Introduction
I have written this book for all Muslims and non-Christians. It is time to return to reason and understand that we all are children of God Almighty, the Creator. We are created in his image; therefore, we all belong to him. It is a duty for every Muslim and non-Muslim to read the Qur’an and know the truth. Fundamentally, only one path leads to God the Father, and the seeking of that path is an individual’s duty. So, this book becomes implicitly an instrument of research to establish the truth for all, and it will affect the lives of a billion persons worldwide. Right now, more than half the world’s population evolves on a false religious path (Muslims and non-Christians almost five billion people), and they are heading straight into a ravine instead of the paradisiacal dwelling of God the Father. My brothers and sisters, children of God, it is the moment to get out of the utopia and reconnect with the truth to avoid the disaster. We all are God Almighty’s children, endowed by the appropriate intelligence to comprehend all the contours of spiritual life to find the path to salvation that is the way to paradise. For the love for his children, God the Father has given us everything free: life, earth, sky, sea, day, night, sun, moon, rain, wind, food, joy, happiness, life, and so on.
Accordingly, we must be grateful to God and be obedient to his Word. I started my journey as a Muslim to reach Christianity today. The individual research I have done in the Qur’an made me discover the truth proclaimed in the Bible. I was convinced that with Muhammad, Islam, and other beliefs, I had no guarantee of escaping hell according to the Qur’an.
But according to the Bible, with Jesus Christ I have the guarantee to be saved from all my sins and have eternal life in heaven after my death. I lost my life through my forefather, Adam, and I found my life through Jesus Christ.
Dear brothers and sisters, God helps us to find the divine truth, which is the way to salvation.
Amen, amen, and amen!
Author’s Note
The Qur’an is the guide and weapon of Muslims. Through the 114 suras and 6,247 verses of the Qur’an, Muslims must follow this guide, this weapon, to overcome their ignorance of the divine truth. This truth will set them free and help them to find the path to heaven. After death, the body remains on earth, and the soul joins God Almighty through a single door to be judged. And everyone, particularly my brother and sister Muslims, must seek and find that single door to save their own souls. Being a suspension of spermatozoon, do not challenge God the Father. Obey his holy Word.
My prayer goes to all people who will read and trust this book. Additionally, I encourage everyone to do their own research on the Qur’an to find the divine truth from God the Father.
CHAPTER 1
My Life and Vision
of Islamic Religion
I was born in Africa to Muslim parents in a Muslim community of West Africa. At the age of six, I started attending a Muslim school to learn the Qur’an and the pillars of Islam (faith, prayer, charity, fasting, and pilgrimage). Being the first son of my family, it was my duty to study the Qur’an and know the rules of Islam to become a proper heir. Every morning I attended the Qur’anic school (madrassa), and there was no delay because my teacher was very severe. I had to know all my lessons impeccably. If not, I was punished by lashing. It was very painful for a six-year-old child. The Arabic language was unknown to me, but I had to learn Arabic or receive the lashes. It was child abuse, but I could not do anything to defend myself. My parents wished me to learn the Arabic language to read the Qur’an, and I had no one to help me. I was forced to undergo the torture of the Qur’anic school.
While at Qur’anic school, my teacher forced all his students to do the domestic chores for him and his wife, including washing their dirty clothes and dishes, and sweeping their house, courtyard, and backyard. Every day we went into the bush to cut dead wood for his wife’s cooking. After the chores, we used to go into town to beg for money as Grebou on behalf of our teacher. Such was the routine.
At the age of seven, my father enrolled me at a French school. It was a great relief for me because the French school was tolerant; there was no whipping. In my new school, I escaped the barbarism, the abuse, and the exploitation of the Qur’anic school.
Countless children in the Muslim world live in these hellish conditions, and such is the real face of the Qur’anic school. In this process, I learned how to do ablution, which is washing the genitals and then the different parts of the body. To do my daily prayer, I had to find the direction of Kaaba (Saudi Arabia) to worship it, as worshipping God was an act of idol worship. My Qur’anic teacher used to tell the young women not to pray during their menstrual periods because they were unclean, so God would not accept their prayers. At the age of seven, I began to fast in the same way as adults. Despite my young age, that is the way the Muslim world operates.
I always asked myself,
– Why has Islam imposed many rituals upon its disciples?
– Why must one do the ablution before the prayer when God cleans a person in the mother’s womb?
– Why do we always pray toward Kaaba, Saudi Arabia, when God is everywhere and nowhere, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent?
– Why should young women not pray during their periods? God gives, and he takes back. You are born and you die, so you must pray to him with all your heart and strength.
– Why do Muslims always say peace and benediction
on the prophet Muhammad when Jesus is the Prince of Peace? In truth, the prophet Muhammad still has not had peace since his death.
– Why circumcise young girls? That is a crime.
– Why is polygamy permitted? It is the sin of adultery.
– Why make the pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia? Worshipping the Kaaba is idolatry.
– Why
