But
I
am free to choose any belief I like and nobody can
stop me.
M
. That is true. It’s your choice. “There is no compulsion in
religion.”
C.
Why are Muslims calling other people to accept Islam then?
M.
As the Christians ask the Jews to accept Jesus as the Messiah,
we Muslims ask the Christians as well as Jews, and all of
mankind to accept Muhammed (pbuh) as the “Last and final
Prophet.” Also because our Prophet Muhammed (pbuh
)
said:
“
Convey my message even if it is just one verse of the Holy
Qur’an.”
Furthermore, it is mentioned in
Isaiah, chapter 21:13, “The
burden upon Arabia” which means
the responsibility of the
Muslim Arabs
, (of course of all Muslims now) is to spread the
teachings of Islam. Isaiah mentioned this after he saw in a vision
a chariot of asses and a chariot of camels (21:7) “And he saw a
chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a
chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed.”
The chariot of asses turned out to belong to Jesus (pbuh) who
entered Jerusalem. (John 12:14; Matthew 21:5). The question
arises: Whom then did the chariot of camels belong to?
The
Church is quiet on this question.
The answer is obvious: It
could be none other than Muhammed (pbuh) who came after the
advent of the Jesus (pbuh). Camels are the chief means of
transport of Arabia. If this is not accepted, then for 2,000 years
this prophecy has not been fulfilled.
C
. Your explanation stimulates me to review the Bible more
carefully. I would like to have more discussions with you.
