The Hindu Conversion to Islam
1:20 in Special Days by jj
Day 29 for 11th October, coinciding with Ramadan 2007 / 1428
The vast majority of Muslims in India are Sunnis who have been influenced over the generations by Hindu religion and culture. In one area of India, two leading Muslim missionaries were Khunmir Hussaini (1520) and Syed Hussaini (1568). It is believed that both came with zealous preaching and the power to heal the sick, thus many Hindus readily converted to Islam. Devotion to these Muslim saints continues to this day.
Yet many Muslims live in congested areas where the city infrastructure is of poor quality. But God is at work. Many genuine believers in India have been praying for the Muslim community. Some are fearful of Muslims as well, caught up in the historical Indian prejudices between the varying religious communities. Some areas have a reputation for communal tensions between the Hindu communities and the more volatile Muslim population.
Prayer points for Muslims in India
* May God send labourers into the streets, alleys, homes and families of cities like Nashik to proclaim Christ to the Muslim community (Mt 22:9-10).
* May God prepare the men and women of peace (Luke 10:6) among the Muslims who can receive the message.
* May God help the Christians to move beyond prejudices to really loving and caring for the Muslim community.
* May God pour out His Spirit giving the Muslims a hunger and thirst to know God and His Word (Luke 24:27-32).
