spreads with ease and by simple means, Christianity would have been no match for Islam
had it not been for the enormous resources behind its missionary activities.

A cursory look at the difference between converts to Islam and converts to Christianity,
the two major religions with followers all over the world (unlike other religions whose
followers are mostly confined to specific nations), will reveal that Christianity attracts the
poor and destitute who are generally drawn to the Church due to the tempting material
comforts it offers them. Were this not the case, why then are churches and Christianity
itself abandoned in their own wealthy home countries and huge attempts are made to
export the Christian faith to poor countries? Is it not true then that "nothing will come of
nothing"?

On the other hand, those who embrace Islam are from all backgrounds and from all walks
of life. They include the poor, the rich, scientists, rabbis, monks and priests and
celebrities, among many others. Even those who are bound to lose much in terms of

are still intact and have not been corrupted or tampered with, are followed only by
Muslims. According to the Bible, Christ and the prophets before him used to prostrate
themselves in prayer before God: "Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked
with him, saying: As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be
a father of many nations." (Genesis 17/3); "When Abraham's servant heard their
words, that he worshiped the Lord, bowing himself to the earth." (Genesis
24/52); "So Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the
door of the tabernacle of meeting, and they fell on their faces. And the glory
of the Lord appeared to them." (Numbers 20/6); "And the Lord spoke to Moses
and Aaron, saying, 'Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I
may consume them in a moment.' And they fell upon their faces, and said, O
