Why convert to Islam when you can be a Christian?

Person holding head and thinking about a question.

1. Why convert to Islam when Islam does not affirm Jesus’ death on the cross?

  • The Muslim denial of Jesus’ death on the cross is a denial of history and therefore irrational.
  • Muslim denial of Jesus’ death on the cross is a denial of God’s work in history and therefore ungodly.

If you convert to Islam you will die in your sins (John 8:24). If you believe in Jesus you will be set free from the power and penalty of sin (John 8:34-36).

2. Why convert to Islam when the Quran contradicts previous revelation?

Muslims say the New Testament is corrupted because the Quran says Jesus was given a book (Injeel) from heaven (Qur’an 5:46-47; 57:27). No such book (Injeel) was ever given to Jesus or His followers.1

3. Why convert to Islam since it cannot be demonstrated that the angel Gabriel revealed the Quran to Muhammad?

4. Why convert to Islam seeing that some of Muhammad’s marriages were sinful?

5. Why convert to Islam when Muhammad admitted he was a sinner in need of God’s forgiveness?

Muhammad was a sinner (Quran 48:2), and reportedly said he was a sinner in need of forgiveness:

Sahih Muslim Book 035, Number 6523:
Al-Agharr al-Muzani who was from amongst the Companions of Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) reported that Ibn ‘Umar stated to him that Allah’s Messenger (may peace ‘be upon him) said: O people, seek repentance from Allah. Verily, I seek repentance from Him a hundred times a day.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 8, Book 75, Number 319:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah’s Apostle saying.” By Allah! I ask for forgiveness from Allah and turn to Him in repentance more than seventy times a day.”

The story of the Bible is about how another must die for our sins. This was the purpose of the sacrificial system. Islam denies the Mosaic Covenant (Exodus 24:5-8) and the New Covenant in Jesus’ blood (Matthew 26:27-28)  for a fictional covenant.

6. Why convert to Islam since Jesus never sinned?

Not only did Jesus live a sinless life, but Jesus forgave sin (Mark 2:5).

7. Why convert to Islam when Jesus perfectly exemplified love, and Muhammad did not?

  • Jesus commanded His disciples to love their enemies (Matthew 5:43-48).
    Image of a man standing in the middle of question marks. He is holding up his hand to answer a question.
    Answer: Jesus is why you should not convert to Islam and why you should convert to Christianity.
  • Jesus’ not only taught about love, He demonstrated love.  Jesus willingly laid down His life for His enemies: Jews and non-Jews (John 3:16; Romans 5:8,10).

8. Why convert to Islam since Muhammad is dead and buried, and Jesus’ tomb is empty?

You should convert to Christianity because Jesus lives.  Jesus is the way to eternal life.  Jesus has overcome death.

An image of an empty tomb with the words of 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 next to it, "Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, "

  1. Islam is unable to give historical explanation for the Injeel and how Jesus’ disciples, mistakenly came to believe Jesus died on the cross.

    I agree. And for a time a was seeking a portal to say to ones who are interested in converting: PLEASE DON’T CONVERT! for these reasons (and they are a few of many more):

    1.Islam won’t give you what you are searching for. You think Islam is a religion of peace while it actually leads you to war. (see https://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110411045139AAG3FhC)

    2.You can’t be guided directly by Allah or by reading Quran, for you can’t take Quran literally. Most of it is symbolic and you need to interpret it or mostly have an scholar to interpret it for you. So that scholar say Sheikh, Imam, Akhond, Mullah etc., will have the opportunity and power to mislead you and force you act as they want. And they WILL do this for increasing their own power and money.

    3. There is no real freedom of believe in Islam. Once you accepted it you just can’t leave it else you will be an apostate (Mortad) and other Muslims are supposed to kill you! On the other hand Islam is a compulsive heritage; If your parents are Muslim then You are so, you want it or not. Now think about millions of people burnt in Muslim families who pass their childhood and understand what a heck! they can’t adapt another religion.

      Really every religion leads to war If you look at present and history. Evert religion has only one purpose. To guide confused people to normal behavior. Kind of a mannersguide.but since then it has evolved into being literally interpreted wich is quite frankly totally insane. God in its original mening is a metafor for the situation or “life” you Will live when you live by these rules. Its not actually a real force or real entity. There for nowadays when almost e very thing in create on can be explains by science its rally weird to actually take religion as a trut.

    there is one condition Muhammad not sinned/Infallible in informing him about God Almighty provisions but Muhammad and all messengers can be fallible because they are humans.

    Muhammad was not a sinner, nowhere is it mentioned. Yet, he never boasted about him being pure; he always asked for forgiveness “just in case he had made a mistake”, which he didn’t.

        Its just a repeated tale. Its not possible to determinist what is True and not any more. What is not True is that Jesus was the son of god because there is no god.

    Mohammad,PBUH,was not bound to follow Christian law. There was no bar on number of wives in the tribal society he belonged to. God put a bar and God gave him a favor. Blame God not Mohammad.God does favors.Didn’t He favor Marry by blessing her with a son while she was virgin?

    Prophet Muhammed used to seek forgiveness since we have something called sunnah, which is basically what prophet Muhammad, PBOH did, we should also do it, so that was to teach us our religion and how to be better be people a nd how to seek forgiveness from the one who can grant it

    Why convert to islam? You should never convert to islam. Watch videos from Cira International on youtube on topic 31 different Quran versions, their different editions and creation od so-called one Quran. Not one, but there are 31 Qurans, and they are all considered to be ‘true’ Quran, but they are different in context, size, somewhere text was added, somewhere removed. Editions are literally thousands.

    See playlist “The Quran’s Many Problems | Al Fadi and Jay Smith”:

    Unfortunately many Christians have no clue about Islam or about the Qur’an. Inasmuch as I can see you wanting to be a Christian, if you are going to attack Islam/Qur’an, at least do your homework. Read it through and then ask the questions. Have you read through the Qur’an, all of it, ayat by ayat? And have you sat down with an Imam to find out if what you are saying is true? I know from your statements, you have not done this. If you want to see the beauty of the Qur’an and of Islam, read the first Surah, Al Fatiha. I know you could and would pray that!!! We Muslims pray this 17 times a day and more sometimes and we mean every word of it. We also pray Surah 112 daily at least 10 times. We pray five times a day very specifically which reminds us throughout the day of the importance of being prostrate before Allah (SWT) all day in every aspect of our life. How is this bad? Religious stories wars? No. All religions have fantastic stories. In the Qur’an it clearly says there is NO compulsion in religion. You want to be a Christian? Go ahead. On Judgment day you will have to tell Allah (SWT) why you chose that instead of Islam. War? How about the Inquisition, the Crusades, the IRA wars? You’ll say “they” were really not Christians. No true Muslim goes around killing people, OK? Assalam alaykum wa ramtullah wa barakatu.
