woh, take it easy brothers and sisters. I think u missed the point I was trying to make. I in no way think that Napoleon converting to Islam adds to Islam's credibility. I only thought of bringing this up when I was reading another thread and simply thought it would be nice to know whether he did or not. Besides if he did convert then the conversion took place in the later part of his life so the actions that he committed as napoleon were not that of a muslim, so i was interested to find out how islam changed him for the better. I explained earlier that this fact I think will be of interes to muslims non-muslims alike. Ofcourse the most authentic book is the Quran and the most authentic opinion that of Allah and Prophet but how can u dismiss anyother history. If that were the case then are u saying that muslims shouldn't bother learning about any other history or any other form of i'lm (knowledge) for that matter. As long as we go to different sources and keep in mind that nothing is perfect except Allah and everything needs to be taken cautiously, I really don't understand what would be so wrong to find out if Napoleon who was known to be agreat eneral and was infamous for a lot of things, whether in the end he saw the truth and accepted islam and how did it chang him?
I was just curious and thought maybe any one of you might have heard about this?
