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 />

Click here for link to article.<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.
