Letters From the Fire: Conversations with the Lost

A Reflective Journey for Seekers | Series Part 1

In the age of algorithms and war, where faith has been torn between violence and spectacle, between ignorance and identity, a conversation between one young revert and his Christian brother becomes a battlefield of ideas. This is one such conversation that occurred long ago.

We sat with it in remembrance, all parties involved sharing new perspectives, as the will of Allah inevitably unfolded.

One thing became clear.

This is more relevant today than ever.

So the brothers agreed we would share our reflections here.

‍

What began as a message of concern from an older Christian brother to his younger Muslim brother turned into a fiery exchange of truths, half-truths, distortions, and awakening. The purpose of this post is not to shame or gloat. It is to ponder deeply.

For Muslims, Christians, agnostics, and anyone in between... let this conversation be a mirror and a map.

“And say: The truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Indeed, falsehood is bound to vanish.”

— Surah Al-Isra (17:81)

‍

Part I: The First Flame - His Message

Christian:

“By their fruits you shall know them. Islam has become a tree of violent fruit. People are executed simply for not being Muslim. You’ve chosen a path of darkness. I say this with love, not to argue. Christianity has its questions, but it’s the way. Jesus is protection you can’t buy. Retrace your steps, please. I would be remiss if I didn’t say this.”

‍

Part II: The First Response - A Spark of Fire

Muslim:

I say the same to you. If you can equate Islam with terrorism, then you haven’t thought deeply at all. That kind of generalisation is the height of ignorance. Would you judge Christianity by the Crusades, the Inquisitions, the slavery ships prayed over in Jesus’ name?

You speak of fruit. But do you know your own roots? Have you ever read the Qur’an? Have you studied the Bible beyond what the colonial pulpit gave you?

Don’t talk down to someone who has done the work while you inherit a belief you never questioned.

‍

Reflection 1: By Their Fruits - A Deceptive Standard

This phrase, “by their fruits you shall know them,” comes from the Gospel of Matthew. Yet, the speaker uses it to judge a billion people based on the actions of a few.

But if we use this standard fairly:

The Transatlantic Slave Trade was led by Christian monarchs and popes.
Colonisation was blessed in churches.
Hiroshima was bombed by a “Christian” nation.

Shall we now call Christianity a tree of atomic fruit?

No. We must separate followers from falsehood, and religion from political misuse.

‍

Part III: A Second Blow - The Weight of History

‍

Muslim:

Do you know the origins of the Trinity? It didn’t exist in the first generations of Jesus’ followers. It was voted on centuries later, at the Council of Nicaea. Your Bible says Black people were cursed by Noah... a story used to justify slavery.

Jesus never claimed to be God. Paul made that claim. Paul was not a disciple of Jesus. He never met him. He reversed what Jesus taught.

Islam, meanwhile, preserves the commandment: Worship none but God.

‍

Reflection 2: The Trinity - Invention of Power

‍

“Do not say ‘Three’. Cease! It is better for you. Allah is One God. Glory be to Him that He should have a son!”

— Surah An-Nisa (4:171)

‍

The Council of Nicaea (325 AD) was a political meeting, not a prophetic one. Jesus (Isa, peace be upon him) never said “I am God.” He said, “My Father is greater than I.” (John 14:28)

The early Unitarians were hunted down, killed, and labelled heretics. The Gospel of Barnabas, which confirms Jesus was never crucified, was removed, hidden and outlawed.

This is not conspiracy. It is documented history.

‍

Part IV: The Divine Jesus Deception

‍

Muslim:

‍

You believe God sent his son to die because man sinned? You say only through belief in Jesus as God and the son of God can I earn salvation?

The obvious inconsistencies in the Bible are not divine mysteries. They are signs of infiltration by the devil, especially since the main doctrinal change is from the Jealous God of the Old Testament to a triune God who limits salvation to those who worship his son.

That’s the same lie the devil told Adam: God forbade them from one thing. To eat from the tree. The Devil lied and told them that they would have everlasting life if they ate from the tree.

Disobey and you will become eternal. The same trick, recycled.

‍

Reflection 3: The Religion of the Oppressor - A Compromised Revelation

‍

The gravest betrayal of humanity has never been just in violence - but in the corruption of guidance.

Over centuries, what began as revelation from the Most Merciful was slowly bent to serve the ambitions of men. Scriptures were not only translated... but selectively edited. Teachings were not only taught... but reinterpreted through councils, clergy, and kings.

This wasn’t just human error. It was the handiwork of Iblis whispering at every level... into hearts, pulpits, and empires.

Dogmas that Jesus never preached were declared creed. Power disguised itself as piety. The religion of the One God was transformed into a mystery of three. Blood sacrifice replaced obedience. Salvation was sold through exclusive claims instead of righteous action.

“They take their rabbis and their monks as lords besides Allah… while they were commanded to worship only One God.”

— Surah At-Tawbah (9:31)

‍

This was no accident.

‍

The manipulation of faith became a tool of empires and institutions... designed to pacify the masses, justify conquest, and veil the truth. Christianity, like Islam, was infiltrated. But Islam came last... preserved and sealed by the Qur’an, guarded by Allah Himself.

‍

“Indeed, it is We who sent down the Reminder, and indeed, We will be its guardian.”

— Surah Al-Hijr (15:9)

‍

The Qur’an did not come to destroy the message... it came to restore it.

‍

“They did not kill him, nor crucify him. But it was made to appear so to them.”

— Surah An-Nisa (4:157)

‍

Part V: The Endgame Warning

‍

Muslim:

‍

We are in the end times. Wake up. The people killing in the name of Islam are funded by the same powers that used to kill in the name of Christ. Khazars. Mossad. Mercenaries. These are not Muslims. They are deceivers.

If you read the Qur’an, you’d know this.

God is calling you to truth, but you are too arrogant to see. You’re a good man. But good intentions are not enough.

The hour is late.

‍

Reflection 4: Sincerity vs. Salvation

‍

Your brother is not your enemy. He is sincere. But sincerity without investigation is not enough.

‍

Truth requires:

‍

Effort (study)
Humility (unlearning)
Submission (to God alone)

‍

“Say, Are those who know equal to those who do not know?”

— Surah Az-Zumar (39:9)

‍

Final Dawah: A Call to All Seekers

‍

If you are Christian, ask: Did Jesus ever claim divinity? Why was the Bible changed? Who decided your canon?
If you are Muslim, ask: Do you refuse to stay silent in the face of falsehood? Do too many Muslims feel they must “stay polite” while their deen is insulted? Are you living Islam as a mercy to mankind?

If you are doubting, ask: What if the real enemy of Truth was the system that gave me my rationale or religion?

‍

Islam is not the problem. It is the correction.

‍

Words of the Mahdi (Nasser Mohammad Al-Yemeni)

‍

“Indeed, Allah is not unjust to His servants, and whoever seeks the truth, Allah will guide him to it. But whoever turns away arrogantly, his arrogance will be his veil.”
