Ayesha: Assalamu Ala Man Ittaba'al Huda. (Translation: Peace be upon those who follow the guidance.)

Ayesha: How are you, sister?

Ayesha: Alhamdulillah, Allah has kept me well.

Ayesha: Sister! We, Christians and Muslims, are the children of the same parents, Adam and Eve. There is no distinction between us. However, there is a misunderstanding among us. When we see a Christian, we try to stay away from them, and likewise, many Christians try to stay away from Muslims when they see them. But this is not right. Because it is not written on my forehead that I am a Muslim, nor is it written on yours that you are a Christian. If I cut my body, red blood comes out, and if your body is cut, red blood also comes out. Since there is no difference in the creation of you and me, it shows that there is no difference between the Creator of you and me. That our Creator is one.

Ayesha: No, sister. How can a human made of flesh and blood be the Creator? Tell me, can we create a human like ourselves if we want to? Can we bring peace to the society on our own?

Ayesha:

No, the Christian belief about the crucifixion of Jesus is completely wrong; let me explain the actual events.

Jesus Christ had 12 disciples, or Hawariyyun.

The twelve were:

1. Peter (Saint Peter)
2. Andrew
3. James (brother of John)
4. John
5. Philip
6. Bartholomew
7. Thomas
8. Matthew
9. James (son of Alphaeus)
10. Thaddeus
11. Simon
12. Judas (Iscariot)

Before the ascension (bodily raised up to heaven) of Jesus, Allah informed him:

"Soon you will depart from this world."

This made Jesus (peace be upon him) anxious. He then invited his disciples, the twelve Hawariyyun, to a meal at night and personally served them food.

Afterward, he asked them to pray to Allah to delay his ascension, but during the prayer, all the disciples fell asleep, and so the prayer could not be made.

Instead, Jesus (PBUH) prophesied:

“I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me three times before the rooster crows. One of you will tell my enemies where I am in exchange for a few coins and will take the money given for me.”

After this, everyone went back to their work.

Meanwhile, because Jesus (peace be upon him) had declared interest (usury) forbidden, the Jews were searching to kill him.

They caught a disciple named Simon and said: "You are a follower of Jesus."

But he denied it three times.

In the morning, another disciple named Judas went to the Jews and said: "If I tell you where Jesus is, what will you give me?"

The Jews gave him thirty coins, and in return, he told them where Jesus was.

But before this, Allah had punished Judas by making his face look like Jesus’ face.

So, instead of Jesus, they captured Judas and crucified him. The body remained on the cross for seven days. Meanwhile, Allah took Jesus up to heaven.

The next day, the Jews noticed that Judas, whom they knew, was missing. Then they realized they had not killed Jesus (peace be upon him) but had instead killed one of his disciples, Judas.

Ayesha: Do you know that the religion you follow is not the religion of Isa (PBUH) or Jesus?

Ayesha:

Let me share a brief history with you.

From what we've learned earlier, it was actually Jesus' disciple, Judas, who was crucified. After Jesus (PBUH) was taken up, and Judas was crucified in his place, the remaining eleven disciples held on to the true faith.

However, the Jews, driven by enmity and the instigation of Satan, tried to completely destroy the true religion.

Among them, one of the most prominent was a Jew named Saul. He was a staunch enemy of Jesus and his disciples, and a firm opponent of their teachings.

He particularly tried to discredit the idea of Jesus' ascension and severely persecuted Jesus' followers.

But suddenly, Saul realized that he couldn't suppress Jesus' followers through persecution. So, he resorted to hypocrisy. He pretended to convert to Christianity and changed his name to "Paul".

Meanwhile, after Judas' crucifixion, the group of eleven disciples had a vacancy, which Paul took advantage of, and he became the twelfth disciple by joining the group.

(Luke 22:30, Matthew 10:1-4, Luke 6:13-16)

As someone who had been an enemy, Paul now became a "friend" and managed to change the teachings of Christianity to his own liking.

He altered the principles and teachings to fit his views. Thus, Christianity stopped being the religion of Jesus and became the religion of Paul.

Many Christian scholars have discussed this issue and stated that there was significant conflict between the original followers of Jesus and the followers of Paul.

Eventually, the religion of Jesus faded, and Paul's version triumphed.

Paul even clearly stated that he didn't receive his teachings from anyone, but instead created his own version of the Gospel.

