Dear Dr. Abdullah,
 
I would like to thank you on behalf of all the Muslims for the very nice brief booklet about Islam made in English.
 
This work is really prepared in very clear language and takes the reader briefly and directly to the meaning of Islam.
 
Insha-Allah the reward from God is the Paradise.
 
Best Regards,

Dear brother
 
By a chance I received a copy of your awesome booklet you named :
 
"What Do You Actually Know About Islam"
 
I read it many times. It’s really so nice! Amazing easy way of explanation.

Dear Dr. Abdullah--

My dear friend, *****, gave me copies of your booklets on Islam and its relationship to Jesus. I can’t tell you how pleased I was to read both offerings. Again and again the ***** family shows it direct roots to the ancients who provided the formation of modern thought.

I would like to give several copies of your writings to friends in the United States who I think would be as delighted to read them as I was.

Again, you are a great spokesman for Islam and a comforting bridge to Christianity.

Dear Dr. Al-Qenaei
 
I recently spent some months in Kuwait with family who now stay there and was pleasantly surprised one morning to find a copy of your "Jesus The Messiah - What does Islam say about him?"
 
I am a Christian by faith, Catholic by denomination and have often been disturbed by the divisions between our faiths when we share so much. In my opinion we are brothers and sisters under the same God. While we do differ on certain beliefs we are called to a relationship with God and each other in respect and love and I wanted to thank you for helping me better understand Islam and it's teachings. I pray that your work may continue to  build bridges and that more Christians, Muslims and Jews may come together  to live the lives we were all called to, one human family, under the same  loving God.
 
Sincerely,

Hello sir,
 
My name is P.Love an American expat working in Kuwait. I have been given your wonderful booklet "A proposal for you" and it is a wonderful read. I have always struggled with my beliefs .... To make a long story short I ended up in the Torah and the Talmud, behold I was making progress towards the one true God through Jewish studies not Christian. I have always believed that Jesus was a Jew bringing his people back to God. Not beginning a new religion. This was done by others for various selfish reasons. Not until recently have I been so exposed to the Muslim world. I now work with Muslim friends and have been having discussions about Islam. I never understood what it all means and instead of my friend trying to explain he gave me your booklet along with the Holy Koran and another brilliant book on the subject of the false doctrine of Jesus as God called "Let the bible speak".

I now know that I AM A MUSLIM. I always have been, but I did not have the guidance of the Koran along with the Torah and Talmud. Now after studying in the Holy Koran I have awakened and am in my heart a convert to the submission to the one true God ALLAH.

Thank you for your work. It is good and it does reach people from everywhere in the world as my story is proof.
 
P. Love

Dear Abdullah Al-Qenaei,

A salaam alikum - I have read your article entitled quote "A proposal for you" with respect to Islam.
Thank you for your time and the profound unambiguous presentation of the faith. It is not something one can measure or quantify all is about the real facts available to whom it may concern. May the  Almighty Allah grant you the sustenance to be able to continue with this mission fair beyond the article I mentioned. I will also pass it on the preamble of your message, to those who may need the true picture of the teachings. Thank you and best regards.

Your brother,
Abdulsalam

I have taken a look at your site. It is an attractive and clear site. Good colours, good fonts, aesthetic design, clear navigation. Congratulations. I am not too qualified to comment on the content but I admired it. It answers many of the questions I first had about Islam (or should have had - *** told me many things that I had not thought to ask but which pleasantly surprised me).

The answers were not so long as to loose the reader. The writing was clear and reasoned more than passionate (It is all too easy for religious people to get too passionate and fail to see that this can drive away the non believer who does not yet share their passion).

One area that I initially found it hard to identify with as a non believer approaching Islam is the way in which Muslims defend the Qu'ran through its beauty, purity, authenticity and universal accuracy and applicability. The problem for the non believer is that he has no knowledge of Arabic verse, and has never opened a translation either. Those coming from the Christian world are also quite used to the idea that religion is full of contradictions with itself and the world so don't demand a lack of contradiction from a religious text. At first I had no interest in this idea. It is only when one looks a little deeper and says "I never saw anything quite like this" that the argument for the Qu'ran's being no ordinary book starts to become interesting. I am interested that you have tried to tackle this.

