Assalamualaikum to all fellow Muslim readers. Peace be to the rest.
I have been in the Islamic information services since 1990. I have met thousands of good people from the West who came seeking the truth about Islam at our Islamic centre at the Kapitan Keling Mosque in the city of Georgetown, Penang, which is my home state. In Islam, we do not compel anyone to come into the faith. You can lead a horse to the water but you can’t force it to drink ! A classic proverb that explains it all so perfectly.
I used to have the Christian visitors sit with me and my friends in the marbled walkways of the mosque’s inner sections. We used to answer their numerous questions about Islam. What the principles of Islam are and why Islam makes sense. Some of those visitors had actually been on a soul-searching trip to our mosque for which they had been saving up for some time. Word of mouth by those who had benefitted from our information services at IPCI (Malaysia) gets around and these people really meant to come seek the truth for what it is.
Many a time we came across individuals who, after being with us for a couple of days, studying, researching and asking countless questions, eventually come to embrace Islam and Alhamdulillah, some took the Shahadah from me and my friends. Eventually, these new Muslim brothers and sisters from the USA, Britain, Australia, Canada, etc., return home to their countries and passed on the message.
I have had people ask for us by name and they spend time with us in the mosque, learning about their birthright to be Muslims and being smart and intelligent, they end up taking Shahadah with us and in turn, go out to preach the truth about Islam, Allah’s Code of Life for all of mankind.
Today, we see Muslims being propositioned by Christian evangelical groups and missionaries relentlessly with a zeal that astounds us. Day by day, they seek out the weak, the poor, the sick, the destitutes amongst the Muslims of Asia and work their way in. Many of these missionaries work under guise of charities and relief effort workers.
By doing a bit of research, what do I find ? Countless projects by the Christian Global Missionaries out with a purpose…to convert the Muslims to their creed.
Among those which I found are these :
- Caleb Project : Malaysia & Singapore
- John Mark Ministries : Pray for Christians in Malaysia
- Prayer Profile : The Malay of Malaysia
They even have a 30-Day Study of Ramadan and its special meaning to us Muslims. Their missionaries are encouraged to study the facts and figures of Islamic teachings yet use this knowledge to sow seeds of doubts and draw the weak and meek amongst the Muslims to “Believe in Jesus as the Lord Almighty”. Na’uzu billahi min zaalik !
It boggles the mind to see the extent to which these evangelists are going all out to rope in the poor, the feeble and the weak of faith amongst the Muslims. The Muslims of the world need to wake up to this strategy of the kuffar and put their affairs right. Maybe the wandering Jamaat Tablighs of the world who waste their precious time “worrying” about Islam should come to their senses and instead of haranguing the Muslims, go after these missionaries. That would be a sight to see ! A friend of mine by the name of Mirza aptly referred to the Jamaat as “Tablighones”.
The Prophet Muhammad left us a clear and complete message. A way of life enjoined by Allah ta’ala. Now comes this group, innovating a system that is entirely thought up by a Maulana Ilyas and a Maulana Zakariya from Deoband, India, going out on a 3 days, 40 days, 4 months “da’awah walkabout” especially to the IPB countries !
When I come to think about the hadith of Rasulullah SAW about the Ummah dividing themselves into 73 sects and movements whereby 72 of these wayward sects will be in the Hellfire and only the one Ahlul Sunnah Wal Jamaah will be saved, I think of this and the numerous other groups cropping up amongst us, each claiming to be The Chosen Ones.
May Allah SWT guide us all. Ameen.

There is no need to lie about Islam, there is no need to speak slander against Muslims. There is no need to speak against Allah, or make say evils things about His Prophet.
Yeshua has said that upon the ‑revelation that He is the Son of Elohim‑, he would build his assembly : So if hell shall not overcome the revelation, how can man ?
Pharaoh began a fight against YHVH Elohim and lost. YHVH Elohim made sure that the whole world would know that those who fight against him will surely be humbled. Likewise with Sha’ul who was persecuting the followers of Yeshua : Sha’ul went against the advice of his own Torah teacher Gamaliel, and persecuted the followers of Yeshua, but Yeshua met him on the way to Damascus, reminding him of his teacher’s advice. When a man makes a fight with God, who will win ? When a man beats his wife don’t they both hurt ?
