During a door-to-door dawah activity, an outreach specialist met three individuals named Blessings, Pempho, and Makimilan. He began the conversation by asking them whether they believed in God. All of them answered yes, but they explained that they believed Jesus was God. The outreach specialist listened patiently and began explaining the Islamic understanding of Jesus (peace be upon him).
He explained that, in Islam, Jesus is one of Allah’s great prophets and messengers, not God Himself. He further explained that Jesus submitted to the will of God and called people to worship Allah alone. Through this discussion, the outreach specialist helped them understand the Islamic belief in the oneness of Allah and encouraged them to reflect on their understanding of Jesus.
As the conversation continued, Blessings, Pemphepo, and Makimilan listened attentively and reflected on what they were learning. They began to understand the explanation and felt that it made sense to them. They were also interested to learn that Islam respects Jesus as a prophet and teaches people to worship the One Creator alone.
After understanding the message shared by the outreach specialist, all of them took their Shahadah and embraced Islam.
