"My Great Love for Jesus Led Me to Islam"

The book "My Great Love for Jesus Led Me to Islam" offers a unique faith-based thesis that combines a personal human touch with comparative theological research. The author begins his journey by discussing his life experience in the United States, which served as the starting point for his questions and intellectual quest. The book then moves into a textual study of religious scriptures by reviewing the Gospels and examining the authenticity of the Holy Qur'an, showcasing the life and mission of Jesus (peace be upon him), followed by a study of the biography and message of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It dedicates its largest section to examining the fundamental pillars and comparing Christianity and Islam, thoroughly analyzing complex theological issues such as the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, divine sonship and the concept of original sin, contrasting them with the Islamic worldview of Islam as a religion of pure monotheism that unites all prophets under its banner. The author narrates his decisive step toward Islam, emphasizing the paradox that Christ’s own influence and status were the very bridge through which he crossed into Islam, while highlighting the positive changes that occurred in his life and the lives of others around him, alongside addressing freedom of belief and the rejection of compulsion in religion. The author concludes his work by addressing an open letter and invitation to the Pope and world leaders calling for reflection and dialogue, supporting the book with a special appendix that provides a direct, textual comparison between passages from the Holy Qur'an and the Holy Bible to document the intellectual evidence of the research.
