From Islam to Christ, a true story. Khalil, A radical Egyptian terrorist changed from a murderous “Saul” to a forgiving “Paul” after Jesus Christ visited him in a soul-penetrating dream. This hater of both Christians and Jews set out to discredit the Bible, but instead, he began to see the trustworthiness of the Word of God and was transformed when Jesus appeared to him in a dream and changed his heart.
It is reported that among African Muslims: “42 percent of the new believers come to Christ through visions, dreams, angelic appearances and hearing God’s voice.”
Humankind can do all it can to discredit the Holy Scriptures, but as it is said in the video “… The Book can never be lost…”. Furthermore, Christ has given us the final proof of His life and resurrection, which is the seal of the Holy Spirit living in our hearts after we accept Jesus as Lord. The evidence of this is a transformed life, such as we see with Khalil.
God is working in the world today as He has always done, in a personal manner, responding to the earnest seeker as he or she cries out to God. In the Bible, God’s manner of dealing with mankind in this, the Church age, is clearly described in the Book of Acts. What you can read about in Acts you will also see in this video. God does not change.
May this video be a great blessing to you!
STUMBLE IT!
It is a wonderful thing to hear that a lost soul was found and cured.
However, I am also terribbly sorry for him, because it is obvious that he was not a Muslim and was unable to understand, interpret and implement the message of the Qur’an when he used to assume he was a Muslim.
The Qur’an is challenging to those lost souls who interpret the Qur’an in the shadow of their own cruelty, ignorant, violent inclination, rejection, etc. with its ayaths in every opportunity.
Hopefully, there is still enough time to understand the message of the Qur’an.

We must remember that mohammed used violence and the sword to convert people. Jesus preached “Convert and live”
mohammed preached “Convert or die”
Yes, the massive contrasts between Christianity and Islam are well demonstrated in this video. What is clearly seen is the change in Khalil’s life after conversion, which is by the work of the Holy Spirit. He converted and received new life. Any evidence of God in his life is clearly lacking prior to his salvation.
I would like to add that although I have never met Khalil, that I have a close friend and associate who has. This amazing video is a true story.
The correct way of understanding the real Islam is to refer to the Holy Quran as the basis for all knowledge and then understanding the Sunnah and Hadith in its light. Anything that cannot be linked back to the Quran cannot be declared an integral part of Islam. We must be very careful when we assume that something is or is not part of Islam. Allah has protected the Holy Book for this very purpose that no matter how much time passes the word of Allah remains pure and provides guidance to those who truly want to submit to his will and stay on course to becoming true Muslims.
The values, injunctions, and the principles enshrined in the Book form the corner stone of the Islamic polity and the limits laid down by it provide the framework within which the laws of the Islamic State may be formulated. These principles, or limits, or framework, are immutable, but the statutes made by the State within these four corners are open to modification and change according to the needs of the times.
The Qur’an is the last of the Divine Books, because Messenger-hood ended with Muhammad. No subsequent human opinion or pronouncement in matters of deen, therefore, can be recognized as authoritative; nor can any man-made law repugnant to the Qur’an be regarded as binding upon the Muslims. The Qur’an is a book of guidance for all mankind and transcends the barriers of time and space. The Islamic State is an instrument for the enforcement of the Laws and Injunctions embodied in the Qur’an.
May Allah guide us and have mercy on us. Ameen.

Thank-you for your comment, Abdul.
You are obviously a sincere believer in Islam, and so I would like to raise certain issues which pertain to your religion.
Firstly, one can have such a strong, sincere belief in a religious system, that one’s whole life can be spent reinforcing it by subjecting everything else, without even first testing that religion against reality. I would like to point out that this will not render it more real or valid. You can believe in a religious system as earnestly as you like, but you can still be sincerely wrong.
The goal of Muslims is to conquer the world for Allah, and then what? For what purpose? If it is for the glory of Allah, does he not have the power or ability do this himself? Why does he need the use of human force to accomplish this goal? Does he not know about the second law of thermodynamics? The world and everything in it is slowly dying. Whoever wants the world can have it. When the Last Day comes, Abdul, whoever is still part of this world spiritually will be forever consumed by the same fire that will destroy the earth (2 Peter 3:7). Does Islam offer you an alternative?
