Press Release Dated
23rd of June 2000
Public Invitation To
The British To Embrace The Truth & Justice Of Islam
=========================================================================
RALLY FOR ISLAM -IV-
=========================================================================
Sunday The 23rd Of July
2000 At Trafalgar
Square From 12 Noon
Til 5:00pm
This Summer will once
again witness an extraordinary public call to the British public, The Prime
Minister and The Queen from Muslims in Britain to embrace Islam as a spiritual
and as a political belief. Leaders from the Muslim community here and abroad
will address the masses throughout a day on various issues affecting society
not only in Britain but globally. The public invitation in Trafalgar Square
in London on Sunday the 23rd of July 2000 will be the fourth time Al-Muhajiroun
have brought converts to Islam from various backgrounds including Hindu,
Sikh, Christian, Jew and atheist to come out openly and publicly declaring
why they left their previous beliefs and have decided to embrace Islam.
The above event has always
attracted thousands of people and this year is another chance to see why
Islam is the fastest growing religion in the West. An opportunity for everyone
to discover more about Islam as an economic, ritual, social, judicial or
ruling system will be on the agenda.
Just as The Messenger
Muhammad (saw) sent letters to the leaders of his time such as Caesar of
the Romans and the Kings of Persia and Abyssinia and their people, requesting
them to give up their way of life and to adopt Islam as a political and
spiritual system to govern all of their affairs, on Sunday the 23rd of
July Al-Muhajiroun, on behalf of the Muslims in Britain, will invite the
Society in which we live to consider Islam as an alternative (and who have
also written letters of invitation to the current leaders such as the Queen
and The Prime Minister).
In what for some has
become a kind of 'Mecca' for Muslims in Britain, Muslims from all over
the country as far away as Dundee have promised to descend into the heart
of London to Trafalgar Square to listen to speakers such as Sheikh Omar
Bakri Muhammad, leader of Al-Muhajiroun, debate and discuss the authenticity
of the Qur'an in front of on lookers.
Over 1400 years ago the
final Messenger to mankind Muhammad (saw) said, "Convey on behalf of me
even if you convey one single verse to one person." Therefore, as ambassadors
of the Muslim Ummah worldwide, Muslims in Britain, on behalf of the Messenger
Muhammed (saw), declare that we invite the British people to accept Islam.
Britain and its leaders are invited to embrace Islam, the way many kings
and presidents embraced Islam in the past such as the king of Abysinnia,
the king of Persia, Caesar of Romans and the kings of Bahrain, Egypt, Yemen
and Abu Suffyan. And remember that if you do so you will enter Paradise.
For Allah (SWT) says in the Qur'an: "If only the people of the Book had
believed and been righteous, we should indeed have blotted out their sins
and admitted them into paradise." [EMQ 5: 68]
We have witnessed many
famous people embrace Islam before such as the boxers Mohammed Ali, Mike
Tyson and Chris Eubank. The 23rd of July 2000 brings with it another opportunity
to plant the seed of Islam, publicly and openly hoping that Allah (SWT)
will guide more people to Islam in order to complete our mission which
is to fly the Islamic flag over Downing Street.with the help of the British
people.Amen.
