A total of 122 ladies and three men, all expatriates from the Philippines, converted to Islam in Dubai, after a lecture by popular Muslim Filipino orator and preacher Omar Penalbar.
Penalbar was lecturing on tolerance in Islam and the message of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him).
The lecture was organised in the Al Twar area in Dubai by the Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM).
The preacher said the previous largest number of people to convert to Islam in the Philippines in one night with his help was 99. A new record has been set today when 125 individuals declared their conversion to Islam, he added.
Emirati families played a role in this when they accompanied the Filipino individuals to the forum, according to Mohammed Al Hashimi, who oversees the forum, organised during Ramadan.

"There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the right path has become distinct from the wrong path.'' Q2:256. It's on the record that Islam is the fastest growing religion and for you to see people matching towards the fitrah is the benevolence of Allah (swt). May Allah be pleased with the ummah of Nabiyy (saw) and increase us in numbers, eeman and knowledge, and help our course towards the path of the deen- Amin. |
