In the name of God, all praise is due to Him, peace and blessing be upon His Messenger Muhammad son of Abdullah the messenger of God, I bare witness that there is no God but God the one and only and that Muhammad is the messenger of God, I belief that the Messiah son of Mary who called Jesus Christ is a servant of God and his messenger and Mary mother of Messiah was a supporter of truth and they both used to eat food in order not to pass away, they didn't ate more or less, I belief in heaven and hell, I belief in fate all of it good and bad.

Praise be to God for his blessing of Islam and its enough blessing; I will give thanks to Him for it for the rest of my life.
Since I converted to Islam about ۱۹ years ago, and Nazarenes are still trying with all their best and all temptations to get me back to Nazarene.
Although, I'm living a very modest living, I don't have a car or a big apartment nor a reasonable balance in the bank, I didn't went to hajj until now and I have approached ٥۹ years old, but all their temptations didn't work with me.
For one reason:
that I can't leave Islam and go back to Nazarene.

Because, Nazarene is based on doctrines which have no source in their book, fabricated by the patriarchs as they called the ecumenical councils and if it were in their religion, they weren't hold councils, disagreed, forbade and expelled each other ... .
While Islam is stable since the days of the messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions to this day.

Also, their book wasn't exist in the days of Christ (peace be upon him) but it was assembled in Council of Nicene three centuries after Christ, while the Qur'an is from the prophet Muhammad to his companions until Osman write it and distribute copies of it in the Muslim countries and they are the same to this day.


Also, in Nazarene the religion depends on the priesthood since the birth of the child to make (a baptism) for him to be a Nazarene, confession of

his sins to be forgiven by the priest, marriage by the priest, dying in front of the priest to cover him with oil to forgive him and after death the priest make for him a mass to forgive him.
As well as, (Indulgence and Purgatory)
While in Islam the religion is between the servant and his Lord, no mediator, no authority for anyone on anything, the whole authority is for God only the one and only.

And in the Nazarene the patriarch still is the source of legislation and still legislating, because the religion hasn't completed yet and still lacks a lot, unlike Islam, which was completed in the life of the prophet Muhammad in his goodbye hajj.
Before days of his death, Islam was completed with all human needs and the writing of the Qur'an which contains a religion, provisions, legislations to the Day of Resurrection, this is the complete religion and the complete book, the book of God, the only right divine book on the earth.

Also, the Nazarene sects are different in their doctrines in Christ, The Holy Spirit, Mary, arranging trinity, the infallibility of the pope and patriarchal, secrets of the church, on the basis of these differences they don't marry each other, they get divorced from other sects and they re-evangelize the person again because, the sects don't recognize the priesthood of other sects and the non recognizing of the priesthood is an infidel for each sect.


And, I did not find all this in Islam, no matter how different ideas between groups and sects, because the sources is one and there is not a priesthood, for this reason and the other reasons I choose Islam in a fully convinced ...
Read my book ''Secrets of the Church'' to know more about these points.
I intended to write a book about this experiments but I was busy by writing other book.

And my dear brother / Akram Hassan gave me this honor to review this valuable book and to forward it.


In fact I found it a valuable book reflects what I think and much more, included many valuable points deserves to think about from every Muslim and Nazarene, because it's not only an invitation for the

Nazarenes but also it's for each weak faith of Muslims, to make sure that he's right, and to say with me: praise be to God for his blessing of Islam and it's enough blessing.

I ask God to benefit by the author, Mr. Akram Hassan and make it in his balance of good deeds, and everyone who works to share it to the day that we will meet Him in, Almighty.
And we ask you to ask God to forgive us and all the Muslims, to make hajj, and to bring us together with our Prophet in paradise.
May the blessings and peace of God be upon him; all praise is due to God, Lord of the worlds.

Introduction of the author

Praise is due to God, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge in God from the evil within ourselves, and from our bad deeds. Whoever God guides will never be led astray, and whoever God leads astray will never find guidance. I bear witness there is no God but God the one and only, Almighty on His forbearing after His knowing, Almighty on His forgiveness after His capability, Almighty unbeatable, invincible, not killed, not crossed, created Jesus without father, created Eve without mother, created Adam from dust, I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger provided by Moses, give tidings by Jesus he was Abraham's prayer, peace be upon him and them all.

The reasons for being Muslim and not Nazarene are so many, I will mention it if God wills in this book and I ask God Almighty to accept it in heaven and earth, and to make it in my balance of good deeds on that day when I will be in my grave clothes ...

The aim of writing this book is:
like other of my previous books, it is a replay to the fierce missionary campaigns against Islam and Muslims ...

Some of the Christian brothers may wonder about the title of the book:
"WHY I AM A MUSLIM AND I AM NOT A NAZARENE?''

So they will say:
it was due to the author to name it "WHY I AM A MUSLIM AND I AM NOT A CHRISTIAN?''
Because we are Christians and we are not Nazarene ...

I named my book "WHY I AM A MUSLIM AND I AM NOT A NAZARENE?" for three reasons:

First:
you Nazarene (of Egypt) when a Muslim leaves his religion and converts to Christianity you say: "he became a Nazarene, and you don't say: he became a Christian, this is prevalent in every time and place ...

