sori pala sir kusonada. para pala sayo yung huling post ko para mabalik tayo sa topic na balik islam.
Brod budotukmol ang Balik Islam is not only applied for Filipinos. The term
Islam Revert is internationally used for those who embraced Islam. Now the question is why use the term "
Revert" more than convert?
Muslims believe that all are created to worship the one Creator God kaya lang we later became animist (worships the creation and not the creator), polytheist (worship of many Gods), Human worship (saints, monarchy) etc.
ISLAM simply means peace and submission to the will of the creator. We view Christians as polytheist since they worship Jesus(PBUH) and the Holy Spirit as two of the other Gods in the Trinity. When a Christian convert to Islam we call them "Reverts" since they reverted back to the old ways and worship the one true God.
"You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below." Exodus 20:3-4For animists, still the same thing. When they embrace Islam they no longer worship the creation (fire, sun, tree, rock, wind, anito etc) but the Creator and submit to his will. They are now called Islam Reverts, translated to tagalog Balik Islam. Ganyan ang nangyayari sa ating mga ninuno since they were animists.
Kaya lang ng sinakop tayo ng mga Kastila we were forced to convert to Christianity. When they reached our shores they called the people
Moro since pareho daw sa mga naka engkwentro nila sa bansang Morocco. In fact ang Maynila ay bayan ng mga Muslim. Nang na sakop ng mga Kastila ang Manila tinayo nila ang Intramuros na ibig sabihin sa kastila ay "within the Moros" sa kadahilanan na sa lugar mismo ng mga Moro nila yung tinayo.
If you have more question brother I will be very happy to answer.
Peace!!! Shalom!!! Salam
