Salams brothers and sisters,
Today I was talking to a long time friend and I told her that I converted to Islam. She had nothing but good things to say to me, she even told me that her husband was looking into it but she felt uncomfortable so he stopped for her. That made me sad, so can we please make dua for them they they will be guided to the truth. They have a qur'an and some other books in their house, Inshallah they will open them and begin to read the word of God.
She asked me 2 questions that I tried to answer but im not sure if I did a good job. We should all know the first question because it is discussed all the time. How can we believe Jesus is not God? I answered in the best way I could, and with the knowledge that I have gained thus far. So, I was wondering if anybody had anything that I could send to her. I was hoping it wouldn't be too long because I don't want her to feel overwhelmed. I'm almost certain there are other threads that answer this question so im going to do a bit of research myself. But if anyone has anything handy I would appreciate it. I also remember in the bible it saying that Jesus is not God but I don't know where, could somebody tell me the chapters and such. I am also going to watch "the deen show" I'm sure you all have heard of this website, if not I would be glad to inform you. Yea, I'm going to watch the episode called "10 reasons why Jesus Christ isn't God". I'm going to jot down some notes and send it to her.
Her second question was, How can we(Muslims) believe that reading a Qur'an in English is the correct translation from Arabic? How do we know that it was translated correctly?
Once again I told her what I knew and it seemed like she understood but I don't think it was a solid answer. I would like to give her something more concrete. I know there is a very good answer to this question, I don't want her to think that we dont have proof for the things we say. So, again if anybody has any answers for me I would love to hear it, I really want to answer her questions.
Thank you in advance