The zeal to evangelise the whole world is a work of the Holy Spirit of God, and not of ourselves only : … So can a fisherman persuade 3000 souls in one day, without the power of God ?
The light of the world shines in the darkness, the power of God blows in like the wind. Those who are unloved are loved, and those who are in bondage are set free. In the name and by the blood of Yeshua the Holy One of Israel. Not by might, not by power, but by the Holy Spirit of God.
I chance upon your website and found it interesting. I am a Jew and probably the only Jew that has responded to this website. I am not pro Jewish, anti Moslem or anti Christian. I am human, believer in the One God that our respective faiths of the Abrahamic covenant are purported to follow.
I would to correct an important misconception. While it is true the Jews consider themselves “God’s Chosen People”, that has nothing to do with arrogance. Both Islam and Christianity recognize that the Jewish people were to first to be called to the faith of the One God and given the Torah on Mount Sinai. The Torah (which corresponds to the first 5 books of the Christian Old Testament)provides the foundation for both the Holy Quran and the Holy Bible. Choseness implies a special relationship, one of servitude to the One God and not about looking down on the rest of humanity. Judaism is a non judgmental religion that does not focus on heaven or hell. Nowhere in Hebrew Bible (which corresponds to the Christian Old Testament) does it talk of non believers going to hell. This concept was first introduced in the Christian Gospels. Therefore, Judaism does not judge Moslems nor Christians and maintains that the “righteous of all nations will have a place in the world to come”.
What Judaism does do is to focus on right living, ethical conduct and justice. Jews have been in the forefront of social change, scientific achievement and artistic excellence throughout human history from Moses to Jesus, from Benjamin Disraeli to Karl Marx and from Albert Einstein to Steven Spielberg.
Judaism predated both Christianity and Islam. The first Christians were mainly Jews and Christianity initially grew as a sect within Judaism, deriving its initial forms of worship from Judaism and meeting in the synagogue or Jewish house of worship. Christianity started to deviate from its Jewish beginnings only in the 2nd-3rd century after it first appeared when Jewish Christians were outnumbered by Gentile Converts and with the conversion of the Roman polity to Christianity.
There is much similarity between Islam and Judaism. There were thriving Jewish communities (and smaller Christian communities) in the Arabian peninsula during the time of Mohammad although most of these communities ceased to exist within the first century of the rise of Islam. Both Jews and Moslems do not eat pork and do not permit graven images of any kind in their house of worship. Jewish dietary practices (kosher) have similarities with Moslem halal practices. For example animals are brought to a quick death by a slit to the carotid arteries and the carcass of the animal is hung upside down to drain the blood. These laws are described in detail in the Torah. Finally, both Moslems and Jews pray in the direction of their holy cities — Mecca in the case of Moslems and Jerusalem in the case of Jews.
Jews do not want to fight with Moslems nor Christians. It is sad that Israel is much maligned as we have no voice to speak to in countries like Malaysia so there is little prospect for understanding. Jews are not interested in taking over the world nor can we do so even if we wanted to. We are too few in number with only 13 – 14 million worldwide. It is easy to hate us when you are not even able to speak with us so you imagine us as gargolyes bent on world domination.
Not every Jew is smart nor rich. Although the Israeli economy grew by 5 – 6% per annum last year (inspite of the war in Lebanon) and it has a per capita income of close to US$20,000 with high-tech exports to many countries, unemployment is at 8.5% and the poverty rate exceeds 20%. There is only one Jewish nation in the world. It is so small, probably no larger than the state of Selangor and very dry as it is located in a semi-arid region of the world with long dry summers. Nor does Israel have any oil or gas. All it has is the talent of its 6 million people trying to make a living in a pretty unfriendly neighborhood.
So this business about choseness is not something we are proud of. It is a yoke that is heavy to carry and in a world full of hate and misery we can only enjoin with our Moslem and Christian brothers to pray for peace. My hope is for Israel to be accepted among its Arab neighbors and Christians, Moslems and Jews to work for world peace together. You see, we Moslems, particularly the Arabs are after all semitic cousins and share a common ancestor in Abraham/Ibrahim. And Jesus, who inspired Christianity was Jewish — he lived his life as Jew, was true to Torah, enlightened the meaning of Torah and died a Jew is regarded by both Christians, Moslems (and some Jews) as the Messiah.
