Fatimah (RA) was the youngest daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). She witnessed the early struggles of propagating Islam in Mecca and the hardships faced by the Muslim community. She was married to Ali (RA) and had four children, two sons Hassan (RA) and Husain (RA) and two daughters. Hassan (RA) briefly served as caliph but abdicated to prevent civil war, while Husain (RA) was martyred in the Battle of Karbala while refusing to pledge allegiance to the tyrannical ruler Yazid. Both grandsons played important roles in early Islamic history and their sacrifices cemented their status as respected martyrs.

This document provides an overview of medicine in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. It discusses that during the Middle Ages, medical knowledge declined as Roman and Greek works were lost. Disease was often attributed to religious causes, and medical practices were limited. The Renaissance brought revivals in learning, anatomy, and the scientific method. Figures like Vesalius, Harvey, and Paracelsus advanced understandings of anatomy and circulation through observations and experimentation, moving away from past authorities like Galen. Overall, medicine transitioned from being primarily religiously-based to increasingly scientific and evidence-driven over these eras.

During the period from 570-1000 CE, the Arab empire experienced a golden age of trade and urbanization. Major cities like Baghdad, Cairo, and Damascus served as centers for trade along the Silk Road as well as administrative and cultural hubs. Ships and caravans traded goods like gold, slaves, silk, spices, and other commodities across Africa, Asia, and Europe. This flourishing trade led to large, prosperous cities and the rise of Islamic architecture including grand mosques and palaces.
This document provides an overview of the four Rashidun caliphs who succeeded the prophet Muhammad from 632 to 661 CE: Abu Bakr, Umar ibn Al-Khattab, Uthman ibn Affan, and Ali ibn Abi Talib. It discusses their contributions to expanding Islamic rule, establishing political and economic systems, and compiling the Quran. While the Rashidun caliphates helped spread Islam and govern successfully, after Ali differences emerged that divided Muslims into Sunni and Shia branches.
Bediuzzaman Said Nursi was a prominent Islamic scholar born in 1877 in Eastern Turkey who dedicated his life to defending and teaching Islam. As a child, he displayed extraordinary intellectual abilities and memorization skills. After World War I, during which he commanded militia forces, he withdrew from politics upon seeing the rise of anti-Islamic ideas. He spent many years in exile, where he wrote the Risale-i Nur Collection to explain the Quran and defend Islam using modern sciences. His goal was to prove the eternal truth of the Quran and renew Islamic theology to respond to modern challenges.

Slavery - What You Have Never Been ToldPeter Hammond
This document provides a summary of the Islamic slave trade compared to the Transatlantic slave trade. It notes that the Islamic slave trade lasted 14 centuries and transported at least 28 million Africans compared to around 11 million in the Transatlantic trade. Conditions were far worse in the Islamic trade, with 80-90% mortality rates during transport compared to 10% in the Transatlantic trade. The sexual exploitation and castration of male slaves was also more common. In contrast to Christian abolitionists, there was no comparable opposition to slavery within the Muslim world.
The document summarizes the views of Protestant Reformers like Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Jonathan Edwards on Islam and the Muslim Ottoman Empire. It discusses how they interpreted various biblical passages as referring to Islam or the Turks, viewed Muhammad as a false prophet, and saw the Ottoman Empire as aligned with antichrist and the enemy of Christianity that needed to be resisted through preaching and prayer. The Reformers warned Western Europe about the threat from the Muslim East and drew comparisons between Islam and antichrist in their teachings and writings.

The Reformers warned Western Europe about the threat from the Muslim East and drew comparisons between Islam and antichrist in their teachings and writings.
The document discusses the concept of Jihad according to the founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. It summarizes his teachings on Jihad in three key points:
1) He taught that according to the Quran and teachings of Muhammad, the use of force is forbidden in matters of faith and Islam should only be propagated through its inherent qualities, not by the sword.
2) He rejected the concept that the Promised Messiah would fight and kill disbelievers, stating this view is opposed to the Quran and invented by impostors.
3) He emphasized that the true concept of Jihad in Islam only permits defensive wars, wars to punish
- On July 25, 1993, terrorists from the Azanian People's Liberation Army (APLA) attacked St. James Church in Cape Town during a Sunday service, killing 11 people and wounding 50 with grenades and automatic weapons.
- Witnesses described the attackers kicking open the doors and immediately opening fire on the congregation of over 1,400 with grenades and assault rifles. Some acts of bravery, such as a man covering a grenade with his body, helped limit the death toll.
- The attack had devastating impacts on the victims and their families. Many were left dead or crippled for life, including having limbs amputated. The St. James congregation and others in the community
This document provides an analysis of the Crusades and Jihad from the perspective of Dr. Peter Hammond. It seeks to dispel common misconceptions about the Crusades. The document argues that the Crusades were a reaction to over 500 years of conquest and oppression of Christians in the Middle East by Islamic jihad. It details how Muslim armies had conquered over two-thirds of the Christian world before the Crusades began. The Crusades are portrayed as defensive wars to liberate Christian lands and defend against further Muslim aggression, not wars of aggression themselves. The document criticizes the inaccurate portrayal of the Crusades in films like Kingdom of Heaven, arguing it presents a distorted version of history.
Islam means submission to the will of God. It teaches belief in one God, the Day of Judgment, and individual accountability. The basic teachings of Islam are similar to Christianity and Judaism, including belief in God and prophets. The five pillars of Islam are the profession of faith, prayer, charity, fasting during Ramadan, and pilgrimage to Mecca if able. Muslims believe Islam was the religion of previous prophets including Adam and Jesus, and that Muhammad was the final prophet who received revelations that became the Quran.
The document summarizes the origins of Islam through the life and teachings of Mohammed. It describes how Mohammed began receiving revelations in the 600s AD and preached a monotheistic faith, Islam, which became a major religious and political force. His migration from Mecca to Medina in 622 AD marked the beginning of the Islamic calendar. Islam then expanded rapidly through military conquests across the Middle East, North Africa and into Europe and Asia in the following centuries.
The document discusses anger, including what anger is, common causes and triggers of anger, different types of anger, and strategies for managing anger. It defines anger as a basic human emotion typically triggered by hurt, mistreatment, opposition to views, or obstacles to goals. It lists common anger triggers like rudeness, tiredness, injustice, and humiliation. It also describes 12 different types of anger from behavioral to deliberate. Finally, it discusses anger management, including understanding triggers, expressing anger constructively, and using a CUDSAIR framework to confront problems that make you angry.
