Assalaam Aleikum brother.
May Allah use you for the service of His Deen. My question you have probably been asked many times in the past, however people want to know: Have you experienced opposition to your Islam from your parents?
Answer
Wa `Alaykum Assalam Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wa Barakatuh
In the name of Allah...
Yes, I no longer have contact with my family. We are not permitted to break family ties, but my family sided with the Jews and with the Jewish entity, and because of this we had no choice but to break contact at this time. The last thing that they told me was that I was barbaric.

Assalaamu Alaikum,
As the case of yourself being a Jew living in Israel/Palestine and may be having Jewish relatives, how can you help non muslims particularly American and Europian Jews to understand that Islam is for ALL and no need for hating and killing for the sake of religion?
Answer
First of all, in terms of the best way to call to Islam, there is only one Manhaj, and that is the Manhaj of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the three generations that followed (Companions and followers - Allah be well pleased with them). We must also use the 'ulama of all generations without innovating and making a new style of da`wa. The best way to prove Islam is for eveyone is to quote the Qur'an, and the only difference between us is Taqwa (God fearingness).
Also, the Prophet (pbuh) said that when finding a wife, one should take from far a way. So, Islam is not based on racism, and our evidence is the strongest evidence: God's Word and that of His Messanger (pbuh). We don't fight for hate of the kuffar. We fight for the sake of Allah alone, to stop those who try to kill us, those who occupy our land, and those who spread Munkar (evil), and those who teach foreign political ideology in our land, such as democracy, etc.

What are the main differences in practising Judaism and Islam?
Answer
The main differences is Tawheed itself. The Jews believe in intercession, that they pray to the rabbi to interceed for them, or on the soul or the merit of the rabbi. Another important point is (and there are many) that Islam is a religion not based on men, whereas Judaism is a religion based on men. We have the Qur'an and the Sunnah.
If my sheikh cut his beard tomorrow, and he puts on a Jewish cap, and says, I am wrong and Jews are right, that does not affect me. My belief is based on a set law with the promise from Allah (swt) that it will never be changed. And in every masjid all over the world, the Qur'an you hear is the same Qur'an.
Jewdism on the other hand is based on "oral tradition" (i.e. the Talmud). One must ask: Why is the oral tradition in writing today? By the rabbis own admition, things have been forgotten. The Torah of today has eleven different letters. And the script is not the original text. And Alhamdullilah, Allah has blessed us with an easy religeon where many people are Hafiz (memorizers) of the Qur'an in every generation. Allah has blessed us with that.

Assalamu'alaikum,
Can you tell us how do you came to know about Islam and finally took the shahadah?
Answer
I met somebody, a brother, from the UAE, who took the time to go to a Jewish chat room and preach Islamic monotheism (Tawhid). We had a conversation that lasted about two years, until I read the Quran and could not resist Islam.
Truly, that is what I belive Judaism was supposed to be. If you go to the website: www.jewstoislam.com you can listen to the whole story.

Assalaamu Alaikum Brother Yousef,
Welcome to the universal religion!
What does orthodox Judaism mean and contain?
Was-Salaam.
Answer
Judaism should really be called Rabbism. And it is based on God being racist, imperfect, and it is based on everything found in business dealings. Oh God, please don't forget your covenant, and give me this and this. Judaism originally is an Eastern religion, and when the Jews moved away from the Middle East, they lost most of their eastern ideas. That is except one concept: tribalism. And this in turn turned into racism.
Their faith is not based on the Torah, it is based on the Talmud, which as many Jews say, when you do Dawa to them, that the Sunnah is like the Talmud. This could not be more untrue, because authentic Sunnah never contradicts the Qur'an. Whereas the Talmud is the polar opposite of the Torah in its already corrupted form of today. You can see my web site and get more information about this.

Asslaam aleikum wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatu
Brother what’s the best way for da'wa with Jews in these days? How do you see the concept of jihad today? And what is your advice for the Palestinians and the Muslims in this hard time?
Thank you and jazak Allahu kheir.
Answer
The best way of doing da'wa to the Jews is to make dialogue with them. They claim we have 1.5 billion Muslims, then why are not we Muslims in every Jewish forum posting questions, and asking about Tawhid? Why are not we Muslims in every Jewish chat room looking for those interested in Truth (Haq)?
And there are many ways, recently somebody, Palestinian Muslim has been sending instant messages via the IP numbers in all Jewish areas. May Allah reward him for this. Especially here in Falastin, in this Intifada, most of us have ample time to sit and think and be original, and effective in Da'wa. Our goal inshallah is to get to every Jewish house the message of Islam. We are presently working on translating the Quran into Hebrew, and the Jewstoislam website, will be published in Hebrew, due to the efforts of a Palestinian Muslim brother, inshallah.
As for Jihad, and I speak from the point of a Muslim in Palestine, we must fight them until they leave. In Islam Da'wa comes before Jihad. Now there is Da'wa site for Jews, Alhamdullilah. Now there are Palestinian Muslims living among the Jews, and preaching them. So there is no excuse why we should stop our resistance from Jewish occupation. So we must be firm, and we must put the cards on the table. This is what we have to offer. We invite you to live with us as brothers and sisters in Islam. If they refuse we invite them to live in peace with us under Islamic rule, as the Jews and Christian lived before the Jewish entity existed. And if they refuse this we must fight them till East meets West. And also it is important for them to understand that there are not "Israeli civilians". Thats based on my small knowledge of Shari'a, and Allah knows best.
To think the way the Prophet (pbuh) what he would he do in his hard time. By no means does this mean being soft on the Jews here, in the occupied Palestine 1948 and 1967. We must work on ourselves, our families, and our close friends, and we must make Dua'a for our rulers (Hukkam) to impliment Islam in Palestine, to close the casino in Jericho, and to close the bars in Ramallah. And may Allah guide our political leaders here. We must return to the way of Salaf Al-Saleh. We must support Dawa'a to the Yahood, and we must support the Islamic resistant in Palestine, and Allah knows that.

