He is a living God. His purposes can never be thwarted. He can deliver us from persecution, but He can also deliver us in persecution. That is what He did in Jos. The God we worship is not an idea.

The Camel by Kevin Greeson Every Muslim knows that Allah has 99 names, and many know of a tradition which says that only a camel knows his 100th name. That name is ‘Isa’! The Koran, the Muslims’ holy book, does not answer the question directly, but gives enough clear hints. Many experienced missionaries start a conversation with Muslims with the words “I have discovered an amazing truth in the Koran, which gives hope of eternal life in paradise. Would you please read me Sure Al-Imran 3:42-55?” The Koran teaches that Jesus knows the way to heaven. This Sure says three things about Isa (Jesus) which clearly lift him above the status of a prophet: Isa is holy (3:42-48), has power over death (49-54) and knows the way to heaven (55-56). This is a shock for many Muslims, because what does the Koran say about Mohammed? The surest answer is to say that Mohammed is what he said of himself; in Sure 46:9-10, he says “I am nothing new among prophets; I do not know what will become of me or my followers. I am just a voice of warning.” If Mohammed is nothing different or more than all the prophets before him, and did not claim to be the greatest prophet of all, did not know where he or his followers would go after death, and professes to simply be a voice of warning, the contrast with Jesus’ statements about himself (for example John 6:47 and 14:1-7) could hardly be greater. If you then ask a Muslim “I want to go to heaven when I die. Which prophet can help me get there?”, the result is often a process leading them to read the Injil (New Testament) and find Jesus. Information from the Koran (very important for Muslims) reveals Jesus to be clearly more than just a prophet, and endows him practically with saviour status. “The Koran does not contain enough light to show someone the way to salvation, but enough small candles to guide seekers the right way,” says Greeson.

The Camel by Kevin Greeson

Every Muslim knows that Allah has 99 names, and many know of a tradition which says that only a camel knows his 100th name. That name is ‘Isa’! The Koran, the Muslims’ holy book, does not answer the question directly, but gives enough clear hints.