I just read your short book, A Proposal for You -- What do you 'actually' know about Islam?  I picked it up while touring the Grand Mosque in Kuwait City.  I wanted to thank you for your time, energy, and talents.  It was a very interesting book that was easy to read and understand.  It provided me with a lot to think about and share.
 
Again, I appreciate your taking the time to educate Non-Muslims like myself.  I so desperately want to see our world become a place of peace, and I believe it is work like yours that helps to create understanding and build peace.
 
Peace be upon you,

Dear Mr. Abdullah Al-Qenaei
 
Asalam alykum warahmatullah!
 
I would like to extend my appreciation to you for your efforts to make this simple book you authored (What do u really know about Islam). It made my tears fell as I read most of the parts of it, since they were all well-said...  I thought to myself that I was not wrong to accept Islam. I am not born of a Muslim family. I accepted Islam February 2007.  I found strength in your work and Allahamdulillah, I felt that it is one way of how Allah has comforted me through my struggles in my journey as a follower as it is not a bed of roses...
 
Truly, I am thankful for people that God has used like you. I personally like the way you presented your ideas, indeed if I happen to be a writer or a person as free as you who is blessed with time to sit and do such an epistle, I would like to do  it the way you did!
 
More power! Allah hafeez!

Dear Al Qenaei,

Respected Sir,
 
Asalaamu aleikum wa rahmathulla wa barakathahu.
 
How are you? I am Dr P.S., an Indian doctor, working at the *** . A few months ago, when I was in Dubai, a few of my friends shared their Islamic faith with me. I come from a Christian background and have read the Torah besides the authorized King James version of the Bible. I was privileged to be gifted a translation of the Holy Qur’an. Since I have started meditating upon these Holy Scriptures with all the revelation of Allah to the Holy Prophet (PBUH), my life has not been the same. My life has got a new perspective and purpose.
 
I am very well versed in the Christian Scriptures because I believed that I should be in a position to defend what I believed. Allah in His Divine Mercy has been showing me what Allah’s purpose is for mankind on the face of this earth. I am still in infancy as far as spiritual growth is concerned but insha Allah, He will give me His Grace to learn and grow spiritually. I had the opportunity to confess the shahada in the presence of a witness last Eid. That was something like my spiritual birthday. There has been no looking back since. It is my endeavour to live the Islamic lifestyle every day and do my best for my thoughts, words and deeds to be acceptable to Allah.

I read your booklet on what Islam says about Jesus the Messiah. It is very constructive for all those Christians who are sincerely seeking the truth. Thank you for writing this book. Only I know how I have benefited from it. I obtained your email address from this book. I sincerely apologize if I have caused you any inconvenience in this regard.

Thank you very much for taking time to read this mail. Jazak Al Khayern.

Dear Mr. Abdullah,

Today, the first thing I did in the morning when I woke up -- before doing my daily rituals --was picking up The Daily Star newspaper, and there dropped off your fantastic book 'Jesus the Messiah.'
 
I couldn't help it but sit down and read it all in one shot. It brought a tear in my eye as I read through; the beauty and simplicity of Islam is very much highlighted in your words.

You made me feel more comfortable in my Hijab, which I wore only 5 months ago. Jazaka Allaho khairan.

Please continue for the sake of Allah, and for bridging the gap between Islam and the others.

R.E.

Dear Mr. Abdullah Al-Qenaei,

First and foremost let me thank you for the effort you have put into writing your booklet "Jesus the Messiah" which I received this morning along with my newspaper. I have read the book in its entirety. Thank you for presenting your ideas so clearly. Your words are really very inspiring.

Dear Mr. Abdullah,

I read recently your booklet "What do you actually know about Islam" and liked it very much. It is logical, to the point and uses language which is simple to understand and far from complications that can turn people off.
