In the name of Allah,the Beneficent,the Merciful
Islam has liberated man from mental bondage and trained its followers to search for the truth with open minds.Allah has honoured the human mind and made it a means of discovering the tokens of His existence and glory in the universe and understanding His Glorious Revelation.
Since the man was created the process of reproduction continued and from one man and woman god created the whole population of the earth which we see today.God has not only created man but He also created Jinn,Angels and Whatever is in the universe is His creation..
Kashmir has been a den for Buddisim,Hinduisim etc for centuries and people practicized their religion with any fear or cohesion .There are some people today making propaganda that Kashmiri Muslims are forced Muslims from Hindisim.Of course they don’t provide any authentic proof as we all know about the dubious attitude of Indian historians in writing History.These people unfortunately because of the lack of knowledge about Islam don’t know that there is absolutely no need for any Muslim to force any one to accept Islam as his religion.If a person accepts Islam for just showing to the people or showing to the ruler, He is not a Muslim but Hypocrite. To accept Islam one has to first understand about the concept of God.Islamic Monothesim,The purpose of life for which man was created.There were many prophets who came from time to time with the revelations of God.The last and final revelation was send on Mohammad(A.S) a Man in Makkah.Muslims believe in as "There is no god but God and Mohammad is the messenger of God.(A.S)"
.Mohammad (A.S) was send with a message towards Humanity. For whole mankind.He delivered his message and those who got His message they analysed it thoroughly with cool mind. Threw their arrogance aside and whomsoever God wanted to be on right path He accepted it and tried to carry forward the message of Islamic Monotheism to the other people living across the world.
Before the advent of ISLAM all mankind had degenerated into worst of states and the darkest of stages.
Not only Arabia was predominated by such pagan ignorance; the whole world suffered from it.There were two 'great' states Persia and Byzantium; they ruled most of the world at that time.Either had a historic civilization,but what was its basis and what was the mental.psychological and material standard of its people?
In Persia a 'Khosrau' ruled.He was not only merely a ruler,he was 'god'.The ceremonies of greetings were nearest to those of worship.People were really slaves to that god,living-whatever their rank and class was-in the way that Khosrau or his inherited royal traditions would allow.The official worship was that of fire.Morals had collapsed and
Mazdek's communism and permissiveness,dissolution and anarchy had spread.What mental,spiritual and material contempt man-under that civilization had lived in.
In Byzantium conditions were no better.Caesar was surrounded with the same halos as Khosrau,and people were,as in every state of ideological ignorance,masters and bondsmen.There was a creed!- a pagan creed guarded by the church and the clergy:God is one of three!Christ was the son of God!Bishops and monks were lords ruling the domain of minds and spirits contrary to gods revelations and taking the property of people unlawfully;whereas,Caesar was ruling the physical domain in accordance with the Roman Law(i.e not in accordance with the divine law).People were servants of the pope and his Bishops and monks on the other.
Now let us tak about the 'great Indian civilization' at that time
In India,as every where else,there were lords and bondsmen.
But bondsmen there had a peculiar position.They were believed to have been created from god's foot,so they were considered unclean.They had to endure all humiliation,contempt and torture they underwent;for on the one hand,that was their fate;and on the other, it was their sole way to salvation through transmigration of souls.Man according to them,spends his fixed life,then his soul passes into another new body.If the enslaved untouchables were satisfied with their fate,surrendered to humiliation and carried out the hardest and dirtiest pieces of work,their souls might pass into other persons superior to slaves and get thereby to their pursued salvation,though they wouldn't acquire the rank of their masters who were created from the deity's head or arm!
There were countless forms of worship offered to countless deities,but they had one thing in common,that is-ERROR.
Perhaps the most curious thing was 'temple prostitutes'who stayed in temples for the sake of deity!No,for the sake of Satan! But stranger still might the 'cow worship'- men wallowing in its dung and bathing in its urine,Drinking its urine with milk,for the sake of obtaining purity and god's blessing!If cow could have spoken it would have laughed at its worshippers and would have been surprised to see man,whom Allah has honoured,satisfied with such degradation
Also there was a religion Buddhism, as in the Indian religions, the body was despised and tortured for the redemption of the soul, and worldly life was scorned and rejected for the attainment of immortality.Immortality! But where? And in what form?