I would like you to pinpoint the reason how and why you became Muslim.
Plus any tips or points to consider when giving da'wah to Jews?
Jazak Allah khair
Answer
The specific reason is Tawheed Roboobia and Uloohia, and every Muslim has to study this and the books of the Jews and compare. Go into the chat rooms, and do not speak, just analyze. Learn exactly how they think and to understand their mentality. And before all of this we ask Allah to open their hearts to Islam, and thats just one of the few ways.
By the way, there is a link for a free course, how to be a successful caller to Islam. You can find it on my web site: www.jewstoislam.com

Brother, what is your opinion of the man called Sharon?
Answer
My opinion is: He is no different than Neutri Karta, the "Zionist Jews." They are "Maghdoobi Alayhem" (recipients of Allah's Wrath), and in the Quran, they are "Yahood, and Bani Israel." This is the title that is given to them. Really, I was no different from Sharon, I was a Zionist. It is not important what we or I think about a person. Many Christians like Muslims, as do many Jews and many Hindus. But many dislike us. The question is, what does Allah (swt) say about these people, and do we have the right to be pleased with those whom Allah (swt)is not pleased with.

Assalamu'alaikum,
Based on your own experience of being on the 'other side of the fence', what would be the best way to bring peace to the Palestinians as well as Jews?
Or would the real peace be impossible to achieve?
Some people present ideas that the majority of religious Jews oppose the Zionists' harsh treatment of Palestinians? How true is the statement? I see on the TV the Israeli cabinet are also joined by religious Jews.
Thanks
Answer
First of all, I am not a politician. I will leave issues concerning politics in Palestine to the elected Palestinian officials. Personally, and religiously, I have no peace with the Jews. This is based on history, they've broken every convenant, they've killed prophets, and as far as I am concerened, I have no peace with them, nor that Islam has peace with them, except through the Jizya.
Again I repeat, I don't speak for the Palestinians, and I don't have knowledge to speak for the Muslims. This is a personal opinion, and Allah knows best.
We must try to save the Jews from the most evil of the Jews, which are the rabbi followers, the rabbinical Jews.

What was your opinion on so-called Jewish holocaust before Islam? What do you think of so-called Jewish holocaust now after being a Muslim?
Can you also tell me what is a general thinking of Jews in Israel and America regarding Palestine? Does the opinion of American and Canadian Jews differ from Jews in Israel over the illegality of the Israeli state and the occupation of Palestine?
Answer
I believe that the holocaust did take place before I was a Muslim. And today, I still believe that some Jews were killed, but I think the 6 million number is not correct. And we sympathize with them as we sympathize with all the Russians who were killed, the Greeks, the Polish, and all those who were killed.
I believe today the letter "S" in holocaust should be changed to a dollar sign "$". I believe that after instituting an Islamic or Palestinian state, we the Muslims and Palestinians in occupied Palestine should be recompensed for the suffering put on us by the Jewish state.
Many Jews have a different opinion, and really their opinions are meaningless to me, because unlike Hizb Al-Tahreer, who try to make Muslims think that America and the Jews control the world, the truth is Tawakkul is in the hand of Allah (swt) alone. There is an Ayah in the Qur'an "Any good is from Allah, and bad is from our own hands". The real issue is we have to fix ourselves if we want to free Palestine. And maybe before we do Jihad on the Yahood, perhaps we do Jihad on some Arabic music video channels.

I a Greek converted Muslim also and I pray to Allah for your well being and happiness in this world and the after one. My question is: How do the people around you react I mean non-Muslim Israelites? And do they "persecute" you for being a muslim? I wish all the best to you and may Allah shower His Mercy to you and your family.
As-Salam Aleikum
Answer
First of all I don't live in a Jewish area; I live in a Palestinian Muslim area. Yes, there is discrimination. Yes, I have been beaten by Jewish soldiers. But not as bad as the people in the West Bank and Gaza.
I am sorry I don't have any great stories to tell about the suffering that I go through here, and I am sure that I am not suffering as much as brothers Muslims in Afganistan are suffering under the US implemented pupet, or as are Muslim brothers suffering in the American concentration camp in occupied Cuba.
