“The essence of the true faith of Islam is resignation to the will of God [Allah] and its corner stone is prayer. It teaches universal fraternity, universal love, and universal benevolence, and requires purity of mind, purity of action, purity of speech and perfect physical cleanliness. It, beyond doubt, is the simplest and most elevating form of religion known to man.
Muhammad Alexander Russell Webb’s (earliest American convert to Islam, 1888) account of his journey to Islam at the 1st World's Parliament of Religions of 1893 in Chicago.
