After having increasing doubts about Islam\u2014the religion he had known all his life in Saudi Arabia\u2014Mohammed began looking for truth online. What he found changed his heart and life as he knew it forever.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor many years, I had doubts when reading the Quran,\u201d Mohammed shares. \u201cFor example, the fact that Allah and Mohammed are considered to be equal. How could Mohammed, a sinful man, be equal to God?\u201d<\/p>\n
There were more inconsistencies. Gradually, Mohammed decided to put his Muslim faith to the test. All his life, he had been taught that missing even one of the five daily prayers would cause a Muslim immediate misfortune. Something bad would most definitely happen if you ceased praying.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, I decided to stop praying for just one day and see what happened,\u201d Mohammed says. \u201cNothing bad happened. On the contrary, I had an amazingly successful business day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mohammed\u2019s doubt continued to mount. He began to look on the internet to learn about other religions. Soon, he learned that the message of the Bible is easy to translate and understand in every culture.<\/p>\n
The love of God that he saw in the scriptures he read stuck with him. He continued his search online, even downloading an app on his smartphone. Through it, he learned about the basic foundations of Christianity. Mohammed felt more and more eager to meet Christians, visit a church, and own a Bible.<\/p>\n
He traveled to two different countries in the Middle East where Christians are openly allowed to visit a church and obtain a Bible. However, these \u201copen\u201d churches are usually not allowed to minister to Muslims, only to Christians from families that have been believers for centuries. Mohammed wasn\u2019t allowed to step foot in either church. He walked away, dejected and empty-handed.<\/p>\n
