Hello, thank you for visiting iERA. How may I help you?
Bilal

Hello. How are you?
Jaime Marcos

Hello, I’m good and you?
Bilal

I’m fine. I watched the YouTube video called “The Prophets in the Bible vs The Qur’an (Thought-Provoking)” that is why I am here.
Jaime Marcos

who were the speakers?
Bilal

from the description it says it was narrated by Abu Ayoub
Jaime Marcos

I will tell you more about Islam
Bilal

Islam is not a new religion, rather it is the same message preached by all earlier prophets such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them all). But God’s final message to mankind was revealed to the last prophet, Muhammad, as a revival of lost teachings of previous prophets and as a reconfirmation of the eternal message.
Bilal

Islam’s main message is to worship the Creator and not the creation, it is pure monotheism. It teaches to submit one’s will to the will of God in order to obtain peace and salvation
Bilal

I was born Roman Catholic and then later any my teenage days I converted to Christianity and at that time when I am learning, it really confusing especially the trinity concept. I really don’t understand it.
Jaime Marcos

When I got to college I stumbled upon to a Youtube video, I think it’s called “Jesus in Islam” and I really get shocked because I didn’t realize that Jesus is important person to Islam.
Jaime Marcos

And then I started to learn more about the similarities of the religion. And this time I really believed that Jesus is not a God but a Prophet and the Messiah. Right now I consider myself as monotheistic Christian.
Jaime Marcos

That’s great that you made that transition to believing in Jesus as a prophet and not God.
Bilal

There are many indications that Jesus was not God such as praying to God, having a different and distinct will than God, not knowing the day of judgement and having human weaknesses which are contrary to God’s nature such as God being eternal while Jesus was finite, God being all knowing while Jesus was lacking in knowledge, God being all powerful while Jesus having human deficiencies like needing water, sleep etc.…
Bilal

Monotheism is the central message of all the prophets and this is how Islam defines God in the Quran
Bilal

Surah IKHLAS 112
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only!
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
He begetteth not, nor is He begotten.
And there is none like unto Him.
Bilal

do you agree with that?
Bilal

Yes. I agree.
Jaime Marcos

that’s great, Islam is easy to understand because it fits your natural predispositon. Our Prophet Muhammad taught us that
Bilal

In the bible only there are proofs that Jesus is not God
Jaime Marcos

“all are born but upon Fitra (as a Muslim). It is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist.” (Sahih Muslim, Book 033, Number 6426)
Bilal

Muslims believe in the same God as the Christians and the Jews, but we consider Him Alone without any sons or partners and we do not give any of His attributes to creation.
Bilal

We also believe in Jesus but we believe in him not as a son of God or one of the trinity but as a great Prophet and Messenger born a miraculous birth without a father to virgin Mary. He never claimed to be the son of God or said that He should be worshipped.
Bilal

Muslims believe that all the revealed books are from God and we are supposed to believe in all of them.
Bilal

We believe in the original Gospel of Jesus, the Torah of Moses and Psalms of David (peace be upon them), but not in the changes and corruptions that came into these books of revelations of God by some later scribes and editors.
Bilal

that I would like to ask about. is the Quran have the fullest story of that said books?
Jaime Marcos

you can read Surah Maryam to learn the true story of Jesus
clearquran.com/019.html
Bilal

OK. I will read it.
Thank you!
Jaime Marcos

What’s your view of Islam?
Bilal

I thinks Islam is a beautiful religion.
Jaime Marcos

But there’s so many misconception because of the media and it’s great to have this kind of platform so you can share how beautiful Islam is.
Jaime Marcos

By the way, is this really a person I am chatting with?
Jaime Marcos

Yes.
What’s your view of Prophet Muhammad?
Bilal

I think he is a great person. But right now I want to focus on my confusion about Jesus.
Jaime Marcos

I want to learn more about him. But I am interested to the last Prophet sent by God.
Jaime Marcos

Jesus was a great messenger and prophet of God that was sent to guide the people of Israel, he was born of the virgin Mary by the miracle of God, he performed many miracles by the permission of God such as healing the blind, walking on water, raising the dead and others, just like the prophets before him that perfomed miracles.
Bilal

He taught people to worship the Creator and not him or anything in the creation, he commanded people to follow the Jewish law and to perfom righteousness. He received revelation in the form of Gospels but they were lost or corrupted by men for personal agendas.
Bilal

The jews wanted to kill him because he was calling them back to the teachings of Moses yet they preferred to follow the Oral Law in the Talmud over the Written Torah, these are the Pharsis specifically, so they conspired with the Romans to try and cruify him but God saved him from such a terrible death and took him into the heavens.
Bilal

He will return as a Muslim in the end times to live a normal life and call Christians to the correct belief, be married, and rule for 40 years out of Jerusalem until he will die a natural death.
Bilal

He will lead the world in defeating the anti-christ
are you with me Jaime?
Bilal

yes. I just went to something.
I watched a movie. The story is all about Jesus from Islamic perspective
Jaime Marcos

i think it was from Iraq.
To me. It’s very fascinating that God saved Jesus.
Jaime Marcos

Is Jesus is in heaven right nwo?
Is Prophet and Messenger a different thing?
Jaime Marcos

I’m sorry I have so many questions hahaha
Jaime Marcos

Yes God won’t let him go through such torture that he doesn’t deserve, the idea of Jesus dying for our sins goes against the bible because it teaches that everyone is responsible for their own sins so the idea that God sends himself to commit suicide to forgive us our sins is complete non-sense therefore God saved Jesus and he is in heaven just like Enoch was saved and is also in heaven
Bilal

