Revert experience of an aspiring Baptist preacher

We have been sharing the revert experiences of non Muslims with the sole purpose of knowing what is it that convince non Muslims to leave their religion of birth and embrace Islam. It is not at all intended to downplay another religion (s). Each such experience is so mazing that one cannot but commend those who read about Islam, Qur'an and life of Prophet of Islam, Muhammad ﷺ.

Today we share the revert experience of a Baptist preacher who has always been convinced of following a Divine religion with complete authenticity. So much so that one day he came across a Muslim whom he asked what was Islam. After the Muslim explained Islam to him, he just smiled and confided that that Muslim was a CONFUSED Christian. As a devout Christian, his aim has all along to convert Muslims to Christianity, but he was to become Muslim himself instead.

However, his perception about Islam started to change when he received and read a book "Is Bible word of God" by eminent Muslim Scholar and the more he read about it more he wanted to know the historicity of Bible. The more he read the more he believed that he was a CONFUSED Muslim. He was confused about a Catholic Bible and Protectant Bible. And when digging in to the historicity of Bible he came to know that there is not a copy of Bible in Aramaic - or even Hebrew, the languages of land of most of the prophets. Going a little further, there were "authors" of Bible like Paul, John and Luke who "wrote" Bible "about Jesus." And Bible, unlike Qur'an which is only one book of about 600-700 pages, consists of a volume of 60+ books. In Qur'an despite being one book of a few hundred pages, so much is said that confuses someone on non Islamic background as to how concisely and precisely it has been written.

But Qur'an was in Arabic, the language of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and there is only Qur'an, no versions or variations. Unlike Bible which has commandments attributed to Jesus Christ, Qur'an is nothing but direct revelations from God which were conveyed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ by Angel Jibraeel (Gabriel).

As for Jesus, he has been quoted as saying that my God is your God, and Jesus was sure that the Father loved him (John 3:35; John 5:20). He was also sure that God, as a perfect Father, would provide for His needs. And He trusted His Father to take care of him, even after death. So how could then Jesus became God himself? 

We could write the entire interview, but would like our readers to view and listen to the revert experience that led to Islam in a video labeled " "I Tried to Make Muslims Christian" - Towards Eternity" This video shares the inspiring journey of Brother Khalil Meek, who went from aspiring to become a Baptist preacher to embracing Islam after a deep exploration of religious beliefs.:

By sharing such revert experiences, we hope and pray that those still mulling over reversion to Islam to be reassured that their ultimate decision to enter the fold of Islam will ease their heart and take away  the burden they are carrying due to many contradictions contained in other religions.

May Allah (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us have unflinching faith and trust in Divine Wisdom and decisions and should never lament for we do not know that something better has been planned for us by our most caring Lord. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door. 

وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ‏

That is Our duty is only to convey to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.

Reading the Qur'ān should be a daily obligation of a Muslim - Reading it with translation will make it meaningful. But reading its Exegesis / Tafsir will make you understand it fully. It will also help the Muslims to have grasp over social issues and their answers discussed in the Qur'an and other matter related to inter faith so that they are able to discuss issues with non-Muslims with authority based on refences from Qur'an.

A dream tells me to be a Muslim (Revert Experiences)

Each revert experience is unique and mind boggling. We have shared many such experiences before, but the one being shared is different from others. It is the revert experience of Ganiyat Solöye, a Nigerian woman, who saw a dream in which she is been told to be a Muslim.

Ganiyat Solöye, born to a Christian father and a Muslim mother, was always at crossroads as to which religion she should finally adopt.  Such difficult decision making usually erupts when a Muslim woman marries a a Christian. This is something which Qur'an cautions against. While Muslim men may marry a girl from the people of Book, that is Jews or Christians, but women cannot marry a man of any other faith. This is necessary that children normally adopt the faith of their fathers and a Muslim man is in a better position to raise his children in Islam.

Here was exactly the case: The father wanted his children to be Christians, while faith of the mother also influenced her children. Ganiyat Solöye accompanied her father to church and read Bible. But she also went to masjid along with her mother for Islam also attracted her for she found many odd things in Bible like Jesus being son of God or even god himself, or even her father changing another version of Bible from the one previously he gave her.  

