I grew up in a Christian home and baptized as Christian but thank God Alhamdulillah I reverted to Islam. I’ve never ever felt so liberated. It’s something nobody understands unless you submit to the one and the only. Allah. I live with Christians and I love them they love me. Obviously we don’t believe the same but I love my people and they’re true Christians because they love me and defend me anytime anyone speaks badly about my decision in becoming a devoted Muslim woman. Mashallah Allahu Akbar! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

We know for a FACT the prophet would never treat a lady disrespectfully although women and men are equal they both play different roles in society. Mohammed was poor for the majority of his prophethood and was boycotted for 13 years after he revealed his prophecy, he would not of "made up" Islam which is also impossible for any human to do.

Alhamdulliah, Al-Qur'an teaches us that Christians are closer to us in faith. In fact, the majority of those who come to Al-Islam are from Christian backgrounds, like myself. Reading about Jesus the Christ (PBUH) in Al-Qur'an and how beautiful it displays him helped bring me to embrace Al-Islam. Prior to reading Al-Qur'an, I was told by family members, friends and colleagues who were Christians that Muslims didn't believe in Jesus the Christ Peace Be Upon him. I was blessed to seek this for myself and saw that they were wrong.

Awesome post brother. Welcome to THE Truth that is Al-Islam. The Qur'an (The LITERAL and verbatim Word of God) Tells us that the Christians are the closest to us so it HAS to be true. Whatever comes from THE Truth (Allah) is Truth. If you haven't check ed them out already, I'd look up on YT: Jerald Dirks (Former Harvard Biblical Seminary Scholar), Yusuf Estes and Yusha Evans. All Muslims now, Alhamdulillah. Also check out the discussions in Speakers Corner in London, specifically SCDawah and EFDawah. Good stuff to learn from those channels. Take care off your self and may Allah wrap you in his blessings and peace.

Because TRUTH is at stake here. We cannot over look the truth, just to avoid conflict; not physical conflict, but spiritual conflict. IF Jesus is the ONLY way to God, then we need to stand firm in our faith. That being said, we must be open to dialogue with other people of other faiths, to make sure of what we believe, and if we find that we have believed something not true, we must be open to accept the truth. Sometimes KNOWING WHAT IS TRUTH, can be hard though..

What this Pastor understands and realizes is how similar the teachings and practices of Jesus the Christ and Muhammad ibn Abdullah, Peace Be Upon both Prophets are. Here are the following examples: Both Prophets and their followers give one another the greetings of peace along with the other Prophets before them, both wore robes and beards. Both men prayed and prostrated to Allah at proscribed times. Jesus Christ for instance would get up during the dark dawn morning, which is Fajr prayer and when he would pray, he fell on his face which Imam Omar described as sajjud. Before prayers, Muslims either do ghusl which is a full bath, or do wudhu, which requires rinsing the mouth, nose, ears, arms and washing the feet. Jesus and his disciples also performed washing before praying, especially the feet. Jesus fasted for 40 days and upon completion was full of hunger and thirst. Ramadan is at the maximum 30 days without eating and drinking and sexual intercourse between spouses during the daylight hours. By the end of Ramadan, which is Eid-ul-Fitr, the Muslims who fasted are full of hunger and thirst. Both taught the key to an everlasting life is love G-D with all of your heart, mind and strength, love your neighbor, forgiveness to friend and fo. In Al-Islam one cannot embrace this faith unless they believe these things about Jesus the Christ Peace Be Upon him: was born of a virgin birth, performed miracles, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, feeding the hungry in thousands, the one miracle of Jesus the Christ Peace Be Upon him that is only in Al-Qur'an and not the Bible is the ability to speak from the cradle shortly after his birth, ascension to Paradise and returning in the last days before the Day of Judgment. Also that he is the Messiah as well as Prophet and Messenger of Allah SWT. Mary, the mother of Jesus the Christ Peace Be Upon him is the only woman in Al-Qur'an mentioned by name. She is mentioned 34 times and there's a Surah Maryam, named after her, which is the 19th Surah in Al-Qur'an. Like Christianity, Maryam, or Mary is the model of womanhood in Al-Islam for her obedience to Allah SWT, righteousness and her raising a great and wonderful son who called the Nation of Israel to worship Allah and follow him. She is also a model for her modesty. In pictures and statues that are supposed to be of Mary, she was always covered from head to toe.This is why Muslim women and nuns cover their hair. So when one criticizes Muslim women for covering, especially their hair, they are unknowingly criticizing the mother of Jesus the Christ Peace Be Upon him. Saying Peace Be Upon him, or them is a salutation to all of the prophets. To this day worldwide and even here in the United States in cities such as Newark Delaware and Syracuse NY there are Masajid (Mosques) named after Jesus in Arabic Masjid Isa ibn Maryam (Jesus the son of Mary).

All these things may be true. HOWEVER, the MOST important doctrine of the Christian faith is that Jesus died on the cross as a sacrifice for the sins of the world, and rose from the dead to give believers eternal life. For a CHRISTIAN, this is MOST important, and the Quran does not address this. And neither does this Christian minister which I find mind boggling! IF you are going to be a teacher of the Christian faith, you better stand up for the MOST important doctrine of THAT faith. I am not debating here on which religion is true. I am just saying that a Christian minister has a responsibility to teach the doctrines of the Christian faith, does he not?

@@pattyclifton7905 This is an interfaith dialogue, not interfaith division. A dialogue is where you find common ground or similarities and less on differences. In this day and age, we need to unite as human beings and not divide and fight among ourselves due to our beliefs. Of course, the Pastor may believe this, but like the Imam, he's addressing commonalities.

Wow I love this brotherhood. It brought me in tears of joy. This is a great friendship. I am a Muslim, but my bestfriend is an christen. We been friends since ninth grade. We die for another if it comes to it. She’s been there for me through thick and thin. We love each other like sisters, our faith has never mattered. We both respect each other’s faith that we celebrate our differences together. That’s the way it should be love and respect and living peace and harmony. I wish more people know and understood this. I want to thank both these men for there courage and hope for humanity.
