This message was sent by one of our Muslim brothers who also is an subscriber to this site. Although he has yet not come to know Jesus, but because of his beautiful heart the Lord has started His work in him. I would like you to read it and also pray for him that the Lord reveals Himself to him and uses him mightily for His Kingdom.
I had committed not to edit his testimony therefore even though my name is spelt wrong I let it be as it is.
Dear Brother Rolwyn,
Assalamalaikum (May the peace and blessings of the Almighty God be on you)
I am a practicing Muslim. Apart from my Quran studies I have also read the Bible in detail and am continuing doing comparative studies of both the books.
First and foremost I would like to inform you that no muslim is a muslim if he or she doesn’t believe in JESUS (peace be upon him). The Quran speaks about Jesus’ miraculous birth, gives us an account of the pious family he belonged to and his ministry on earth. We muslims keep our faith in him as one of the most loved and powerful Prophet of GOD. Well there is lots to say about Jesus (peace be upon him), according to Islamic perspective. We can talk about it some other time.
Also GOD has spoken about Christians in the Quran and he says to the muslims in Chapter 5 and verse 82 “…. And nearest among them in love To the believers wilt thou Find those who say, “We are Christians”, Because amongst these are Men devoted to learning And men who have renounced The world, and they Are not arrogant.”
Today I am writing this mail to share something with you. I am a professional Singer, Composer, Musician and have formed a band with a very dear christian friend. I could see that GOD blessed us and we managed to create a great album with his mercy. We will soon be starting our live shows with his permission. All these years I kept on working in studios and didn’t get time to work out on my health and I put on lot of extra weight. Now that we need to go on live I decided work on my health but I don’t have much time to do that. So I thought that the best way would be to pray to GOD and ask him to help.
One morning I got up and spoke to my mother that I was starting my diet and exercise from that day and am going to the other room to pray before I start the diet. I came to my music room and I prayed inside my heart to Allah to help me and to give me strength to achieve the difficult task as everyone knows that losing weight is not so easy. I prayed and after that I started my work for the day. I start my day in my music room by checking my emails. I had enrolled my self on your website for your daily mails which I read everyday. When I checked my mail I saw this email from you titled “CONTROLLING YOUR DIET”. I was touched as it was the a conformation from GOD the Almighty that my prayers were heard. A day prior to that I had received a mail from you titled “MAINTAINING YOUR BODY IS ALSO A PRIORITY”. Now this cannot be a co-incidence. It was a clear sign from GOD that he is going to support me.
I started my diet which was just a liquid diet for eight days with my walk for 45 minutes. Not once did I feel uneasy or weak, in fact God had filled me with a unique enthusiasm and energy. My Singing Partner and my best friend is a witness to it and we both were amazed at the results. After the liquid diet I continued with another diet for a weak and in 18 days I lost 8 kg which was AMAZING. For me losing weight this way is unique because I was full of energy, my stamina had gone up, I could walk 7,000 meters non-stop and still feel energized, after that i could do cycling and my stretches. Some people might not agree to it but for me this could not happen without GOD’s help. He has strengthened me and has filled me with hope.
I am continuing with my workout and diet and I am sure that I will reach there with GOD’s help and support. I would like to thank you for sending such beautiful mails and I am so glad that GOD sent me a confirmation through you to strengthen me. I could easily relate with it because Quran has already told me about Christian Brothers like you who would be nearest to us in faith.
May the Blessings and Mercy of the Almighty GOD be on you and your family through JESUS CHRIST(pbuh).. Amen.
Regards,
Tauseef.
