witness of Abu Abdullah
One day Abu Abdullah came to my office, he looked quiet, usually he used to look tense and always in a hurry. I asked him what happened, you look so different, quiet and not in a hurry as usual? He said "I have a story and I don't know if you will understand". Abu Abdullah kept quiet for a moment and said "You know I always read the Quran, and before about two months I was meditating on the verses concerning Eessa, and I remembered a story for an Iraqi educated Moslem lady from Kurdistan telling her story when she was in a very great difficulty, and she began praying to Allah and to every prophet she knew beginning with the prophet Mohammad, and she was not helped. Her situation grew worse and worse and then a friend of her told her that there is in Baghdad, where the two ladies lived, a very old church, and she told her that many people that had serious problems went to this church after they were hopeless and laid their hands on the wall of the old church and asked Eessa, (Yasou, Jesus,) to help them, their problems were solved. So this lady suggested to her friend to do the same. So Salma went and laid hands on the wall of that old church and miraculously her problem was solved."
"So", Abu Abdullah went on saying "because of these stories, when I was reading in the Quran the verses about Eessa, I began meditating about all what was written about him and came to a great conclusion that Eessa is not a normal person. The Quran says that Eessa was born from the Spirit of God and not of a normal father. Also he was born from a virgin girl called Miriam, and that is also not normal. So I came to a conclusion that Eessa is not a human person but Divine person. And this made me curious about what the books of the Christian Injeel (New Testament) say about Eessa, and I found that it is written that an angel appeared to Miriam and told her that she will conceive a child of the Holy Spirit of God and she will give birth to a son and she should call his name Jesus, that means: a savior, because salvation to eternal life will be only through him.
Abu Abdullah began praying and asking God to reveal to him this secret, and what is the truth, and he said: " I began feeling closer and closer to God, I began to understand that Easa which the angel called Yeshua or Yasou, Jesus, He is really the way to God and salvation comes through him, I began to understand things I was never able to understand.
"In fact, Abu Abdullah continued to say," I never felt peace in my life, though I was successful in my life, I am an educated man, I have many heavenly gifts between which I could write poetry, and all kinds of literature, I have a high position, and yet I had no peace, and I never had it. When I began to believe that Eesa is the way to God I was changed, every thing in my life was changed, my heart was changed, peace flooded my heart, I began to feel God is really now with me. I never thought I can have any personal relationship with God, and here now I pray , just I talk to God as I used to talk to my father, and I feel God is answering my prayers, I came to know that my old daily prayers did not really help me, I never through them could touch the heart of God and convince Him to help me, and now I am totally changed, I am a new person. The successful secret is that I know pray to God in the Name of Yasou (Jesus), or even sometimes I just talk to Jesus directly and I get answer to my prayers.
Abu Abdullah continued to speak as if he was enjoying telling his story, and to be honest I also enjoyed his story because I badly needed God and His help, but never got it and now here some Moslem educated and very intelligent high official is telling me the way how I also can get my desperately needed help, so I listened attentively and I did not disturb Abu Abdullah while he was talking, I was very interested to know these discoveries he found in his research for the truth. So Abu Abdullah continued saying: " I was a man with hate in his heart, I did not have love in my heart, I was very fanatic for every thing, I did not feel I need to help no body, I did not care for the poor, I did care for my wife and children but I was not a peaceful man at home, because I did not have peace in my heart, so I could not give peace, I wanted badly to be loving husband and father, I wanted badly to be a really nice man, I wanted really to love, but I could not, something in me was as if holding me and closing me and guiding me in an unpeaceful life. After I knew that Easa, Yasou, Jesus, was the way and I accepted that and I studied about his life in the Injeel, the Bible, and I believed all what is written about Him, because the Koran say great things about Him also, after believing Him and accepting Him as my Savior and the Lord of my life, .. after that , my life totally and completely changed, I felt love in my heart, I felt that the power that was holding my life, it left me suddenly and another power filled me, I felt my self very light as if want to fly from happiness, much joy filled my heart, I became optimistic in every thing, I began having hope, hope, hope, a thing I desired so much. My eyes were opened to a new truth, to the real truth, truth about eternity, and truth about this life. I began to understand life and God and man and the Moslems and the Christians and all the other religions how every single person is in need of the truth, not in need of a religion, but in need of the truth, and this truth does not come through religions, but through the Almighty God who created us and every thing.
Tears were flowing from the eyes of this wonderful man I never knew before in such a peace and love and quietness, and Abu Abdullah said: " I can speak day and night about my experiences since I really knew God but I must stop, it is too much for me, it is tooo wonderful for me, I became a man, a real man, a new man , and I wish you can understand."
I said to Abu Abdullah I am very happy to hear all this because I am in the same old situation of his, and that I need the same experience and I really need to know the truth, because after all only the truth will forever stay, so I asked my friend if I can ask him few questions and he quickly said with much pleasure he is willing to answer any question I have.