This document discusses various aspects of culture in Islam, including dress, language, marriage, festivals, architecture, and more. It provides definitions of culture and describes how Islam prescribes certain principles for dress, such as covering the body modestly and distinguishing between genders. It also discusses how Arabic was spread through Islamic empires and notes important Islamic architectural styles and examples, including the Taj Mahal.
Islamic culture made significant contributions to advancing world civilization across many domains. Muslims preserved classical knowledge during the European dark ages and transmitted it to Europe. They made important advances in areas like mathematics, science, medicine, architecture, art, and established the earliest universities. Many aspects of modern life have roots in Islamic innovations and words introduced through Arabic, showing Islam's historical influence on global civilization remains undeniable.
The document provides tips for managing anger in 3 or fewer sentences. It suggests knowing yourself, thinking ahead to avoid urgent problems, and learning from mistakes rather than getting angry. Prioritizing important tasks, organizing your mind and workspace, saying sorry at the right time, and using short periods of time productively can help reduce anger. Controlling one's temper when angry and being polite even to those of lower status also help manage anger.
The document summarizes the origins and key aspects of Islam. It began in the 7th century in Mecca under the prophet Muhammad. The Quran contains revelations Muhammad received from God. Islam spread rapidly during the Golden Age from 750-1258 AD and is now the second largest religion. The two main denominations are Sunni, comprising 80% of Muslims, and Shia, who believe in religious leadership of Imams.
Women In Islam, Statements from Quran and Hadithelicit
The document discusses the status and rights of women in Islam across various aspects - spiritual, social, economic, and political. Spiritually, the Quran establishes complete equality between men and women. Socially, women have rights regarding education, marriage, divorce and are not to be mistreated. Economically, women have rights to own and inherit property and keep their own earnings. Politically, women can participate in politics and hold leadership positions. Overall, the document argues that Islam established women's rights in many areas centuries before the modern Western world.
Serial Killers Psychology PresentationPietro Solda
Serial killers are typically single white males with unstable family histories and psychological issues. They are often intelligent but have difficulties with employment and relationships. There are two main types - organized killers who plan their crimes, and disorganized killers who act impulsively. Motives include lust, thrill-seeking, gaining power or profit. Lust killers in particular derive sexual pleasure from torture and mutilation of victims. Notable serial killers profiled include Jeffrey Dahmer, who engaged in cannibalism and necrophilia, David Parker who tortured victims in a torture chamber, and Richard Chase who was driven by delusions involving blood and organs.
1) The document discusses how Islam brought light and advancement to the world through science, philosophy and culture during a time when Europe was in darkness. It describes how the religion of Islam transformed societies and advanced human civilization.
2) Specifically, it outlines how Islam ended barbarism and violence in Arabia through its teachings of peace, reason and justice. Muslim civilization then drove major scientific and cultural developments.
3) At its peak, the Islamic empire spread across a vast region and established a tolerant society where people of different faiths lived in peace under Muslim rule. This period saw great innovations in fields like mathematics, astronomy, medicine and architecture that later influenced Western civilization.
A Common tactic used by many Muslims, and their apologists, is to accuse the West of having subjected Islamic nations to European colonialism. However, while Western colonialism and conquests of Muslim lands lasted for approximately 130 years, from the 1830s to the 1960s, Muslim colonisation of European lands lasted over 1,300 years.
The document provides an overview of the origins and spread of the three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It discusses how Judaism emerged among the Hebrews in Mesopotamia and their migration to Canaan under Abraham. Christianity developed from Judaism based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. Islam emerged in the 7th century AD in Mecca under the prophet Muhammad, incorporating aspects of both earlier faiths. It then spread rapidly through the Middle East, Africa, and Asia in the following centuries through Muslim trade networks and military conquests.
Muhammad spread the beliefs and practices of Islam through conquest. His successors built an empire stretching from Spain to India. In the 7th century, a split created the Sunni and Shiite sects of Islam. The nomadic Arabs originated from the Arabian Peninsula and organized into tribes. Muhammad received revelations from God through the angel Gabriel and founded Islam, with beliefs including monotheism, following the Five Pillars of Islam, and adhering to Sharia law.
The document provides an overview of the key aspects of the Islamic religion, including its origins in Saudi Arabia under the prophet Muhammad, the holy book of the Quran, and the five pillars of faith. It discusses the two main sects of Islam - Sunni and Shi'a - and the rapid spread of the religion from the 7th century through conquest and trade, establishing large empires from India to Spain within 100 years. However, political unity was short-lived as divisions emerged over leadership of the Muslim world.
This document discusses the spread and impact of militant Islam over the past 1400 years. It claims that 270 million non-believers were murdered by Muslim jihadists during that period, including 60 million Christians in the Middle East and North Africa and 80 million Hindus in South Asia. It then provides population statistics and predictions about the growth of Islam in various European countries over the next few decades, arguing that Muslims will become the majority in many countries unless trends change. The document characterizes Islam as a "killing machine" and "anti-civilization cult" that has brought misery wherever it has spread.
This document discusses the spread of militant Islam and jihad around the world over the past 1400 years. It claims that 270 million non-believers were murdered by Muslim jihadists, and that Islam destroyed Christian civilizations in the Middle East and North Africa, killing an estimated 60 million Christians. It warns that the Muslim population is growing rapidly in Europe and that within a few decades, some European countries may have Muslim majorities. It provides population statistics about Muslims in several European countries and asserts that the presence of Islam threatens local cultures and values.
This document summarizes the views of Dr. Peter Hammond on how civilizations can commit suicide through mass Muslim migration and multiculturalism. It discusses how Christianity was eliminated in Egypt, Turkey, and Northern Sudan as Muslim populations grew. It warns that Europe could face a similar fate and lose its Christian identity if current migration trends continue, as Muslim populations grow and seek to impose their culture and religion. It argues the current migration crisis has been artificially manufactured to irreversibly transform Europe's ethnic and religious composition.
The document examines sources of Islam and the Quran, finding evidence that significant parts were derived from existing human sources available during Muhammad's time. It identifies influences from pre-Islamic Arabian religion including worship at the Kaaba, pilgrimages, fasting during Ramadan, and daily prayers. Jewish sources are also identified such as stories of biblical figures, legends, and the Talmud. Christian sources include apocryphal gospels and heretical writings. The document concludes that if parts of the Quran can be shown to be derived from human rather than divine sources, then Islam's great claims collapse.

