Why I Left Islam To Follow Jesus by Annunaki(m): 1:27pm On Mar 19, 2016
Former Muslim Nabeel Qureshi explains how his search for the truth about Jesus in scripture led to his conversion.

Contrast is the mother of clarity. So says author Os Guinness, and this principle is what ultimately led me away from Islam and towards the gospel. 

As a young Muslim in the West, our community very intentionally defended me against Christianity, the majority religion. The first verses of the Koran that I and the other young children at our mosque memorised proclaimed that God is neither Father nor Son (based on Surah 112:3).  

Traditions informed us that this teaching makes up a third of the Koran (Sahih Muslim 812), so we recited it every day. By the age of six, I had recited, ‘God is not a Father, God is not a Son’ thousands of times. It is no wonder I became a bold opponent of the Trinity.  

We were also taught that Muhammad was God’s greatest messenger; the most perfect man who ever lived. We learnt the story of his life and did our utmost to follow it. We emulated him to such a degree that we even attempted to walk into   the lavatory the way he did. The reverence we accorded him was barely secondary to our reverence for Allah.

Although Islam teaches that the Bible and the Koran originated from God, we were effectively instructed that they were polar opposites: the Bible has been polluted, the Koran remains pristine; the Bible is partially the word of man, the Koran is purely the word of God; the Bible contains contradictions, the Koran is completely coherent; the Bible leads to confusion, the Koran leads to life.

So, as a young Muslim I ardently called others to the way of Islam. I was certain of its truth. My confidence in Islam translated into zeal for Allah, Muhammad, the Koran and sharia. But contrast is the mother of clarity.

DOUBTING THE KORAN
I met a young Christian named David, and we quickly became firm friends due to our common morals and devotion. The time came when I challenged him on the reliability of the Bible, and I had finally met someone who was equipped to defend his faith.  

Ultimately, he challenged me to contrast the history of the Bible with that of the Koran. It was then that I discovered there had been so much dispute over the Koran early in its history that an official edict established one standard Koran and ordered all the rest destroyed (Sahih Bukhari 6:61:509-510). There was no occasion for the Bible to have been officially altered throughout Christendom, but there was certainly occasion for the Koran to have been modified throughout the House of Islam, and records remain of old variants that testify to former versions.



While discussing the Bible and the Koran, I also challenged David on the divine authority of Jesus. He responded to my points, but he also challenged me to contrast my arguments with a case for the authority of Muhammad. It was then that I realised my standards for criticising the origins of Christianity would raze the foundations of Islam if I applied them consistently.   0

Though I doubted the reliability of the Gospels, written in the lifetime of Jesus’ disciples, the entire edifice of the Sirah (various traditional Muslim biographies of Muhammad) rested on accounts from 150-250 years after his death. The earliest account of Muhammad’s life is only known to us because one devout Muslim preserved it, and he uses no uncertain words to say that what he received contained fabrications and false reports (Ibn Hisham, who edited Ibn Ishaq’s Sirah Rasul Allah).  

By contrast, the case for Jesus’ death, deity and resurrection was very strong, built on early records that were most coherently explained by orthodox Christian positions. It was through this contrast that matters became clear.
 

YOUNG MEN WHO ZEALOUSLY CHAMPION ISLAM REMIND ME OF MY YOUNGER SELF

THE CASE FOR CRUCIFIXION  
While still contemplating these issues as a Muslim, I attended a debate between a Christian called Michael Licona and a Muslim called Shabir Ally on the topic of Jesus’ resurrection. A trend in Ally’s thinking emerged through the course of the debate, and what I saw shook me.  

Multiple ancient sources report Jesus’ death by crucifixion, including Jewish, Gentile, and Christian records. These reports are so numerous and the surrounding circumstances so clear that even atheist and agnostic scholars say Jesus’ crucifixion is among the surest facts of history. But with excessive scepticism, one can deny anything. Ally advanced the koranic view of Jesus: that, despite all the reports, Jesus did not die by crucifixion.  

But what reason is there to stand by the koranic claims about Jesus when all the other records disagree? The Koran was written 600 years after Jesus and 600 miles away. The only reason to believe the Koran is an a priori faith in Islam. That is why only Muslim scholars deny Jesus’ death by crucifixion. Ally was very sceptical with the Christian case but not nearly as critical of the Islamic perspective. No contrast, just one-sided criticism.  

