Christians Must Heed
Jesus
As Muslims, it is also our desire for we also want Christians to be-
come true believers. Our duty, as revealed by God in the Koran is to
"enjoin the right and forbid the wrong" (Koran, 3:104) and to call on
the People of the Book to believe in the Oneness of God (Koran, 3:64).
These require that we lead them away from errors that some of our
Christian brothers have unknowingly fallen into and show them the
truth. It is therefore a matter of the greatest importance for Christians
to be warned against these dangers, like all other believers, and to be
invited to adhere to the true commands revealed by God and to abide
by logic and reason.
This book deals with beliefs that entered Christianity, a true faith,
over the course of the years and which the Koran warns against. As the
verses telling of these errors are set out, evidence will be produced
from the Gospel, Christians’ own holy book, to do away with these. As
with all beliefs, there may be Christians who look at matters from a
radical perspective, who insist on these false beliefs
we have mentioned and who harbor a preju-
diced view of the Koran. Our advice to our
Christian brothers in question is to read what
is presented in this book in an objective
manner and to evaluate what they read
rationally and from an entirely new per-
spective. This will not lead them astray
from what is commanded in the
Gospel. On the contrary – by God’s
leave – it will be instrumental in
their approaching the Gospel
more honestly and obeying it in
a more perfect manner.