Second: this is a fact mentioned by God Almighty in His Holy book ''Qur'an'', as well as our prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), you are Nazarene and not Christians as God the Lord of the world named you in his book "Qur'an", he never named you Christians ...

This came in several places in Qur'an, including:

۱ - (Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse No. ۱۱۱)
''And they say: ''None will enter paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian. ''That is [merely] their wishful thinking. Say, ''produce your proof, if you should be truthful.''

۲ - (Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse No. ۱۳٥)
''They say, "Be Jews or Christians [so] you will be guided." Say, "Rather, [we follow] the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth, and he was not of the polytheists."

۳ - (Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse No. ۱٤۰)
''Or do you say that Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants were Jews or Christians? Say, "Are you more knowing or is Allah?" And who is more unjust than one who conceals a testimony he has from Allah? And Allah is not unaware of what you do.''

٤ - (Surah Al-Ma'idah, Verse No.۱٤)
''And from those who say, "We are Christians" we took their covenant; but they forgot a portion of that of which they were reminded. So we caused among them animosity and hatred until The Day of Resurrection. And Allah is going to inform them about what they used to do.''

٥ - (Surah Al-Ma'idah, Verse No. ۸۲)
''You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allah; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, "We are Christians." That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.''

٦ - Hadith Sahih Muslim No. ۲۱۸
Narrated Abu Hurairah (may God be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), said: ''By the one in whose hand is

my soul, no one hear about me of this nation Jew nor Nazarene, then dies without believing in which I was sent, he will be in fire.''

۷ - Hadith Sahih Bukhari No. ۲۱۰۸
Narrated Abdullah bin Umar bin Al-Khattab (may God be pleased with them), that the Prophet (peace and blessings peace be upon him), said: ''your example and the example of the Jews and Nazarene is that of person who employed laborers and said to them, "who will work for me till the middle of the day for one Qirat Qirat, the Jews did. On Qirat Qirat, then the Nazarene worked for one Qirat Qirat. Then you are working from Asr prayer till the sunset for two Qirats each. Angry Jews and Nazarenes, they said: ''we did more labor but took less wages.'' He said: '' Have I wronged you in a thing of your rights?'' they replied, ''no.'' then He said, '' this is My favor which I give to whom I wish.''

۸ - Sahih Bukhari No. ۳۱۸۹
Narrated Ibn Abbas heard Umar (may God be pleased with him) said: ''I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the platform saying: ''Do not exaggerate in praising me as the Nazarenes praised the son of Mary, for I am only a servant. So, call me the servant of God and His Messenger.''

۹ - Sahih Muslim No. ٤۰۳۰
Narrated Abu Hurairah (may God be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), said: '' Do not greet the Jews and the Nazarenes, and when you meet any one of them on the roads force him to go to the narrowest part of it.''

۱۰ - Musnad Ahmed No. ۱۸٥۷۲
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), said: ''That those who have earned God's anger is the Jews and those who are astray is the Nazarene.''

۱۱ - Sunnan Abi Dawood No. ۳۹۸۰
Narrated Abu Hurairah (may God be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), said: ''The Jews were divided into seventy-one or seventy-two sects, and the Nazarenes were divided into seventy-one seventy-two sects, and my Ummah will be divided into seventy-three sects.''

Third: you are Nazarenes and you are not Christians, the Bible witnesses that as well as your scientists ...

My beloved brother Moa'z Alian has showed this fact in an article for him on the internet, he said: We have seen many unsuccessful attempts to prove the opposite of what is proved in the Qur'an, but I swear it will not happen, because Islam has mentioned facts are inevitable, the Qur'an mentioned the word ''Nazarenes'' on the Christians who were found yesterday and today, it is in all their books and churches, we will prove that as a historical fact proved by the historical books, including the Bible ... .

The Bible witnessed that they are Nazarene and not Christians:


The Christians were called (Nazarene) in their first centuries and it is not abuse as some have claimed but it was their title, they called themselves Nazarenes and what prove my words is the fabricated of translation of the word Nazarene to support ecclesiastic thought and fight against the great Islam, like what came in the [Van Dyke Arabic Bible] (Acts, Chapter ۲٤, No. ٥)
" فَإِنَّنَا إِذْ وَجَدْنا هَذَا الرَّجُلَ مُفْسِدًا ومُهَيِّجَ فِتْنةٍ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ اليَهُودِ الَّذِينَ فِي المَسْكونَةِ ومِقدَامِ شِيعَةِ النَاصِرِيَّينَ.
"

While the text in the rest of the translations is Nazarenes and not Nazareth, this comes in the following:

۱ - (Acts, Chapter ۲٤, No. ٥) [Catholic Translation]
''We have found this man a perfect pest; he stirs up trouble among Jews the world over and is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect.''

۲ - (Acts, Chapter ۲٤, No. ٥) [Common Arabic Translation]
" وَجَدْنَا هَذَا الرّجُلَ مُفْسِدًا يُثِيرُ الفِتَنَ بَيْنَ اليَهُودِ فِي العَالَمِ كُلِّهِ، وَزَعِيمًا عَلَى شِيعَةِ النَّصَارَى".

۳ - (Acts, Chapter ۲٤, No. ٥) [Good News Arabic Translation]
