‘’Good evening doctor! my name is Rose a telephone operator. As a Christian I believe that Jesus was created by God, and was born through a miracle. one of my friend she is a Muslim, she asked me, she requested me to read the Holy Quran and I got interested in it. And when I read it I found out that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and my question is how Muhammad was born? is it a true miracle also?’

Dr replied!

she does have a good question. she is a Christian, she’s a telephone operator and she knows that Jesus Christ PBUH was created by God, perfectly right! he was born miraculously by God, perfectly right!

when she read the Quran she came to know that Muhammad is the Messenger of God. She asked me how was Muhammad PBUH born.

Muhammad PBUH was born naturally, he had a mother and father. He

was born. actually, he was not born miraculously. But if someone tries to say

that because Jesus Christ PBUH had no father, therefore, is Almighty God and if this is the understanding that Prophet Muhammad PUBH had a mother and father. Jesus Christ had a mother but no father so if that makes him a God then the reply is given in surah al-e-Imran

chapter 3 verse 59

The similitude of Jesus in front of Allah is like Adam. He was created from dust and said ‘be and it was If you say that Jesus is God because he has no father then Adam PBUH is the greater God as he had no mother and no father.

Now she said ‘I can promise you I will continue to read the Holy Quran so that I will learn more.’

Dr said, ‘and we’re waiting for you to come to the religion of peace, sister, and the moment you understand that Islam is the right way of life if you believe in the Quran, immediately should accept it. Accept it that there’s no god but Allah and belief that Jesus is the Messenger of God and Prophet Muhammad PBUH the Messenger of God. If you believe Jesus is a Messenger of God and if you believe in one God who has got no images and you believe Prophet Muhammad the last messenger who was prophesized in the Bible as I mentioned, then you become a Muslim. The moment you believe that God is one and Jesus is the messenger PBUH and Prophet Muhammad is the last messenger, then you submit your will to Almighty God. so do you believe?

The girl replied I do believe that we have only one God. we are all brothers and sisters.

Dr: But do you believe that Jesus is the Messenger of God

The girl: yes

Dr: do you believe Prophet Mohammed is a Messenger of God?

The girl: I’ve come to know when I read the Holy Quran.

Dr: But do you believe it?

The girl: I believe! I will become to believe I will believe and I become to believe I will open my heart to believe what is the Quran is.

Dr: so do you believe that Muhammad is the Messenger of God?

The girl: I’m learning to believe I am accepting.

Dr: it is good that you are accepting, practice comes later on. first, you have to accept. okay!

The girl:I promise you that I will learn it, I will read more about the Quran and I will know the whole truth.

Dr; sister! but when you read and when you believe, you have to accept once, you accept then you put into practice.

so you have to read you have to understand and the moment you realize the truth that Almighty God is one, he has got no images, he’s not begotten, Jesus is the Messenger of God and if you agree that Prophet Muhammad is the Messenger of God, that means in Arabic we say’ Muslim.’ Muslim means a person who submits his will to God. the practice comes, later on. practice means you may have to pray, you may have to fast but one thing is first you have to accept. As said that we are believers, believers mean you believe there’s one God and you submit your will to God then you’re called as a Muslim. Hope you believe in Almighty Allah and do you believe in the prophet Muhammad is the Messenger of God.

The girl: I cannot promise. I will try my very level best.

Dr: yes, you try, and Inshallah we pray to Allah that may He give you guidance!