The document provides background information on the Assyrian genocide that occurred from 1914-1924 in Turkey. It discusses how the ancient Assyrian civilization existed in the region now known as Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria. During World War 1, the Ottoman Empire carried out genocide against Christian communities including Assyrians. Approximately 200,000-300,000 Assyrians were killed through massacre, deportation and abuse. This resulted in massive displacement and ongoing conflicts that have stunted development and recovery in the Tur Abdin region of Turkey, where many Assyrians once lived. Decades later, only a small number of Assyrians remain in the region, though some have tried returning. Conflict, lack of rights, and poverty
The document provides background on the Middle East region, including the origins and spread of Islam, the Sunni-Shia split, and the influence of militant Islamic philosophers like Ibn Taymiyyah and Abdul Wahhab. It also summarizes the modern political history of the region, including the establishment of Israel, Arab-Israeli conflicts, rise of terrorism, and the Iranian Revolution led by Ayatollah Khomeini.
The document provides an overview of the history of relations between Christians and Muslims from the 7th century to present day. It divides history into eight ages characterized by increasing contact and conflict as Muslims displaced Christians from political and intellectual leadership in the medieval period, culminating in the Crusades, but also periods of cooperation during the Golden Age of Islam. It concludes that the best contexts for interaction have been when Christians are minorities, in the realm of ideas, and with a contextualized Christian message.
The document discusses the origins and beliefs of different religious groups in the Middle East, including:
1) It describes the American Black Muslim Movement started by Elijah Muhammad as a hybrid belief system combining teachings from Wallace Fard, the Watchtower Society, and some elements of Islam.
2) It outlines some core Islamic beliefs, including the view that the world is divided between the "House of Peace" (where Allah rules) and the "House of War" (where infidels live), and that defeating Israel would please Allah.
3) It briefly summarizes the history of Christianity in Armenia and the Armenian Genocide by Ottoman Turks in the early 20th century that killed over 1 million Armenians.
The document discusses the origins and spread of Islam from the 7th to 12th centuries. It describes how the Islamic civilization absorbed influences from previous cultures like Greece, Rome, Judaism and Christianity. Muhammad founded Islam in 610 after receiving revelations, and the religion spread rapidly under subsequent caliphates. Key beliefs include monotheism, five pillars of faith, and prohibitions on images which influenced Islamic art forms like calligraphy and arabesque designs. The golden age of the Abbasid caliphate saw advances in science, philosophy and architecture.
the concept of islamic and civilizationnNursKitchen
The document summarizes the origins and early spread of Islam. It describes:
- Pre-Islamic Arabia which was divided into tribes and lacked strong political entities. The Kaaba shrine in Mecca was an important pilgrimage site.
- The life and teachings of the prophet Muhammad who received revelations from God and promoted strict monotheism and social justice. He migrated to Medina and his followers rapidly converted many Arab tribes.
- The five pillars of Islam that unified believers - profession of faith, prayer, almsgiving, fasting during Ramadan, and pilgrimage to Mecca.
- How the early Islamic state expanded rapidly under the first four caliphs, motivated by jihad
This Book represents only a small cross-section of the vast number of Muslim chronicles,
chronicles that have recorded the fiendish deeds of Islamic raiders and rulers for over a millenium in
India alone. This amounts to a sickening tale of unrelieved and uninterrupted trickery, treachery,
tyranny, torture, terror, temptation and taxation.
The document discusses the similarities between how ISIS and the Christian Crusaders have used media to influence public perception and further their goals. It notes that both groups glorified their violent actions through various media forms to gain support and recruits. The Crusaders used artwork, letters, and poetry, while ISIS uses recorded videos online. The document argues that history is repeating itself as media on both sides portrays the other in an extremely negative light, fueling further conflict.
This document discusses the threat of radical Islam in Europe and calls for a new Christian reformation and spiritual revival to counter this threat. It argues that secularism and hedonism have weakened Europe's Christian foundations and left it vulnerable to Islamic influence. Statistics are presented showing growing Muslim populations in several European countries. The document warns that if current trends continue, Europe risks losing its culture and freedoms and falling under Islamic law. It calls Christians to wake up to the crisis, engage in evangelism, prayer and biblical teaching to conquer this threat rather than being fearful or complacent.
The document summarizes the rise of Islam. It describes how the religion was founded in 610 AD by the prophet Muhammad in Mecca and spread across the Arabian Peninsula and beyond through military conquests under the first four caliphs. The Muslim empire grew rapidly to span over 6000 miles due to factors like disciplined armies and allowing conquered peoples to keep their faith if they paid a tax. However, internal divisions later emerged between the Sunni and Shia over who should lead the Muslim community after Muhammad.
The Wesley brothers, John and Charles, were central figures of the 18th century Evangelical Revival in Britain. They grew up during the Industrial Revolution, a time of rapid social and economic change. Both brothers experienced spiritual crises and conversions that led them to preach the doctrine of justification by faith alone, sparking widespread evangelism across Britain and literally transforming society.
Girolamo Savonarola - The Reformer of FlorencePeter Hammond
Savonarola was born in 1452 in Ferrara, Italy to a noble family. He studied philosophy, logic, and medicine before becoming a monk in 1475 and joining the Dominicans. He was sent to Florence where he began fearlessly preaching against the corruption and immorality he saw in the Catholic Church and Florentine society. Savonarola gained a large following and confronted the ruling Medici family. When the Medici's power waned, Savonarola became ruler of Florence for three years and instituted moral reforms. However, he made enemies, including Pope Alexander VI, who had Savonarola excommunicated, imprisoned, and tortured. Remaining steadfast in his beliefs,
Jan Hus was a 15th century Bohemian priest who preached reformist views that challenged the Catholic Church's corruption and abuse of power. Inspired by John Wycliffe's teachings, Hus denounced the sale of indulgences and sins of clergy. He was excommunicated, summoned to a church council, and despite an imperial guarantee of safe passage, was imprisoned and burned at the stake for heresy. Hus' martyrdom helped spread reformist resistance against Rome's authority and led to military conflicts between Hussite followers and the Holy Roman Empire.
Anne of Bohemia was the eldest daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor and a friend of the Protestant Reformation. She loved studying the Bible and protected John Wycliffe from persecution. Anne encouraged Bohemian students to study under Wycliffe and helped spread Reformation teachings throughout Europe. Her marriage to King Richard II of England was said to be happy. However, Anne tragically died of plague at age 27, deeply mourning by the people of England. Her influence helped spread Reformation ideas to Bohemia and beyond.