And then a dream made her take the ultimate decision of her life to become a Muslim. Please watch the full video of a revert experience below of how Ganiyat Solöye , a Nigerian woman converted to Islam:

The above said revert experience and many more as already shared in our reference page: Embracing Islam: Revert Experiences are simple amazing as how odds and dichotomy in one's previous beliefs and faith ultimately lead them to Islam. May Allah help those still mulling over to cross over to Islam and show them His light of eternal salvation. Ameen

May Allah (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us have unflinching faith and trust in Divine Wisdom and decisions and should never lament for we do not know that something better has been planned for us by our most caring Lord.

The incredibly long and arduous journey to finding Islam (Revert Experiences)

Luck are the born Muslims who did not have to struggle much to understand and follow Islam. But blessed are those non-Muslims who chose a long and arduous journey. Islam did not come their way as a sudden flash of lightning. Though it happened to some reverts that way, but for most of the reverts, the path to finding Islam has been incredibly long, arduous and even at the cost of putting oneself to extreme rigours of living in jungles with monks, living in barns and meeting with people of diverse faith to ultimately find the truth. For this reason, I admire the reverts for their search for truth and their understanding of Islam exceeds that of many born Muslims, including myself.

Such reverts are generally well educated and it is through the wisdom that education inculcated in them that they tried to solve the jigsaw puzzle by picking and arranging pieces of information, cultural, spiritual and religious thoughts, that they finally joined all pieces together and found it was Islam that they have been looking for.

Today, in our series of posts on revert experience, share the incredible journey of Dr Abdallah Rothman to finding Islam. An adventure that takes him through the jungles of Thailand with Buddhist monks to Hindu priests in India and Rastafarians in Jamaica to finally accepting Islam. Being a therapist and expert in healing arts studies, he studied Taoism, Buddhism, Shinto, Christianity, that finally led him to Islam as Islam alone was able to answer all his questions which no other religion of faith could provide him.

Please watch the full video of a revert experience below and see how reading Qur'an melts hearts and lets non-Muslims enter the fold of Islam:

Today, Dr. Abdallah Rothman is the founder of Dar al-Shifaa and co-founder and Executive Director of the International Association of Islamic Psychology, working at the intersection of Islamic spirituality and mental health practice. He currently lectures, leads retreats, trains practitioners, and authors publications on his unique approach to Islamic psychology.

May Allah (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us have unflinching faith and trust in Divine Wisdom and decisions and should never lament for we do not know that something better has been planned for us by our most caring Lord. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.

From praying to different gods, I finally found the real God - an emotional revert experience

Finding the real truth and the True God has been the quest of many around the globe since centuries. People, specially atheists, have often been confused about the existence of God, specially when confused with teachings of God in One and God in Three, or the God in Man and Man in God concepts that abound and a lot many really believe in such concepts.

Yet there are people, many and many more, who are trying to seek the truth about God and Alhamdollilah they are finding answer to their one query: Who is the Real God.

Before I share one such experience, let me confide that the experience is the same which my great grandfather went through in the early 20th century. He lived in the Indian sub continent under the British rule. While the Hindus predominated the followers of other faiths including Muslims, the British had also unleashed an intensive missionary programme to convert the locals to Christianity. Although, Muslim by birth, he was confused with so much of ideas floating around him, my grandfather bolted and went to a segment of Jews in a synagogue (at that time there were many Jews in the Indian sub continent) to find an answer as to who True God is, stayed with them and then moved on to join a Christian missionary group and later a Hindu priest in a mandir. But nothing satisfied him and he finally concluded that Allah is the Real God and all others are false gods. You may read my previous post on my great grandfather from link given herein under:

* My great grandfather's journey through other faiths to know the truth

And while I was listening to the revert experience of Cleon Bismarckham, he sounded like just my great grandfather revealing his unique experience of reversion to Islam. Although he was born in a Christian family, the confusing concept of Trinity made him an atheist. In search of reality, he prayed to different beliefs and even a demon to find the truth. But then truth finally dawned on him and found the truth that Allah is the Real God he has been in search for, and entered fold of Islam. Then he prayed with his whole self to Allah, he prayed to Him intensely, and suddenly the dust from his heart was washed away and the much sought out relief. 

