As Salaam Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,
I was asked this question by a young missionary man in his attempt to understand how it is possible for someone to be Christian, to be born-again, and then abandon it. I paused reflecting back on my youth. After serious thought, I replied, ‘regret’.
Regret.
Prior to that moment, I was a happy church goer and I soaked up everything the pastor said. I did my very best to implement what I was taught in Church on Sundays and what I read in the Bible at night when I was alone. After, I was cautious and critical of some things I learned in Church and the Bible no longer appealed to me. It was at this time that I began to be inclined towards Islam. Alhamdulillah.
It’s impossible to accept Jesus and then leave Christianity, he asserts. The Bible says such and such in such and such place.
I’m accused of lying.
It is possible. Jesus isn’t God. He can’t enter into people’s hearts. The Bible isn’t true.
I asked someone who couldn’t hear me to do the impossible task of coming into my heart. It is little wonder why he didn’t respond.
All praise and thanks belong to Allah alone, Who guided me away from the kufr of Christianity to Iman in Allah.
I Testify to the fact that there is none worthy of worship, except Allah and I testify to the fact that Muhammad is the slave and messenger of Allah.