The Waldesians Firm and Faithful Alpine Fighters for the FaithPeter Hammond
Peter Waldo was a wealthy merchant in Lyons, France who gave away all his possessions after a friend's death led him to seriously consider his soul. He had priests translate the Gospels into French and was convicted by what he read. Waldo and his followers, called the Waldensians, sought to live in voluntary poverty and preach the Gospel, which brought persecution from the Catholic Church. Despite centuries of persecution, the Waldensians survived and helped inspire reformers like Jan Hus, spreading the Gospel across Europe through traveling preachers.
Countering Halloween Witchcraft with Biblical ReformationPeter Hammond
This document discusses Halloween and argues that it has origins in pagan rituals rather than Christianity. It describes Halloween traditions like costumes, jack-o-lanterns, and trick-or-treating as having roots in Celtic harvest festivals and Druid practices involving human and animal sacrifices to appease spirits. The document recommends that Christians celebrate Reformation Day instead of Halloween and warns that Halloween promotes occult beliefs and can introduce people to witchcraft. It provides many Bible verses condemning pagan practices and encouraging Christians to stand against evil.
William Wilberforce and the Campaign to End SlaveryPeter Hammond
This document provides background on William Wilberforce and his lifelong crusade to abolish the slave trade in Britain. It details how Wilberforce was inspired by his Christian faith to take on this cause, despite facing overwhelming opposition. After years of persistent effort, public awareness campaigns, and legal battles, Wilberforce succeeded in getting Parliament to pass acts abolishing the slave trade in 1807 and emancipating all slaves in the British Empire by 1833, just before his death. The document emphasizes Wilberforce's moral leadership and the role of his evangelical Christian faith in fueling his determination to achieve these landmark reforms.
Queen Elizabeth I and the Spanish ArmadaPeter Hammond
Queen Elizabeth I was England's greatest queen who successfully established Protestantism and led England during a golden age. Under her 45-year reign, England defeated the Spanish Armada, establishing itself as a naval power. Shakespeare and other artists flourished during her Protestant rule, which contrasted with the Catholic persecutions under her half-sister Queen Mary I. The Spanish Armada posed an immense threat in 1588 as it sought to invade England, but the Royal Navy led by Hawkins and Drake used superior cannons to defeat the larger Spanish fleet in a decisive victory.

This document provides a Christian perspective on the war in Ukraine from Dr. Peter Hammond. It makes several key points in 3 or fewer sentences:
The war pits millions of Christians against each other and has caused much suffering. Ukraine has a history of oppression under communism, particularly Stalin's regime which caused millions of deaths. Attempts to expand NATO and draw Ukraine away from Russia's sphere of influence helped precipitate the conflict despite warnings from Russia.
Hudson Taylor was a British Protestant Christian missionary to China in the 19th century. He founded the China Inland Mission, now known as OMF International, which became a large missionary organization that focused on evangelizing interior regions of China. Some key aspects:
- Taylor was called to be a missionary to China from a young age and prepared extensively through language study, theology study, and living frugally.
- He adopted Chinese dress and customs to better connect with Chinese people and viewed this as important for an indigenous church. This was controversial among other missionaries.
- Taylor started the China Inland Mission in 1865 with the goal of sending missionaries deep into China without salaries and relying on faith for provisions.
This document discusses the challenge of finding suitable missionary volunteers. It notes that while opportunities for missionary work are vast, there are not enough volunteers to fill positions on the mission field. It attributes this shortage to modern secular culture that discourages long-term commitment and sacrifice. The document then outlines the qualities needed for effective missionary work, including diligent Bible study, strong Christian character, integrity, a positive attitude, and a willingness to endure hardship and criticism. It provides examples from missionary pioneers who exhibited these qualities and were willing to sacrifice all for the cause of missions.
The document discusses how the 19th century was the greatest century of Christian missions and expansion. It summarizes that in 1801, Christianity was concentrated in Europe and North America, with Asia and Africa largely unevangelized. However, by 1900 Christianity had spread to become a worldwide religion. It attributes this to the pioneering missionaries of the 19th century who overcame immense hardships and obstacles to spread the gospel despite limited resources. The document urges Christians to learn from these missionaries' effective strategies and sacrifices if the 21st century is to see similar growth.
This document provides 17 reasons for why the evangelization of non-Christians (the heathen) is important. It argues that all people are lost and in need of salvation due to humanity's sinful nature. It cites biblical passages stating that Jesus is the only way to salvation and that he commands followers to spread the gospel message to all nations. The document emphasizes that God loves all people and that the whole world belongs to him. It concludes by stating that the Lord is worthy of all praise, worship, and honor.
Samuel Zwemer and the Mission to MuslimsPeter Hammond
Samuel Zwemer (1867-1951) was a Dutch-American missionary who dedicated his life to bringing Christianity to Muslims. He grew up in a missionary family and felt called from a young age to take the gospel to followers of Islam. After facing rejection from missionary boards, he co-founded the American-Arabian Mission. Throughout his career, he traveled extensively in the Middle East, wrote prolifically advocating for missions to Muslims, and trained future missionaries. Though he saw few Muslim converts himself, Zwemer laid important groundwork for later missionary efforts and helped mobilize Christians worldwide to reach Muslims with the gospel.
William Tyndale & The Battle for The BiblePeter Hammond
1) William Tyndale was burned at the stake in 1536 for translating the Bible into English from the original Greek and Hebrew.
2) Two other Protestant bishops, Hugh Latimer and Nicolas Ridley, were burned at the stake in 1555 at Balliol College, Oxford for their Protestant faith, along with Archbishop Thomas Cranmer four months later.
3) Their martyrdom served to inspire further calls for Bible translation into English and the Protestant Reformation in England, though over 450 years later their sacrifices are often forgotten.
1666 and the Occultic Roots of the New World DisorderPeter Hammond
This document summarizes the occult roots and teachings of Sabbatai Zevi, a 17th century Jewish rabbi who declared himself the messiah. Some key points:
1) Zevi taught that salvation comes through sin and redemption is achieved through deception and breaking religious laws. He encouraged sexual immorality and breaking dietary laws.
2) Zevi's teachings, known as Sabbateanism, spread rapidly among Jews but he was rejected by many rabbis. When threatened with death by the Sultan, he converted to Islam.