Moses taught the Law, Jesus taught Love and the Prophet Mohammad taught submission to God and there is actually a lot of commonality in all of these messages because the common thread must be about respect for each other because if we love God we must after all love each other.
Lingeswaran,
Common man don’t get involved in this fight.Christian missionaries are known to create truble in every part of the world. If I have to choose a better devil between the two — will choose Islam. It’s anytime better than Christian teaching. But supporting one of them would be escaping from tiger’s mouth and falling into crocodile’s mouth. You support Christians in Malaysia thinking we are minorities, they will put carrot in your *** like what they are known to do.
Christian missionaries are using in the Islamic world, these new methods have been applied because the old methods did not prove as effective as the Christian missionaries thought they were. Some of the problems were the great gap between Islam and Christianity such as the principle of trinity and escalation of Jesus PBUH. Some of these new ways are:-
1) Misguiding, making similar, lying (taDDlel, khida3, labs Al-7aqaiq) Many books have been written for Muslims, keeping the belief of Muslims, their ideas and general princeples in mind. The book “shahadat Al-Quran” which was distributed all around the Islamic world, even in Saudi Arabia. This book was taken from the book “The Lord is one” for Zakariya Boutros. This book talks about the similarities between Islam and Christian faith. They, for example, quote the verse that refers to prophet Jesus PBUH as a prophet, a word and a spirit. They say that is originaly the same trinity ! Of course this is a false interpretation, a lie. Allah said he blew in Adam of his own spirit, allah gave his word to Moses, David, Ibraham, Adam, Mohammad PBUT and not only to Jesus. The missionaries base this whole theory on the fact that there are three nouns, ie just because of the number. One of their other arguments that they say that “In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful” means three gods!! not one ! that is a worst liethan the one before, they ignore that Allah has 99 names that we know, and many more that Allah promised to tell his prophet at the day of judgment.
2) Building churches that look similar to mosques : Muslims were turned off from entering churches because they looked different, that also made them feel very uncomfortable with them. They also changed the internal structure of the church to look similar to a mosque, the people sit on the floor and in lines. They have circles (7alaqat) for teaching and that sort of stuff. They started using a new way for reciting the bible that is similar to the Tarteel of Quran. The also try to compare Christ in Islam to Christ in “Christianity”. They misquoted Tafseer Al-jalaleen, and make it sound like the Tafseer says Jesus PBUH knows the time of Domesday (ya3lamu Assa3a), when you refer to Al-Jalaleen you find that the time of Domesday is known to be very soon when Jesus comes (to3lamu benozolihi assa3a). In other words they lie in a shamefuly. This is used to fool the muslim who is not educated about his religion. Another book is “Al-saleeb fi al-injeel wal-quran”, where they claim that Shiekh Al-fakhr Al-Razi believes that Jesus was killed on the cross, when you check al-Tafseer Al-Kabeer you find that this is a big lie. Al-Fakhr Al-Razi quoted a question from a Christiana guy then took pages to answer it so they quoted the QUESTION of the Christian guy!!! This is one of many examples.
3) Names : they started using Islamic names, for examples one of their radio stations that has a person that is responsible for answering the questions of the listeners is called “Shiekh Abdallah”, his program is called “Allahu Akbar”, other radio stations are called “Sawt Al-7aq”, “noor 3ala noor”. They can use different names but they use these only to confuse muslims with their misguided preaching.
4) The started a new way, not to tell muslims things as they are, for example not to tell them that Xtians believe that Jesus is the Son of Allah (a3ooth Billah), since Jesus himself didn’t use that expression, so they use other words like “the spirit of Allah” since it is closer to the understanding of a muslim. They also use titles that are common between the two religions such as “Assalah”, “Assawm”, “Assadaqa” which include Christian propaganda but a title that is used to hunt muslim readers.