(Timothy 2:8, Galatians 1:11-12)

Ayesha:

The teachings of Jesus:

"If you break the law or the commandments even slightly, you will not enter paradise"

(Matthew 5:17-20, 7:24, 19:16, Luke 18:18)

The teachings of Paul:

"Salvation is through faith alone, and those who follow the law or commandments are cursed"

(Galatians 2:16, Romans 10:10, 3:28)

Sister, from these teachings, it's clear that the current form of Christianity has no real connection with the original teachings of Jesus.

Rather, the Christianity we see today is based on the teachings of Paul.

Ayesha: Sister, do you know about the concept of the Trinity?

Ayesha: Sister, you believe in the three persons of God, but tell me this, if 1+1+1 equals 3, then how can 1+1+1 equal 1 in the Trinity?

Ayesha:

I am giving you a detailed explanation about the Trinity.

According to the Trinity, the "Father" refers to Allah. Jesus is called the "Son of God." Mary (A.S.) is considered the mother of God, and the "Holy Spirit" is described as God's spirit or the one who delivers God's message. This can also be understood as an angel.

In your religion, the Holy Spirit is often symbolized as a dove. However, you won't find anywhere in the Bible where Jesus himself claimed to be God or where people are told to worship him. This teaching primarily comes from Paul.

The idea of the Trinity did not exist in the early stages of Christianity, and it was intentionally established almost 300 years later.

Additionally, one group of Christians, the Protestants—who number about 920 million worldwide—do not believe in the Trinity.

The Qur'an clearly addresses this in Surah An-Nisa, Verse 171:

Ayesha: Sister, do you know how many different groups there are among Christians?

Ayesha:

No, sister. There are hundreds of divisions among Christians. Some worship the statues of Jesus and Mary, while others strongly oppose it.

Let me introduce you to the three main groups of Christians:



1. Catholic Christians:

It originated in the Vatican City, in Rome, Italy.

The place of Judas among the twelve disciples of Jesus was forcibly taken by a Jewish hypocrite, Saint Paul.

Paul is considered the first pope of the Catholic Church.

After Paul, popes were chosen from his descendants, and the pope in Vatican City is considered the sole leader for all Catholics worldwide.

His decisions are binding for all Catholic churches.

Catholics started making statues of Jesus and Mary to worship.

For the first 1000 years, the Catholic Church was entirely under the control of the pope.

---

2. Orthodox or Conservative:

Due to the pope's power, authoritarianism, and distortion of the religion, the Orthodox or conservative movement was born.

They believe that not only the pope but all church leaders should have equal authority.

They also worship statues, but only use them as symbols, not as sources of power.

---

3. Protestant:

Later, due to dissatisfaction with the pope's power and the distortion of the Catholic Church's teachings, especially the creation and worship of statues of Jesus and Mary, the Protestant Reformation movement began.

They believe the Bible is the sole source of authority, not the pope.

They do not believe in the Trinity.

They do not consider Jesus to be the Son of God and do not practice idol worship.

Ayesha:

I hope now you understand that the religion practiced by present-day Christians is not actually the religion of Jesus.

Rather, it is a religion created by the popes for their own purposes, just like what the Hindu kings, rulers, and Brahmins did to Hinduism.

They made the religion according to their own will.

Ayesha: Sister, I have explained to you the concept of the Trinity in Christianity.

The Trinity essentially means three gods combining into one god, which denies the existence of Allah.

These ideas are not correct.

Ayesha:

Yes, sister, of course. I will now present the truth to you from both the Quran and the Bible.

In the Holy Quran, Surah Ikhlas (Chapter 112) states:

1. “Qul Huwallahu Ahad” — Say, He is Allah, the One.

2. “Allahuṣ-Ṣamad” — Allah is the Eternal, Absolute. He neither depends on anyone, nor does anyone depend on Him.

3. “Lam Yalid Wa Lam Yulad” — He neither gives birth nor is He born.

4. “Wa Lam Yakun Lahu Kufuwan Ahad” — And there is none equal to Him.

This clearly establishes the Oneness of Allah, rejecting any concept of partners or equals.

This one Surah (chapter) describes all the qualities of the One true Lord.

The Lord cannot have a son or children.

The same is mentioned in the Bible:


These verses clearly emphasize the Oneness of God, aligning with the teachings of the Quran.

Ayesha: If you enter a church, you will see many statues of Jesus and Mary. However, this practice of idol worship was not present among early Christians.

Do you know about this?

Ayesha: The culture of statues was introduced primarily through Saint Paul and the subsequent generations of Popes.

One of the fundamental reasons why the Protestants broke away from the Roman Catholics was their opposition to the worship of statues of Jesus and Mary, which is against the teachings of the Bible.