REACHING MUSLIMS TODAY  
That was 2004, and I continue to see the same trend among proselytising Muslims today: constant criticism of Christianity in the face of rather uncritical acceptance of Islam. I see many young men zealously championing Islam, and they remind me endearingly and dishearteningly of my younger self. I see them as sincere, honest, devout young men who usually haven’t seen an equal treatment of these two faiths.

Is there no one to befriend them, as David befriended me? Is anyone praying for them, as David’s church prayed for me? Is anyone loving them as Jesus would, with both compassion and truth?  

Through dialogue, these young men, precious to God, might come to see that the Christian view of Jesus is much earlier, more coherent, and better evidenced than the Muslim view of Jesus. They might come to see that Islam is built on much weaker foundations than Christianity. In turn, they might stop leading people away from Jesus and instead become evangelists for the gospel. It happened to me, and it can happen to them.

God guides he whom he wills to the straight path. Islam is the path of Abraham,Moses, David, Jesus, and Mohammed. They all submitted to the will of God and ascribed no partners with him.
May God forgive us all and guide us to the straight path.

I Left Islam to Follow Jesus
God drew me to the truth—and used a middle school friend to point the way.
Rifqa Bary


I began to silently question Islam when I was twelve. In small ways, I’d been questioning it for a long time, or at least dabbling, fascinated with a God who somehow wasn’t a fist of resistance, indifferent to human emotion, and impossible to please. A God who wasn’t like ours.

I wanted more. I wanted out. I wanted answers. I wanted truth. I wanted freedom in every sense of the word, in any sense of the word: freedom to choose, freedom from pain, freedom from a sterile, hyper-controlling system that dictated my every thought without even caring who I was. I wanted to know that someone, anyone, could hear my cries. I wanted to want, and I wanted someone to listen. And if they didn’t, if they wouldn’t, if I couldn’t get anybody to care, I was done. Done with life.

I meant it.

I was only twelve years old but already torn in half. Alone in my bedroom one night, grasping to survive my suicidal thoughts, I crumpled to the floor, heavy tears smearing my face. A tingle of involuntary shame shot up my back as the cry inside me began to congeal into blasphemy. Yet I pressed into the moment, unable anymore to absorb what my life had become and was becoming. Having nowhere else to go with my thoughts, I stared up toward heaven: “God! If you’re there, if you’re real—please!—stop hiding from me! I don’t care if you’re Allah, Buddha, Jesus—whoever you are—just show me! Because if you are the truth, I will give my life to you. I will follow you—whatever the cost.”

Heaven on Earth

When I got a little older, my parents allowed me to be out of the house a little bit, but only if it involved schoolwork (or later my job). So I lied to my parents one night: “I’m going to study at my friend’s house after school tomorrow.” They didn’t question me, making the deception feel even worse. But I pushed past the queasy feelings as well as the thought of whatever consequences would result if my secret were discovered. I rationalized to myself that it would be worth it. I was invited to church by my friend, Angela, and what she described as “church” sounded worth it.

As the service started and the worship music echoed in my ears, I thought of my own experience of Islamic worship. My mind instantly raced back, remembering a warm breeze coming through the open window of our car as I rode with my father on a summer day. Arabic praise blasted through our radio speakers, recognizable phrases that had been as familiar to me in my childhood as the alphabet. Men chanting “Laaaa illaaha illulaaaaa” (“There is no deity but Allah”) rang through the car. It reminded me of chanting I’d heard as a little girl growing up in Sri Lanka, singing along proudly for my father to hear.

As this memory dissolved, reality yanked me back to Angela’s church, where the united flow of worship filled my ears and thirsty soul with a new sense of guarded delight.

So this is how Christians worship . . .

I felt like I was in heaven.

Jesus Is . . . God?

When the worship music ended, the speaker stepped forward. I wiped my sweaty palms across my jeans, wishing to calm my nerves as I braced for this new part of the service, having finally gotten used to what had been happening up until then. I hung on his every word, listening for something that would truly click, something that would help me make sense of this odyssey, the spiritual trek that had finally led me to this place, to this moment. Somehow I knew he would form a sentence or express a truth that would clear up my questions and lead me to answers.

But it all seemed like a bunch of stray thoughts jumbled together. I couldn’t make sense of anything he said. As someone starting from such a childlike point of inexperience, I had no frame of reference, despite wanting to understand him so badly. How ludicrous it all seemed. And did the speaker just say this man named Jesus . . . is God?