The purpose of Christianity, which is God’s Word as revealed in the Bible, is to glorify God, first and foremost. This also involves the redemption, or salvation of His people, and the restoration of the creation back to the way it was intended. We look forward to being with Him in heaven. God is showing us life beyond this earth. His teaching is spiritual, not carnal or earthly. He reveals to us new things that no man could invent.
Muslims claim that the patriarchs in the Bible were also Muslims. If they were, then believe them, because the Bible is uncorrupted! So many people are being lost to hell, because they don’t believe. Please read Luke Chapter 16, from verse 19. Here the rich man is calling out from hell to Abraham to have someone go his house to warn his brothers of their impending torment. Abraham’s answer to him was:
“they have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.”
“But he [the rich man] said, ‘No Father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!’ But he [Abraham] said to him, “If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.”
You don’t believe in the true Jesus, Isa al-Masih, because you do not believe Moses and the prophets, people you call Muslims! Believe the scriptures!
Jesus even came back from the dead, as that Bible passage above says. The proof is plain for you to see if you choose. You have both Moses and the Prophets, and someone who rose from the dead.
You say in your comment:
“Allah has protected the Holy Book for this very purpose that no matter how much time passes the word of Allah remains pure”.
Do you really believe that, because if you do, then you are saying that the Bible is also pure and uncorrupted. If you then say that the Bible is corrupted and only the Qur’an is the pure revelation, then you are saying that the god of the Qur’an preserved only part of his holy book. Could he not protect the scriptures from the beginning of time – since you say “no matter how much time passes”?
The whole point of this video is that the God of the Bible is real, and He is working today to accomplish His purpose and nothing can stop Him. He does not need the agency of mankind to do His work. Many Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs are encountering Jesus in miraculous ways even before they even meet a Christian.
Abdul, the battle is already won! It was won when Jesus gave His life on the Cross. God is working in the world now and His purpose will be fulfilled. If any human agency is involved in this great work, the Great Commission, it is in obedience to the call of God, received as a privilege.
The God of the Bible does not need force, physical conquest or other efforts of men to accomplish his purpose, because His Word is so powerful. His sword – the weapon of God – is His Word, as given to us in the Bible. Nothing more is needed by God to complete His purpose, except for God Himself to go with His Sword:
“And take .. the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” Ephesians 6:17. Amen.
Secondly, I would like to ask you, when you say you subject everything to the teachings of the Qur’an, where is the evidence showing you that this is a worthwhile undertaking? Where is the authentication for the Qur’an? Have you ever considered that there should be authentication for any religion, especially yours, before it should be taken seriously?
Why should anyone believe the Qur’an over, say, the Book of Mormon? In both cases one man wrote an extension to the Bible, in spite of what it (the Bible) says about adding to the words of God:
“I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this Book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this Book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the Book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this Book.” Revelation 22:18-19.
The authentication of the Bible as the uncorrupted Word of God is staggering. The physical words were not penned by just one man, but by over 40, in 66 books, written over thousands of years. Yet the message is completely integrated, and points to one Person, Jesus Christ, throughout. Each book is part of the same message. Many of these writers did not know each other. This can only happen if there is ultimately One author who is beyond time and space.
Another element of proof that cannot be counterfeited is prophecy. God uses prophecy in the Bible to prove His authorship. Only God, from outside time and space, and being in full control of history, can tell us events hundreds or thousands of years before their fulfillment. There are so many detailed, completely fulfilled prophecies, that the Bible is proved as pure and uncorrupted by history itself.
There are over 100 prophecies about Jesus Christ Himself in the Bible. This is why only God, in the Bible, has the authority to speak of Him! Only the hand that framed and timed His birth, and the Mind that foreknew Him as a physical man from the foundation of the universe has the authority to reveal Him to us, and His testimony is righteous and true. Anything contrary is false.

