Assalamou Alaikoum,

The Holy Word of God.

Jesus greeted his disciples in this way. ‘Peace to you,’ he said. In fact this was his message and purpose of coming -to bring people like you and me to have peace with God and to have the peace of God. One of the prophets called Jesus, ‘the prince of peace.’ A man once painted a picture of a man with a sword in one hand and a dove of peace on the other. When asked if he could paint a man holding a dove with both hands, he replied, “I would have to paint a picture of Jesus.”

Jesus was a peacemaker and taught that his followers should act in the same way. They are to be at peace and love others including not only those closest to them such as their families and members of their religious family, but their neighbour as well -that is every body they meet. He even taught that his follower should love those who would disagree with them!

 

So it is with a spirit of love and respect that I invite you to consider what is written in this site. I write not as someone cleverer or more intellectual than you, but only as someone whom God pitied; whose eyes were opened by God to see the evidence and wonder of the truths that His Holy Word contains. I had rejected the Bible for years. In fact I even hated everything to do with Christianity. I was taught that the Bible was changed and therefore there was no need at all to even hold it between my hands. But God had mercy on me. One day I was given an Arabic Injil (New Testament). I said to my self, ‘Why can’t I read this book? Even the Qur’an recommends it to me. Let me read it and see what the people of the book (Christians) believe.’

 

And so with many presuppositions in my mind such as, ‘The Bible has been changed’ ‘Christians worship three gods,’ ‘God could never have a son,’ ‘the immorality of the Western society is the effect of Christianity,’ and many others, I started studying the Injil. Then later the surprise came to me. Christians have also the Tawrat  and Zabur in their Bible! They have all of God’s Holy Scriptures. This was a great discovery to me. I had never known that.

 

In my meeting with Muslims I often find that there are many misunderstandings about the Christian faith. They are asking questions similar to those I had. It is those questions that I want to address and answer. I am aware that many Muslims ask and discuss with an open mind. You may be one of them. If you are genuinely and sincerely seeking for the truth, then to you I address this small work.

 

My prayer is that God will be glorified as you benefit from the reading of the articles. I give praise to our loving, holy, just, gracious and merciful God of whom this site endeavours to speak. God alone is worthy, and so to Him be all praise and worship, both now and forever.
