I come from a very wealthy family. When I was a child, a religious teacher taught me about Hell from the Quran to scare us into doing what Allah says. They also taught us to obey our parents and not do anything that makes them angry.
It made me afraid of my religious teachers, parents, brothers and sisters, and especially Allah. They all scared me.
I had a maid. She seemed to be a person who was not afraid of anything. She had a very difficult life because we all treated her like a slave, but I would still see her smile and hear her humming all the time. One day I asked her, “What makes you so happy?” she whispered, “Jesus. Jesus makes me happy.”
After that… I secretly talked to her about Jesus often and I found peace in Him. I secretly read the Bible every day, and now I'm not afraid anymore.
Prayer Request
Pray that God will bring Muslims who struggle with fear into contact with believers who can tell them about the peace they can have in Jesus. May they see the God of peace through the life of Jesus and accept Him with all their hearts.