The Holy Quran also contains many verses that address these misconceptions among Christians.

For example:

1.

"It is not befitting for Allah to take a son. Glory be to Him! When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is."

[Surah Maryam, 19:35]

2.

"O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion, nor say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah..."

[Surah An-Nisa, 4:171]

3.

"They have certainly disbelieved who say, 'Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary.'"

[Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:17]

4.

"They have disbelieved who say, 'Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary,' while the Messiah himself said, 'O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.'"

[Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:72]

5.

"They have certainly disbelieved who say, 'Allah is the third of three.' And there is no god except one God."

[Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:73]

Regarding Shirk (associating partners with Allah), Allah says in:

Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:72

"Indeed, whoever associates others with Allah, Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire."

These verses clearly emphasize the Oneness of Allah and warn against associating partners with Him, which is a great sin in Islam.

Ayesha: Yes, sister. Your religious scriptures also say the same thing.

In the Bible, it is mentioned:

1. Book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 5, Verse 7–9

"You shall have no other gods besides Me. You shall not make idols for worshipping, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God."

2. Exodus 22:20

"Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the Lord must be destroyed."

These verses emphasize the worship of One God and prohibit idol worship, which aligns with the teachings of Islam.

Ayesha: Not only that, sister. The fact that Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) is the final and universal Prophet is also mentioned in various places in the Bible.

Ayesha: I will explain this to you from several places in the Bible.

1. John 16:12-13

“I have much more to say to you, but you cannot bear it now. However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come.”

Jesus himself instructed to follow the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

2. Book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 18, Verse 18

“I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put My words in His mouth, and He will tell them everything I command Him.”

3. Book of Isaiah, Chapter 29, Verse 12

“The book will be given to the one who is not learned, saying, ‘Read this, please,’ and he will say, ‘I am not learned.’”

We know that the first revelation sent to Muhammad (PBUH) was:

“Read in the name of your Lord who created.”

The Prophet (PBUH) replied:

“I do not know how to read.”

This exact statement was prophesied.

4. Gospel of John, Chapter 14, Verse 16

“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper.”

5. Gospel of John, Chapter 15, Verse 26

“When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, He will testify about Me.”

6. Gospel of John, Chapter 16, Verse 7

“But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.”

Now, the word "Helper" you find in today's Bible is "Paraclete," which is a corruption of the word "Periclyte." The word "Periclyte" means "the one who is praised" or "the praiseworthy." In Arabic, this translates to "Muhammad" (the praised one) or "Ahmad" (the one who praises). Alhamdulillah, both these names belong to Muhammad (PBUH).

Ayesha: Not only that, but if you think deeply, you will realize, sister, that both our and your religious scriptures mention these things in the same way.

Additionally, in Surah Al-A'raf, Ayat 158, Allah says that Muhammad (PBUH) is the Prophet for all people—Hindus, Muslims, and Christians alike:

“Say, 'O mankind, I am the Messenger of Allah to you all.'”

You can learn more from the video below.

Ayesha: You'll be surprised to know that the one you know as Jesus Christ, Hazrat Isa (peace be upon him), is currently in the 4th heaven.

Ayesha: During the Mi'raj (ascension) of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), he met Hazrat Isa (PBUH).

When the Dajjal (Antichrist) appears during the time of the Mahdi (the final Caliph of the Muslims), Hazrat Isa (PBUH) will return to Earth.

However, he will not come as a Prophet but as a follower of Muhammad (PBUH).

It is mentioned in Sahih Muslim and Tirmidhi:

Narrated by Nawwas ibn Sam'an (RA), the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said about Dajjal:

"While Dajjal is causing chaos, Allah will send Hazrat Isa (PBUH) to Earth. He will descend near the white minaret in the eastern part of Damascus, with his hands resting on the shoulders of two angels. The breath of Isa (PBUH) will reach as far as his sight, and any disbeliever touched by his breath will die instantly. He will then chase Dajjal and kill him at the gates of Ludd."

Ayesha: The place called Ludd is located just a few miles away from Tel Aviv, in the modern state of Israel.

Ayesha: Sister, did you know that Isa (PBUH) will return to Earth and destroy the cross?

Ayesha: Hazrat Isa (PBUH), upon his return to Earth as a follower of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), will destroy the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the Jizya tax.

Ayesha: No, he will live on Earth for 40 years.

During that time, everyone in the world will become Muslim.

Finally, he will be buried next to the grave of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

A specific empty space has been reserved beside the Prophet's (PBUH) grave.