3) Sabbatean followers believed conversion was part of Zevi's messianic mission and continued secret Sabbatean practices after
George Whitefield - Calvinist, Evangelist and RevivalistPeter Hammond
George Whitefield (1714-1770) was an influential English Anglican priest and leader in the 18th century Protestant evangelical movement known as the Great Awakening. He was renowned as an eloquent preacher who drew immense crowds across Britain and America through his passionate open-air sermons. Whitefield helped spark revivals of Christianity in both countries and established orphanages and schools. Though he had theological differences with John Wesley, the two were ultimately reconciled and helped spread evangelical Christianity. Whitefield preached an extraordinary number of sermons in his lifetime and traveled extensively despite poor health, establishing himself as one of the most important religious figures of his era.
The document discusses the importance and power of prayer in the church and for Christians. It notes that prayer meetings used to be a central part of church life but have declined in many Western churches today. When the author was first converted, their local church had vibrant weekly prayer meetings, men's meetings, and outreach events, but these were suspended due to conflicts with television viewing. The document advocates that prayer, studying the Bible, and evangelism should be core priorities and activities for all Christians and churches. It provides many examples from the Bible of the emphasis on prayer and how prayer strengthened the early church.
Oliver Cromwell the Protector and the English Civil WarPeter Hammond
Oliver Cromwell was a dedicated Puritan and military leader who played a pivotal role in the English Civil War and overthrow of the monarchy. As a member of Parliament, he helped dismantle the King's oppressive powers and supported religious freedom. Cromwell went on to select and train a highly disciplined New Model Army that proved victorious against Royalist forces. However, he opposed Presbyterian attempts to impose religious uniformity, believing in liberty of conscience. This led to further conflict and ultimately the trial and execution of King Charles I in 1649, with Cromwell establishing himself as Lord Protector afterwards.
The document provides an overview of the Book of Acts, describing it as an account of the origin and expansion of the early Christian church. It summarizes that Acts shows Christianity conquering pagan cultures through the power of the Holy Spirit, acting as a missionary manual. Key events and figures in the spread of Christianity are highlighted, obstacles to communicating the gospel cross-culturally are examined, and the church's strategies for successful missionary work are outlined.

9. And radical Muslim extremists are the most vicious
terrorists, hijackers, kidnappers, suicide bombers and
assassins in the world today.
10. MUSLIM MYTHS
Yet Muslims, and their public relations agents and
apologists, claim that Islam is a great religion of
learning and tolerance.
11. I have heard Muslim Imams of the Islamic Propagation
Centre International declare in the mosque in Durban that
Muslims are “more Jewish than the Jews and more
Christian than the Christians!”
12. All over the world, repeatedly, Muslims claim Islam
to be superior to Christianity. “You Christians are
so divided. We Muslims are all united. You have so
many denominations, but we Muslims are all one.
In Islam there is perfect unity.”
13. And “Christianity
is a religion for
the Whites only,
Islam is the Black
man's religion.”;
“There is no
racism in Islam,
we are all one in
Islam.”
14. “You Christians
have so many
Bibles, and you
keep changing the
Bible, but we
Muslims have only
one Quran, and it
has never been
changed.”
15. JUST THE FACTS
Slavery, Terrorism and
Islam exposes the
falsehood of these and
other prevalent myths
propagated about Islam.
Far from Islam being a
great religion of learning,
tolerance and peace, this
book presents the
historical facts, and sets
the record straight.
16. Muhammad
declared that if other
books confirmed
what was in the
Quran then they
didn't need them.
And if the books did
not confirm what
was in the Quran
they didn't want
them. So the order
was: Burn them!
17. The Muslims burned libraries all across North
Africa and the Middle East.
They burned the library of Alexandria - the largest
library in the world at that time. It probably
included original copies of the Bible and other
priceless manuscripts.
18. A TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION
Over 3200 churches were destroyed or converted
into mosques during the first century of Islamic
Jihad alone.
19. During the Muslim invasion of Syria in AD 634
thousands of Christians were massacred.
20. As Mesopotamia was
conquered between
AD 635 and 643
many churches and
monasteries were
ransacked, and
ministers and
Christians slain. In
the conquest of Egypt
AD 640 and 641, the
towns of Behnesa,
Fayum, Nikiu and
Aboit were all put to
the sword.
21. When the Muslims invaded Cyprus, they looted and
pillaged homes and churches and massacred much of the
population. In North Africa, when Tripoli was captured in
AD 643, all the Jews and Christians were forced to hand
their women and children over as slaves.
22. When Carthage was captured, it was burned to the
ground and most of its inhabitants slaughtered.
23. • Beginning in AD 712 the Muslim armies invaded
India. They smashed and demolished temples,
plundered palaces, slaughtered millions of Indian
men and enslaved the women and children.
25. “THE BLOODIEST STORY IN
HISTORY”
Will Durant in his The Story of Civilisations,
describes the Muslim invasion of India as “probably
the bloodiest story in history.”
The North Western region of India is called the
Hindu Kush (“the slaughter of the Hindu”) as a
reminder of the vast number of Hindu slaves who
died while being marched across the Afghan
Mountains to the Muslim slave markets in Central
Asia.
27. Shah Jahan is remembered as the builder of the Taj Mahal.
What few Westerners know is that the builder of the Taj
Mahal launched 48 military campaigns against in just 30
years. In AD 1628 he killed all his male relatives.
28. Shah Jahan had 5,000
concubines in his harem but
also indulged in incestuous
sex with his daughters.
In just one town, Banares,
Jahan destroyed 76 Hindu
temples. He also demolished
Christian churches at Agra
and Lahore.
29. When he captured Hugh, a Portuguese enclave near
Calcutta, he had 10,000 inhabitants “blown up with
powder, drowned in water or burned by fire.”
Another 4,000 were enslaved and offered Islam or
death. Those who refused to convert were killed.
30. SPAIN UNDER THE MOORS
Neither was Spain under
the Muslim Moors the
jewel of Islamic tolerance
that it is often purported
to be. In AD 920 all the
inhabitants of Muez were
put to the sword.
Cordova, Zarajoza and
Merida were burned to
the ground, with all adult
males executed and all
women and children
enslaved.
31. In AD 1066 all the
Jews of Grenada
were slaughtered.
In AD 1126, all the
Christians of
Grenada were
deported to
Morocco.
