Hello

I think peace corps and other missionneries are waisting their time in my country, because after many years woriking in our villages not a single person converted to christianity. Rather some of these preachers my convert to islam later on in their life because of what they have seen in Mauritania. As dubaay said in his comment we pray more than 5 times a day alhamdulillah.

no not a waste of time for kids or teacher. It benefits them both eve if they never use it the brain develops broader connections.

Al Hamd'lilah for this non muslim sister.

@babasidiya Peace Corp is NOT about converting people to Christianity. It's about helping others.

Are you albino? Do people kill albinos for their magical powers in mauritania too?

@babasidiya

Peace Corps volunteers are not missionaries. They are not there to convert anyone to any religion. They are there because the government of your country has asked the United States for trained, skilled volunteers in any number of realms- agriculture, sanitation, health, education, etc. Peace Corps volunteers are not there to stop you from praying to keep you from your religion. Missionaries may do that, but Peace Corps volunteers don't.

And because the evidence for the minimal belief in one God is clear, a kafer can only be an Atheist, a Pagan, or a Christian or Jew who receives the message of Islam; unless, according to Imam Nawawi (May Allah show him mercy), that person has been effectively brainwashed toward hatred of Islam prior to receiving the clear message, in which case the person is exonerated from blame. I hope insha'Allah that the issue is more clear. Wal-salaam.

Al-salaamu 3alaykum. This needs to be addressed. A kafer is not anyone who is not Muslim. The Qur'an does not refer to Christians and Jews as kuffar; it refers to them as Christians and Jews. The word kafer derives from the verb "to cover; i.e. anything, from a seed one plants to covering the truth." To be a kafer one must first believe in the message of Islam, at least God Alone, and then outwardly deny Him and/or His religion like the Arab pagans during the time of Qur'anic revelation.
