I am big fan of Kurds ,very brave ppl especially women , i keenly followed the battle of kobani on twitter.

may you find peace ,faith !

Wow, thank you so much! We are raised by our parents to never let anyone make fun of us, to always do our best and that us being women is not an excuse for anything. Maybe that´s what drives my sisters in Kobani. Thanks once again for your kind words.

In Islam we are required to love Jesus peace be upn him too. We worship only Allah, Our God and the God of Jesus pbuh.
But if u want to go extreme by worshipping him, then thats your choice, your life. Know that paradise is forbidden for those who take gods beside Allah swt. Anyways its your freedom of religion to choose what u want to follow. No compulsion in religion.

I believe that Jesus is God, so I don´t believe in other Gods.

Hi Kurdish,

Truly God has a wonderful plan for you. You are not crazy, I believe that you've seen the truth. Our God is the God love and peace. Jesus is the only Saviour of our soul.

John 14:6
6. Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.

Luke 2:11
11. for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Phil. 3:20
20. For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

Thanks

Thank you so much! I am truly thankful and positively shocked at the response I´m getting from everyone.

Hi there, your post literally brought tears to my eyes with a gentle smile! I am so happy for you that you have found love and peace in our Saviour but sad for you at the same time as I know how lonely it can be to feel you have no one to share your joy with. Know that He will never leave you or forsake you, though everyone else might, He never will! May He bless your path with an abundance of peace, love and joy!

Kind Regards

Thank you for you encouraging words! I feel His love.

Congratulations! Your very right there is more love and forgiveness in Christianity. Keep reading the bible and believe in the son of God who is the only way to heaven.

I am happy to hear you are reading the Bible. Coming to know God and Jesus is the most important and satisfying thing we can do, IMO. (John 17:3)

Hi!
I am not quite sure why I came to this page. I guess I just want to talk. I am a Kurdish girl, I live in Europe. I am 20 something. I was kind of religious as a child, I had a relative who encouraged me to learn to pray and wear the hijab. Though I never wore the hijab I wanted to wear it and I read the Quran and I fasted and prayed when I fasted. My family is not religious AT ALL! In fact my relatives make fun of muslims and Islam a lot, even though everybody is muslim but nobody cares because that´s what we kurds do, we make fun of our religion, it´s not that important to us. A few years ago I started to feel that the religion I was more or less following was not me. I don´t believe in it. I found my closest friend wearing an abaya which she totally detested a few years before and I saw little children wearing long skirts and hijabs more often. I read about Islam again and I read things that christians say about their religion and their God. I was craving love from God, not punishment. Even though there are lots of nice things in the Quran that are beautiful and nice, there are also other things that I don´t agree with. I started reading the Bible about two months ago maybe and I feel at peace for the first time in a very long time.

I am not sure why I´m posting this...I might eventually delete it. But I want to know if I´m crazy or not. I love Jesus and I have no one I can tell....
Well you can tell us and we will listen :) I wish you success in your spiritual journey. I came to Christianity from a different religion as well.

Yes the bible mentions Jesus as God, you just have to look for it. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1) "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)
The Qur'an also calls 'Isa (Jesus) Word of God

So you love Jesus and you call him God.
Jesus use to sleep,eat and go to the toilet.
So you believe in a sleeping God,a eating God and a God that goes to the loo.
Now tell me when Jesus was on the cross his last words was.....
“Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
So you believe in a God that believed in another God or maybe he was talking to himself.
Well if any one talks to himself then thats a sign of crazy or not?
Peace

Congratulations. It was pretty amazing when I felt this myself.

As a person who follows the message of the Gospel as well as the Qur'an I would say that you don't have to choose one over the other, you can choose both. I choose both and I see that both share the same basic message—love. I believe the Qur'an does not 'rule out' the Gospel as many Muslims claim but rather enhances it. I see the Gospel as a message on how I should approach life and my time, and I see the Qur'an as a message of how I should spend life and my time. I should fill my heart with love and spend my time in prayer.

The one thing I would advise strongly against is giving up what good the Qur'an has to offer. I believe Muhammad was a man who was inspired by Christ and lived by Christian values (he felt the same thing as you), but he sought to clarify and enhance certain aspects of the religion. For example, the Qur'an stresses the importance of established prayer—praying daily (salat). This is evident throughout the Qur'an and something the Gospels lack. There's also strong emphasis on fasting.

Check this out:

The Basmala (which Muhammad encourage people to recite before any action) is certainly founded upon Christian values,

"In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate" (AR–RAḤMAN, AR–RAḤIM)

The Qur'an frequently refers to this mercy/compassion/love with the word RAḤMA
RAḤMA is also used within the Aramaic New Testament

Matthew 5:7
Blessed are the merciful (RAḤMA), for they will be shown mercy (RAḤMA).

John 21:15–17
Then when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love (RAḤMA) me more than these do?” He replied, “Yes, Lord, you know I love (RAḤMA) you.” Jesus told him, “Feed my lambs.” Jesus said a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love (RAḤMA) me?” He replied, “Yes, Lord, you know I love (RAḤMA) you.” Jesus told him, “Shepherd my sheep.” Jesus said a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love (RAḤMA) me?” Peter was distressed that Jesus asked him a third time, “Do you love (RAḤMA) me?” and said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love (RAḤMA) you.” Jesus replied, “Feed my sheep."

