CAPTAIN (JACQUES) COUSTEAU (I)
[In France Islam has been spreading at a high velocity among people who have made fame in various areas. The number of people who have abandoned Christianity and chosen Islam have reached one hundred thousand already. This score has been confirmed by the Archbishop of Paris, the highest Catholic rank in France.
It is noteworthy that people who have preferred Islam are not only from among workers and civil servants but also from among people renowned in every respect.
Among people who have chosen Islam is Captain Cousteau, whom the entire world closely knows for his explorations about life under water.
As the groundswell of embracing Islam was spreading among France’s universal celebrities, Captain Cousteau, the world’s most eminent undersea explorer, announced that by accepting Islam he had made the most correct decision of his life.
Captain Cousteau, who has revealed the secrets of oceans one by one with the films that he made and which are being televised worldover in a program subheaded The Living Sea, said that what actually prompted him to choose the Islamic religion was, after observing that the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean did not mix with each other, his seeing that the same phenomenon was written in the Qur’ân al-kerîm which had been revealed fourteen hundred years before.]