Herein under we share the revert experience of Muhammad Cleon, his new name after reverting to Islam, and see how one finally finds truth in Islam and knows that there is no god but Allah and all myths and concepts are false and misleading:

I hope such revert experiences will enlighten those still in quest of truth and will one day, In Sha Allah (God willing) will find the One True God and His most favoured religion: Islam

May Allah (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us have unflinching faith and trust in Divine Wisdom and decisions and should never lament for we do not know that something better has been planned for us by our most caring Lord. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.

The only positive Fallout of Gaza Genocide: Jewish Reverts

No man has ever been born heartless. It is only that some hearts take time to soften while most hearts crumble to brutality committed against the man and the resultant pain and sufferings that emerge as a fallout of the heart wrenching brutal acts. 

The recent spate of genocidal barbarism by state of Israel against the Palestinians who are striving to find a piece of land for their independent existence has melted many a hearts, even that of the Jews, both within and without Israel. There have been numerous processions taken out by the Jews, specially in the USA, to condemn the barbaric accts of Israel police. Although, the use of force is justified to bring in peace, yet the merciless killing of children, even from point blank range smacks of carrying out gendercide of Palestinians.

It is strange that Jews, who once suffered at the hands of Hitler and were killed en masse, are resorting to the same tactics to carryout ethnic cleansing they themselves still condemn when it befell on them. How long this genocide will continue is uncertain to predict, but one thing is for sure that the amount of barbarism, human sufferings and pain of seeing thousands of children wrapped in coffins with mothers wailing has started to melt the hearts of the Jews - something that never happened before.

Now, while condemning the war crimes of Israel, there are incidents that Jews are reverting to Islam. In fact on the social media, a new term Jewish Reverts is being used to expose the atrocities of Israel and show an extreme reaction by reverting to Islam.

There are numerous videos on the social media (links given below) that show Jews reverting to Islam. Herein under, we one such video that show how genocide of Palestinians in Gaza is melting hearts and letting the Jews in unprecedent numbers enter the fold of Islam:

May Allah (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help the world to stop barbaric killing of the oppressed and weak who are fighting for their independence, specially in Gaza and Indian held Kashmir and melt the hard and merciless hearts to succumb to the wailing of mothers of innocent children being mercilessly slain. Ameen.

The mention of fingerprints in Qur'an led me to Islam (Revert Experiences)

Qur'an, the fourth and last Divine Scripture, is perhaps the easiest Divine religion of all. The six hundred plus pages of Qur'an, as against other books of faith with attached dozens of additional volumes, sums up the guidelines for the mankind to know what Islam is and how to enter into its fold. Putting in the most simple words it is book by our Creator, Allah, addressed to His creations, the mankind. It is this simplistic approach as against of multiple gods, that attracts non-Muslims from around the world to Islam.

I have shared the revert experience of many a non-Muslims, who Alhamdollilah, took their Shahadah previously. And each revert experience has a different start point from which the journey to reversion began. Today, I share an amazing revert experience of a born Catholic who could not come to turns with the notion of many gods and a God with associates. So this Italian sister Federica Tomassi faced with such dilemma, started her inclination towards Islam. Though she had made a mind to embrace Islam, she was still looking for something that could give her the final push into Islam, the most amazing and heartwarming religion, where while reading Qur'an one feels likes if Allah is speaking to its reader in most understandable and simple words. 

Although she read the first few pages of the Qur'an and the second Chapter, Surah 2. Al Baqarah (The Cow), she needed something that could lead her to Islam. While she was already wearing Hijab for it made her felt graceful and holy, she need something that could make her take her ultimate decision to revert to Islam. One day, she randomly opened the Qur'an, a copy of which has been keeping for long, she came to the verses 3-4 of Surah 75. Al Qiyamah (The Doomsday):

"Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?", "Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers." 

The mention of fingerprints in book that was revealed more than 1400 years ago really surprised her. How could someone know of this scientific fact which has only been recently discovered. Naturally no man could say  this on his own fourteen centuries ago. This revelation could only come the Creator who created the universe and His creations.