On the Day of Judgment, he will be resurrected immediately after the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Ayesha: Alright, do you know about your religious scripture, the Bible, and its different parts?

Ayesha: Allah did not reveal any book named "Bible". This name is a human invention.

The Bible that is currently available is divided into two main parts:

1. Old Testament
2. New Testament

The Old Testament contains stories from Adam (AS) to Musa (AS), written by four Christian scholars—Saint Matthew, Saint Mark, Saint Luke, and Saint John—in their own way.

This is why Jews never accept the Old Testament as their religious scripture. Their religious scripture is the Talmud.

In the New Testament, the same four scholars have recorded the teachings of Isa (AS) in a distorted manner, according to their own interpretations.

Therefore, the current Bible is not the original Injeel (Gospel) mentioned in Islam.

Ayesha: There are many similarities between the Quran and the Bible in some aspects.

The Gospel of Barnabas, which is a version of the Bible, is considered by many Islamic scholars to be 80% consistent with the original Injeel.

However, the Roman Catholic Church has banned the Gospel of Barnabas because if people follow it, the man-made religion created by the Popes will not survive.

Ayesha: Yes. The religious logo of Christians is the cross.

And the logo of Muslims usually includes the crescent moon, star, minaret, etc.

Ayesha: Then you tell me, the logo used in this book—the mosque's dome—is it the logo of Muslims or Christians?

Ayesha: Christians essentially use the Muslim logo and promote the Bible in the name of the Injeel (Gospel), deceiving Muslims.

Ayesha: Looking at the Bible and history, we see that earlier scriptures were not preserved properly, so they became full of mistakes, contradictions, and changes.

Some even disappeared completely.

For example, the Torah is an accepted book in the Bible.

The Ten Commandments of the Torah were written on two stone tablets and kept in a locked ark, as Musa (AS) instructed, and were read every seven years (Deuteronomy 31:10–11).

The Torah was placed beside the ark (Deuteronomy 31:26).

Some Bible experts say the Torah was kept in the ark for safekeeping.

But later, only the two stone tablets were found in the ark; nothing else remained (1 Kings 8:9).

Without proper guidance, the Jewish people turned to idol worship even before the time of Sulaiman (AS) (Judges 2:11–13).

Also, the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar (586 BCE) and the Greek ruler Antiochus IV (175–163 BCE) killed many people and destroyed Jewish religion, temples, and scriptures.

Because of this, the Jews could not preserve the Torah of Musa (AS) to this day.

As for the New Testament, everyone agrees these books are not the true Injeel (Gospel).

Instead, they are biographies of the Prophet filled with mistakes, written by unknown people after Isa (AS), along with letters and sermons by people like Saint Paul.

If someone claims these are divine, they must accept that these unknown writers were prophets or messengers after Jesus.

This means modern Christians follow these people, not Jesus himself.

Ayesha: The Bible, created by humans, is full of errors.

There are over 100 mistakes in the Bible, which can easily be found by searching the internet.

For example:

In 2 Kings 8:26, 2 Chronicles 21:20, and 2 Chronicles 22:1–2, it is written:

King Jehoram dies at the age of 40, and then his younger son Ahaziah becomes king.

When he becomes king, he is 42 years old.

This means the son is two years older than his father.

Can such a mistake-filled statement ever be the word of God?

Ayesha: Additionally, your Bible has different versions like 1st, 2nd, and so on.

Can the word of God have different versions?

Ayesha: The Bible contains the biography of Isa al-Masih (Jesus Christ).

Can someone's biography be the word of Allah?

Ayesha: Do you know that even though you were born sinless, you are considered a sinner by birth?

Ayesha: Adam and Hawwa (Eve, peace be upon them) were the first man and woman. They were in Jannah (Paradise), but Satan deceived Hawwa (AS) into eating the fruit of a forbidden tree.

As a result, Allah became displeased and sent Adam and Hawwa (AS) to two different places on Earth.

This event is called Original Sin in Christian belief.

Ayesha: This idea is completely wrong. Let me explain the correct story to you.

Allah forgave Adam and Hawwa (AS) for their unintentional mistake because they sincerely repented.

After forgiving them, Allah reunited them in the field of Arafat.

To commemorate this historical event of forgiveness, Allah made it obligatory for Hajj pilgrims to gather at Arafat on the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah.

On that day, the prayers of those present at Arafat are accepted, just like the prayers of Adam and Hawwa (AS).

On the other hand, Christians believe that you can commit as many sins as you want, but you won't go to Hell.

