Hello Ross McCallum Jones.Peace unto you and your families.[John
20:26 "...then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the
midst, and said, Peace be unto you."]
As you aware that I am a Muslim, and I am Indian by my birth and
I work and livewith my family in Saudi Arabian Capital city,
Riyadh. Its a pleasure that you considerme as a friend. More so,
its wonderful to note that we can have religious discussion.As a
Muslim I am encouraged by Allah s.w.t to discuss my religion with
you, if youare interested, and the other way around too.
By the way, I was educated in Methodist church school in India
(Hyderabad). Thisgave me a chance to read the Bible, and without
boast I can say that I knew most of
it, about 20 years
back from now and I am still reading it a lot. I do have the
Bible in my heart!!! So Ican say Jesus, peace be unto him with due
respect (PBUH in short), so now you areaware of the Jesus pbuh as
my favorite quote. And mark my words, Jesus pbuh isnot just my
favorite quote, Jesus pbuh is my first love.
I have noted your regret, of the Muslim and Christian fighting
over each other, alsoone thing I noted that you mentioned both
being monotheistic religions (this is forfuture discussion). Yes, I
am fully with you in that stand. Yes, most of the warfare
and the hatred and the killings (the bad list goes on ) are
between the two religionfollowing people today, with all my
heartfelt regrets, its the truth of todays humanbeings. Alas, we
could come to common terms between us in respect to our
beliefs.
Alas, each group would follow the commandment of Allah s.w.t or
at least shunviolence in the name of Allah s.w.t and in line with
what Quran instructs. 16:126. Andif you punish (your enemy, O you
believers in the Oneness of Allh), then punishthem with the like of
that with which you were afflicted. But if you endure
patiently,verily, it is better for As-Sbirin (the patient ones,
etc.).
For once, I never considered Christians as my Rivals or Enemies
as you mentioned.I am at peace with my self first, I dont hate my
self, so I dont hate others, this is myapproach to life. And for
sure, and mark my words, I am not here to convert any ofyou. Its
unto Allah s.w.t to turn hearts. For sure: LET THERE BE NO
COMPULSIONIN RELIGION: FOR TRUTH STANDS OUT DISTINCT FROM ERROR.
Holy Quran2:256. Thereby the matter of conversion rests in our own
sense of reasoning andNOT in the hands of others, for each of us.
As a Muslim I submit to my God theONLY God of the Universe.
All praises to the God that made this universe, all praises to
the God thatMADE Jesus Christ pbuh Amen.
. I will be happy to clarify any doubts from my Christian
friends in particular and all others in general.

Yes, you are welcome to ask questions on Islam and I shall make
honest attempt toanswer them without any prejudice and with an open
mind and heart. Please notethat I may be quoting the Quran and the
Bible to support my claims, answers or
observation, you are most welcome to do the same, if you like
to. And before I letyou free to ask question I would like to tie
you down with: "Whatsoever thing I command you,observe to do it;
and thou shaltnot add thereto, nor diminish from it." Deuteronomy
12:32. Else, wedend-up in misconception and more distrust for each
other, I shall stick to that Duet12:32 too.
The answer to your last question, as to why that favorite quote
is made clear in thismail in the first paragraph, more over, as a
reminder, Luke 10:5 "And into whatsoever houseye enter, first say,
Peace be to this house."So now you have a clear answer to your
question.
Now, the questionnaire shall start from your side, I will try to
minimize my questionson Christianity or mostly I may reply without
a question for you at all cheers to that.One thing for sure, the
followers the lovers of Jesus, seldom wish peace to eachothers as I
noted. But note that Muslims allover the world say that whenever
theymeet each others, without fails Salaam Alaikum meaning peace be
unto you.
So, regarding your invitation to discuss, compare, question,
argue fairly I acceptthe invitation, because Allah instructs me to
do that. Quran 16:125. Invite (mankind,O Muhammad SAW) to the Way
of your Lord (i.e. Islm) with wisdom (i.e. with theDivine
Inspiration and the Qur'n) and fair preaching, and argue with them
in a way
that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray
from His Path, andHe is the Best Aware of those who are guided.
So lets do it in Good faith and fairly manner.
Your Friend