Herein under watch the video in which sister in Islam Federica Tomassi explains so eloquently her solo journey to Islam. And amazingly, she mentions Tahajjad (the late night voluntary prayer) as something which is the best of all forms of worship.

I do not know whether she would ever come across this post, but I really commend her for literally doing the whole thing of reversion on her own. Perhaps it for such truth seekers that in Qur'an Allah says: It is a book of guidance who have the foresight to find the wisdom in it.  Looks like Allah really chosen her, guided her. Subhan Allah. May after watch this video, other non-Muslims still mulling over to revert to Islam, get encouraged and take their Shahadah, which according to our sister really made her proud and honour to accept Allah as the Only God without any associates and assistants.

May Allah (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us have unflinching faith and trust in Divine Wisdom and decisions and should never lament for we do not know that something better has been planned for us by our most caring Lord. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door. 

وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ‏

It will also help the Muslims to have grasp over social issues and their answers discussed in the Qur'an and other matter related to inter faith so that they are able to discuss issues with non-Muslims with authority based on refences from Qur'an.

How a Christian historian reverted to Islam (Revert Experiences)

Clinging to one's faith has two dimension: Following the faith as taught by the priests, pastors, monks, pandits and imams, and secondly carrying our personal research to know whether what has been taught has been The Truth or otherwise. Generally the second approach much too often forces the researcher to find that what he knew all along was something that was not the truth or was partly true. 

and it is not only Christians, Hindus and Buddhists who find themselves lost when not being adequately told about religion, but some Muslims as well. Just read the following confession of a Muslim who despite being born Muslims grew up knowing nothing about Islam:

I was born as a Muslim but I was raised in an atheist house hold. We didn’t practice religion. My mom was clueless and never let us her kids ask a questions. Later on I found out that she was illiterate and she was not only uneducated but her whole entire family were atheist. When I went to college I decided to take world religion classes. I began to study religions but I fall in love with Islam. I kept studying Prophet Muhammad’s and his family peace be up them.

As for the Christians, generally, it is the Trinity concept which when read in details with its historical perspective that Christians find it based on fragile foundation. And specially when this concept was enacted more than three hundred years of the Crucifixion of the Prophet Eesa (Jesus, may peace be upon him). Besides, there are so many dichotomies in the large number versions of Bible that are generally written ABOUT JESUS and are not Divine Revelations as has been the case of the remaining three Divine Scriptures, namely Psalms, Torah and Qur'an.

In my quest to know more why followers of other faith revert to Islam, I came across a video, as is being shared herein under, which is about a Christian historian who through his quest to know more about Christianity and other faith, found solace in the fold of Islam and reverted.

Please watch the full video of revert experience of Tomas Lloyd Evans, from Wales UK below:

May Allah (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us have unflinching faith and trust in Divine Wisdom and decisions and should never lament for we do not know that something better has been planned for us by our most caring Lord. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.

Revert Experiences: A journey from street crimes to accepting Islam and engaging in Da'wah

Reverting to Islam is one thing that is happening around the world very frequently. Only in the USA 4000-5000 non Muslims are entering the fold of Islam every passing year. The growth is so rapid that many believe that one day the USA will become United States of Islam. 

Today I came across a revert experience of an American revert which was really amazing. A young boy of merely 18 years of age, who had been engaged in a life of street crimes and drugs and had a very uneasy stay in schools. And then suddenly came the life changer and he reverted to Islam. 

Asked in an interview, as my readers will watch below, he listed down four reasons that attracted him to Islam:

• Tawid (faith in One God) as against the faith in three gods of Trinity
• Purity
• Discipline, and
• The Kalima

After reversion to Islam and undertaking intensive studies in knowing more in Islam, he is now engaged full time in Da'wah and inviting non Muslims to Islam. Interestingly, his first conversion was of his friend who was once his partner in his street crimes life. He then persuaded his grandmother to Islam, which she willingly accepted. From then on, there is no ending in his pursuits to extend Da'wah to so many. What a rewarding life: rising above the life of street crime and carrying on the noble cause of Da'wah.

Without wasting anymore time in writing, please watch the full video of reversion to Islam, which is simply so inviting and logical that many may take a cue form his experience and make up their mind to revert to Islam.:

May Allah (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us have unflinching faith and trust in Divine Wisdom and decisions and should never lament for we do not know that something better has been planned for us by our most caring Lord. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door. 

وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ‏ 

(36:17) and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”

That is Our duty is only to convey to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.

Reading the Qur'ān should be a daily obligation of a Muslim - Reading it with translation will make it meaningful. But reading its Exegesis / Tafsir will make you understand it fully. It will also help the Muslims to have grasp over social issues and their answers discussed in the Qur'an and other matter related to inter faith so that they are able to discuss issues with non-Muslims with authority based on refences from Qur'an.

May Allah forgive me if my posts ever imply a piety far greater than I possess. I am most in need of guidance.

Note: When we mention God in our posts, we mean One True God, we call Allah in Islam, with no associates. Allah is the Sole Creator of all things, and that Allah is all-powerful and all-knowing. Allah has no offspring, no race, no gender, no body, and is unaffected by the characteristics of human life.

How the world view Islam as the fastest growing religion

I started writing my blog back in 2018 to know why non Muslims embrace Islam and since my first post, everyday is a new day for me to get an answer to my question. Every single revert experience is so absorbing and meaningful that solidifies my faith in Islam more than yesterday. 

There have been many surveys that have been carried out in the past and are still being carried out to find why Islam is getting a firm foothold in every non Muslim country around the world and why the Muslim population is on the increase in the recent years. Muslims were a billion plus some twenty years ago, but the rapid reversion of non Muslims of every faith has made the Muslim population swell to more than 2.5 billion. Every year, more than 400o-5000 Americans revert to Islam, and the ratio is no less in other non Muslim countries. In Russia alone the Muslim population is around 23 million, despite the ruthless clamping of the Muslims in the communist era. Mind you the growth of Islam is undeterred by the general conception of Islamophobia and considering Muslims as terrorists and illiterate vagabonds. Many around the world believe that by the present growth size of Muslims, Islam will become the dominating religion in the world by year 2050, surpassing Christianity.

One of the amazing find of the surveys is that despite a general hatred for Hijab, the ratio of women embracing Islam is more than the men.  Many interview reveal that women wearing Hijab feel more confident of themselves, more precious that before when they wore revealing clothes and men stared on the bodies rather than finding more about character. The separate identity that Hijab gives to Muslim women is much more valuable to them rather than when they were out there in open, playing in the hands of lust of the men.

Today, I share an exhaustive video on what drives people to embrace Islam - a video that is a must watch for all Muslims and non Muslims, mulling to enter the fold of Islam.  In this video, despite the general prejudice about Islam, non Muslims are forced to confess Islam as the most peaceful religion that answers many a unanswered queries of the non Muslims about all prophets that have lived before the  last of the prophets, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, difference between God and Allah, and the concept of Trinity. In fact Qur'an, the last of the Divine Scripturas after Psalms, Torah and the Bible, talks more about Prophet Eesa (Jesus, peace be upon him) than Bible as some Christians think.

Please take out time and watch the video. If you are running short of time, then don't fast forward it, rather read in short lengths to understand the true growth of Islam around the world.  I for myself feel proud of living in a time when more and more access is available to Islam and people are willingly reading Qur'an, and Hadith / Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and taking Shahadah. Even priests, monks and bishops too are among those who are reverting to Islam, for they know where the truth lies.

I feel happy for being a part of the Da'wah (invitation to Islam) drive by writing about Islam and sharing information, like the one in the above shared video, with firm belief that these efforts will not go waste. And all my posts in my blog will be read over from every corner of the world, and if even one non Muslim takes Shahadah after reading my post, I will say I have achieved my mission to introduce Islam to the world, though my effort is like a drop of water dropped into the ocean of knowledge being shared around the world by scholars, imams and preachers.

May Allah (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us have unflinching faith and trust in Divine Wisdom and decisions and should never lament for we do not know that something better has been planned for us by our most caring Lord. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.

Noble status that Islam grants to women leads a Sikh to Islam (Revert Experiences)

Reading and listening to revert experiences is really soul searching, specially for the born Muslims. These experiences are so unique that one can go on and on listening to the revert experiences of once non Muslims. In fact, to my reckoning, these are far better than reading a book of fiction or any other books for merely passing time.