If you just believe that Jesus was crucified and he died for your sins, you will go to Heaven!

This is completely baseless.

How can someone bear the sins of another person without being directly or indirectly involved?

Ayesha: The problem is here:

Imagine I kill your parents.

Would you demand punishment for me?

But Jesus has already atoned for my sin.

According to this, I am sinless.

Ayesha: Sister, if you believe in the Bible, you cannot stay in this country.

Ayesha: Jesus himself said:

"I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel."
(Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 15, Verse 24)

He came to Earth only for the Jews, meaning the Israelites, not for all of humanity.

Additionally, it is mentioned:

Matthew 15:24

"I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel."

Matthew 10:5-6

"Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel."

So, if you believe in Jesus, you must go to Israel.

You cannot stay in this country and follow Christianity.

Ayesha: On the other hand, Muhammad (PBUH) was sent for the entire world.

The Holy Quran mentions, addressing Muhammad (PBUH):

"We have sent you (O Prophet) as a mercy for the whole world."
(Surah Al-Anbiya, 21:107)

Ayesha: Sister, if you believe in the Bible, you must take a test.

Ayesha: According to Mark 16:17-18, those who truly believe in Jesus will have these signs:

1. They will drive out demons in Jesus' name.
2. They will speak in new tongues (foreign languages).
3. They will pick up snakes with their hands.
4. They will drink poison, but it will not harm them.
5. They will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.

Can you do these things?

Ayesha: Matthew 17:20 says:

“For truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed and you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Since there is no mountain in front of us, you can at least move this tree from here to there. If you truly follow the Bible, you should be able to do this. Without passing this test, no one can be a true believer of the Bible.

Ayesha: Do you know where your Christmas festival originated from?

Ayesha: No, sister, this information is incorrect. Let me tell you the correct facts. The Greek-Roman idol worshippers, who were called pagans, celebrated Christmas long before the birth of Jesus. At the end of December, they held grand festivals in honor of Saturn, the god of harvest, and Mithra, the sun god. Additionally, the birthday of the sun god Mithra was on December 25th. For this reason, they considered December 25th to be the most sacred day of the year and celebrated Mithra's birthday through nature worship. The Roman popes began celebrating this day following the traditions of the pagans. Finally, about 400 years after Jesus (PBUH) ascended to heaven, the Roman Church officially recognized December 25th as the birthday of Jesus.

Ayesha: There is no documented evidence anywhere that Jesus was born on December 25th. According to the Quranic description of Jesus' birth, ripe dates were present on the trees at the time of his birth. Dates ripen during the summer season. Christian researchers also state that shepherds were grazing sheep outside at night, which generally occurs during warmer seasons. Therefore, many researchers conclude that Jesus was not born during winter. Additionally, Christian researchers agree that for the first 300 years after Jesus, no Christians celebrated his birthday.

Ayesha: Two major symbols of Christmas are the Christmas tree and Santa Claus. Both traditions have roots in ancient pagan customs. Ancient people believed the evergreen fir tree possessed special powers because it survived harsh winters. Over time this tradition evolved into the Christmas tree. During the Middle Ages, some Christian groups even opposed Christmas celebrations because they believed pagan practices had entered Christianity through it.

Ayesha: Christians around the world believe that Santa Claus visits homes and leaves gifts for children. Santa Claus is commonly associated with Saint Nicholas and later cultural traditions that developed in Europe. For more detailed information on this topic, you can watch the video provided below.

Ayesha: Yes, I'll give you information about this festival. Halloween originated from ancient European traditions associated with the end of harvest season and beliefs regarding spirits of the dead. Many historians connect it with ancient Celtic festivals. People used costumes, masks, bonfires, and various customs that later evolved into the modern Halloween celebration. Today, Halloween is celebrated in different ways around the world. However, some Christians reject the festival and do not participate in it because of its historical and religious associations. For more detailed information, you can watch the video below.

Ayesha: Whenever someone has researched Christianity and Islam, the light of Islam has entered their heart. Millions of Christians around the world have recognized the truth of Islam and embraced it.

Ayesha: Such incidents have happened countless times, sister. I will mention a few recent cases of people converting to Islam. If I were to go into detail about all of them, it would fill a thick book.

Ayesha: Sue Watson to Khadija Watson

The famous Christian preacher Sue Watson from California, USA, was a staunch Christian evangelist. While pursuing a PhD in theology, she converted to Islam. After embracing Islam, Sue Watson changed her name to Khadija Watson.

