The daughter of a Muslim ruler in the Middle East recently had a miraculous encounter with Jesus Christ that has caused her to repudiate her faith in Allah and openly express her faith in Jesus. As a result, she has been placed under house arrest.
As a member of a prominent family, she was not seeking such an encounter, but it presented itself in a way that she found difficult to ignore.
In fact, those who know her say Najima (her real name and her country are withheld for her safety) was a faithful Muslim. She followed the Five Pillars of Islam, never missed the required five-times-a-day prayers, gave to the poor, fasted and followed all the rules for living as a Muslim woman.
While studying at a Western university, she noticed a small piece of paper stuck in a crease at the table at which she was sitting. It was part of a Bible tract about Jesus Christ.
It read: “For God hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
She thought it was strange and asked herself, “How can Jesus be sin for us?”
She threw the tract in the trash can, thinking that would be the end of it. But the verse kept haunting her. She tried to forget it and went to bed.
No matter how much she tried to forget, the verse continued to project itself before her mind. She could not sleep.
Then came a presence that lit up her room as if the sun was shining through the window at midnight.
Then came a voice: “Daughter, you’re a sinner. There is none righteous, no, not one: All are gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; But I came to take all of your sins. I did ransom for many. Believe me and accept me. I give you eternal life.”
She understood it was the voice from Jesus Christ, and she knelt down and accepted him as her personal savior and Lord.
