Convert? OR Revert?

Post by LaQaNyO »

Revert is the correct term for someone who 'comes back' to follow the right faith of Islam and not 'convert'.
Argument: Every baby is born into this world as a muslim... therefore if one goes astray he doesn't convert he reverts :|

Convert= new believer
Revert= return to an earlier, less-developed condition

:up:
surrender

Surrender have you heard of Sheikh Khaled Yasin, he is a revert himself?
Well that Sheikh is very specific when it comes to this particular topic...a few yrs back at uni he stressed it out so much its still drillin in my head (Revert not Convert) :oops:
:up: Carabka bar abaayadiis

Captain... Adam and Eva were led astray and we are all their descendents and Allah swt has created us so that when we all come into excistence we Testify to Allah swt being our lord..... but then some children are led astray to follow judaism, christianity etc im not sure what it says in the quran but inshala i'll find it for you one day though. Can i ask you when a baby of a gaal family dies at the tender young age of 3days for e.g. do you think he would go to hell because his parents were gaalo? :|

Definitely NO. If a 45 years old dies as Christian, and he has never heard of Islam or come in contact with Islam, He wont go to hell. Allah wont' punish you for something he hasn't exposed you to.......

LaQanyo, you do know that some people never step out of their apartments and finish their life stationed in one city?


I was driving to Seattle one time and I stopped a little city in Montana. I went to buy something for Gas station, and the girl was surprised. She said this is the first time in 5 years that she seen a black person :shock:

Some people don't read, right and never go to school

Cap...Everyone is born a muslim walalo, just that they are taught otherwise as they grow up, but they get to an age where they can compare and choose the right path but most are so engrossed in the dun'ya that they dont bother to find out more, plus they just believe what they've been brought up to believe hence the duty of you and I to spread Islam to the likes of those. Otherwise Islam is everywhere and we are all born muslims, so who ever finds his/her way back manshallah is indeed a Revert.

Captain i still don't see how you can ask such question though a newborn baby dying without sins is barely to be put on the same comparison line as a dhowsaaq that btw 'decided' to not engage with the outside world.... allahu yaclam though Allah knows best.

Cisse i wanted to see him astaqfurallah because of that maybe as well a little bit (naive days) but then it got overcrowded with males and in the end it was best decided to just have male only muxaadiro for him :|

But yea Revert people :up:
