Between 2001 and 2011, more than a million people adopted Islam in Britain, 50 percent of whom later crossed it
Only 1400 years ago, Islam is the world's fastest-growing religion. And Islamophobia is the biggest crisis that has been presented before the world in the past decade and a half. These two things about this religion are contradictory. If Islam is so scary, why is it spreading so fast all over the world? And if it is so attractive that people around the world are adopting it, then why are those who do not believe in it so filled with fear and confusion?
After examining this question, different opinions come from Islam, its people and those who do not believe. First of all, we try to understand the points that make Islam very attractive.
Ali Amani of Kabul, who is a student of sociology at Delhi's South Asian University, says about this, "Because Islam came after Judaism and Christianity, so it was included in the good things of these two religions. After the arrival of Islam in the seventh century, the Khalifas of the eighth century translated the works of Greek philosophers of Aristotle etc. into Arabic, had a great deal of influence on it. Although Christianity and Judaism who believed in a god had already reached there.
But the people of the Arabian Peninsula were divided into so many tribes, groups, deities and Gods, that the religious leaders of a great height could only make them one. In such a situation, Muhammad Sahib came out with a new religion which came out to be a place for all kinds of people, for all there was faith in equality and justice was done. "According to Ali, this equality and justice are still trusting Islam makes.
While exploring Iran's geopolitics at Jawaharlal Nehru University, Deepika Saraswat further clarifies the fascination for Islam, 'Islam is a modern religion. If, on the basis of theory, there is no cast system, no alphabets, no hierarchy here. All are equal in There is none between you and Allah. You only have to bow before Allah, believe in Him. There is no other authority. '
These principles of Islam drive modern youth towards themselves. According to a report by Britain's prestigious magazine, New Statesman, between 2001 and 2011, more than a million people in Islam adopted Islam in the UK. The most important thing in these figures is that 75% of them were women.
Why the UK's working women adopted Islam, a 2010 report from Delimiter investigates it. Many of these women adopted Islam because it was giving a better motive to their life, whereas many women did just change their religion because their spouse was a Muslim.
The reason for adoption of Islam of many white women was also that the values of the importance of elevating the honor of the elders and family and society in the teachings of the Qur'an were given importance, whereas in the western world these values were being lost in their place.
But another aspect of this is that in the first decade of the new century in Britain, about 50 percent of the people who adopted Islam have lost their belief in it later. Such people have made 'Council of Ex Muslims' in UK, where these people share their experiences associated with Islam.
So we see that even after the 1,400 years have passed, Islam is still attractive, but with this it has added something that is also compelling people to think about it in another way. Different people give different answers in this question. Islamic scholar Shiba Aslam Fahmi, who is pursuing PhD from JNU, asks a question before answering, "Do you or any of your family members and friends are suing someone with a Muslim? Has any Muslim misbehaved with you that a Hindu could not? They say that the culprit can be from any religion, and what Islamophobia is currently visible is America's donation
Deepika helps us understand how America could present Islam as such an enemy. They say that the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979 introduced Islam as a strong political ideology.
'This revolution was against Shah, the so-called secular policies governing Iran, which was protected by the United States. In 1953, the United States and Britain removed the popular Premier Mosaic, who had nationalized the Anglo-Iranian Oil Corporation, crowning Shah. Muhammad Raza Shah Pahlavi put the full strength in crushing the growing communist ideology in Iran on the directions of America.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Iran were America's weapons to keep West Asia and the Arab world away from communism and Soviet influence. In that period of political suppression, religious leaders like Ayatollah Khomeini were also displaced from Iran.
