The voice of truth led me to discovering the true faith.

I’m Mostafa from Morocco, and I’m 35 years old. I come from a strict Muslim family, who always do what is required of them to attain Allah’s pleasure and to get closer to him. Growing up in this family, surrounded by all of the religious laws, made me someone who believed that Islam was the only true religion. I was convinced that anyone who believed in any other religion was destined for hell. However, when I went to study in Germany, away from religion, this way of thinking changed. I was welcomed and respected by the Germans , and found myself thinking, “how could a just God put these people in hell?”… for the idea that God is rich in mercy was something I had heard many times before. Then a discussion with my friends on this topic made me really focus on God’s mercy. For, what is the fate of those who have never ever heard about God? Then one of them spoke up and said that Islam is a religion we didn’t choose, rather that it is something we just grew up assuming to be true. This made me stop and ask myself, “Did I actually choose Islam? Or was it just because my fathers and their fathers followed it that it seemed to be the obvious truth? If I had been born in a different country, surrounded by a different religion, would I have chosen that other religion and said that it was the obvious truth?”

The conversation took a different turn, to the point that an atheist appeared among my friends and he shared with us that Islam was the reason he no longer believed in God. This shocked me, so I asked him what made him stop believing in Islam and choose atheism??? So he told us about the mistakes that are in the Qu’ran and the incorrect narratives found within Islamic thinking. He also said that he would send me videos that would further clarify everything he had just talked about. So he sent them to me, and I watched them over and over again until I understood what I was hearing. This led me to studying and searching until I heard about Jesus, His teachings, His miracles, and His incredible life, the likes of which have never happened before or since. When the objective person stops and contemplates the life of Jesus, he will find that it is unique. For Jesus, the Prince of Peace, did not carry a sword, did not invade or conquer lands, nor did he take people into captivity.

I had the opportunity to communicate with Miracle’s North Africa page via WhatsApp, and was surprised to find that the person I was talking with was from Morocco, just like me! This made me incredibly happy, and made the whole discovery process easier, because he understood what I needed to know and what I was searching for, and gave me clear answers to all of my questions regarding Jesus and Christianity.

After lots of long conversations, and passion for reading the gospels, I found everything about Jesus beautiful and wonderful. My admiration for Jesus, the gospel and the real change He causes inside everyone who believes in Him increased. I accepted Jesus in my heart, and now I get to experience the real change I read about, and the fruit of the holy spirit is appearing in my life. I have certainty that I have a new life in Christ, even though all the other religions don’t give it’s believers certainty of life after death. Yet, Christ knew all the glory, and gives all who believe in Him certainty!