Skepticism kept racing into my mind, even as eagerness fought hard to displace it. Yet the one thing I couldn’t shake, no matter how unintelligible his words, was this: As a child, I had fully given myself to Islam, to Allah. Islam was my life, my family’s life. And despite taking it more seriously than just about anybody I knew, my heart now felt as lifeless as a corpse. Something needed to change. I knew that much to be true.

Perhaps Christianity wasn’t the answer.

But Islam surely wasn’t.

The Moment Everything Changed

The speaker—a man Angela called “pastor”—after wrapping up his short talk, invited anyone who wanted to come forward for prayer. I wasn’t really sure what this meant. Going forward? To pray? And yet as others began slipping out of their seats and edging down toward the front, I strangely felt the tips of my toes aching to join them.

Everything around me seemed to disappear in that moment: Angela and her posse of friends, my own fears and hesitations, the withering stare of my father. This was life and death. Desperate hunger. Was there any truth at that altar? My life depended on what I might find there.

I wanted to go get it and nothing was going to stop me.

It all happened so fast. My mind pushed away all rationality, knowing the shame of what I was contemplating, that it could never be reversed, that I was defying the honor of untold generations in my family line, which would never be the same again. These grave consequences gave way in my mind to a steely determination and a tangible sense that the God of the universe, and maybe even this man called Jesus, truly did love me.

I stepped into the aisle as if drawn by powerful arms, holding me in all my pain and brokenness. His presence was the only power holding me together. I felt like I was breathing pure strength, a sheer sense of confidence that everything would be okay. Any doubts about what I was doing or about Jesus being the truth, all fractured into meaningless piles of vanquished fear as I became engulfed by truth himself. I could no longer deny he was real. I could not deny what I was experiencing.

Finding Freedom

I didn’t even make it to the altar. Right there, in the middle of the aisle, too broken to wait another ten or twelve steps, my knees buckled to the floor.

Taking a deep breath, looking up in exhausted relief, I caught sight of a large cross that hung in prominent view at the front of the sanctuary. I’d seen numerous crosses in my lifetime on buildings, in artwork, hanging around girls’ necks. But I never really knew what it meant.

Until now.

It meant freedom. It meant hope.

It meant forgiveness, joy, and unbreakable promises.

But most of all, it meant something I never dreamed could be true.

It meant unyielding love.

Fatima Rifqa Bary, a native of Sri Lanka, moved with her family to the United States at the age of 8. She secretly converted from Islam to Christianity at age 12. When her family discovered her secret four years later, she ran away from home—and her story made national headlines. Still living in an undisclosed location, Rifqa’s passions are prayer, missions, and people. This article was adapted from Hiding in the Light. © 2015 by Rifqa Bary.

Most pple choose to remain in islam out of fear of islamic vigilante groups who are always ready to carry out violent threats against apostates. It is easy for muslims to apostasize in america where there is religoius freedom and protection for apostates. Americans are even looking for more muslim apostates who can do the job of exposing the evil of islam to the western media, however not inclusive of BBC, CNN and MNBC who have been bought and paid for by the saudi oil money.

Islam is all about arab imperialism, conquering and subjugation of kufar (quran 9:29). No fair game or golden rule in islam.

Myopic reasoning! You guys think that islam starts and end in the north because that is why i perceive there is violence which islam does not support quran 2:256. What of the southwest that does not have such things, why are there still majority muslims there?. You talk of America being tolerant and yet you forgot what happened to muhammed ali when he converted to islam. Lastly, you talk of BBC,CNN being bought over by saudi arabia Now that is a very silly assertion.

It is either you are ignorant about islam or you are deliberately lying to cover-up for your religion\allahh\mohammed. Quran 2:256 was revealed in mecca, when mohammed was weak, and was abrogated and replace with quran 9:29, a verse supposedly revealed in medina when mohammed became strong.

Study the quranic principles of abrogation before making your assertions. Mohammed revelations always come to make things conducive for his selfish interest.

May I ask you something, after the death of mohammed why did allahh stop showing revelation to any other muslim?

The muslims in the southwest are considered fake by the northern muslims. Muslims in the southwest hardly accept or follow the sunnah of the islamic prophet (hiss be upon him). True islam is the sunnah of the islamic prophet which the northern muslims try to emulate.

