sacred books, would, it is foretold, be made to<br />
stand against Satan, and between him and the<br />
evil one, there would be a mighty struggle, the<br />
final struggle between good and evil. For this<br />
spiritual fight, Satan would bring all his hosts<br />
into the field and gather together all his power<br />
and make use of all his resources. Never shall a<br />
fight like this have occurred between good and<br />
evil before. For, on that day, the tricks of Satan<br />
and the means by which he can mislead people,<br />
would all be exhausted. After a mighty struggle,<br />
the Messiah of God would drive back the powers<br />
of darkness. <strong>The</strong> glory, majesty, unity and<br />
holiness of God would be proclaimed upon<br />
earth and would continue to be so declared for<br />
a thousand years — the seventh day of the Holy<br />
Books of God. <strong>The</strong>n will be the end. I am that<br />
Messiah — let him who wills, accept me.<br />
My journey<br />
to Islam<br />
My journey to<br />
the Truth<br />
(Return to contents)<br />
By Paul Anthony Delaforce<br />
I was born in 1983 into a Roman Catholic<br />
(RC) family. My Mother was RC and my father<br />
was Church of England (Anglican). I have 2 Sisters<br />
and 3 Brothers (I'm the youngest of 6). I<br />
regularly attended a RC Church, every Sunday<br />
and every Holy Day of Obligation and attended<br />
a RC Primary School, Secondary School and<br />
Sixth Form Centre. I was baptised, completed<br />
First Holy Communion and Confirmation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Church was my life from birth until I<br />
stopped attending Church in approximately<br />
1999, at the age of 16/17 years. I have always<br />
had a strong faith in God, regularly prayed and<br />
over the past four years and been relooking into<br />
Religion and finding the Truth.<br />
From a Roman Catholic background, I had<br />
an understanding about the Bible, God, Jesus,<br />
Mary and the Prophets — Adam, Abraham, Moses,<br />
Noah, Joseph. Previously, when I asked<br />
questions to a Priest or a Christian about Jesus<br />
I Shall Love All Mankind.<br />
being God’s Son, the Trinity, the Bible being<br />
written by several men over thousands of years,<br />
different versions of the Bible, the Crucifixion of<br />
Jesus, the dominance of <strong>The</strong> Roman Catholic<br />
Church, I was always told: “it’s a mystery”. I was<br />
told “don’t question because it’s in the Bible”,<br />
“that’s Christianity”.<br />
Islam seemed to have the answer to these<br />
questions and many more, which I had been<br />
asking for several years. Over the past 4 years I<br />
have been researching Islam – online, websites,<br />
and I read several Islamic books and recently I<br />
read <strong>The</strong> Holy Qur’an (in English translation).<br />
Before my 35th Birthday in March <strong>2018</strong>, I<br />
recited the Shahadah (Sunni) at <strong>The</strong> Nottingham<br />
Islam Information Point (NIIP).<br />
Over the past 5 – 6 months, I discovered Lahore<br />
Ahmadiyya U.K and my Islamic journey<br />
continues — learning to pray, learning Arabic,<br />
growing Islamic history, knowledge and understanding.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is no God but Allah, and Muhammad<br />
is the Messenger of Allah.<br />

Quran’s View of Torah and<br />
Gospel<br />
By Ejaz Naqvi, MD<br />

(Note: This is an adaptation from my book, <strong>The</strong><br />
Three Abrahamic Testaments: How the Torah,<br />
Gospel and the Qur’an Hold the Keys to Healing<br />
Our Fears)<br />
Contrary to the popular belief, the Quran holds<br />
the Torah and Gospel in high esteem. Muslims<br />
are well aware that the Quran calls itself ‘guidance’<br />
and ‘light’ (Nur) and Al-Furqan (the criterion<br />
between right and wrong). But did you<br />
know the Quran refers to Torah and Gospel in<br />
the same way? It should really not be surprising<br />
because the same God sent down all of them.