Ayesha: Hilarion Heagy to Abdul Latif

Father Hilarion Heagy, a top priest in the United States, converted to Islam. After accepting Islam, Heagy renamed himself Abdul Latif.

"My conversion to Islam is like coming back to Islam. It feels as though I have returned to my own home."

Ayesha: Sami Fernandez was a Christian priest.

He shared that after completing his university studies, he received training in Christian evangelism. Later, he was assigned to preach in the Muslim-majority regions of southern Philippines.

Regarding this, Sami said:

"To write about Islamic philosophy, I began collecting books on Islam and its Prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him). During my university studies, I learned that to defeat an enemy, you must know everything about them."

As he began to understand Islam, which he initially saw as an "enemy," he became illuminated by the light of Islam.

On this matter, Sami stated:

"If someone wants to truly understand the holy religion of Islam, they cannot rely solely on non-Muslim sources to determine whether it is the true or pure religion. However, a truth-seeking individual can learn the truth by engaging with Muslims and reading their books."

Ayesha: Charles Okawani, a Christian priest from Kenya's Western Province, embraced Islam after beginning to study it in the same way.

He then converted his workplace, the "Ohye Elahi" church, into a mosque.

After converting, Charles Okawani changed his name to Ismail Okawani.

Ayesha: After death, we will all reside in the dark grave, where angels will come to question us. If we do not acknowledge Allah as One and Muhammad (PBUH) as His Messenger, our punishment will begin right in the grave. Those who do not accept Islam as their religion will feel such deep regret on the Day of Judgment that some will bite their hands in despair. The disbelievers will cry out, wishing they had recited the Kalima (declaration of faith) just once, so they wouldn’t be in such a state. On that day, people will see all their good and bad deeds from their worldly life.

Ayesha: Those who did not follow Islam will be thrown into the fire of Hell. When they feel intense thirst in the fire of Hell, they will be given boiling water to drink and thorny fruits to eat, which will tear apart their intestines. Then, they will be healed instantly, only to be punished again. This cycle will continue forever. The disbelievers will never die. However, Muslims who committed sins will suffer for some time and then be allowed to enter Paradise.

Ayesha: Paradise is a gift for humans. It is prepared only for those who follow Islam. In Paradise, there will be endless blessings and rewards beyond human imagination. There will be rivers of milk and rivers of honey. If someone imagines eating the meat of a bird flying in the sky, it will instantly be cooked and served to them. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) will recite Surah Yasin for the people of Paradise, and Allah Himself will recite Surah Ar-Rahman. How beautiful that scene will be!

This is why no religion other than Islam will ever be acceptable. All other religions are man-made, while Islam is the only true religion.

Allah says in the Quran:

“Indeed, the only religion acceptable to Allah is Islam.”
[Surah Al-Imran, 3:19]

“Whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted from them, and in the Hereafter, they will be among the losers.”
[Surah Al-Imran, 3:85]

Ayesha: Do you know what punishment someone might face if they follow the constitution of Pakistan or the British Empire instead of the current constitution of independent Bangladesh?

Ayesha: You’re absolutely right. Similarly, although we accept Adam (AS), Musa (AS), and Isa (AS) as prophets, after the final Prophet, Muhammad (PBUH), came to Earth, no other prophet’s book or way of life can be followed. Until the Day of Judgment, no new religion will be acceptable to Allah. Islam is the final and ultimate religion.

Ayesha: Yes, that’s correct. Muhammad (PBUH) is the Prophet for me, you, and everyone.

Allah says in the Quran:

“Say, [O Muhammad], ‘O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all.’”
[Surah Al-A‘raf, 7:158]

Ayesha: Sister, don’t delay in accepting the truth. Whoever declares the Kalima (declaration of faith) will surely enter Paradise. If you become a Muslim, I gain nothing worldly. I never want my dear friend to suffer in the fire of Hell for billions of years. I want to be in Paradise with my dear friend. Recite the Kalima with me, sister. Accept Islam. This way, you will achieve success in both this life and the Hereafter.

Ayesha: Do you believe that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad (PBUH) is the Messenger of Allah sent for all humanity?

Ayesha: Then repeat after me:

Ashhadu alla ilaha illallah, wahdahu la sharika lahu, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuluh.

Meaning:

“I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone without any partners, and I bear witness that Muhammad (PBUH) is His servant and Messenger.”

Ayesha: Alhamdulillah. From today, you are a Muslim. Your Muslim name is Maryam. You too have the same task, to spread this absolute truth to others.