I watched the other night about Enoch. He was in heaven when his soul was going to get by an Angel.
Jaime Marcos

So, you think Jesus is still in human form when in heaven?
Jaime Marcos

I’m not sure about that
but I will tell you more about Prophet Muhammad
Bilal

Prophet Muhammad was born from the lineage of Ishmael in Mecca in 570AD. He never worshipped idols or false gods just like Abraham.
Bilal

Prior to his prophethood he was known as the honest and trustworthy amongst his people in Mecca. He received revelation from God via the angel Gabriel at the age of 40 commading him to call the people to worship One God, to perform good deeds, to avoid evil sins and to prepare for the life in the hereafter.
Bilal

He was persecuted for his beliefs and only a few followed him initially. The rulers of Mecca offered to make him king, give him wealth, women or whatever he desired but he told them that if they were to give them the moon in his right hand and the sun in his left, he would not abandon the call of God.
Bilal

He lived a life of mercy and simplicity and never desired the treasures of this world.
Bilal

Prophet Muhammad also performed miracles like the previous prophet by the permission of God such as healing the blind, multiplying food and water, and splitting the moon
Bilal

what do you mean by splitting the moon?
Jaime Marcos

yes it was one of his miracles that was witnessed in India and caused the King of Kerala to become a Muslim
Bilal

you can read more about it here
http://theislamshow
Bilal

from a far land a King witnessed a miracle of Prophet Muhammad. Can I ask how the King from India knew who did it miraculously?
Jaime Marcos

he sent envoys to find out where it came from
but prophet Muhammad’s ultimate miracle was the Quran which is the final revelation from God
Bilal

it has been memorized by millions on Muslims in the past and the present, thus being preserved both orally and by writing
in it, there is commands from God, history, prophecies, moral codes and scientific miracles
Bilal

that’s really a miracle. from what i learned from watching youtube videos is that Quran right now has not been corrupted
Jaime Marcos

yes, it seems you have a lot of love for Islam in your heart, I invite you to become a Muslim on this chat
Bilal

can we do that here? do you think I’m ready?
Jaime Marcos

Yes we can, then we can register you on our free online academy where you can meet other new Muslims
Bilal

what makes you think you’re not ready? This life is short and temporary, we are here for a purpose
Purpose of Life? Quran: 51:56- I did not create the Jinns and the human beings except for the purpose that they should worship Me.
Bilal

We are not created for this world, we are here on this earth to be tested for the hereafter, the ultimate success of life is to avoid hellfire and be admitted into paradise.
Bilal

“Bear in mind that the present life is just a game, a diversion, an attraction, a cause of boasting among you, of rivalry in wealth and children. It is like plants that spring up after the rain: their growth at first delights the sowers, but then you see them wither away, turn yellow, and become stubble…. the life of this world is only an illusory pleasure.” [Quran 57:20]
Bilal

Becoming a Muslim is very simple as it is already in your heart from the time you were born.
Bilal

It is to declare that there is no God worthy of worship except one God alone without partners, and that you believe in all of the messengers that He sent to mankind from Adam to Noah, Moses and Jesus, till the final messenger Muhammad. (They all came with the same message of worshipping God alone), and believe that God, Almighty, sent down Books to guide people (like manuals to help people live a spiritually uplifted life), that God also created the Angels, and also believe in the Day of Judgment (which is the last day where people will be held accountable for their deeds), and finally to believe in God’s Decree (which basically means that God knows all that took place in the past, what will happen in the future, and that He is the one who decrees everything in life) Makes sense? 🙂
Bilal

I knew that someday I’ll embrace Islam. It happened to me by just watching and some researching. And I think it will be ok if I do it now.
Jaime Marcos

That’s great, may God bless you
Bilal

So, I want to be a Muslim
Jaime Marcos

do you agree with the above?
Bilal

God bless you too.
Jaime Marcos

When it comes to acts of worship,
1) Muslims worship God alone without any partners.
2) Pray 5 times a day. This prayer makes us come closer to God on daily basis.
3) We fast one month per year (Ramadan).
4) Pay Charity to the poor (Zakah).
5) and make pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj) once in a life time if we have the financial and physical ability.
Makes sense? 🙂
Bilal

I agree that there is only One God.
I agree with the above.
Jaime Marcos

To become a Muslim, you just need to read, say, and then type this: “I believe that there is no God worthy of worship except Allah alone, and I believe that Muhammad is his final prophet and messenger of God.
Bilal

Also, please read, say, and then type it in Arabic: “Ash-Hadu an La iLaha illal-Lah, Wa Ash-Hadu Anna Muhammadan Rasulullah.”
Bilal

I believe that there is no God worthy of worship except Allah alone, and I believe that Muhammad is his final prophet and messenger of God
Jaime Marcos

Ash-Hadu an La iLaha illal-Lah, Wa Ash-Hadu Anna Muhammadan Rasulullah
Jaime Marcos

God is Great! I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart, YOU ARE NOW A MUSLIM!🙂
Bilal

You should be grateful that Allah has chosen you and given you guidance. It’s a blessing to be a Muslim. I ask Allah almighty to keep you upon the path of all of His prophets, that He guides your steps and that He helps you in all of your life affairs.
Bilal

When someone says these words to become a Muslim , Allah forgives all his previous sins, so he becomes like a baby , free from sins, as he has repented from all his previous sins and corrupt beliefs.
Bilal

Now that you are pure, ask God for whatever good you wish. Do your best to keep your new records with God clean and if you fall into something which God forbade, make sure you turn to Him and ask him for his guidance and forgiveness.
Bilal