5) The use of Islamic expressions such as “bismilalhi Al-Rahmani Al-raheem”, “Jesus Alaihi assalam”, “Allah subhanah”, “Allah tabarak wa ta3ala” … calling their churches “boyoot Allah” (houses of God). They sometimes even claim to accept Islam as a religion from God, but they say that Christianity was not canceled by Islam ! (ghayr-nasekh). There is a book called “deen Al-Masee7 lam Yonsakh” by Iskandar Jadid (Xtian), he also misquoted Al-Jalaleen claiming that they said that muslims must ask the people of the book “Is’alo ahlal-thikr” when in fact Al-Jalaleen were explaining that Allah was asking the Kufar to check with Ahl Al-Kitab that Allah always sent MALE messengers only, like Jesus, Moses, David … etc pubt. And to ask them onyl about that, not anything else.
6) Making concessions to win muslims : for examples making Qudas (Christian ceremony) on Fridays not on Sundays to confuse muslims, this was done in Kuwait for example.
7) Accepting the princeple of polygamy. A funny thing to mention, In England, there was a conference in 1409 AD for priests (assaaqifat Al-Injeel) and a big discussion took place about polygamy, many of them totally rejected that issue and said that this is one thing they use against Islam, but they faced the problem that if they didn’t allow polygamy they will lose their campaigns in Africa, after realizing that, they allowed it. There are catholic priest in Africa with 40 wives or more.
8) They say that many muslims have changed to Christianity and they publish books and cassettes about that. For example the book “limatha sirtu masee7iyan?” for a writter “sultan Muhammad Bolous”, a weird mix of Christian and muslim names, they claim in this book that this person was a muslim from Afghanistan who was the son of a scholar and went to Mecca to do Hajj, asked Allah for one thing which was to give him the true guidance, then the book says they he accepted Christianity, the rest of the book is attacks on Islam that appear to be written by someone who has done a whole lot of research and is very deep into Islamic issues. It is very obvious that this book is false and forged, this is a way that is used quite a lot by Christians and even shi3a and the other misguided, lost sects who claim that Ahlul-sunna wal-jama3a do the same thing (go to Hajj and ask for true guidance and accept their sect .. ). Another book “Sudan rushes to God”, giving a lot of stories about many people who came back to Xtianity, many of them are actually originaly Christians who strengthen their bond with the (Adden Al-Mansookh, deen Al-Kaneesah) unrighteous way. some other cases they to be originaly muslims. We say in answer “In Tastafti7o faqad Ja’akom Al-Fat7u”, Sudan is rushing to Allah because Islamic law is being applied more and more day by day, The Xtian military state in the south loses more and more and now it is a little insignificant group that has no place to stay, the kafir tribes in the south are coming into the religion of Allah. Like Allah said in his book, when the victory of Allah comes, and you see the people coming into Islam in big groups then do “tasbee7” for Allah and thank him a lot, aski him for forgiveness because he is Attawab. (surat Al-FatH).
9) Taking the children from their parents and raising them according to their belief. for example in England they started special Hotels for children where they stay there with no connection with their parents, the workers there speak many languages, funny how most of them are muslim spoken languages (eg Arabic). Another example is Bosnia children who were taken from Bosnia in Italy and France where they are raised according to Xtian belief, children who are 3month-3years old who know nothing about their original religion. Even if these children discover what happened to them they will still have doubts from what was taught to them for all their lives.
10) Education Curriculums : In Egypt the Christians there protested and asked to remove the verses of Quran and the Hadeeths from curriculums, they write several articles in the newspapers. And how fast do you think did the government answer ? in a very short while the curriculums were changed and the verses and Ahadeth were dropped, the government used the excuse “the material was too hard for the children”, compare that to how they teach muslims to forget Allah and accept Kufr such as Jesus is the son of God.
11) The use of Natural disasters : Such as wars, floods, … etc, for example in Sudan they had such things when Sudan had its starvation, muslims had to choose either take food+Kufr, or stay a muslim, but a hungry muslim. It is also sad that the aids that muslims send were distributed by Christians such as the Red Cross and others, these funds were sent by Muslims in the Gulf and the rest of the world for the muslims in Somalia, Sudan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan. It is also sad that all the aid that goes to Bosnia is given by German institutions, what do we expect from these people ? they use they funds and resources to spread their religion and to spread hatred of one muslim towards the other (“the cross comes with food for you, your muslim brothers forgot you”).
