Why do people not accept Islam?

Answer 1

A:Let's take three examples:

1. Hindus have their own gods, in which they believe just as firmly as Muslims believe in Allah.
2. Christians believe that Islam was really developed from what Muhammad knew about Christianity and Judaism, and therefore that the Quran was not really revealed to him. After all, the cousin of Muhammad's first wife was a Christian.
3. Atheists will never accept Islam, because they realise there is no God.

It is incumbent on the followers of all religions to accept the absolute right of others to believe as they wish.

Answer 2

The question is not true. Would you explain how more than 25% of world population are Muslims? Would you explain why many people convert to Islam each year including priests and many other religious people? Would you explain how Muslim population are increasing faster than other regions populations including Christianity? those who claim that Quran is human written text could they explain how Quran includes scientific statements that their scientific validity had been able be proved only current developments in technology and sciences? Refer to questions below for more details.

It is a very complicated question to which the holy Qur'an gives the right answer. Shaitan and man's 'Self- Nafs'- are the two enemies of Man who try to lead Man astray, to lead him to the wrong path. Almighty Allah had been sending Prophets (1,24,000 in number) to preach to Man and guide people to the Right Path. But, unfortunately, most of the people didn't believe in the Prophets like Hazrat Noa, Ayyub, Abraham, Ishaq, Yaqoob, Saleh, Mose, Haroon, Jesus (May peace be upon them all). Similarly people don't believe in the last Prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad (SAW). Ironically, those who claim to be 'Muslims' don't follow the teachings of Islam. Are all the Muslims truthful, honest, earn livelihood through halal means, kind and sympathetic, sacrificing and loving? Do they avoid Usury, adultery, aggression, brutality, murder of innocent people? Similarly are all the Hindus true Hindus? Are all the Christians true Christians? Are all the Jews true Jews? Definitely the answer is a Big NO. Let us tolerate humans irrespective of their religion, caste or country. Let others have their way. Everybody is answerable to Almighty Allah for his deeds.

Answer 4

Since pretty much everyone in the world has access to what Islam offers and what Islam is, accepting Islam, if it is true, should be as easy as accepting mathematical truths (like how 2 + 2 = 4) and Imam Zakir Naik claims as much. Therefore it is a serious and worthwhile question to ask why people have trouble accepting Islam and Mohammed in a way that they do not have trouble accepting basic arithmetic. The following is a partial list of reasons that may be convincing:

1. Islam has endorsed and openly practiced slavery. While the Qur'an does say that it is a good thing to free a slave, it does not call for the abolition of slavery. In fact, many Muslim countries, especially in West Africa are notorious for continuing to traffic slaves in 2012. There are an estimated 27 million slaves in the world today of which half live in the Islamic World (which is much less than a quarter of the world's population and even less land area).
2. Most Islamic Clerics in the Middle East support blasphemy laws. These laws would seek to create a legal inequality between Islam and other religions. For example, a Muslim could denigrate Christian, Jewish, Zoroastrian, Hindu, etc. practices and individuals and suffer no liability but arguing against an Islamic view would be met by harsh criminal penalties. This would violate freedom of speech and freedom of religion in the Western context. It is notable than a sizable minority of Western Muslims also support blasphemy laws, although the majority disagrees.
3. Most Islamic Clerics in the Middle East and Africa support barbaric punishments such as chopping off limbs for theft, stoning women for getting raped, and numerous other actions which seem out-of-date to most Western individuals and to most East Asians. Western Muslims also find problems with these activities.
4. Islam is not by its nature necessarily internally peaceful. Many Muslims hold to the idea that Muslim violence has only ever occurred in retaliation for actions done by non-Muslims. While that is certainly a notion worth challenging (How was Vienna, Austria repressing Muslims when Suleiman the Magnificent besieged it?), the unavoidable truth is that Muslim states have fought each other as well (which would bypass the non-Muslim violence issue). The Fitna Al-Kubra, for example, was a war that existed entirely within Islam. The Fatimid-Seljuk conflict was entirely between Muslims, many of the conquests of Tamerlane, which were egregiously bloody were of fellow Muslim territories, and the Almohads slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Muslims in peacetime for believing different than them. If the claim is that Islam creates peace and that is why a person should convert, the evidence to contrary seems difficult to swallow. (By the way, all of these violent acts occurred during Islam's periods of greatest strength and are not due to Western Imperialism.)

Answer 2

Two reasons. One, Jews do not seek to proselytize. Two, it's not easy to become a member of Judaism.

In truth though, there are as many reasons for people not accepting Judaism as there are non-Jews. This is not an issue from the Jewish perspective though as Judaism teaches that there are different paths to HaShem (The Creator) for different people. Judaism is simply the path for Jews.
