"Does that make sense mother?" Abdul asked Tabitha with a concerned tone of voice.
"What about the Qur'an or Bible. Are they creations as well?" Asked Tabitha.
"Absolutely! Everything is a creation mommy. And us Muslims we do not follow the Bible."
"May I ask why?" Said Tabitha.
"Yes, of course!" Abdul replied.
There was a pause. Abdul had his eyes fixed on Tabitha with a huge smile on his face. Silence enveloped the room.
After about thirty seconds Tabitha finally spoke. "Well..."
"Yes mother."
"Are you going to tell me?" She asked.
"Yes. I'm sorry. I was waiting for you to ask." Abdul said.
Tabitha gave a soft laugh and covered her mouth with her hands.
"Eew mommy you have a ugly laugh." Abdul said.
Tabitha erupted in laughter.
"Okay so do you know Paul?" Abdul asked.
Tabitha stopped laughing and gave his attention back to Abdul.
"Who is Paul?" She asked.
"Paul was from the Roman Catholic at the time of Jesus Peace Be Upon Him. The Roman Constantine church were Pagans. This guy Paul claimed to have met Jesus Peace Be Upon Him, while he was alive and that he was one of his disciples. But in fact he never did. Paul was a great liar who invented many fabricated tales of Jesus Peace Be Upon Him. Paul, alongside with the Roman Catholics were the ones who wrote the Bible and invented the Christian religion. The Bible is completely perverted. It is a carbon copy of the Holy Qur'an. How do we know this? Because the Bible does not have the name of 'Allah' in it. And Allah is the Only God." Abdul said.
"Okay yes, I now know who you're referring to. Paul actually claimed to be a Prophet himself." Tabitha said.
"He definitely was not a Prophet." Abdul said.
"And also mommy, I don't mean to cut you off..."
"Oh, no you didn't..."
"Christmas is also fake. It is not the birth of the Son of God. It is the birth of the 'Sun'. The spelling is very similar but the meaning is different. 'Sun' and 'Son'. What's that jawn called again mommy? A 'homograph'" Said Abdul.
"Homophone." Tabitha corrected him.
"Thanks mother. May Allah increase my knowledge."
Tabitha gave a soft chuckle.
"Every religion is an annexation of Islam. Because Islam was the first to start preaching to do good and be a good person. But Islam also forbids the consumption of alcohol, eating pork, fornicating etc... People are very hedonistic mother. They like to indulge in their sins. Have you ever seen an orgy mommy?"
"Oh my..." Tabitha said.
"Yes mother Subhan'Allah! But that is just how the human being is. We are susceptible to our sinful human ways. Does that make sense?"
Tabitha nodded her head. "So how can this be rectified?"
Abdul gave a huge smile. "With this beautiful Religion Islam. Now, Islam was created by God, Allah. And His Mercy encompasses all."
Tabitha nodded her head. "But even so, the followers of this Religion are all human beings like me and you, and they are bound to sin."
"This is very true mommy. Do you wanna know how I look at it?" Abdul asked.
Tabitha nodded her head. "How do you look at it?"
"Whatever is forbidden, is also FORGIVEN." Abdul said.
"Allah is the Most Merciful. He knows how He made us, and He Knows that we are all weak. And we should never despair in the Mercy of Ar Rahman. Because that is tantamount to Shirk, atheism, blasphemy. There's an act of worship known as 'Tawbah' or Repentance. If you make Tawbah then Allah will forgive all your sins and grant you a noble entrance into Paradise. Now, you can only make Tawbah if you have entered the pale of Islam. Now, you are no spring chicken mommy."
Tabitha gave a soft chuckle.
"So what do I have to do?" Tabitha asked.
"Repeat after me mommy... ASH-HADU..."
"Ash Hadu..." Tabitha said.
"AN LA..."
"An la..."
"ILAHA ILLA-LLAH"
"Ilaha... Um... What did you say after that?" Asked Tabitha.
"Okay mother. You can just say it in English. The translation is... 'I bear witness that there is no God but Allah. And I bear witness that Muhammad is the Slave and Messenger of Allah.'" Said Abdul.
"I bear witness that there is no God but allaa..." Tabitha repeated.
"No mommy, please start all over again. The pronunciation has to be correct. It is 'Allah' with a double 'A' at the beginning."
"Okay. 'I bear witness that there is no God but Allah. And I bear witness that Mu-hem...meh..."
"Abul-Qasim. Say that instead mother."
"Who is that?" Tabitha asked.
"I will tell you afterwards mother. Please... So 'I. Bear. Witness...'"
"I bear witness that there is no god but Allah. And I bear witness that Abul-Qasim is the Slave and Messenger of Allah." Tabitha said.
Abdul gave a huge smile. "'Abul Qasim is one of the sons of Muhammad SAWS that passed away." Abdul said.
"How did he die?" Tabitha asked.
"Allah Knows best. He was three years old in the year 609 A.D. Shortly before the Prophet Muhammad SAWS received revelation." Abdul said.
"What was the first revelation?" Tabitha asked.
Abdul thought for a minute. Then he gave a huge smile.
"IKRAH!!" Abdul bellowed out.
"What is Ikrah?" Tabitha asked.
"'Read'. The Angel Jibreel commanded Muhammad SAWS to read. But him, SAWS alongside many other Meccans at that time was not able to read or write."
"He was illiterate?" Tabitha asked.
"No mother, we don't say things like that. That term may give off a negative connotation that he, SAWS may have been dull minded or dim witted. He was undoubtedly the most intelligent man that ever lived." Abdul said.
"But he was not able to read." Said Tabitha.
"He was able to read Qur'an. Which is far more important than any scholastic novel."
"How was he able to read Qur'an?" Asked Tabitha.
"Divine Revelation known as Wahiy. God inspired him." Abdul said.
Tabitha nodded her head. There was a pause.
"I would like to have you know mother that you have just fulfilled the greatest obligation. Your entrance to Jannah has now been sealed." Said Abdul.