12) Making conditions easy for new converts from Islam to Xtianity : These converts are treated by other muslims as a traitor and something shameful, and that is the truth. They also saw that new converts feel left and abandoned, they also do not find full satisfaction with Xtianity. Something i want to mention, a book a looked at “Al-Masi7i Al-Mubashir bayna Al-Muslimeen” (The Christians missionary among muslims). This book was printed in Laghous in Nigeria and was given to all the missionaries in that area, this books explains how the missionary can get the best results of his preaching. It says : ” the Christian missionary must offer a great love for new converts, as well as regular muslims, be nice to him. Learn about Islam not only to distroy muslims belief, but also to understand the similarities between Islam and Xtianity so that YOU START WITH THESE POINTS. Talk to them about Jesus, tell them that he loves them and that he is their Saviour. Do not argue the faith, give them a general idea, a fast answer, even try to make it as a joke. Especially the trinity,or the idea that Jesus is god (Addition from the person typing this article PS:this exactelly is what Xtian missionaries on the Usenet do), logical conclusions and discussions then we will fail, therefore we must ignore the subject or even make it a joke, also use similar things, for example Ibn-Assabell, say that Jesus is Ibn-Assabel” and that is a great lie because these missionaries say that Jesus is son of god not Ibn-Assabel. Some of the advises that are used in that book “avoid discussing the prophet Mohammad (we add Salla Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) and tell them that God will evaluate Mohammad, you don’t evaluate him. Also use the point of freedom of religion, use the verse from Quran that says that.” It is known to muslims that fi a muslim changes religion his punishment is to be killed, the prophet PPOABUH said “if a muslim changes religion then kill him.” Also the book says “Do not try to change the religion of the muslim right away, try to first make them accept Jesus as their lover and Saviour, then you must encourage them to get babtized and declare their new religion.” The book also says “muslim converts must not marry Christians, it has been proven that he may marry another muslim women” but the truth is that in many cases converts into Christianity change back into Islam and their Christian wives change with them too. Christian girls must marry Christian youth.

I am a chinese, I was neither a muslim or a christian but I am now a christian. To me there is no point arguing what forefathers of European or Arabs have done in the pass(eg. force conversion, cruelty, injustice…list goes one) Why bother with someone else’s forefathers had done ? You can argue till the next ice age and to the next, it will not reach any conclusion. What I would like to encourage all is to equipt yourself with the text of both faiths. Spend time to read them and understand them with and open mind.
We should apply sound reasoning and not be bias to quote only part of a text just to make our argument sound good n convincing. What is the point by doing that ? Would God be happy of the person been converted due to a half truth or a lie ? Or would Satan be ? Thanks to “lewis said on 29 October 2006”.
We all know the old testement(Torah) was written by the Israelite of old times. Please do not bring modern day Israel into the picture. That would be clasified under mordern day MiddleEast Politics n Struggle. After which there are books of Phrophets of Israel. The phrophets were specifically called to speak to the people n nation of Israel then. All are the books makes up the Old Testament of the Bible. The Gospels of Jesus Christ together with the recordings of his disciples are the New Testament. 600 years later then came Mohammad(PBUH). Who was told by an angel to resite the parts of verses of the Quran on separate times. After Mohammad’s(PBUH) death, his followers recollect the verses from memory n patchments and consolidate them into Quran. There were problems during the compilation but we will not discuss the matter.
So Judaism, Christianity and Islam do have common root. However, there are differences of text in Quran compared to Torah/Books of the Phrophets and also Bible’s New Testaments. Mordern day Islamic scholars are not able to explain why there are differences of text of in the Torah/Bible. Only explanation for scriptures that are suppose to be the same but now is not connected or pointing at different phrophecies is someone must have altered/corrupted the scriptures. At this point, I would like to ask all to use reason to decide which of the scriptures is right and which is corrupted. If u think one of it is corruptedl, the which part of it is corrupted.
The torah n the bible which have a good linking of characters and story line, written by many authors as compared to Quran, coming from one source claiming the authority of the most high, and of the phrophets from a land hundreds of kilometers away but does not have any linkage to them. Which is corrupt it is up to you to decide, but aways remember, are you making God happy or are you making Satan happy ? The answer ? God will aquire of you when you are presented before Him, after your death. No one can answer on your behalf. Not a priest, iman, reverend, mullah, pastore, sami or politician will be able to answer for you.
