ENGLISH عربي__ Beloved Muslim Brothers and Sisters: An invitation to a new beginning in the love of Christ, in His light and peace, and in His eternal salvation Our beloved Muslim brothers and sisters: this website attempts to address the important questions of why you were born in Islam , and why you may wish to exercise your free will, which is one of your most precious basic human rights, and choose renewal of the fallen human nature, and a new beginning and rebirth in Christ Jesus (Isa). The rewards for making that choice are immeasurable. You will break out of, and be liberated form, the bonds of the fallen human nature, and the cycle of monotonous dry rituals. You will be united with Christ by the bond of love, and receive His peace, and eternal salvation. You will leave the land of the lost, to the eternal life and bright pristine light of the Divine One. You will finally see the light at the end of the long dark tunnel. With a few brief isolated exceptions, long centuries of decline followed the Islamic Arab military conquests of the seventh century in the Middle East. An iron curtain had fallen on the conquered Christian lands. The long agonizing process of arabization and islamization had begun. A country like Egypt: the cradle of ancient civilization, the land of the great pyramids and sphinx of the glory days of ancient Egypt, and the brightest precious jewel in the crown of early Christianity, was crippled by poverty and ignorance. It was reduced to a mere cow to be milked by its Muslim Arab conquerors, as Amr ibn al-‘As, the leader of the invading Islamic Arab army, declared. In fact, when the famine intensified in al-Medina, the caliph ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab ordered urgent shipments of wheat from Egypt to it saying: “May God ruin Egypt to build al-Medina.” He used to urge Amr ibn al-‘As to exhaust Egypt with heavy taxation and collect all he could from its goods. Under Islamic rule, Egypt deteriorated from the breadbasket of the Roman empire to a land of famines. Its population declined sharply from about 24 million in 641 AD to 2.5 million in 1801 AD. Alexandria, the shining beacon of Mediterranean civilization in the fifth century, was reduced to a decaying impoverished village in early ninth century. Egypt’s national identity, character, and personality had been defaced and mutilated to the point that its national language had been changed from Coptic to Arabic. The Muslim Arab imperialists had raped its very soul. Is there light at the end of this long dark tunnel of centuries of time? Is there hope after centuries of oppression and decline—hope in a new dawn, a different shining day, and a new bright beginning? Yes there is, please read on… Our beloved Muslim brothers and sisters: the time of awakening has come. The time of searching for your Christian roots and Christian heritage is at hand. The time has arrived to reclaim your precious loving Christ whom your ancestors had lost under the pressure of Islamic persecution and materialistic incentives. According to the facts of history, in a country like Egypt, no one had converted to Islam due to conviction. All those who converted did so because of Islamic pressure and persecution. Allow us to explore this new bright horizon together with you: “The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light” (Romans 13: 12); “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5: 17); “Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life’" (John 8: 12). Your personal discernment and free will, which we highly respect and value, are the final judge. Let us help you in your journey out of spiritual decay, out of the bonds of the fallen human nature, and out of the land of the lost into a new beginning of enlightenment, love, hope, joy, peace and tranquility in the land of eternal divine life—the life that proceeds from the only one true living God of the universe. Your final destination will be heavenly Jerusalem, the glorious eternal city of the ever living Christ, where “there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb (Christ) shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever” (Revelation 22: 3-5). -- All material in this website Copyright © 2003-2020 St. Mark Evangelistic Association.