32. In AD 1009, Kalif Hakem of Egypt ordered the destruction
of the Holy Sepulchre and all Christian places of worship in
Jerusalem. Christians were persecuted cruelly and pilgrims
were attacked.Thousands of churches were destroyed.
34. On 29 May, AD
1453, waves of
Turkish soldiers
swept into
Constantinople,
the greatest city
in the world at
that time, and
put it to the
sword
35. Priceless libraries
and irreplaceable
works of art were
burned, the
population
slaughtered,
even in the
Hagia Sophia,
the greatest Christian
church in the world
at that time.
36. For centuries the Turks
demanded an annual
“blood levy” of
Christian boys.
Parents were forced
to hand over one
out of every five
Christian boys for
service in the
Sultan’s army as
janissaries.
37. THE FORGOTTEN HOLOCAUSTS
Slavery, Terrorism and
Islam documents
hundreds of massacres
of Christian populations
by Muslim rulers.
For example: In 1860
over 12,000 Christians
were slaughtered in
Lebanon.
38. In 1876 14,700 Bulgarians were murdered by the
Turks. 200,000 Armenian Christians were
slaughtered by the Turks in Bayazid in 1877. And
in 1915 the Turks massacred over 1.5 million
Armenian Christians.
39. As recently as September 1922 the Turkish army
destroyed the ancient city of Smyrna with its
300,000 Christian population.
40. INTOLERANT & INCONSISTENT
Despite Islam proclaiming
itself as a religion of
tolerance, no Muslim
countries allow freedom of
religion.
Despite the Saudi Arabian
government funding the
building of thousands of
mosques in Christian lands,
no church or synagogue is
tolerated in Saudi Arabia.
41. Nor can any Saudi Arabian citizen be a Christian.
43. It is inconsistent of
Islam to insist on the
cutting off of the
hand of a thief when
Muhammad and his
successors, the
Caliphas, engaged in
wholesale theft,
raiding caravans,
kidnapping hostages
for ransom and
looting homes.
44. INTELLECTUAL DISHONESTY
The persecution of Christians by Muslims has
become a taboo subject in Western circles. Over
fourteen centuries of religious discrimination and
persecution, causing the suffering, oppression,
murder and enslavement of countless millions has
been buried under a thick whitewash of myths of
“Islamic tolerance”.
45. The deceit, cowardice and silence of all too many
Western journalists and academics continues to
facilitate the religious discrimination and
persecutions of radical Muslims to this day.
46. The intellectual dishonesty of those Westerners
who engage in academic gymnastics to justify the
invasion of other people's lands; the looting,
pillaging, raping, murdering and enslaving of whole
peoples, needs to be exposed.
47. The hypocrisy of those who justify the military aggression
of Muslims, but condemn those who inflicted defeats upon
these Muslim invaders needs to be challenged.
48. The fiction that “Jihad has never been an
aggressive, but only a defensive concept”,
should be dismissed with the contempt that such
deception deserves.
What were Saudi Arabians defending in Spain?
49. DOUBLE TALK
When Islam defines a refusal to submit to Sharia
law under Islam as aggression, and when they
define peace as submission to Islam, then we must
know that we are not talking the same language.
50. In the USA, at various airport chapels, I've noticed the
increasing practice of providing prayer mats and qiblahs to
indicate the direction Muslims must face to pray towards
Mecca. Qurans and quantities of glossy publications printed
by the Saudi Arabian Embassy to promote Islam overflow
the tables at these chapels.
51. • Even at Epcot Centre in Disney World, in their Progress Through The
Ages, there is a section praising the religion of Islam, which “kept
learning alive” during the Dark Ages!
52. • Perhaps burning libraries provided some light, but
the destruction of millions of books is hardly the
way to “keep learning alive!”
53. Numerous films from Hollywood have portrayed
Christians as benighted, closed-minded bigots and
the Muslim characters as compassionate, intelligent
and enlightened.
54. There has been a
relentless barrage of
anti-Christian bias and
pro-Islamic propaganda
generated by
Hollywood filmmakers,
liberal journalists and
college professors.
As Karl Marx declared:
“The first battlefield is
the rewriting of
history!”
55. DIVISIONS AND DISSENSION
Despite Muslim
claims to the
contrary, the unity
of Muslims is more
of a thin veneer
than a reality.
Muslims are divided
into three mega
blocks: The Sunni
(“one of the path”),
56. the Shi'ites (those who believe that Muhammad's son-in-
law Ali was the true successor to Muhammad),
58. These three main blocks can be broken down into
literally thousands of identifiable groupings with
major variations and distinctives.
59. • One of the more obvious evidences of the divisions within Islam are
the many wars waged between Muslims. Since the “Wars of
Apostasy” (that raged during the Caliph Abu Bakr's brief rule
following the death of Muhammad) to more recent years, the Muslim
world has been torn by revolutions and assassinations.
60. Just since 1948, the 21 Arab countries have suffered over 40
wars, 70 successful revolutions, at least 80 unsuccessful
revolutions and the murder of 40 Heads of State.
61. In the Arab world, revolutions and assassinations
have been the most prevalent means of political
expression and of attaining power.
62. The only Arab
country that was
ever a democracy
was Lebanon,
when Christians
were the majority
there.
63. However, after the Syrian invasion and intensified persecution of
Christians led many to flee, and the Muslims to gain the majority,
democracy in Lebanon was extinguished.
64. CHANGES IN THE QURAN
As to the myth that “there is only one Quran and it
has never been changed”, Slavery, Terrorism and
Islam exposes that as falsehood as well.
Both the times of prayer and the direction of
prayer were changed from the original Quran.
65. Originally Muhammad had declared that it was
Allah's will that all Muslims pray towards
Jerusalem. After the Jews refused to accept his
“prophethood”, Muhammad changed the
direction of prayer from Jerusalem to Mecca.
66. DESTROYING QURANS
The third Calipha Uthman forcibly standardised the many
variations of the Quran by demanding that all versions and
copies of the Quran had to be surrendered - under pain
of death - for destruction. At the end, Uthman issued a
new, revised, standardised, version of the Quran which
endures to this day.
67. MANY VERSIONS
As to there being only one version of the Quran, I have on my shelf a
number of Qurans, several of which I obtained from the Islamic
Propagation Centre International, including the translation and
commentary by Yusuf Ali and the translation by Muhammad
Pickthall.
68. There are also the translations by Maulana
Muhammad Ali, Ahmed Ali, J. M. Rodwell,
A. J. Arberry, M. H. Shakir, N. J. Dawood
and Muhammad Zafulla Khan.