Arabia was drowned in religious ignorance, like the rest of mankind,There were three religions, all of which were misguided. Jews, who were living in the outskirts of Medina,had distorted their 'holy book' centuries before, stuffed it with lies and legends,changed the divine Revelation and renounced it wholly,complying with their whims and interests.

Arabia was drowned in religious ignorance, like the rest of mankind,There were three religions, all of which were misguided. Jews, who were living in the outskirts of Medina,had distorted their 'holy book' centuries before, stuffed it with lies and legends,changed the divine Revelation and renounced it wholly,complying with their whims and interests.
There were, also, small Christian groups who held false beliefs, such as Trinity, the deification of Jesus or considering him a son of God.Arab idolators throughout Arabia worshipped idols which were placed inside AL- KA'BA, the Holy House of God (Allah), The place which prophet Abraham(A.S) and Ismael(A.S) had been ordered by Allah to build in order that Allah alone should be worshipped without ascribing any partner to Him.Yet, they claimed they were followers of Abraham(A.S).A variety of myths had nested in their minds.Angels, for example,were the daughters of Allah and they were worshipped on that account.The Jinn(genies) belonged to Allah and were, therefore, worshipped. Idols were carved and then worshipped by people.Many new-born girls were burried alive for the fear of shame or poverty.Women were scorned and wronged.Wine was drunk, games of chance (i.e maysir) were used to, and adultery was allowed.Life was spent in drinking, amusement and plundering raids.'Man' was 'Lost' as was his case in all states of religious ignorance.That was the state of the world about Mohammad (A.S) was sent to save mankind from the darkness of error.
In this extremely dark atmosphere there shone a light; it was Mohammad son of Abdullah,(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
The Jews in Medina, before the prophethood of Mohammad (PBUH), had often said to its inhabitants, " The time of a prophet has almost arrived. We shall fight with him against you and defeat you'.The Jews,in fact,depended in their claim upon the Torah, Which indicates that the old copies of the Torah not only mentioned Prophet Mohammad's(A.S) name and description, but also pointed to his prophethood and its approximate time.
Now what was the message from the God for the people send through Mohammad(P.B.U.H).What made Kashmiri Hindus to accept Islam.
A. The revelations of Allah in Quran which cannot be corrupted as Allah has openly challenged anyone to do it.
B- The equality among people.
The Quran, the last revealed word of God, is primary source of every Muslim's faith and practice.It deals with all the subjects which concern human beings: wisdom,doctrine,worship,transactions,law,etc,but its basic theme is the relationship between God and His creatures.
At the same time,it provides guidelines and detailed teachings for a just society,proper human conduct,and an equitable economic system.
All people are from Adam and eve and are equal.
there is no one superior or inferior.race colour creed dosent matter at all.The Kindness towards people and the way of charity in Islam clearly indicated that it is the true religion so when the Kashmiri Hindus read and understood Islamic concept shedding their arrogance they accepted Islam.I for example am a Kashmiri Muslim and was Born in a Muslim family.I myself understood Islam only when I read quran and Sunnah myself and am trying to implement it on myself.Being born in a Muslim family is not enough.One has to himself search for truth same is the case with non Muslims.I after reading Quran can say as all other scholars commented from time to time."Quran is a book of Allah" no one even today cam make such a book.It is the word of God.Some people argue that quran has been corrupted but let me tell them that this is not possible as Allah said
" A revelation from (God), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful:
a book whereof the verses are explained in detail; a Quran in
Arabic, for people who know,giving good news and warning,yet most
of them turn away,so they do not listen." Chapter 41,verse 2 & 4
"Indeed,We have sent down the Quran,and
surely We will guard it(From corruption) "
Chapter No.15 ,Verse no 9
"If you could but see when they are set before the fire(Hell) and say:
would that we might return(to the world)! Then we would not reject
the verses of our lord,but we would be of believers" Chapter 6 verse 27
" And whosoever seeks a religion other than Islam ,
it will not be accepted from him and he will be one
of the losers in the Here after" Chapter 3,verse 85
TO BE CONTINUED INSHALLAH
