As a Muslim I took everything for granted and never questioned anything until one day in my life when I read a Christians testimony on a Muslim Newsgroup of a former Muslim I accidentally learned the truth.  This was the event that God had reserved for me to shake me and wake me to come out of my shell and find my true creator.

I started to ask questions which I shouldn't have asked, I started to investigate why am I following Islam and what is Islam all about, is it the religion of truth or half truths and lies, a little poison mixed in a drink but nevertheless the drink becomes poisonous which is the ultimate reality.

I learned of Islam to be a religion of rituals with no significance to finding God or knowing God, in fact the God of Islam (Allah) is the monotheism that you have no relationship with or cannot come to know, he is not love or does not know how to love because he does not exist so his punishments and mercy are all false and have no meaning!

My investigations revealed damaging material that I didn't even realize existed, I learned of things that we are not told about openly and this is when I realized that this is not the religion of peace or truth as I thought and it is certainly not the way to heaven but the best way to destruction and hell.

Everything is kept hush hush and under the carpet until you pick the carpet and see all the rubbish for yourself.  The Muslims would like the world to believe that Islam is the best religion in the world and it has the fastest conversion rate but little do they realize that it is the pit of darkness mentioned in the Bible.  They like you to know it's virtues but forget to tell you the prophets sins and how he lived a very unrighteous life having his enemies eliminated one by one through his followers.

Sure it may be the fastest growing religion but then Jesus Christ did say:

 Matthew 7:12-14 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

We can now see why so many people are entering through this wide gate, it is the way to hell and this shows another one of Jesus' prophesies to have come true in our time:

Matthew 7:13-15 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

This shows why Christianity is on a decline and we have all sorts of false teachers abound in churches and all sorts of heresies by people like the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Mormons and of course Islam.

Could God say this about himself???

I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture.

As you can read the above verse from the Bible, Jesus Christ is the gate (heaven's door) for the Believers, whoever enters through him, i.e believes and puts his trust in the Messiah Jesus, he will have a guarantee of life after death, no ifs and buts.

In fact Jesus Christ Claimed that he is the only way to Heaven, no other prophet had this privilege but Jesus Christ was no ordinary person but God who chose to come to earth in human flesh to bear the sins of the world to justify God's righteousness but we will discuss the Son of God and Jesus as God later.

We have to question the following:

Who you follow as Muslims?
What you follow as Muslims?
Why you follow as Muslims?

It's no good saying that I am born into a Muslim family and that is it,  this is the ultimate religion to follow, time and time again you hear this from fellow Muslims.  God gave us intelligence to judge and a freewill to exercise and to know the truth, it's time to come out of the shell mentality and explore the bigger picture.

If a Hindu or a Buddhist was to say the same about his faith then I am afraid he has no choice but to face eternity in separation from God because he does not believe in the one true God or Jesus Christ who came to the world to save the world not to condemn the world.

John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him. He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn't believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.

Muslim people say that we must not question our holy book the Qur'an then I simply ask them why did God give you intelligence and a freewill to judge and know the truth.

How do you separate the wheat from the chaff?

If you don't examine the Qur'an or Bible then how do you know which one is telling the truth?

If he hadn't given you intelligence then he would not be a just God but a dictator, he would force you to pray which he doesn't do, the best gift from God is Freewill.

It's no good saying that God knows the future so he knows who will believe and who will not, so based on this argument God will guide who he will and deceive who he will.

This is not right as God gives you every opportunity to repent and be saved, even up to the last minute of your death.

Muslims unfortunately have a problem with this as how can a person who has disobeyed God all his life suddenly before his death bed accepts Jesus Christ as saviour and lord, repents for his sins genuinely and be saved!

This is absolutely possible with Jesus Christ, repentance with a genuine heart can be forgiven anytime but if that person had to follow good deeds then he has no chance to be saved by the Muslim God Allah as he is on his death bed so how can he do good deeds to please Allah, because he doesn't have the time???

Isaiah 64:6-7 For we are all become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousness are as a polluted garment: and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. There is none who calls on your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of you; for you have hid your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.

Again clear statement in the Bible that your good deeds are nothing more then filthy rags in front of God's holiness, you are saved through his grace by faith but not by works of righteousness, works come after not before.

Think about it for a minute, would a loving God force you to obey his every wish then why give you intelligence and a freewill, he might as well have not created us because angels pray all the time and obey his every command so no need for humans because they choose to disobey God but God out of his pure love still chooses to save us from destruction of the afterlife.

You need to look outside the fatalistic mentality and understand and experience God's love.  He is not miles away as the Qur'an tells you one minute and near your jugular the next, he is not a vicious wrathful and revengeful God who wants to dictate your life.  He is a loving God and he loves you, he wants to build a relationship with you through Jesus Christ Messiah who acts as our high priest and grants us heaven, we are justified through faith in him and his sacrifice to cover our sins.

