I'm a Muslim and it is natural to feel happy for a man that joins the fold of my religion which I believe is the path to salvation (if I don't have the conviction, I wont practice it).

But I'm usually cautious with dream-based conversion, or indeed dream-based spiritual decisions in general, for two reasons.

1, It is subject to abuse. Anyone can claim he dreams that Islam is not the way and leaves Islam. If our argument for this kind of "favourable news" is based on dream, how do we counter or disprove one that "dreams" the opposite?

2, From my understanding of Islam, I know there are dreams. In fact, the Prophet (PBUH) was reported to have said there are 3 kinds of dream: good dreams from Allah, bad dreams from shaytan and dreams that are just a reaction to fantasies or what we think about (e.g, while awaiting my WAEC result, I can dream of seeing results).

It can be dangerous to rely on dream as we have seen many Muslims get misguided by dreams. I, for one, believe solatul fatih is a bid'ah (pardon me, non-Muslims, Muslims should be able to relate to this), but the initiator claims to have received it as a dream, that he saw "Prophet Muhammad" in his dream and he taught him. This goes contrary to what is well known that there is no addition to the deen after the prophet's death. As a matter of fact, shaytan (or his agents - shayatins) can disguise and mislead people in forms of dreams. I have seen this happen to people.

So what happens if this man comes back tomorrow and says he has dreamt again that Islam is not the way?

That is why I approach cases like this with caution. That said, since good dreams are from Allah, I find this acceptable - with caution, again.

My favourite basis of conversion is when someone sits down, studies the faith he is practicing vis a viz Islam and makes decision, not based on stupid wordly things we hear these days (like which one will make me richer, which people dress better, which one has adherents that pass exams more, which one has more doctors and which one has more motor park touts etc), but comparing the foundation, the kernel of each religion and arriving at superior. I did this in my coming of age (period when you question what you were born with and begin to search for truth - 2002-2003, for me) period too, and I found the foundation, the message of Islam incontrovertibly convincing. Hence, my firm choice.



So you are convinced you will receive 72 virgins?

One of the beauty of Islam is that Muslims dont just start cursing others. He accepted Islam, yes, we are happy for him because we believe it is the true religion. However, that doesn't make us look down on christians or even abuse n curse them anyhow. No. Islam doesn't teach us that.

Christians are now busy abusing Islam and Muslims. But Muslims shouldn't bother. let's pray for them. But that's one of the things I hate with some Christians. they always blast others with unreasonable thoughts of theirs.

Surah Nasr comes to my mind :

Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem
Idha ja a nasr Ullahi wa-l-fathu
Wa ra'ait an-nasa yadkhuluna fi din-Illahi afwaja
Fa-sabbih bi-hamdi Rabbi-ka wa-staghfir-hu
Inna-hu kana tawwaba

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
When Allah's succour and the triumph cometh
And thou seest mankind entering the religion of Allah in troops,
Then hymn the praises of thy Lord, and seek forgiveness of Him. Lo! He is ever ready to show mercy.

When a muslim becomes a Christian = good
A Christian to a muslim= end time= terrorist= brainwashed.
Why is there so much fuss about Islam? Why are Muslims considered bad? Why is it that when a Muslim is at the centre of a bomb blast he is tagged jihadist? A terrorist?
When a Christian is the prime suspect of a bomb blast he is said to be disturbed mentally?
Muslims are dying in thousands everyday, our brothers and sisters, old and young, weak and strong, and no one cares.
Muslims in Gaza are being killed and no one cares. The focus is "Muslims are terrorists. No one says Muslims are being oppressed and need help. Babies are killed, children are left parmanently disabled, orphaned and you don't care? All you wanna say and chant is TERRORIST!!! Who is being the terrorist here? The oppressors are being praised and the oppressed are look down on.
We need to look at ourselves before raising a finger to others.


i don't believe in religion but the fact is is islam have not known peace after the attack on the most powerful Christian country in the world

