The truth of Islam is always available for all those who are willing to learn and recognize the truth by putting aside their biases. No wonder that so many westerners are converting to Islam despite of the bombardment of negative publicity of Islam after 9/11. Allah(SWT) never lets those go astray who truly seek the guidance and sooner or later they will acquire the ability to recognize the truth. The truth of Islam is revealed from God and is destined to prevail before the end of the world.
Their intention is to extinguish Allah's Light (by blowing) with their mouths: But Allah will complete (the revelation of) His Light, even though the Unbelievers may detest (it). (Chapter 61 As-Saaf:8)
However, the satanic ways of deception are also growing with time and are at constant battle with the truth of Islam. The people around the world are more indulged and occupied with their material desires and needs and are less concerned about their spiritual needs and their final place in the hereafter. Most have gone astray as they were falsely deceived in losing their way and no longer consider the life in the hereafter a reality simply because they can't witness it through their wordly senses despite of witnessing people dying around them every other day and leaving behind all their material wealth and efforts. How many people have we seen that had taken their wealth with them in their grave? Every material thing that we make effort for will just be left behind in this termporary world and people will be brought in front of one God along with their book of deeds and their faith/no faith in one true God. Based on this criteria, their entire eternal future life will be decided. So, if one is willing to take that chance then there is not much others can do about it.
By (the Token of) Time (through the ages), Verily Man is in loss, Except such as have Faith, and do righteous deeds, and (join together) in the mutual teaching of Truth, and of Patience and Constancy. (CHapter 103 Al-Asr:1-3)
The truth is here to be witnessed using one's intellect and Allah won't let those people astray who are willing to explore and recognzie the truth. Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day,- there are indeed Signs for men of understanding,- (Chapter 3 Al-E-Imran:190)
Is it not a warning to such men (to call to mind) how many generations before them We destroyed, in whose haunts they (now) move? Verily, in this are Signs for men endued with understanding. (Chapter 20 Ta-Ha:128)
The ultimate truth is going to come out soon enough and its light will completely cover the darkness of evil. As per an authentic hadeeth of Prophet:
"This matter is as the day and night; Allah will make this Deen enter into every house of every inhabitant of the deserts, of villages, of towns, of cities, with either glory or disgrace. Allah will give glory to Islam, and Allah will bring disgrace upon disbelief (kufr)." (Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Al-Tabarani)
The kingdom of heaven is destined to prevail whether we support it or oppose it. If we stay its supporter, we will be successful along with it in this world as well in the here after or else we will loose on both fronts. This is high time to decide which side do we really want to be.