69. The differences between these
various translations of the Quran
can be quite interesting. For
example the permitting of
plunder in Surah 24:29:
Rodwell translates it as “there
shall be no harm in your
entering (unoccupied)
houses…for the supply of your
needs”; M. Z. Khan's translation
adds “wherein are your goods.”
70. Dawood inserts “to seek
shelter.” M. H. Shakir
and M. M. Ali insert an
ambiguous “wherein you
have your necessities.”
Ahmed Ali writes “where
there is some convenience
for you.”
Whereas Arberry has a
vague “wherein
enjoyment is for you.”
71. Surah 4:34 (or:38, some versions of the Quran vary
slightly as to their verse numbers), Dawood,
Arberry and Rodwell translate as “as for
(disobedient wives) beat them” whereas M. M. Ali
and M. Z. Khan prefer a more obscure translation:
“chastise them.”
72. Some Muslim translators such as M.
M. Ali tried to soften Muhammad's
savagery by retranslating verses
such as Surah 8:12: “Strike off
their heads. Strike off their
fingertips!” with “smite…their
necks…and every fingertip.”
73. Dawood translates Surah 8:68: “A
prophet may not take captives until
he has fought and triumphed in the
land.” However, Rodwell uses these
words in his translation: “…until he
has made a slaughter in the earth.”
Plainly the assertion that there is
only one Quran, and the Quran has
never been changed, is false.
74. ISLAMIC RACISM
Similarly, the claim that
“there is no racism in
Islam, we are all one…”
is a blatant lie. From the
very inception of Islam,
and for its entire history,
Muslims have made up
the largest numbers of
slave traders and
engaged in the greatest
slave trading
campaigns in history.
75. Even today, slavery
continues in many
parts of the Muslim
world.
Just about the only
places in the world
today where you
will still find slavery
practised are in the
Muslim world.
76. Muhammad was a slave owner, and he traded in slaves.
Throughout the Hadith, Black people are referred to as
slaves. In fact, in the Arabic language it is impossible to
distinguish between a Black person and a slave.
77. The same word used for a slave is the word for a Black
man. In the Hadith Muhammad is quoted as referring to
Black people as “raisin heads.”
78. Several years ago when I
was having a debate with
Ahmed Deedat at the
Islamic Propagation
Centre International in
Durban, Deedat tried to
change the subject to get
out of a sticky corner he
had painted himself in to
by some theological
gymnastics.
79. “Kafirs!” Deedat shouted “that's what the White Christians called the
Black people when they came here to South Africa: Kafirs! That's
what the Whites called the Black people: Kafirs!”
80. For some time Deedat continued to try to shout this
refrain and change the subject, injecting some kind
of racial animosity in the mixed group which was
listening to this debate.
81. So I asked him the question: “But isn't 'Kafir' an Arabic
word? From the Quran? Isn't ‘Kafir’the Arabic word for
infidel? Wasn't it the Muslim slave traders who gave the
people of Africa the term ‘Kafirs?’” Ahmed Deedat
promptly changed the subject and never answered the
question. Nor did he revisit the issue.
82. THE ISLAMIC SLAVE TRADE
As Slavery, Terrorism and Islam
documents, at least 28 million
Africans were enslaved in the
Muslim Middle East. As at
least 80% of those captured by
Muslim slaver raiders were
calculated to have died before
reaching the slave markets, it is
estimated that the death toll
from the 14 centuries of
Muslim slave raids into Africa
could have been over 112
million.
83. When added to the
number of those sold in
the slave markets, the
total number of African
victims of the Trans
Sahara and East African
slave trade could be
significantly higher than
140 million people.
84. There were many children born to
slaves in the Americas, and
millions of their descendants are
citizens in Brazil and the USA to
this day, but very few
descendants of the slaves that
ended up in the Middle East
survive.
85. Most of the male slaves destined for the Middle East
slave bazaars were castrated and most of the
children born to the women were killed at birth - in
order to maintain Arab numerical supremacy.
86. CHRISTIAN ROOTS IN AFRICA
As to the Muslim claim
that “Christianity is a
religion for the Whites
only, Islam is the Black
mans’ religion.”
African Christians point
out that
Christianity
predated Islam
in Africa
by 6 centuries.
87. St. Mark, the author of
the Gospel of Mark,
planted the Church in
Egypt, in AD 62, and died
for Christ in Alexandria.
89. Acts chapter 8 records the baptism of the treasurer of Queen Candice
of Sudan, by the deacon Phillip. From the 1st Century the Church
was firmly established in Egypt, Sudan and Abyssinia.
90. Christianity came to Africa before it even went to Europe.
It was an African, Simon of Cyrene, who helped carry the
Cross of Christ.
91. Some of the greatest
names in early
Church history were
Africans, including
St. Augustine
of Hippo,
Clement of
Alexandria,
Tertullian,
Origen and
Athanasius. Athanasius
92. AFRICA'S AGONY
However, the Muslim armies wiped out the indigenous
African Church that flourished in the countries which
became Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco.
93. Through the centuries the Christians in Egypt,
Sudan and Abyssinia steadfastly resisted centuries
of Islamic Jihad and persecution
94. Many hundreds of Christians have been wounded or killed in violent
attacks on Christian churches and neighbourhoods, especially in Iraq
and Egypt.
95.
96.
97.
98.
99. Through the centuries the Christians in Egypt, Sudan and Abyssinia
steadfastly resisted centuries of Islamic Jihad and persecution
100. Far from Islam being the Black man's religion, it has been
the greatest affliction the Black people have ever endured
through the 14 centuries of Islamic slave trade the
oppression of Sharia law.
101. Today, despite
Muslims being
only one fifth of
the world's
population,
Muslim armies
and terrorist
groups are
involved in 95%
of the world's
conflicts.
102. CULTURAL DISASTER
It is no wonder that William Muir
(1819 - 1905) one of the greatest
orientalists of all time, concluded
at the end of his long and
distinguished career: “The sword
of Muhammad and the Quran are
the most fatal enemies of
civilisation, liberty and truth
which the world has ever
known…an unmitigated cultural
disaster parading as God's will…”
103. To this, many journalists
and professors will claim
that Islam was tremendously
advanced scientifically and
medically while Europe
languished in the Dark
Ages.
However, as French
historian Ernest Renan
observed: “Science and
philosophy flourished
during the first half of the
Middle Ages, but it was not
by reason of Islam; it was
in spite of Islam.