Christianity entails nothing but ROMAN PAGANISM, infact all doctrines,practices and festivals in christianity are purely rooted in ROMAN PAGAN PRACTICE. 1.THE NAME CHRISTIANS WAS GIVEN BY THE PAGANS.
2. THE First man to approve christianity and gave it popularity was ROMAN EMPEROR CALLED CONSTANTINE who was hitherto pagan. All his chiefs were pagan who loath christianity.
3. CALENDER SYSTEM BEQUITED TO US BY ANOTHER CHRISTIAN ROMAN LEADER -GREGORY was completely of pagan origin. And so on....,!!
OUR GOD CAN NEVER ACCEPT NOR ENDORSE SUCH PRACTISES AS CHRISTIANITY WHICH MUDDLE PAGAN PRACTICES WITH HIS TEACHINGS.!!
SO,THE MAN HAS MD THE BEST DECSN BY ACCEPTING I

You missed it all by coming up with this trash. Go and find out the meaning of Christianity, when and where the name emerged and the glorious events that led to disciples and other believers being called Christians. The Bible says the way of salvation is narrow and only a few finds it, for instant that fake and backslided prophet couldn't find the way throughout the years he wasted claiming to be a christian. Madness of the present time can't be any surprise for true Christians. It has been well described in the bible. Jesus dedicated the whole chapter to discuss latter day madness in seemly high places of worship, fake prophets, their aims and what will be their portion in heaven - damnation.

That a yoruba man is the imam, wont also stop your from removing his head when crisis erupts.

it's not the governor we talking, u this lying wailer. u said a yoruba man isnt allowed to be an imam in d north, so i cited one for you, just one and asked if it's ok to call u a liar!!! simple.

Put the Numbers in Perspective


More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition combined.


Islamic terrorists murder more people everyday than the Ku Klux Klan has in the last 70 years.


More civilians were killed by Muslim hijackers in two hours on September 11th than in the 36 years of sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland.

Islamic extremists massacred more Iraqis on a single day in June, 2014 than the number of American criminals executed in the last 40 years.



Muslim fundamentalists kill more people everyday than were killed during the entire Salem Witch Trials.


Sunni supremacists slaughtered more Yazidi minorities on August 14, 2014 than the number of black Americans lynched by White supremacists in the previous 100 years.

Five Questions With a Former Muslim Who Converted to Christianity



0

196
Nabeel Qureshi was raised in a Pakistani-American family and grew up a devout Muslim. While he was in medical school, he read the Bible for research in his debate against a Christian friend, and this began a journey that eventually led to his becoming a Christian. He shared his conversion story in his book Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, and he also works with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries telling his story and providing encouragement to those who seek to share their faith with a changing world.

In light of the fact that the Muslim world is front and center in the international press right now, we thought it would be particularly helpful to talk with Qureshi. He began by sharing his insights into some common misconceptions about Muslims.

1. What are a few common misconceptions evangelical Christians have about Muslims?

The unfortunate truth is that most people who call themselves Christians live nothing like Christ and just take His name in vain. Jesus was willing to eschew the company of the religious to live among the lost, even suffering scorn to be with them (Mark 2:15-17). From what I’ve seen, many evangelical Christians live in what I call “Christian bubbles” instead of living life with those who are not covered by the blood of Jesus (for example, Muslims). Because of this, they maintain unfortunate misconceptions about their Muslim neighbors. Here are the three most prevalent misconceptions I have seen:

Misconception #1: “Muslims are violent people.” Of the thousands of Muslims I grew up with and knew as a child, not a single one promoted violence. Without commenting on whether historical Islam teaches violence, I can unequivocally say the vast majority of Muslims in the West are truly peaceful people.

Misconception #2: “Muslims are all the same.” From Sufis to Salafis, Arabs to Bosnians, nominals to zealots, that could not be further from the truth.

Misconception #3: “Muslims are godless.” Devout Muslims live their lives in constant remembrance of Allah, trying to follow their creator in prayers, fasts, scripture memorization, sacrificial alms, adherence to tradition, and Sabbath congregations.