Hi Abdul
You talk about the Qur’an as a transcendent book and on your website you have “peace” as a value or goal. Really?? Why not compare what the Qur’an and the Bible have to say on this important topic?” There are some 400 such verses with the word peace in the Bible, but only one in the Qur’an. In the Qur’an, we read: ‘But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou also incline towards peace, and trust in God…’ [Surah 8:61]. So let us now lay aside war….We pray God…that these dreams will come true.” Surah 8 is titled “Spoils of War.” Verse 65 says, “O Prophet! Exhort the believers to fight….” Verse 67 says, “It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land.” The only “peace” offered is to those vanquished in jihad (holy war) who surrender to Muslim warriors. “Peace” in Arabic comes from the word salam, which means submission—unlike the Hebrew shalom which means genuine peace among friends (not that which comes with subjugation from jihad!). In the Bible peace is completely different. In the Old Testament peace was attained by two parties in a mutual contract or covenant. In the New Testament we see what true peace is. It was only after Jesus Christ came to reconcile us to God by His sacrificial death that true peace was possible. It took the Son of God’s death to pay the price of the sin of all mankind. Because He is God, eternal and holy, He alone could be our Saviour. In the New Testament book of Romans, chapter 5, verse 1 we read ” ..since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ…” In the book of Colossians, chapter 1:19, 20 we read: ” God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things , whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross.” That is a transcendent truth from a transcendent book!! Do you know that kind of peace? Read for yourself and seek the truth. God rewards those who truly seek Him.
Praying for you to find Him,
Isaac
Hi René and Issac,
I have been encouraged to participate in the debate by your politeness and sincerity. So please allow me to put a few lines as a modest contribution to the above discussion.
I would like you to think about the following questions carefully
1- Did any of the prophets of God in the Bible fight against their enemies?
2- Did any of the prophets of God, according to the Bible, exterminate a whole city, including children, infants, women, animals and trees?
3- Is the God of the Old Testament the same as the God of the New Testament?
4- Are you suggesting that God has somehow changed? – Exalted He.
5 – Is All Fighting evil?
6- How many times did the word fight occur in the Bible/ The Quran?
What I am trying to say is that, the fact that prophet Muhammad (pbuh) fought battles does NOT automatically disqualify him from being a prophet. According to the Bible, it has been done by prophets of God before him.
For a meaningful dialogue between religions, I believe, we need to look much farther into Doctrine, Authenticity, transmission of scriptures, homogeneity of the message of God, and we have to be prepared to listen to each other and read a substantial part of each other’s scriptures and avoid selective quotes.
We need to discuss sacred texts as they are understood by the majority of THEIR followers and not put meanings into their mouths.
Above all, we must have an open mind, a real desire to find the truth, wherever it may be.
I honestly want to hear your views on the “ground rules” of the debate, and if you have any additions/ objections to the ones suggested above.
Allow me also to correct one thing that was said: The word peace in Arabic means just that: Peace. The word ’submission’ translate to ‘Islam’, both words have the same root “Salam” which means :to greet in peace.
Salam
Rasheed
Please correct my spelling of Isaac in my previous comment and accept my apology for the error.
Hello Rasheed,

Forgive me if I don’t respond to your specific questions for a few days. This is such a busy time of year.
Blessings and peace!
Praise the Lord! I, too, am converted from Islam to Jesus. I am so happy to find this website! It was through the love of many witnesses and especially through miracles and the messianic prophecies that Jesus was revealed to me, in 1994. I was born in Pakistan, then moved to Canada. While in University I joined a Bible study and began to witness many miracles. One day God sent me an angel, and comissioned me to be a witness to the Muslims people. Therefore I rejoice in your wonderful work, my heart is glad this day!
Dear brother Kashif,
Thank-you for your encouragement. About your comment, I quote what is written:
“Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
(Luke 15:10 NKJV)
The outcome of the battle is certain, for ‘… its is finished …’ (John 19:30). It is the greatest joy to receive another brother snatched from the jaws of hell.
Do you have a testimony that you would like to share? If so, please use the contact form tab at the top of the page.
Blessings,
René
