Naidu : This question is by a Hindu. As name’s given here is P Naidu. He says that Muslims are a bliss to mankind, what about non Muslims who by birth are not Muslims? What stage of life do they understand Islam?
Dr. Zakir: Sister’s posed a question that according to a Hindu the Muslims are a blessing to Humanity, Alhamdulillah, Suma Alhamdulillah. But a non Muslim is not a Muslim by birth so at what stage of life do they understand Islam? Before I answer the question, I’d like to make a point very clear. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said that every child is born in Deen-ul-fitr. Deen-ul-fitr means innate religion. Every child is born as a Muslim.. Later on he’s influenced by his parents, by his elders, by his teachers, he starts doing idol worship, fire worship and then he becomes a non Muslim..therefore according to Islam every child is born as a Muslim. That means he submits his will to God. Later on by external influence he may become a non Muslim…therefore when a non Muslim becomes a Muslim, convert is not the appropriate word. Convert means going from one track to the other track or going from one faith to the other faith. The right, appropriate, word is Revert. Revert means originally he was a Muslim; he becomes a non Muslim then comes back to Islam. So the right word is Revert.
So every human being is born sinless. He’s born as a Muslim. Later on he goes to the wrong track…now coming to your question those who become non Muslim, not that they’re born non Muslim, everyone is born as a Muslim…those who become non Muslim by the influence of their parents etc. at what stage do they get the message? Different people get the messages at different stage, like a person who’s born as a Muslim if he’s born in a Muslim family he may get the message from day 1. He may be born in a Muslim family but they may not be practicing Islam so he may get later. Some may get Day 1 some may get after 1 year, some 2 years, some 5 years, some 10 years, whatever it is Allahu Alam.
Some people are born in a non Muslim family they grow up, they may get the message in childhood may be in school, they may get in college, whatever it is, different people get at different times. But irrespective whether a Muslim gives him the message or not,
Allah says in the Qur’an in Surah Fussilat ch. No. 41 verse no. 53
“Sanureehim ayatina feeal-afaqi wafee anfusihim hattayatabayyana lahum annahu alhaqq”
that
“Soon We shall show them our signs, in the furthest regions of the horizons and into their soul until it is clear to them that this is the Truth.”
So irrespective whether he gets the message from the Muslims or not, Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) gives the message directly by showing his signs in the furthest of the horizons until it is clear to the human being. I may give a message the non Muslim may not understand when Allah gives the message He sees it that the message is clear to that non Muslim. Until he realizes that this is the truth. This is the Haqq. Later on after he gets the Haqq. He may agree he may not agree. For his ulterior reasons. For his ulterior motives, for his personal reasons. Now before he dies, InshaAllah, Allah will give the message. Now, when? Which year? Allah knows best. But before he dies. So on the Day of judgment, therefore the Qur’an says that those who reject the Faith they will never complain to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) that I didn’t get the message why are you putting me in hell? They’ll only say please forgive us. We are at fault. Because they know that they’d got the message. But they did not accept it…
