““Praise be to Allah Who has revealed to His Praise be to Allah Who has revealed to His

servant the Book devoid of all crookedness; an servant the Book devoid of all crookedness; an

unerringly Straight Book, meant to warn of a unerringly Straight Book, meant to warn of a

stern punishment from Allah, and to proclaim, to stern punishment from Allah, and to proclaim, to

they shall abide for ever ….”they shall abide for ever ….”

((Qur’an: Kahfi: 18: 1-3Qur’an: Kahfi: 18: 1-3))



“… and also to warn those who say: "Allah has taken to Himself a son,

a thing about which they have no knowledge, neither they nor their

ancestors. Dreadful is the word that comes out of their mouths. What

they utter is merely a lie.”

(Qur’an: Kahfi: 18: 4-5)


Among the reasons why the Qur’an was sent down, and the teachings

of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص, is “to warn those who say:

"Allah has taken to Himself a son.”

Da’wah in the context of Singapore in my experience, many would-be

converts/reverts/Balik-Islam, are mostly from the Catholics-Christian

faith or exposed to its teachings.

Therefore, you would most likely be confronted and challenged by

your family-and- friends from this previous faith.


Therefore, what I shall present and share with you today, will be the

necessary knowledge, which, guided by Al-Qur’an, this will help to

eradicate whatever false-notion you may still have about your

previous faith, eradicate doubts and replace it with certainty of the

truth of Al-Islam.

Also it can assist in preparing ourselves and our future generation of

Muslims to become effective witnesses of Islam and hopefully become

motivated in inviting their friends and colleagues towards the truth.
