Someone asked me why, though I am not a Muslim, I love Islam and respect Muslims. He said it was ‘eye service’. Here is my answer. I am a follower of the Jewish Rabbi who was named Yeshua while on Earth. However, when I study Islam, it has guidelines for everything a person will do from the moment they come out of their mother till the moment they return to Mother Earth....TAP HERE TO READ THE FULL STORY..>>
How to wake, pray, bath, use the toilet, eat, drink and work. Who to marry, when, and why. What to do in sickness and health. Even how to be buried and what becomes of your estate.
In the short span between birth and death, Islam provides guidance without ambiguity. This clarity gives your life stability.
I will follow Yeshua until I die. Yet, I can read the entire Tanakh and Gospels and have direction on many things. But al-Quran and/or the Hadiths give Muslims instructions on the proper way to do something as quotidian as taking a bath or urinate.
Another thing is that, and here there are exceptions to the rule, Muslims tend to respect prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalaam, more than Christians or Jews rever Yeshua (Jesus) or Moses.
You will hear Christians (largely with the exception of Orthodox Christians) call the name Jesus or Jesus Christ when they are angry, irritated, or using profanity, or in any number of casual situations. And some Jews will say things like ‘Holy Moses’ as an exclamation to express surprise, amazement or cluelessness.
Have you ever heard that from a Muslim with the name of their prophet? It is hard to expect others to respect your prophet or Saviour when many of your adherents do not even reverence their names.
In terms of what will happen to you when you leave this world, I do not believe that anybody, living or dead, gave as much clarity as Yeshu’a.
However, on the matter of how to live life on this Earth, I have yet to see a body of inspired literature as detailed and all-encompassing as the Quran.
The issue here is that most Christians and Jews have padlocked their minds against any form of unbiased study of the Quran, and too many Muslims have the same attitude against the Torah and the New Testament.
This failure to understand each other has led to Muslims observing dogmas of different so-called Christian denominations and concluding that those precepts represent what Nabi Isa taught.
On the opposite side, many Jews and Christians have observed the behaviours of extremists and juxtaposed those behaviours on all Muslims.
If you, as a Christian, say you can never study Islam because you reject it, then you are not Christlike.
Yeshua did not accept the Samaritan religion at all. Yet, He was completely aware of all facets of that faith, and we see this in John 4:22:
You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
Additionally, even though Yeshua did not validate the Samaritan faith when asked to define who a good neighbour was, He cited the example of the Samaritan that Christians have nicknamed the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37.
What do we learn from the account of the Good Samaritan? That others can have a religion to which you disagree, yet they can still be good.
If this were not so, then the account of the Good Samaritan would be invalid. By virtue of his religion, he should have been bad. Yet, Yeshua described him as a good neighbour.
Imam Abubakar Abdullahi, who in 2018 saved 262 Christians in Barkin Ladi, Plateau State, when armed herders came to avenge the alleged killings of their people, is a good neighbour. Read Full Details
