- Assalamu alaikum everyone,
On day 5 of Convivencia Mission Malawi, we went to a public place to do open dawah to Christians. We had some very interesting interactions. Please watch and share the footage for details. Most people in Malawi are not Christians because Christianity makes more sense, they are Christians because Muslims are not active in dawah. We urge the Muslims to join us in this noble work and make a real difference. You will see in the footage that public dawah is empowering for the Muslims as well as encouraging for the Christians to think about Islam. For further details, please join our pages. Your dua and support is absolutely necessary for our international dawah work to continue, please donate to uphold the word of Allah: www.gofundme.co...
Mashallah alhamdulah
Mash allah
may Allah subhana, grand you Jannah al Firaud al ´ala. May Allah accept your deeds for His only religion, inshaAllah. Barak Allah feek.-
Marshallah my country
Maa sha Allah! TabaarakaAllah! You brothers are doing such a great job. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reward you all with Jannatal Firdaws, bi'ithniLLAH! Just on a side note. The African brother who asked the first question about who will he pray to, since as a christian, he prays to Jesus and his prayers get answered. The brother doing the dawah answered well maa sha Allah, but I felt like he should have focused his answer more on the fact that Allah is the ultimate provider, the everliving, who doesn't die and who doesn't get overwhelmed by their requests from Him, talk about the importance of patience and trust in Allah in all affairs, e.t.c. That would have probably made an impact on him more. Don't focus too much on the method of dawah used for western people, which in my opinion is mainly by refutations. I don't think the refutation strategy applies in Africa because, first of all they don't know a lot about christainity. What Africans care about is surviving from one day to the next and what they need to know is how do we survive, why were we created, how can we connect with our creator ?. Teach them Tawheed, Iman, Ihsan (that Allah sees them all the time and He is aware of their thoughts and actions), adab (child to parent, husband to wife, community etc). I was born and raised in Africa, so based on my knowledge and experience people become muslims and remain muslims because of their simple knowledge of the fact that Allah is all hearing and seeing, that if they cry their eyes out and pray to Allah to heal them because they don't have the money to go to the hospital, He will grant them shifa'a if He wills, because of their knowledge that Allah does what He wills for reasons best known to Him and that He loves the patient people; those that are patient in times of adversity. These are the things that are important to many Africans from my experience growing up in an African country. This is not in anyway undermining your work. You all are doing a great job. You are my role models and heros and may Allah ease your affairs and the affairs of the entire ummah of Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Mashallah! Alhamdulillah.
Jesus: The Prophet
In Judaism, Jesus (peace be upon him) is denied as the Messiah. This is in stark contrast to Christianity where he is worshipped as a deity, or the son of God. Islam takes the middle ground and acknowledges Jesus as an honourable Prophet and Messenger of God, as well as the Messiah, but Muslims do not worship him - as worship is for God alone who created Jesus and everything that exists.
"(Jesus) said, 'Indeed, I am the slave of Allah (God). He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet.'"Quran 19:30
Miraculous Birth
According to the Quran, the Angel Gabriel was sent to Mary, the noble virgin, in the form of a man, informing her of a child who was to be born miraculously without a father.
"He (Angel Gabriel) said, 'I am only a messenger of your Lord to announce to you the gift of a righteous son.' She said, 'How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?' He said, 'Thus (it will be). Your Lord says, "It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter already decreed." "Quran 19:19-21
Some claim that his miraculous birth is evidence of Jesus' divinity. However, Jesus was not the first to come into existence without a father, as Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) before him had neither a father nor mother. God says:
"The likeness of Jesus before God is as that of Adam; He created him (Adam) from dust, then said to him: 'Be', and he was. This is the truth from your Lord, so be not of the disputers."Quran 3:59-60
If Jesus is worshipped due to having no father, then surely Adam is more deserving of worship since he was created without either parent.
Miracles of Jesus
Jesus was miraculously conceived with no father and also performed great miracles by the will and permission of God. He spoke as a baby in the cradle to defend his mother against the people who accused her of fornication. The Quran also states that Jesus gave life to the dead, cured the leper and the blind - all by the will of God.
The fact that Jesus (peace be upon him) performed miracles does not mean that he was anything more than a humble servant of God. In fact, many Messengers performed miracles, including Noah, Moses and Muhammad (may peace be upon them all) and these miracles only took place by the permission of God, so as to demonstrate the authenticity of the Messenger.
Message of Jesus
The Prophets of the Old Testament such as Abraham, Noah and Jonah never preached that God is part of a Trinity, and did not believe in Jesus as their saviour. Their message was simple: there is one God and He alone deserves your worship. It is not logical for God to send Prophets for thousands of years with the same essential message, only to suddenly change it, claim that He is now a part of a trinity, and to stipulate the belief in the divinity of Jesus to be saved.
The truth is, Jesus preached the same message as all the Prophets in the Old Testament. There is a passage in the Bible that really emphasises this core message. A man came to Jesus and asked, "Which is the first commandment of all?" Jesus answered, "The first of all the commandments is, 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.' "(Mark 12:28-29) So, the greatest commandment, the most important belief according to Jesus, is that God is one. If Jesus was God he would have said, 'I am God, worship me.' Instead, he merely repeated a verse from the Old Testament confirming that God is One.
This aligns with the mission of Jesus, as taught in Islam, where Jesus was sent to the Children of Israel to confirm the message of the past Prophets - to believe in the One True God.
"And when Jesus brought clear proofs, he said, '… Indeed, God - He is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him alone. This is the only Straight Path.' "Quran 43:63-64
As an honourable obedient Messenger of God, Jesus submitted willingly to God's commands. As such, he was a "Muslim" - which refers to anyone that submits to the will and commandments of God.
Jesus in Islam
Jesus was as an honourable Prophet sent by God to call to the worship of God alone. This is evident in the Bible and confirmed by the Quran. The Islamic belief about Jesus explains who the real Jesus was, whilst maintaining the pure belief about God and His complete Greatness, Uniqueness and Perfection.
We invite everyone to look further and investigate Islam. It is not just another religion. It is the same message preached by Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad - may peace be upon all of them. Islam means 'submission to God' and is a natural and complete way of life that encourages one to give due attention to their relationship with God and His creation. Islam teaches that God is the All-Just and All-Merciful and does not need to sacrifice himself to forgive sins nor is anyone "born into sin". God judges everyone based on their own deeds and everyone is accountable for their own actions.
Islam teaches us to love and respect all the Prophets of God, but loving and respecting them does not mean worshipping them because worship is due only to God.
don't cheat my people in Malawi please JESUS CHRIST is Lord ,John 14 vs 6,JESUS CHRIST is the way the truth and life,no one can come to the father except through JESUS CHRIST....don't run away from the question but you it nicely.
You believe in Jesus and in the bible so why you dont believ in the quran and mohammed its the same message that allah sent again so nobody changes it.
Jesus is only a prophet and not a son how does god have a son????
