THE PROPHET 
WAS NOT SURE 
OF HIS ETERNAL DESTINY

 

Surah 19:71 And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed


In Saheh Elboukhary 5968 and Saheh Muslim 1441 (71/2816) the Prophet said, 

 

“No one will enter paradise by his works”, and the crowd said, “Even you Messenger of God?” 


and he replied, 

 

“Even me unless God saturates me with forgiveness and mercy”. 


If the most favourable Prophet was not sure, what about the average Muslim? 

 

The prophet JOB was a righteous man and God said about him to the devil in 

 

Job 1:8Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?” 

 

JOB cried in: 

 

Job 25:4,5How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.”

 

Prophet ISAIAH in Isaiah 64:6 says, 

 

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

 

KING DAVID in Psalm 14:2,3 said, 

 

The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.” 

 

Apostle PAUL says in Romans 3:23 

 

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God”.

 

God has prepared justification by grace through faith and not by works. 

 

Ephesians 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

 

Therefore, we find in the Torah and the Bible that, men of God were very sure and willing to go to be with their God.

 

ENOCH was raised to heaven. Geneses 5:24 

 

And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” and Hebrews 11:5By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.”

 

MOSES - God buried him. 

 

Deuteronomy 34:5,6So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. 6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.

 

ELIJAH was caught up to heaven in a fiery wagon as described in II Kings 2:11,12 

 

And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.”

 

APOSTLE PAUL in Philippians 1:23 

 

For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:"

 

and in II Timothy 4:6-8 

 

For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing."

 

APOSTLE PETER in II Peter 1:13-15 

 

Yeah, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; 14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle [my body], even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. 15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

 

We can all be assured of heaven if we put our full trust in the Lord Jesus Christ who died in our place on the cross of Calvary and rose again on the third day. If we repent from our sins and accept His sacrifice on the cross, we can receive eternal life.

 

The Quran and the Hadith always speak well of Jesus and that He had not been touched by the devil. Therefore what He said should be true, and here are some of Jesus’ sayings as written in the Bible, which has not been changed:

 

John 10: 9-11 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep

 

To be saved from eternal damnation and go to heaven, you must come to Him by faith and trust in Him for your salvation. Also you will enjoy His goodness and care all your life and you will find meaning to your existence.

 

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

 

He is the Way to the Father in heaven, and there is no other way to go to heaven.

 

He is the Truth, and the Truth is God. Where do you find the Truth itself but in God.

 

He is the Life and who rejects Him will suffer eternal death. He is the Life giver.

 

John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.

 

That is His promise that eternal death will not hurt those who believe in Him and who trust the work which He did for their salvation. The death which all humans face will have no power to keep the people in the grave but they will rise to life eternal in heaven.

 

John 5: 24,28 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice.

 

Islam acknowledges that Jesus is the one who will come and judge the world. So if you want to escape the final death sentence, trust what Jesus has said and believe in Him.

 

To the reader of this pamphlet, you have two choices, not three. I wish that you would all find eternal life and would not come to condemnation nor face eternal death as we are warned in the book of Revelation.

 

Revelation 20:11-15 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

 

After comparing the Quran and the Bible, I am sure of my faith and I don’t deserve to be called an infidel or Kafer. If you want to be Muslim, it is your own free choice. Everyone will have the Lord to judge him not man. 

 

Dear reader, 

God exists and eternity is coming soon. If you are serious, pray and ask the God who made you, to show you the truth and the path you should follow so that you will not be condemned but will have heaven as your eternal destiny.
