Spreading of Islam in Europe

on Friday, November 2, 2012

Islam is one of the largest and fastest growing religions of the world with its followers living worldwide. If we look at history (about 700 years ago) Muslims ruled a part of Europe as Spain was one of the largest Islamic societies of Europe. Queen Isabella and her husband Ferdinand are buried in Alhambra surrounded with the verses from the Holy Quran. According to archaeological findings, it was revealed that Muslims conquered Spain within four years without any bloodshed or violence. At that time the Visigoths were very impressed by the Muslims and their peace, they happily accepted their invitation to Islam and also their rule. The history tells that Muslims translated Greek scripts, they introduced paper in Europe. Muslims were the first ones to perform surgeries over human bodies, which was then common in Europe few centuries later. Alchemy, Algebra and astronomy are all Muslim inventions along with farming, practicing laws and providing trade contracts. The first university of the world was founded by a Muslim woman Fatima al Fihri which still exists in Morocco and is known by University of Al Karaouine.

Islam is rapidly spreading in Europe; the reason is that people are taking interest in Europe’s history. They have learned how Muslims conquered in peace, how they introduced science and math. The study of history has changed their minds about Islam being the religion of violence, they now know that it’s all false and it is used just as an excuse by the terrorists to spread violence. Other reasons include the translation of the Quran in different languages, transmission of Islamic programs on TV and radio. Muslims have settled in Europe because of work and education, those Muslims have inspired their friends and colleagues and taught them Quran Sunnah teachings thus inviting them to this religion. Islam religion is gaining popularity in the whole world because it is true religion. In 1970, there was no mosque present in France, but now more than 3000 mosques are present. It shows the rapid spread of Islam teachings in European countries. Tableghi jammats are playing great role in the spread of Islam in Europe. Now the members of this jammats are present in the whole world. Similarly, Islamic scholars are doing their work in a better way.  Now Islam has become fastest growing religion in the whole world. Hundreds of people enter into Islam daily. Islam is a peaceful religion and it focuses on equal rights for women. Similarly Islam focuses on rights of neighbors and relatives. People of other religions feel this religion is best of all. Therefore followers of Islam are increasing in the world with the passage of time.  It is a real fact that soon this religion will become the largest religion in the world.

The ibaadat of the Islam religion are very impressive for the people of other religions. The most important characteristic of the Islam religion is peace. Therefore, hundreds of people are entering into Islam to enjoy a peaceful life.
