2 | How to witness to an Islamic? | Rom 9:30 | MWLaine | 164348 | ||
lebo, Very problematic. I know that those of Islamic Faith believe that Jesus the Christ was only a prophet, and is not greater than Muhammed. I also have determined that works are very important to those of the Muslim Faith...as in the requirement to Pilgrimmage to Mecca at least once in a Muslims lifetime. My own attempt with an Iranian Muslim, who had become a friend at work, helped me to understand some things about the Muslim world. I know that it is very important to have a friendship/relationship with the Middle-Eastern person to whom you are witnessing. I found that Massoud Banan and I became friends and only then did he open up enough that we could hold deeper conversations concerning religion. Hopefully you realize that the branch of Ibrahim's(Abraham) family tree that was Ishmael is the well from which the Islam Faith springs. Search for and review the site on the internet concerning the Hajj and Mecca to learn a little about their holy sites that surround the event of Hagar taking Ishmael and leaving from Sarah. You will find that a well that sprung up at Ishmaels feet is considered to be part of the Holy site of Mecca. A last word of warning be very cautious about nay saying the oddities of the objects concerning Mecca or the Hajj. Massoud did not like it when I was astounded about the Black Rock in the obelisk in the center of Mecca, and the black room at the top of the tower. I feel it is very Satanic and only laughed slightly which offended Massoud. Avoid any nay-saying comparative assessment between the religions. I stuck later with speaking of my Baptism and the way my life was changing once I had accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour. That seemed to be the best way I could shine the light of God as a simple reflection of what was happening and good in my life. Let God do the rest. I selected a verse in Romans(9:30) which speaks of law and the pursuit of law to obtain salvation as being a stumbling stone. Faith in Jesus Christ begets righteousness and Jesus is the stumbling stone for many who believe that through works they can attain salvation. I believe the Muslim faith is very much about works. |
