In perusing Islamic blogs, I came across Dawahmotivation a blog devoted to encouraging Muslims who are motivated in inviting people to Islam (dawah). I’ll go as far to say that due to the teachings of Islam Muslims are highly motivated in sharing their faith. Christians should be just as if not more motivated because we have a message no one else has. That salvation is given through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ to those who believe.

Muslims on the other hand don’t share their faith because they care about people they do it because they’re trying to do good deeds in order to earn Jannah. This is highly important! In Christianity, the teaching of doing good deeds is absolutely part of the faith, but we’re not trying to earn our way to Heaven. On account that Christ has already done the perfect work for us leaves us free to genuinely share the message of salvation through love.

In the original article From Hinduism, then Atheism to Islam a girl went from Hinduism to Atheist then Islam because of conversations between herself and a Muslima. Truthfully speaking she left Hinduism and ended up back in Hinduism, how you may be thinking? Well Islam is not different from Hinduism, in the Qur’ān the largest chapter is devoted to the Cow called Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow).

In the Cow chapter, there’s a verse in which Allah said to hit a dead man with a piece of beef and he will come back from the dead.

This is why Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow) is called the Hindu chapter. Muslims have no guarantee of salvation, ask if they’ll make it to Jannah If they’re honest they’ll answer they don’t know?

Fortunately for anyone who has Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour is guaranteed salvation, we read it in multiple places all throughout the Bible. Therefore, we don’t need to guess we know that we have salvation (1 John 5:13).^[1] Here are the words of Jesus Christ who promises Eternal Life to those who are His.

Of course, Abdools claim the Bible has been “corrupted” even though the Qur’ān makes no mention of the Torah or Injil being corrupted. Additionally, it cannot be corrupted as Muhammad told people to read it (Surah 5:68; 10:94) and we have manuscripts proving that the Bible of Muhammad’s day was the same as the one we have today?

Let’s go with the Muslim argument that the Bible is “corrupted”, this would prove that Allah is a false god who cannot protect his books. It would also mean that Muhammad is a false prophet as he directed people to read the Torah and Injil. And if they want to claim the Torah and Injil are different from the one we have today, the burden of proof is on them to prove this to be the case.

Back to the issue at hand, this poor girl went from Hinduism and became an Atheist and lastly she was deceived into the cult of Islam. Apparently, they had conversations about being covered (Hijab).

I met her 2 years back during my 12th-grade exams. She was my exam partner and she disliked the way I dressed as I was a fully covered Hijabi. She started the conversation by asking if I was forced to be dressed this way and I explained to her why I was willingly covering myself in a certain way and since then she wanted to change the way I was thinking of this and wanted to show me that this is clear oppression for females and I was just being brainwashed by different people around me. We used to have small conversations now and then and slowly I diverted the topic of hijab to God’s existence and Oneness and Alhamdulillah after 1 and a half year-long conversations… She was finally convinced and she called me at night and said she didn’t want to wait anymore and that she wanted to embrace Islam! Alhamdulillah, she took her Shahadah last night

^{From Hinduism, then Atheism to Islam}

To answer the question if women in Islam are forced to wear Hijab the short answer is yes. We don’t say anything here without providing references, here we go:

Here we have the Qur’ān saying that women are to cover themselves so that they will not be abused. I wonder if the Muslima can explain why she would be abused if she didn’t wear a Hijab? She then mentions that she changed the topic to talk about the Oneness of Allah.

Allah himself doesn’t agree with this as he says he’s the best of the creators, saying there are other creators besides himself. This is found in 23:14 Al-Mu’minun.

Allah also said that if he wanted to have children he would take a wife from Us Surah Al-Anbya verse 17. This is a confession from Allah that there are others like him, he’s not the only one as Muslims claim there’s nothing comparable to Allah. But in this verse, Allah is saying he would take a wife from the houris or angels.

This means Allah is not unique and whether Allah has taken a wife or not is not the question, what is the question is he’s saying it’s possible for him to have a son but he would need a wife first. And the “Us” spoken of here are the angels. Let’s confirm this from their own scholars.

Even their scholars agree that Allah is not unique as he could take a wife from the beautiful-eyed houris. This Allah cannot be god because he has limitations, therefore, he cannot be almighty. To prove this point that he’s limited we turn to Surah Al-An’am verse 101.

Allah according to his own words is like any human who needs a partner in order to have children, that means he has limitations just like any human.

Conclusion

What have we learned from this, well this girl who left Hinduism only turn to a cult that also practises the same as the Hindus as Allah said to hit a dead man with beef (heifer) to bring them back to life [2:73]. Christians who are saved by trusting in Jesus Christ are guaranteed salvation [1 John 5:13], unlike Islam where they cannot know if they will make it to Jannah. The Qur’ān confirms the Bible and therefore, the narrative that’s it’s “corrupted” is false [5:68, 10:94]. Women in Islam are forced to wear a Hijab so they are not abused [33:59], and lastly, Allah is not unique as he needs a woman to have children [23:14, 21:17, 6:101].

Once again we don’t hate Muslims, we are here to tell the truth so that Muslims can have their eyes opened to the truth. That Jesus Christ is God and He wants them to be saved by trusting in Him by accepting the historical Crucifixion and Resurrection ^[2] of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. I would love to hear from Dawahmotivation on these very important issues. Let’s see if they will respond to the points made in this post?

Let’s continue to pray for our Muslim friends that they will be saved by trusting in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins.
