The best way to win a Muslim’s trust is to show the love of Christ to him. Jesus said, ‘Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect‘ (Matthew 5:44-48).
It is not the Muslims but the ideology that they follow is the problem. Muslims are prisoners of it bound by Satan and thus spiritually blind (2 Corinthians 4:4). Let us show Christ-likeness. ‘Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love’ (1 John 4:8). Love will not be satisfied with anything less than the total salvation of its object.
"Pray for Muslims"
Our burden of prayer should be like Paul (Romans 10:1; 9:1-3). It is not us but the Holy Spirit who convicts and wins the minds and hearts for Jesus. Ask a Muslim, ‘May I pray with you?’ Often the reply is yes. They do believe in Jesus as the Prophet, healer and miracle worker. As Christians we need to remember them in our prayer and supplications and ask for guidance to share the gospel. ‘Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up’ (Galatians 6:9).
