Essay By Kamal Saleem
I have lived the majority of my life as a Muslim zealot. I loved Allah (God of Islam), Muhammad the prophet of Islam, to the point of offering my life as a martyr. In order to be a Muslim a person must come to a complete submission of self and his worldly desires to Islamic constitution what we call in Arabic Shariah Low.
I was awakened to Islam at an early age through the teaching of my family, madras, and the Muslim brotherhood. I learned from the Hadith the life and the sayings of Muhammad and the Koran the holy book of Islam that my eternity will be judged by my works. Sura 99:6-8 (speaking of the of judgment) On the day when men shall come up in separate bands to show their works, and he who does the weight of a dust particle of good shall see it, 8 and he who does the weight of a dust particle of evil shall see it. What it is saying that Allah will weigh good and bad works and whatever is greater a person would go to paradise or hell.
As I grew older and wiser in the Islamic teaching, I was reading from the Koran Sura 29:45 46 And do not wrangle with the people of the Book, except for what is better; save with those who have been unjust amongst them and who say, 'We believe in what is sent down to us, and what has been sent down to you; our God and your God is one, and we are unto Him resigned.' 46 Thus did we send down to thee the Book; and every one to whom we have given the Book believes therein. But these will not believe therein; though none contradict our signs except the misbelievers. What Allah is saying in these Suras is that the Jews, Christians and the Muslims are all his people of true religion. Allah has given them their holy books and they worship one god and should not be any dispute. Allah promised in the Koran given to Muhammad that no one can change the word of his book no matter what it may be, he watches over it Koran Sura 6:34 "None can change the words of God; Koran Sura 10:64 There is no changing the words of God, that is the mighty triumph." Koran Sura 18:27 "And recite what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord, there is none who can alter His words; and you shall not find any refuge besides Him." Now we now the Torah, Bible and the Koran are the true books of God according to the teaching of Islam they are not changed, or changeable.
There is no mention in the Koran that the religion of Islam is to abrogate (meaning try to abolish or replace) specifically Judaism or Christianity, the majority of Muslim Imams (None radical) disagree with theory of abrogation. A (Naskh-Manskh - Reading between the lines in hope to interpreter the Koran Sura)! Radical Muslims and the Wahhabi Islamists attempt to teach this idea as a part of the new age Islamist theory. Hoping that by teaching today's generation that Islam is to replace Judaism and Christianity they will have one true, final religion. The theory of abrogation is very, very weak.
The Koran and the Hadith by Muhammad actually declare Jesus Christ is the only prophet who was born of a virgin birth, and that Christ was conceived by the breath of God through the Holy Spirit into a virgin Mary who was most holy among women. It also declares Jesus is the only prophet without sin.
Muhammad the prophet of Islam, sinned many times, and the Koran speaks about these accounts of his sins, Muhammad said "I am only a messenger."
It is Gods will that Jesus to be the savior to all humanity including the Muslims. The Koran unquestionably confirms the authenticity of the Bible, and the fact the Koran came after the Bible and has proved the Bible is the word of Allah, and Allah watches over his word not to be changed. It is not applicable to the content of the Bible to be corrupted (Astagfer Allah al Azzim) Allah forbid, he is able. It is God's willpower that Jesus is the Savior to all humanities including the Muslims. Muslims need to know that Jesus loves them and wants to save them. The teaching of the Torah and Old Testament proved the coming of Emanuel the Christ. Isaiah 7:14 "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, God is with us." Mark 3:11 tells us "and whenever the evil spirits saw Jesus; they fell down before him and cried out, 'You are the Son of God.'". In book of Matthew 27:54, Mark 15:39; and Luke 23:47, even the Roman soldiers knew Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God.
The Bible today is the book of life. The Koran and Muhammad himself declared it. John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 10:30 Jesus said "I and the Father are one." John 14:24 "He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me."
I know I love my Muslim family and believe Jesus Christ the savior wants the Muslim to come to Him. As we are seeing the phenomena, the appearance of Jesus Christ over the world of Islam, over six million Muslim came to Christ in 2007 alone. It is happening and we can't deny it. Jesus Said in Luke 19:40 "But He answered and said to them 'I tell you if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out'"
Let's give praises to the Lord together. Now listen to me family of Christ John 12:32 reminds us "But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself." We must give the gift of life to all men kind as He gave it freely as a gift to us: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son". (John3:16).
Millions of Muslims are waiting for your obedience, and all you have to do is to lift up His name and He will draw them unto Himself. 2 Corinthians 4:3-6 "But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who don't believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus' sake. For it is God who commands light out of darkness, who has shone the light in our hearts to give the light of knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
I finish with this; share your God given testimony with others. Let them know how God has changed your life. For Jesus said "They overcame him by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony." Until next time, "let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven." (Mathew 5:16). You are equipped!!!
