My Great Love for Jesus (pbuh) led me to Islam
by: Simon Alfredo Caraballo
A professional Engineer specializing in fire protection and safety engineering, Simon Afredo Caraballo came to Islam after reading some literature on comparative religious studies between Islam and Christianity.
He was born into a Catholic family and was raised in Catholocism with all the related dogmas and teachings well ingrained.
However, as is true with all Truth-Seekers, when the simple truth of Islam became apparent (see the verse quoted below), he could no longer deny it and the path towards becoming a Muslim became his path.
“We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah”;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not” Qur’an (Sura an-Nisa 4:157)
This was enough for him to embrace Islam in 1979. The reason being that if there was not crucifixion, there is not Christianity or Catholic Church.
