properly


Answer =

assalamu alaikum, peace be upon you

many Muslims are born into secular families that use the title Muslim but don't have any understanding of the meaning. this is a direct result of colonization and more recent occupation of Muslim lands. these oppressors have made difficulties on the Muslims. so the result is a large population of uneducated Muslims immigrating from other countries. they are both uneducated in wordly matters and also in religious matters

but this is changing because of more books being printed and greater access to the internet. also with more worldly wealth colleges and universities are becoming more numerous. so many people who were born Muslim come to Islam in there early 20s. the biggest problem we are facing is uneducation but that is changing very rapidly

reverts to Islam are usually more pious because they have done a great deal of research into Islam. they study and study to make sure they are making the right choice. it is a very big dicision and many people born into Christian families face difficulties with their parents because of their decision. so a person converting must make sure that he is making the right decision

when a person studies Islam and the history of the Muslims and also about the prophet he can't help but to have a deep respect. someone who studies these things will come to appreciate the values and morals of this deen. therefore we find that of all those who are pious they also seem to be more knowledgable also. because the more a person learns about Islam then the more they love it

to those who were born Muslim and then come to Islam later in life, i consider them to be converts. because the prophet said the translated meaning that the difference between a believer and Kufar is the prayer. and on the day of judgement the angels will first look at the prayers of the Muslim and if he doesn't pray then they will not consider any of his other good deeds. so if someone grew up his whole life without praying even once and then becomes a pious person then i would consider them to be a convert. but that is just my opinion

remember that if we do not do the job then Allah will replace us with a people who are better than we are. and they will love him more than we do and they will fear him more than we do

and this is exactly what is happening. i can only speak for my own country, Canada. here what i have seen is that a lot of the older Muslims immigrated to this country to wordly benefits and not for the sake of their religion. what has happened is that these people have had lots of kids and now if you examine the youth they are very strong in their deen. in many cases they are doing dawah to their parents. all the Muslim youth ever talk about is to bring Islam back. all they talk about is Khalifah. Allah is replaces the bad Muslims with people who are better than them. it's only a matter of time before the western government are forced to adopt Islamic law. already many banks are looking at Islamic financing. it's only a matter of time now. and the only way to push us back down is by eliminated education

so do not forget about the Muslims when you are doing dawah. Muslims need dawah also. Muslims need Islam just as much as anyone else

i hope i answered your question

peace
