whoever makes a verbal profession-‘I
am a Muslim’ or ‘I have accepted Islam’-becomes a true Muslim? Or does it mean
that, just as a Brahman worshipper may recite a few words of Sanskrit without
understanding them, a man who utters some Arabic phrases without knowing their
meaning becomes a Muslim? What reply will you give to this question? You Cannot but
answer that accepting Islam means that Muslims should consciously and deliberately
accept what has been taught by the Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be on
him, and act accordingly. People who do not so behave are not Muslims in the true
sense.
No Islam Without Knowledge
Islam, therefore, consists, firstly, of knowledge and, secondly, of putting that
knowledge into practice. A man can be white and have no knowledge; because he is
born white he will remain so. Similarly, an Englishman will remain an Englishman
though he may have no knowledge, because he has been born an Englishman. But no
man becomes truly a Muslim without knowing the meaning of Islam, because he
becomes a Muslim not through birth but through knowledge. Unless you come to know
the basic and necessary teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be
on him, how can you believe in him, have faith in him, and how can you act according
to what he taught? And if you do not have faith in him knowingly and consciously, as
fully as you can, how can you become true Muslims?
