A MUSLIM MAN PUTS THE POWER OF THE BIBLE AND THE KORAN TO TEST. READ WHAT HAPPENS TO HIM John 4:48 So Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.” He was an ardent follower of Mohammed until he decided to make a challenge to some Christian students at his school. When I was 14 years old, I was studying in a convent school in Pakistan. I belong to a Muslim family. My parents had forced me to learn the Quran by heart when I was seven, and so I did. I had a lot of Christian fellows (or acquaintances) at school. I was surprised to see them studying because I had always considered Christians to be of low profile in the society. I discussed and argued a lot with them about the accuracy of the Quran and rejection of the Bible by Allah in the Holy Quran. I always forced them to accept Islam as the only true religion. Often, my Christian teacher told me not to do so. He said, God may choose you as he chose the Apostle Paulus. I asked him who Paulus was because I knew Muhammad only. THE CHALLENGE One day during our discussion, I challenged the Christians, suggesting that we each burn the others Holy book. They should burn the Quran and I would do the same with the Bible. We agreed: The book which will burn, would be false. The one which will not burn, would have the truth. But the Christians were not ready to do this because they were afraid of the backlash from Islamists if they heard about it. Living in an Islamic country and doing such a thing could lead them to killed. I told them I would do it by myself. With them watching, first, I set the Quran on fire and it burned before our eyes. Then I attempted to do the same with the Bible. As soon as I tried to set the Bible on fire, it struck my chest and I fell to the ground. Smoke surrounded my body. I was burning, not physically, but from an invisible fire. Then suddenly I saw a man with golden hair at my side. He was wrapped in light. He placed his hand on my head and said, You are my son and from now on you will preach the gospel in your nation. Go! Your Lord is with you. The vision continued and I saw a grave stone, which had been removed from the tomb. Mary Magdalene spoke to the gardener who had probably taken the body of the Lord. The gardener was Jesus himself. He kissed the hand of Mary and I woke up. I felt very strong as if someone strikes me, I would not be hurt. REJECTION I went home and I told my parents what had happened, but they did not believe me. They thought the Christians had me under some kind of magic but I told them that everything had happened before my very own eyes and that many people witnessed it. They still did not believe and rejected me as their family member. I went to a church close to my home. I told the priest there all about what had happened. I asked him to give me the Bible and I read about the event I had seen in the vision with Mary Magdalene. That day, February 17, 1985, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. CALLING My family rejected me. I went to various churches and got more knowledge about the Word of God. I also followed many Bible courses and then I went into Christian ministry. Now, after 21 years, I have had the joy of seeing many people come to the Lord and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. Thanks to the Lord, I am now married and have a Christian family. My wife Khalida and I are involved in the work of the Lord and have been able to share the miracles God has been doing in our lives. Even though it is not easy and we face many hardships, we feel like Paul who went through hardships and suffering for the glory of his Savior, Jesus, who Himself suffered during his walk on earth and his time on the cross. Philippians 1:29 For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in Him but also suffer for his sake,