The sunnah of the prophet means that you can marry a baby as a wife (quran 65:4), you must hate the christians and the jews (quran 5;51), you can sleep with a 9-yr old girl (even if the man is 55 like mohammed did to aisha), you can fight the unbelievers (quran 8:39), you can beat your wife (quran 4:34), etc. Since most yoruba muslims find these acts of your prophet despicable, the northern muslims consider them infidels.

If you are yoruba muslim, you are considered fake and can never lead a muslim prayer in the north. Stop using the yorubas as the ideal muslims. The ideal muslims are the arabs, the tuaregs, the hausas, the fulanis and the pakistanis.

Can you drink the camel urine as recommended by your illiterate prophet?

You are just bombarding me but i will reply one by one Those verses you quoted up there were both revealed in medina so you statement is flawed already. As to your question, the prophet was the one and only person that recieved revelation from God. A question for you too, why has no christain be able to walk on water since jesus died?

Quit saying what you don't know. I schooled in the north and a lot of yoruba people do lead prayers where notherners also pray even the imam of the mosque close to my house is yoruba while the ladan is hausa and besides, are you trying to tell me no notherner has ever prayed in the various mosques in southwest lead by a yoruba man?. Ironically,what you are talking about happens most in christainity where you will see a christain leave the church winners chapel in his frontyard and travel far away to 'his redeemed church' as against the case of a muslim or is jesus present in some and absent in the other?. Don't forget to reply my other post with links or are you still searching for words....lol.

To God be the glory, there is no way one would sincerely study islam as recorded in the quoran and sahih hadiths and not conclude that it's a fake satanic religion and renounce it. Every thing about islam is just so wrong.

Thank God for the crusade army that was raised to stop the evil jihadist onslaught on europe.

Lol i thought it's only islam that is synonymous with violence. Now it's an issue of defense. Your statement shows that you know nothing of the crusade because you would have known that not only muslims were killed but also thousands of jews. Read about 'rhineland massacre'. Excerpt from wikipedia: Enlightenment historians tended to view the Middle Ages in general, and the Crusades in
particular, as the efforts of
barbarian cultures driven by fanaticism.[26] By the early Romantic period in the 19th century, that harsh view of the
Crusades and their era had softened;[27] scholarship later in the century emphasised specialisation and detail.[28] Eighteenth-century
Enlightenment scholars and
modern Western historians have
expressed moral outrage at the
conduct of the crusaders. Steven Runciman wrote during the 1950s, "High ideals were
besmirched by cruelty and greed
... the Holy War was nothing more
than a long act of intolerance in the name of God".[29]

My friend Nnamdi kanu also converted to islam after he found out they buried a live baby beneath his church altar. Liar!! Is it the same ISIS that is responsible for the rapid decline in christianity worldwide? Proof above.

Lol i thought it's only islam that is synonymous with violence. Now it's an issue of defense. Your statement shows that you know nothing of the crusade because you would have known that not only muslims were killed but also thousands of jews. Read about 'rhineland massacre'. Excerpt from wikipedia: Enlightenment historians tended to view the Middle Ages in general, and the Crusades in
particular, as the efforts of
barbarian cultures driven by fanaticism.[26] By the early Romantic period in the 19th century, that harsh view of the
Crusades and their era had softened;[27] scholarship later in the century emphasised specialisation and detail.[28] Eighteenth-century
Enlightenment scholars and
modern Western historians have
expressed moral outrage at the
conduct of the crusaders. Steven Runciman wrote during the 1950s, "High ideals were
besmirched by cruelty and greed
... the Holy War was nothing more
than a long act of intolerance in the name of God".[29]

I am quite aware that the crusaders committed some atrocities in their zeal to exterminate the forces of evil(islam) but the fact remains that they did far more good than harm and thanx to them europe remained out of reach of the marauding islamists. The evil the crusaders did pales in significance to what mohamed and his jihadist did so don't even go there. The pic below should giggle your memory a bit.

each time i see how those Jews where decapitated, and there heads fall down, there wives taken over by high way robbers and there children sold into slavery, and there properties divided among mohamed and his al majiris... I quake with fear and indignation to how people underrate Islam, or classify it as another religion, not knowing it is tears, sorrows and blood.

The meccans side of the story..

You are already telling the truth albeit little by little. Like i said, the crusaders did not only kill muslims but also thousands of jews. Tell me, are jews also evil? Below pic should joggle your memory too.