2. There are agnostics who would say that your conversion really wasn’t a conversion at all — that Allah and the Christian God are the same, and you’re just swimming in a different river that leads to the same ocean. What would you say to those people?

In one sense, I’d agree with them. A universe without a god would by necessity be a place without absolute morals, without ultimate hope, without true meaning, without altruistic love, and without inherent value. It would be a chaotic and ruthless system of despair. By contrast, a theistic world allows for morality, hope, meaning, love and value. As Islam and Christianity are both theistic worldviews, they are far closer to each other than the distant and bleak outlook of atheism. But that does not mean they are the same. The God of the Gospel is a Father, whereas the god of Islam explicitly denies being a father. Yahweh is triune, whereas Allah is a simple unity. Yahweh is infinitely merciful and infinitely just, whereas Allah grants mercy to some and exacts justice on whosoever he wills. Their characteristics are quite different.

The Gospel is this: that God saw our sin and suffering, and instead of standing removed from the world, watching and judging, He entered into the world and suffered alongside us, taking our burden from us, paying our penalty for us. He secured our eternity for us because we cannot earn our own salvation, and He offered proof of eternal life by rising from the grave and defeating death. Allah did not do and would never do any such things. These two conceptions of God might look similar from afar, but there’s a world of difference between them.

3. What’s one part of the Bible that made you uncomfortable when you first became a Christian, and how did you handle it?

Shortly after becoming a Christian, I realized that for 22 years of my life, I had been duped into believing the Qur’an was the Word of God because I just listened to the Muslims around me. They were well-meaning, to be sure, and they had some arguments, but ultimately they were wrong. We’ve all heard the phrase, “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me!” I did not want to play the fool for well-meaning Christians, so I needed excellent reason to believe the Bible was the Word of God. I decided to study under critics of the Bible, such as Bart Ehrman, to see what they had to say.

One of the matters that made me uncomfortable was that the canon of the New Testament was not finalized until the fourth century. Why did it take so long for Christians to agree on what books belong in the Bible? What I found was that some Roman Emperors, such as Diocletian, had made Christianity effectively illegal; Christians weren’t at liberty to gather and discuss their books. About 300 years after Jesus, Christianity was made legal, and believers began to gather from all corners of Christendom. One would think that, without having discussed what books belong in the Bible, there would be much disagreement. In truth, it was remarkable how much they agreed! Without needing much discussion, the books of the New Testament were agreed upon. Far from seeing this as a human process, I see the hand of the Holy Spirit in this.

4. Recently, a devout, evangelical, Palestinian pastor was interviewed by Christianity Today and said, “I hope my brothers and sisters in the West … have enough room in their hearts not just for Israel but also for the Palestinians.” As a former Muslim, what are your thoughts on this complicated conflict?

As a Christian who focuses on the Gospel message, I believe that we are called to sacrificially love everyone, including both Israelis and Palestinians. We must understand the plight of the Palestinians as well as that of the Israelis. What good does it do to love only those who love us? Honestly, I think my opinion has nothing to do with being a former Muslim, but everything to do with being a follower of Jesus.

5. With apologies for the title of our interview, do you ever get tired of being “The Guy Who Converted From Islam to Christianity”? I mean, do you ever feel like you’ve been typecast as a believer?

Yes! Thanks for asking! After nine years of being a follower of Jesus, you’re the first who’s asked! Even the term “former Muslim” makes me feel like I’m forever bound by the life I left. We don’t identify other Christians as “former adulterers,” “former narcissists,” etc. I have been made a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), I strive every day to cast off the old self and to put on the new (Ephesians 4:22-24), reflecting the fact that I have been born again from above (John 3:3). I would be thrilled if I never had to talk about Islam again, focusing instead on the awe-inspiring power of God’s incarnation and resurrection! But as long as there are Muslims, there will be Christians who need to be equipped to share the Gospel with them in compelling compassion. Until that is no longer the case, I am honored to discuss my former way of life to build up the body of Christ. Thanks for giving me this opportunity.

Thanks for taking the time to share with us, Nabeel.