I have shared a number of revert experiences in my previous posts, yet my quest to know more about reverted Muslims and know why they did take the ultimate decision of their lives to leave behind their previous faith they have been practicing since their childhood and  to accepting Islam. The decision is certainly not easy for the immediate reaction is the detachment of friends and family and almost struggling and braving the world, defending their decision. And when it comes to women, the change over is much harder than men for they enter into a new form of attire which generally raises eye brows of many when out of one's house.

Today we share a revert experience of brave young Sikh woman who inspired by the noble status Islam grants to women in Islam.

Please watch the full video of a revert experience of Haniya Adam and how beautifully she stands by her decision and how confident she feel by being a Muslimah (a Muslim women) - really very impressive and a beacon for those many non Muslims still mulling over to take their ultimate decsion of entering the fold of Islam::

May Allah (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us have unflinching faith and trust in Divine Wisdom and decisions and should never lament for we do not know that something better has been planned for us by our most caring Lord. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.

Interconnection between Qur'an and Bible leads a Bishop to Islam

Truth has always been so powerful that no matter how much effort is applied to suppress it, it remain the truth and one day despite all odds and resistance it comes to forth. The absolute truth is that there is no god(s) but One True God - a truth that all prophets preached since Adam to last of the prophets Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Qur'an, the Divinely revealed book of Islam is the truest Divine Book that pronounces the Oneness of God without any associates and assistants. This testimony alone is sufficient for many to find the truth and embrace Islam.

And this testimony does not only move the hearts of the common non Muslims, but also forces the priests, bishops, monks and all holy men of their own faith to ponder of the truth that Qur'an contains about Oneness of God and enter the fold of Islam.

Today, in our series of posts on Revert Experiences, share the revert experience of a Bishop from Philippines, who found a connection between the two verses of Qur'an and that of John 17:3 and found the reconnection an eye opener to shun the concept of Trinity and embrace Islam. 

Bishop Kleopas Daclan has been one of the most important bishops in the Philippine Orthodox Church. He had served in this Church for over 21 years. He is a scholar who has studied the Bible extensively in three different languages; Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic which is the original language of the Bible. He was considered a Bible expert.

The verses from Qur'an are the 116th and 117th verses form Surah 5. Al Maidah (The Table Spread) as mentioned below. In fact the verses 116-120 are about the Testimony of Jesus on the Day of Judgement about the Christians:

(5:116) And imagine when thereafter Allah will say: 'Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to people: "Take me and my mother for gods beside Allah?"130 and he will answer: "Glory to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right to. Had I said so, You would surely have known it. You know all what is within my mind whereas I do not know what is within Yours. You, indeed You, know fully all that is beyond the reach of human perception.

(5:117) I said to them nothing except what You commanded me, that is: 'Serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord.' I watched over them as long as I remained among them; and when You did recall me, then You Yourself became the Watcher over them. Indeed, You are Witness over everything.

When the Bishop read these two verses, he was suddenly reminded of John 17:3 which said:  Jesus defined eternal life saying, “This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.”

He then read Qur'an extensively to find the truth, until he reached the 112th Surah / Chapter  of Qur'an which very clearly and explicitly define Oneness of God in very simplified manner:

1. Say (O' Muhammad), “He is Allah, (the) One (Ahad - In Arabic Ahad means One).   

2. Allah, the Absolute. 

3. He begets not, nor was He begotten;

4. And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him.”

This clarified Bishop's misconception about Trinity that he has been struggling all along to find an answer for the concept really did not fit the definition of God. Now watch the video below and see how Bishop Kleopas Daclan finally found the truth and reverted to Islam:

Read explanation of above quoted verses of Qur'an:

• Verses 116/117 of Surah 5. Al Maidah (The end of the Part IV)
• Surah 112 Al Ikhlas

This is but one example of holy men of other faiths entering fold of Islam. If you are a non Muslim, think over your reservations over Trinity and find the truth. May Allah help you find the truth. Ameen

May Allah (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us have unflinching faith and trust in Divine Wisdom and decisions and should never lament for we do not know that something better has been planned for us by our most caring Lord. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door. 

وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ‏ 

(36:17) and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”

That is Our duty is only to convey to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.
