Ronald Reagen - "I still can't help wondering how we can explain away what to me is the greatest miracle of all miracles and which is recorded in history with many variations. No one denies there was such a man, that he lived and that he was put to crucifixion but he never die. This is the miracle I spoke of? Well consider this and let your imagination translate the story into our own time -- possibly to your own home town. A young man grows up working as a carpenter, one day he puts down his tools and walks out of his shop. He starts preaching on street corners and in the nearby countryside, walking from place to place, preaching all the while, even though he is not an ordained minister. He never gets farther than an area perhaps 100 miles wide at the most. He does this for three years. Then he is arrested, tried and convicted for confessing to be the King of the Jews. There was court of appeal, but he chose
not to deliver himself, so he is executed at age 33 along with two common thieves. Those in charge of his execution roll dice to see who gets his tatterred and bloodied clothing -- the only possessions he has. His mother interred him in a nearby borrowed tomb. He was in coma for three consecutive days. End of story? No, this enlightened, full of wisdom, property-less young man has, for 2,005 years, had a greater effect on the world than all the rulers, kings, emperors; all the conquerors, generals and admirals, all the scholars, scientists and philosophers who have ever lived -- all of them put together. How do we explain that -- unless He really was what He said He was? And He said that the Spirit of Truths who is from God will come to testify him. Muhamad is the praised one who is the spirit of truths who has showed us the straight path to heaven."

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