He offers us heaven, he knocks on your door, you just have to reach out and take his offering of grace, no need for this nonsense good deeds and bad deeds to enter heaven, this is total lies and the only time good deeds and bad deeds are justified is after you are saved you would do them out of love for what God has done for you even though you do not deserve heaven but he gives it on grace.

Once you come to Jesus Christ and obey him then you will have the peace which he gives you and not the peace that the world gives but this is the peace that fills you with the holy spirit who guides you and sanctifies your life.

Now let's see if this view of justification by faith is the Biblical view or my own view:

^{1 Tim 2:5-7}For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times; to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

1 Cor 15:22-23 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ's, at his coming.

Matthew 28:18 Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. 28:19 Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 28:20 teaching them to observe all things which I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

2 Timothy 3:14-16 and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

1 Peter 1-6 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.

So the Muslims tell you that the Bible is corrupt and not the word of God so they can distract your attention from the truth to cover up the Qur'ans short comings and problems + contradictions.

If you believe what the Muslims teachers tell you then the price is no heaven and that will last forever not just a short while or until you receive punishment as the Muslims tell you but forever (eternity).  The price is very heavy for your mistake and there is no comeback.   Muslims think that by saying that the Bible is corrupt they can make it look like Qur'an is the truth but it is full of problems and that does not change as it is a man made book.  If the Qur'an is from heaven then why should it even have one mistake in it but it has dozens, a book contained in stone in heaven identical to it.

Since when did God preach lies?

Contradictions in the Qur'an

How are you going to do it?

By simply accepting Jesus Christ into your life and reading the prayer on this site on the opposite frame and then see how Jesus Christ transforms your life to a more fuller peaceful life.  Jesus Christ was sinless and he lived his life without a blemish, can you claim the same of Muhammad prophet?   Muhammad prophet cannot offer you heaven so don't walk that road which leads to destruction.

Muhammad was not sure if he was going to heaven himself:

The Prophet said, "By Allah, though I am the Apostle of Allah, yet I do not
know what Allah will do to me." Hadith vol. 5, no. 266

Sura 46:9 I don't know what will happen with me or you so how can I tell you if you will go to heaven or not.

It's like frog in the pond syndrome, the frog thinks he is in the sea even though he is in the pond, I mean how does the frog know he is really in the sea until he investigates or looks outwards?

Who you follow?

You follow the Prophet Muhammad who leaded his life righteously and according to God, at least we think he did  but when you look at the historical evidence you find that he did not lead a very righteous life at all but a political life style.

What you follow?

You follow a person who claimed himself a prophet and also claimed to be the last prophet, the seal of the prophets i.e. no one higher then him before or after, it must be remembered he was not a born prophet or did not get the title because of his family lineage was from prophets but rather became a prophet at the age of 40 when he was given the revelation by the Angel Gabriel.

Do you see the problem here, here is a man who claims to be the best prophet of all time and yet he does not talk to God face to face, he has to go through Gabriel which no other prophet had to do.  He can make a lot of claims which don't hold and he did not have a loving relationship with God at all, he did not even know God's real name Yahweh (YHWH) given to Moses at the burning bush but claimed it to be Allah which is not God's unique name, it is not even the translation of Yahweh in Arabic.

Why You follow the Muslim doctrine?

So as to go to heaven ultimately and also at the same time lead our life here on earth righteously and justly according to the prophet Muhammad and the commands given to us by God through him, do good deeds and avoid bad deeds.

Are you serious about good deeds and bad deeds?

Do you seriously think that you can do good deeds and avoid bad deeds all your life or do you think that you can do good deeds and bad deeds and God is just going to let you into heaven by looking the other way about your bad deeds.  He is going to forsake his justice and commandments

There is a serious flaw in this don't you see, when God had declared from the very beginning that his justice requires faith and belief of the Messiah Jesus Christ to come and cleanse us with his sinless blood to cover our sins.  We can't do it for ourselves because we are not sinless and our efforts get us nowhere.

Please don't be fooled by this blind view that Muhammad prophet wants you to believe or else you will face eternity in hell, God's law from the start given to Ibrahim,  Isaac, Jacob and all the rest of the prophets who came was justification by faith through the Messiah Jesus, only Muhammad prophet strolls along and changes God's word.

Remember that God's word does not change, it is eternal and remains forever, this is what God says in the Bible about these people who twist God's word and make it look like it was false, the present day Muslim teachers who tell you that Muhammad is your saviour and other false teachers claiming heaven through works and good deeds only:

 

2 Peter 2:1-4 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.

 

Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.

 

In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

 

For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;

If you are following a leader then you have to be sure that this is the person who is going to deliver you the truth and that his own moral character is sound so you can follow him blindly, you wouldn't want to follow a person who's moral standards are questionable, a prophet is a person of God, he does as God directs him, we all agree with that, we also agree that God is mighty and he does not do anything wrong nor does like his prophets to do bad deeds otherwise it would defeat the object of being a prophet as he is doing things that ordinary people do, we are to obey everything God says.

Muhammad prophet's Moral standards were more then questionable and you know it!