104. Not a…philosopher or
scholar escaped
persecution…To give Islam
the credit for…so many
illustrious thinkers who
passed half their life in
prison, in forced hiding, in
disgrace, whose books
were burned and whose
writings were suppressed
by their theological
authority, is as if one were
to ascribe to the
inquisition…a whole
scientific development
which it tried to prevent.”
105. PLUNDERING PROGRESS
• What most of these propagandists for Islam choose
to forget is that the Arab armies conquered the
advanced Christian civilisations in North Africa and
the Middle East. So, yes, by reason of plunder and
occupation, the Islamic Empire was enriched and
benefited immeasurably.
106. • But almost all of the
scientific and
technological
advancements, and
almost all of the
hard work, were the
work of Christian
slaves and dhimmis.
107. "How dreadful are
the curses which
Mohammedanism
lays on its votaries!
Besides the
fanatical frenzy,
which is as
dangerous in a man
as hydrophobia in a
dog, there is this
fearful fatalistic
apathy.
108. The effects are apparent in many countries,
improvident habits, slovenly systems of
agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce,
and insecurity of property exist wherever
the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
109. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of
its grace and refinement the next of its
dignity and sanctity.
110. The fact that in
Mohammedan law
every woman must
belong to some man
as his absolute
property, either as a
child, a wife, or a
concubine, must
delay the final
extinction of slavery
until the faith of
Islam has ceased to
be a great power
among men.
111. Individual Moslems may show splendid
qualities, but the influence of the religion
paralyses the social development of those
who follow it.
112. No stronger retrograde force exists in
the world. Far from being moribund,
Mohammedanism is a militant and
proselytizing faith.
114. and were it not that Christianity is
sheltered in the strong arms of science, the
science against which it had vainly
struggled,
the
civilization of
modern
Europe might
fall, as fell
the
civilization of
ancient
Rome."
117. • Faced as we are by the massive bloc of Islamic
nations, and the vast petro-dollar funding of Islamic
Propagation Centres, with their building of
thousands of mosques and madrasses throughout
Europe, Africa and the Americas, what hope is
there for the future?
118. 9-11
• First of all, the Scripture is clear: “The desert tribes
will bow before Him and His enemies will lick the
dust…all kings will bow down to Him and all
nations will serve Him.” Psalm 72:9-11
119. • That's the 9/11 of the Scriptures. Probably the most
foolish thing Muslim radicals have ever done was
attacking the financial heart of America with the
terror attacks on the New York World Trade Centre
and Washington with hijacked aircraft.
120. • Since September the
11th 2001, more
critical books on
Islam have been
written than in
previous centuries.
• And we have begun to
see the first cracks in
the monolithic empire
of Islam.
121. TYRANTS OVERTHROWN
• The Taliban, probably the most radical Islamic
regime in the world, in Afghanistan, was toppled by
US forces.
122. • For the first time free
elections were held in
Afghanistan.
• Then Saddam Hussein's
regime in Iraq, the military
superpower of the Muslim
world was defeated by the
American and Allied forces
in a matter of weeks.
• The Americans then also
organised the first free
elections in Iraq's history.
123. • Also, in the first free
elections in Nigerian
history, a Christian
president came to power.
124. • For 38 years Nigeria
suffered under a
succession of Islamic
dictators. Nigeria
hosted the Islam in
Africa Conference and
was recognised as an
officially Islamic state
by the World Islamic
Organisation.
The Late Abacha
125. • Although Sharia law continues to be enforced in the
12 Northern provinces of Nigeria, with hundreds of
churches having been burned, and thousands of
Christians massacred, the population of Nigeria
has plainly rejected Islamic rule and a Christian
president is in power.
126. MORE DEFEATS FOR ISLAM
• Next in 2005 the
National Islamic Front
Government of Sudan
which had waged Jihad
against the Christian
Black South, seeking to
impose its policies of
Islamisation and
Arabisation, was forced
to agree to a cease-fire
and signed a
Comprehensive Peace
Agreement.
127. • This peace treaty granted autonomy
to the South, & led to a Referendum
where the South chose
Independence!
128. Then, Malawi, which had for ten years been ruled by
a Muslim president, elected a Christian president.
129. SHAKING FOUNDATIONS
• Also, The Passion
of the Christ film
was shown
throughout the
Muslim world to
overflowing theatres.
Never before had
any Christian
medium impacted
the lives of tens of
millions of Muslims.
130. • Missionaries in the
Middle East
rejoiced that more
people had seen
The Passion in a
single day in their
city than they had
been able to show
the Jesus film in
the previous four
years of full-time
missionary work!
131. • While the Jesus film was illegal and could only be
shown secretly, at great risk.
• The Passion was being openly screened in the
shopping mall cinemas!
132. • This, taken along with the phenomenal response to SAT-7,
a Christian mission broadcasting Gospel programmes in
Arabic throughout the Middle East, is also unprecedented.
133. • Then we should mention the Cedar Revolution in
Lebanon, and Libya's sudden renouncing of
terrorism and seeking to co-operate with the USA.
134. • Taken together with the facts that: there are more
missionaries focused on the Muslim world today
than ever before in history, more books written on
Islam from a Christian perspective than ever before,
and there is also more prayer focused on the
Muslim world than ever before.
135. • All of these factors considered together represent a
series of seismic events shaking the very
foundations of Islam.
136. THE THREAT OF FREEDOM
• Islam cannot survive freedom.
The Quran cannot survive
intense scrutiny and critical
investigation. In this
technological age, Islam's days
are numbered.
• Although they can hijack
Western technology to use
against the West, the
foundations of Islam are rotten
to the core and cannot stand.
137. The Scriptures declare: “At the Name of Jesus every
knee will bow…every tongue confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord…” Philippians 2:10-11.
138. The day will come when the earth will be as full of
the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the seas
are full of water (Habakkuk 2:14).
139. • Yet it is also true that
“My people are
destroyed from lack
of knowledge”
(Hosea 4:6).
• There is a tremendous
ignorance of Islam and
most Christians are
failing to evangelise
their Muslim
neighbours.
140. • That is why this book,
Slavery, Terrorism and
Islam is needed at this
time.
• We need to
understand
Islam and we
need to
evangelise
Muslims.
141. • “The harvest is
plentiful, but
the workers are
few. Ask the
Lord of the
harvest
therefore to
send out
workers into
His harvest
field.”
Matthew 9:39
