Ash hado an la illaha illa allah wa mohamed rasul allah.
I bear witness that there is no deity but ALLAH and mohamed is his slave and messenger.
I have been studying islam for a while with an open mind eliminated all those false thoughts that were imprinted in my head by my society.
But I was not ready to make such commitment, but thank to the people on this board now I am able to make this commitment.
FIrst, I noticed whenever someone makes a point about islam it is deleted right away, whenver someone asks christians a question that they dont understand they run away unable to answer, thats because they arent even sure if christ is their lord becuase he is not. And I noticed that its always the christians that are attacking islam and all islam does is defend itself but in the end they are called terrorists.
I thank allah for guiding me and hope he guides you.
My final advice. YOur blind, question your beliefs, could they be logical? study the quarn with an open mind dont be prejudice and study the life of mohamed with the intention of learning about the man not study his life so that you can tell people he is a murderer.
Study the bible with Open Mind MLAE ! You will understand the sacrifice of Christ .
Jesus said that "Greater love has no man than this, that he lay his life down for his friend," (John 15:13). Jesus laid his life down for his friends. Jesus performed the greatest act of love in the universe. He died for our sins. He paid the penalty of breaking the Law, which is death. If this were not so, there would be no damnation.
Jesus took our sins and died on the cross in our place (1 Pet. 2:24). This great act of love is unsurpassed in all the world. It means that you can, like Abraham (Gen. 15:6), be righteous by faith. All you need is faith in Jesus.
Are you tired of trying to keep all the Laws in Islam as you strive to do more good deeds than bad deeds in the hope that on the Day of Judgment your good deeds will outweigh your bad? Because you earn in large part your salvation, you cannot know whether or not you will be saved. If you are tired of trying to be perfect, of trying to obtain Paradise through your works, then you need Jesus. Jesus said, "If any of you are heavy laden, come to me, and I will give you rest," (Matt. 11:28).
Jesus forgave sins in Luke 5:20 and 7:48-49. He walked on water (Matt. 14:25). He rose from the dead (Matt. 28:6). Have you done more than He in keeping the Law or performing miracles? Has even the Prophet Muhammad done more than Jesus?
The Good News is that you, like Abraham, can be made righteous by faith. Do you want the righteousness that is by faith? Or, do you want to earn Paradise through your deeds? Can you earn it? Have you done it so far? Have you been doing enough?
Jesus said:
that He gives eternal life, (John 10:28-30).
that He received all authority in heaven and earth, (Matt. 28:18).
that He was the Way the Truth and The Life, (John 14:6).
that He will resurrect people on the Last Day, (John 6:40, 44, 54).
that the Holy Spirit bears witness of Him, (John 15:26).
Do you want to try and please God through keeping the Law of Allah or by the grace of Christ? Is the greatest act of love to ask you to earn heaven through good deeds or is it to be a sacrifice in order to give to you what you cannot attain yourself? In which is the greatest act of love?
If you want the eternal life that Jesus can give you, then trust what He did on the cross and do not rely on your own works to please God. Trust Jesus by faith. It is not Muhammad who forgives sins. Jesus does that (Luke 5:20; 7:48-49). Jesus said, "Believe in God. Believe also in me," (John 14:1).
Like Abraham, be righteous in God's eyes . . by faith.