One can get a true sense of the word RAḤMA by comparing these two verses. The relationship between Peter and Jesus reveals that RAḤMA and its relation to the word for 'womb' RAḤAM has a deeper meaning then just mercy, as in pity. It is more like the bond a mother has with her child. The Qur'an uses this word for the defining characteristic of God and it urges people to show RAḤMA as God has shown it to them. My point with this is that you should consider taking that feeling of Christ with you into Islam as I did because both are worthy of attention, they each deal with different areas of life.

I've yet to meet somebody who would want to go to hell / jehanum ..
.. but pretending that it doesn't exist will certainly not help the cause!

Which hell, can you think of anyone righteous who went to hell ?
According to Scripture righteous Jesus went to hell.
Jesus knew biblical hell existed. The day Jesus died Jesus went to hell - Acts of the Apostles 2:27
Jesus taught only sleep in death - John 11:11-14 - so, while dead in hell, Jesus was in a sleep-like state.
Such an unconscious sleep for death is also taught in the old Hebrew Scriptures such as:
- Psalms 115:17; Psalms 146:4; Daniel 12:2; Daniel 12:13; Ecclesiastes 9:5
So, the Bible's hell is just mankind's temporary stone-cold grave until resurrected out of biblical hell - Revelation 1:18

Once the Jews began mixing with non-Jews they adopted religious-myth theories and philosophies such as a forever burning hell fire.
The King James Bible version translated the word Gehenna into English as hellfire.
Gehenna was simply a garbage pit outside of Jerusalem where things were destroyed and Not kept burning forever.
So, Gehenna is a fitting term for destruction and Not burning.
The wicked will be destroyed forever - Not burnt forever - Psalms 92:7
The Bible only gives us two choices: repent or perish ( be destroyed ) - 2 Peter 3:9

Please continue reading down to John 1:18 because John wrote that: No man has seen God at any time. Didn't people see Jesus ?
John also wrote at 1 John 4:12 that No one has seen God, and Exodus 33:20 says we can Not see God and life.
Didn't people see Jesus and still live ?_______

We know in the beginning was the Word.
According to Psalms 90:2 God is ' before ' the beginning.
Since Jesus is the beginning of the creation by God - Revelation 1:5; Revelation 3:14 - then Jesus was Not before the beginning as God was before the beginning.

At Acts of the Apostles 28:6 B there is the letter ' a ' inserted. The same Greek grammar rule applies at John 1:1.
The KJV translators into English chose to add the ' a ' at Acts and omit the ' a ' at John 1

Please also note who John thinks Jesus is at John 1:34 ( for the record ) John bear record Jesus is the Son
Nathanael believed Jesus to be Son at John 1:49
Peter, speaking for the 12 , said Jesus is Son at John 6:69
Jesus himself answered that he is Son at John 10:36
Martha said Jesus is Son at John 11:27
And compare John 10:29 that Jesus' Father is greater than all, with John 14:28 that Jesus' Father is greater than Jesus.

That´s what draws me to Jesus, he emphasises love. And thank you for your reply, it means a lot.

Good point ^above ^ because Not only did Jesus emphasize love, but in Jesus' NEW commandment Jesus emphasized having ' self-sacrificing love ' as the hallmark or identifying mark of his true genuine followers - John 13:34-35

Hi there, your post literally brought tears to my eyes with a gentle smile! I am so happy for you that you have found love and peace in our Saviour but sad for you at the same time as I know how lonely it can be to feel you have no one to share your joy with. Know that He will never leave you or forsake you, though everyone else might, He never will! May He bless your path with an abundance of peace, love and joy!
Kind Regards

If I may take the liberty to ask, and Not being nosy, I am curious about your circumstances about being lonely. Was that in the past ?
Am I wrong, or is there is No Christian congregation where you are located ?
If there is, doesn't Scripture say Christians are Not to forsake gathering together - Hebrews 10:24-25
So, how can it be lonely to feel you have No one to share your joy with ?
The Christian congregation - Ephesians 5:23 - has Jesus as the head of the congregation so there is No loneliness, etc. there.

Plus of your words , Jesus (pbuh) never said that he will be a Savior

Did Jesus deny he was Savior at John 4:42 B ?

Gospel writer John wrote at 1 John 4:14 as Jesus being Savior.

Gospel writer Luke also wrote Acts of the Apostles 5:31 believing Jesus to be Savior, and at Acts of the Apostles 13:23

the word "Islam" means "submission" to God

Please remember Jesus himself wrote nothing personally down.
John concludes his gospel account stating that Not everything about Jesus is recorded at John 21:25

I don't know if this is of any help: but please notice Luke 3:15 because the first-century people were in ' expectation ' of Messiah (Christ) coming. Because of what Daniel wrote at Daniel 9:24-26 it could be calculated ( 70 weeks of years ) that the first century would be the time for Messiah to appear on the earthly scene. Messiah would be Savior, and Jesus proved to the the Christ or the Anointed One from God. That messianic or savior anointing for Jesus 'started' with Jesus' baptism - Luke 3:21-22
