How Should Christians Relate to Muslims?

September 17, 2015 by bhacademic Leave a Comment

10cosasquedebessaberdelislamMuslims are human beings, created in the image of God, like everyone else. Muslims are also sinners in need of the Savior, like everyone else. Muslims are neither more nor less lost than any other lost person. Muslims make up many of the tribes, tongues, peoples, and nations of the earth, and Jesus died to redeem a people for himself from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation—including the Muslim ones. It is true that Muslims have traditionally been regarded as resistant to the gospel, but God is no less powerful to save in Arabia than he is in Alabama. It takes no more of a miracle to bring a Muslim from death to life than it does to bring a nonbelieving Westerner from death to life. Most Muslims have never heard the gospel because Christians have been too afraid to take it to them. When Christian witnesses have gone to Muslims, planted their lives, learned the local language, stayed for years, and shared the gospel, they have seen fruit. The issue is not Muslim resistance but Christian disobedience.

Christianity and Islam: Encounters of Change, Conversion, Contextualization

Christianity and Islam are missionary religions. Both the Bible and the Qur’an present mandates to their followers to be missionaries for their religions. History has demonstrated that Muslims have become Christians and that Christians have become Muslims. Christianity is tolerant of Christians joining Islam, if not pleased that a Christian would become a Muslim. Islam is not accepting nor tolerant of Muslims becoming Christians. As Christians and Muslims live beside each other, work together, send their children to the same schools, and engage in more social discourse, they will need to dialogue about change and conversion.

Four Ways of Reaching Out To Muslims

Christians can best reach out to Muslims through education, understanding, relationships, and communication. One needs to be familiar with the basic beliefs and practices of Islam found in the Qur’an and the sayings and traditions of the Muslim prophet Muhammad. To know the origins and expansion of the religion is helpful. An understanding of various sectarian movements within Islam that delineate differences among Muslims will give the Christian helpful hints that all Muslims are not alike. To be proactive in seeking relationships with Muslims around a social occasion will provide opportunities to break down stereotypes. And to learn verbal and non-verbal skills in communication will be a positive approach in meeting and engaging in conversations with Muslims.

Among the 1.6 billion Muslims around the globe there are various relationships with non-Muslims.

CONTEMPORARY ISLAM

Muslims practice the religion Islam and number some 1.5 billion globally. Research indicates that in 1900 they composed 6% of the world’s population. They had doubled their numbers by 1975 to 12%.
