Know Islamic history to face deception
“Islam came to the world to stay till the day of judgment.”
In one sentence
Muslims must study the verified history of the Prophet's life and the early community so they can recognize modern anti-Islam media attacks as the same deception faced before and respond with informed, faithful conviction rather than doubt.
