Tania’s Reviews > Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus: A Devout Muslim Encounters Christianity > Status Update

I submit that Jesus Christ is Lord of heaven and earth. He
came to this world to die for my sins, proving His lordship by rising from
the dead. I am a sinner, and I need Him for redemption. Christ, I accept You
into my life.

Who is this God who loves me so much, even in my failures?

to settle the disputes over the Quran once and for all, Uthman
“Ordered that all the other Quranic materials, whether written in
fragmentary manuscripts or whole copies, be destroyed by fire.

When Muhammad died, many people no longer felt the need to remain
Muslim. Abu Bakr sent Muslims to fight the apostates, ordering them to
fulfill their Islamic obligations. Muslim fought former Muslim until
many who had known the Quran lost their lives in battle. Abu Bakr ordered the Quran to be collected under the auspices of one Zaid ibn Thabit.

The greatest thing a Muslim can do after having faith is to engage in jihad. As if to clarify what kind of jihad, Sahih Bukhari clarifies, “religious fighting.”

“I have been ordered by Allah to fight against
people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah
and that Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and
give the obligatory charity . . . then they will save their lives and property
from me."

O.o

If a Western Muslim wants to paint a peaceful portrait of
Muhammad, all they have to do is quote peaceful hadith and verses of the
Quran, to the exclusion of the violent ones. If an Islamic extremist wants to
mobilize his followers to acts of terrorism, he will quote the violent
references, to the exclusion of the peaceful ones.

This God, the God of the gospel, was beautiful. I was spellbound by this message. My heart and my mind were caught in the beginnings of a revolution.
